Lovecraft Country Episode 1
My dad told me I'd love this show and I got nothin else better to do rn so let's fakkin GO
Oh wow there's a lot happening
Jackie Robinson just cut Cthulu in half with a baseball bat
OH ITS A DREAM okay that makes much more sense
Looks like this is the 40s or 50s? Idk my years very well, but segregation is a thing for sure (future Marko here, it's the 50s)
Aw man they gotta walk? That sucks
"Stories are like people. Loving them doesn't make them perfect. You just try and cherish them, overlook their flaws" GODDAMN I love that. I don't agree with overlooking their flaws (both in stories and people), but I understand the meaning and I love it so much
Father's gone missing womp womp
Hippolyta, that's a cool name, imma steal it
I gotta say Atticus is a very pretty man. I didn't see it as much when Johnathan Majors played Kang in Loki (mainly because he wasn't there for long I think), but he is v pretty
Oooh secret legacy?? Mysterious letters??? V interesting...
Oop dude literally in the middle of a BJ and just talks to Atticus like he wasn't A Bit Busy just then
Ooh those two sing well!
Fuck yeah bust open that hydrant
Oof I guess Leti isn't as close to her sister as I thought
Oh damn she drew a grim reaper right over where they need to go lol
Damn Atticus is probably so smart with all those books, if people weren't so damn racist maybe he wouldn't have had to join the army to move out, he could've been a writer or somethin
Oop there's a hole in the wall. Bet that's a fun memory...
Bruh who tf did he call in South Korea???
Oh gross, the monkey noises.... hate seeing how people act towards them
Bruh this red car is fuckin banger look at the wood?? If old cars like that weren't so unsafe I would love to drive one
Oh jeez I hope this diner isn't too awful an experience...
Oh my god what in the fuck is happening
LETITIA FUCKIN LEWIS
WAIT THAT'S THE CAR THEY SAID HIS DAD WAS DRIVING THE FANCY SILVER CAR
WAIT WHAT THE HELL DID THE TRUCK HIT??
WHO'S THIS RANDOM WHITE LADY
Okay so the diner was definitely a terrible experience. Love how smart Atticus is tho, he figured that shit out quick
This little girl is so creative I love her drawings
Sounds like Leti's mom wasn't the best to her, but her family never saw that so they're mad she didn't go to the funeral
Oof that's a rough fight to have, the one between Atticus and his dad. I understand why his father would be upset at Atticus for joining the army, but I also understand Atticus too. He views his country the way he does stories. "You just try and cherish them, overlook their flaws"
Dad and George's parents were shit, so then his Dad was shit, and George feels like he didn't protect his brother or Atticus enough. Oh the cycle of abuse ever turns...
Devon countyyyyy that's the one with the grim reaper on it
Aw fuck is that a cop
Nooooo fuck fuck fuck
FUCK ITS THAT SHERRIF THAT'S MURDERS PEOPLE
SUNDOWN TOWN FUCKIN FUCK
Oh you motherFUCKER
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK
Oh mgod that was fucking terrifying
GODDAMNIT NO FUCK
HOLY SHIT WTF IS THAT
GO LETI YOU CAN DO IT
Fuuuuuck this guy is turning into a monster....
The flaaaaares v nice
Bruh why you guys walking did she total the car??
THERE IT IS THERE'S THE SILVER CAR
UHHH?? "WELCOME HOME"???
Ok so that was uhhh fucking amazing? The mystery, the monsters, the awesome characters, the struggles with racism juxtaposed with the science-fiction struggles, FUCK this is set up so damn well?? Goddamn okay I'm gonna proofread and post this and then imma watch the next one cuz I can't fuckin WAIT

On Leti...
So, Leti is a big character, and I mean that in terms of her presence; in how she fills a room, how she is admired and desired and how she kinda’ uses that to escape the burdens of black generational trauma.
Leti feels like that future auntie who will tell you the truth, take you to a salon, and show you photos of all her young girl adventures.
She leans into this flighty adventeress aesthetic to escape trauma. Even her estrangement from faith is about that...Until all the goings on with Tic and magic, specifically being brought back from the dead.
She’s misread a lot because of the exterior.
...And the loud boisterious armor she often deploys. The fact that Tree (and likely a lot of folks in her orbit) thought she was “fast” when she was actually a virgin. That comes from the burden of prejudgment of being an atractive black woman who doesn’t dress and speak “modestly”... but I also believe being the youngest and lighter-skinned sister also informs this misread.
You get the impression that a lot of rumors were likely spread about her, especially given her mom and her leaving town.
She *is* a lot like her mom, and I think she knows that and tries her best to escape that by attempting to make her frequent estrangement about helping others...her Civil Rights and artist friends.
And she is extremely solid and sure in her morality, I think because of her mom. .--Her determination to throw off that genetic piece of her.
She bumps heads with her sister, because she is the one who knows her best and pokes holes in her bullshit. In the fact that Leti running away and not taking on adult responsibilities is in fact *just* like their mom, despite Leti’s using the money given to her to “help” others (by helping herself forget who she is). Here is an adult truth. We *do* take on the faults of parents, whether we want it or not, but the individual choices one makes, can in fact make those traits assets, i.e. “Letitia “fucking” Lewis”.
...But yeah, she is a classic “baby girl”, youngest in the family.
The one who demands/commands attention at every turn. Even the car smashing -while for the most part was about being fed up and needing to affirm her right to live after being dead at the hands of a racist wizard- was also about that personality trait.
Her and Tic’s love comes from knowing one another so well. Again, she knows the shy bookish nerd Tic actually is, the guy who deduces and cares deeply to a fault; military-grade Dorito build he has now and all.
