Cat Nouveau: The Mighty Orange On The Tree

[typinggently]

3) an expensive drink, a ruined dress, grafitty for feral bruce and sunshine clark? :)

Sure thing! :D the pure joy I felt at having an excuse to look through fashion shows for some Feral Bruce Fashion inspiration….

~🦇~

It’s one of those places you’d only find in Gotham, Clark supposes. Art nouveau mansion, delicate arches and playful marble swirls, run down and covered in graffiti and now rediscovered by the avant-garde. Resurrected decay, spoiled decadence.

The dress code on his invitation said “formal black” and the sea of tuxedos and gowns is a harsh contrast to the shattered windows, the bare floors. Cigarettes with Chanel-red kisses litter the floor, now and then he steps into puddles of sticky champagne.

Bruce suspects the Miss Quinn in the crowd. He’s wearing a Dress.

-

Clark isn’t listening to what the woman wrapped in gleaming black fur is telling him, but that’s fine. He’s technically not supposed to be here anyways. The Planet doesn’t run an article on this event and the invitation was sent from Wayne enterprises, with an additional note in silvery pencil. Wear the tailored one. An afterthought: please.

In his ear, half a room away, Bruce leans towards the art dealer he’s talking to faux-whisper to him. “You don’t think I can get them to drop some raspberries into my next flute? My doctor says I should add fruit to my diet.”

Clark excuses himself from the Lady in furs and turns towards the bar. He walks slowly, reporter’s gaze sharp on the people he passes, until – “Oh, excusez-moi, Sunshine.” The scent of champagne sharp in his nose, cool liquid seeping through his shirt. Bruce drops the empty flute, it shatters next to Clark’s shoe. “Shit, I am sorry. Here, let me – “ Warm hands on his chest. Clark looks down. Bruce is wearing a black dress, deep boat neckline, shimmering black silk. Long sleeves and a slit on the side that goes up to his hipbone. Pinstripe trousers.

“It’s fine, no need to –“ He catches one of Bruce’s hands, the silk warm against his palm. Squeezes gently, once, to hear that little hitch in his breath. “Please. No need to worry.”

“Well, my hands are sticky.” Billionaire voice, playful-spoiled child, jovial pouting. “Allez, allez, to the restroom.”

And here they are. Some rundown hallway, not yet rediscovered and smelling of the wood hammered over the busted windows. Broken glass under their shoes and graffiti covering the peeling wallpaper. Bruce leans in as he speaks and the lush-gleaming silk of his dress spills from his shoulders to his chest. From this angle, the faintest hint of a bruise is visible in the shadows of his neckline, a pink-purple reminder of a kiss by his nipple. Memories of a hand in his hair, Bruce’s waist bruising under his grip.

Clark nods. Shakes his head. “I’m sorry, what did you say?”

When he looks up, Bruce catches his eye and he pauses. The light falling through the gaps between the wooden planks sharpens his cheekbones, makes his eyes shine. There’s a brief pause, his pulse loud in Clark’s ear. “I think we can spare fifteen minutes.”

With a sigh of relief, Clark leans in, reaches out, warm silk under his palms, Bruce’s pulse against his lips, a hand in his hair. Bruce sighs, his head falling back against graffiti-coloured walls.

-

“Darn, Bruce, I’m really sorry,” Clark says with real regret in his voice, thumb brushing the broken zipper, the hint of warm skin underneath. His own hand tan against the dip of Bruce’s spine. “I didn’t mean to.”

“I’ll fix it later. Hold it in place.”

Clark does as directed and Bruce does something that unpins the sash around his waist. Clark thought it was sewed into the dress, but now Bruce winds it around his waist and over the zipper, hiding the flash of bare skin before he pins it in place again. He turns his head, catching Clark’s eye. The flush is still pink and sweet on his cheeks, sweat and Clark’s kisses gleaming on his neck, his chest. “Ready to go?”

Clark runs both hands over his hair, smoothing down unruly curls. “Yeah.” He smiles, dimple-bright.

Bruce nods, eyes flicking down for barely a second. A flash of teeth as he bites his lips, then he turns. “Great. Allez, allez.”

Clark huffs a laugh and follows.

~🦇~

Ahhhh this was so much fun!! Thank you so much for the prompt! And in case you were wondering, Bruce was wearing Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood, Aurumn 2015 ready to wear -

Day0: One day at a time

Is that supposed to be a start? Why do I feel like I am sitting between 'Free as F***' and 'Flee into F***'? Maybe I'm afraid to name it a start because whenever I did it was a guarantee to NOT take another step. So it's just an experiment. Just doodle for 14 days, no matter what. And also collect every sheet, every back of recipes, bills and whatever paper I scrawled on. Will help me to see why it never stopped to bother me and what *exactly* it is that I am trying to knock back into the closet?

Azeroth started becoming and since has been a part of my life when I started to shape it - holy crap was it really that long ago? So one of my biggest follies must have occurred shortly before Vanilla. I banned myself from what I loved doing. Shortly after I tried to resurrect it by adding a thin polish of academic interest (art pedagogy and that drawing class I never finished). How stupid and how uncalled-for violent, well and in the end to no avail.

My body aches from neglect, my mind is a swirling torrent that keeps me awake at night. Whatever it is that is still simmering in that head of mine won't go away, even skeletons in the closet seem to have a bloody best-before-date. As armchair-posing is no longer a feasible option let's see how far I will come with doodling and scribbeling.

Lucky me, I was about to drop it due to feeling steamrolled by "How to start?" when youTube saved me with a post about Art Nouveau. From what I can recall it's soft, organic lines and patterns resembling organic stuff. Realistic elements are not the focus. Elegance was never my forte, didn't hurt trying nonetheless.

Is Teen Wolf Lovecraftian?

Is Teen Wolf Lovecraftian?

Yes, very much so.

Why?

To understand if Teen Wolf is a Lovecraftian horror we need to start by defining our terms and providing comparisons. Lovecraft stories directly made into movies as a whole are just bad, and most video games too. However, using Lovecraftian ideas and tropes creates a successful narrative in most cases.

Several things define the Lovecraftian horror experience.

Isolation both mentally and physically

Lack of character information which is replaced by character reaction.

Lack of information about the world in which the protagonist finds themselves with a penalty for discovering that information.

The revelation that that which was formerly known is now revealed to be unknown and the consequences thereof

Fear of the unknown, specifically the previously thought known

Body Horror, specifically bodily transformation, from which there is no reversal

The insignificance of the subject in regards to the whole

These look specifically vague and you can apply them around a lot, and people do, but you might also notice a lack of tentacles there.

So before we turn this on Teen Wolf let’s present an example that you can understand the points in question

John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982)

A group of men in an Antarctic station inadvertantly let something other into their base.

Interestingly the least Lovecraftian thing in “The Thing” is the thing itself, and wasn’t that a fun sentence to write.

The Americans [as opposed to the late Norwegians] are already at breaking point, isolation - caused by the weather, their close proximity to each other, boredom and exhaustion have taken their toll, they are a brush fire just waiting for a spark, and that spark is the thing. It is not the spark because it’s hunting them down, because that seems almost incidental in it’s desire to just survive and hide despite it’s otherness, it’s the fact that any of them could BE the thing. I’m going to start calling it the alien - it sounds less like I’ve forgotten the word. This will probably cause problems when I move on to Alien (1979) in a minute.

Combined with that Carpenter uses long empty tracking shots (a technique he used in Halloween [1978] ) which creates a voyeuristic feeling which removes the safety of the base. The way that it works matches “The Strangers” (2008) which removes the feeling of being safe in your own home. The rich white affluent suburb with it’s white clapboard houses and wide green open spaces is invaded by “the shape” as he is called the in the credits, and those shots, in which nothing happen, makes the space unknown and terrifying for it. It removes the illusion of safety.

We know almost nothing about the men in the base, we become invested in them not because of what they are but who, they are charming, funny, tired, and very realistic but it becomes hard to remember their names because those things are ultimately irrelevant. Combined with the discovery of the space ship those men are irrelevant, what they undergo is irrelevant, no one is on the other end of the radio, they will not be saved and their deaths serve no purpose. They and their experience doesn’t matter.

In Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979) does the same thing, a random ship encounters something vast and unknowable and is infected, the Xenomorph then picks off the crew for no other reason than to continue it’s own species, it doesn’t choose them for any other reason than they are there. The robot’s betrayal makes them even more meaningless, any ship that encountered alien life would do, it just happened to be that one.

The presence of the Xenomorph makes the ship unknown, it could be anywhere. At first they think it’s something small and don’t learn otherwise until face to face with it. They have to use technology they don’t quite understand and can’t really use to find it in their own safe space. A safe space surrounded on all sides by absence - space itself. All the things on the ship which previously gave them safety, the machines that allow them to exist on the ship, are now dark places for it to hide. 

In Dario Argento’s Suspiria (1977) - the only film not to have aliens - Suzy goes to a place that is grotesquely beautiful and just happens to be in the next room to the girl who is investigating it, when that girl goes missing she looks for her and discovers the old witch and kills her to save her own life. 

Yet Suspiria, which might be the most Lovecraftian film of them all, has no exposition, most of the characters aren’t introduced, and the movie is mostly experiential, maggots rain from the ceiling, but we don’t know why, the witches are killing the girls in the academy but we don’t know why, instead we have a lurid oversaturated nightmare of a narrative where the dance academy swerves from mundane to brightly lit Roger Corman-esque interior design fantasy. It is a building that if Ludwig II took acid he might design using only primary colours, art nouveau doors, blood red walls and corridors that seem to ooze menace without doing anything, overlaid with Goblin’s infamous soundtrack. Combined with that the actors filmed the dialogue in their own language and English was dubbed over so the characters are not really communicating. 

Suspiria is as close to reading Lovecraft (without the racism) as it is possible to get. And it does also feature body horror when Sarah is resurrected by the witches to act as a weapon, despite her slit throat and the pins in her eyes. It is a nightmare on film.

It is also not a film you watch. It’s a film you experience. [The remake is good but very different and not so Lovecraftian, although most of the characters are played by Tilda Swinton, it’s really squinting are you Tilda Swinton too?]

So having given defintions and examples of what it is - does Teen Wolf fit.

Isolation both mentally and physically

It is impossible for the characters in the know to leave the town, and even if they do then they must return.

We see Scott try to leave twice, once in Motel California and again in Ghosted. Both times they enter a phantasmagoric town which is certainly not the outside world. Other characters are taken by the Wild Hunt. Derek Hale manages to leave, but only after “evolution”.

His trips to Mexico are also phantasmagoric in that it is hard to say that they are not dreams, the Calavera stronghold for example uses a lot of dream logic and wonky camera angles giving the idea that it’s not real. La Iglesia does this as well.

Within the town there are those who know and those who do not. Those who know flock together but have to keep their secret from those who don’t. So Scott doesn’t tell his mother until season 2, Stiles doesn’t tell his Father until 3b, Lydia is still trying to tell her mother in s5.

Characters unaware of the knowledge that others know are completely isolated, without anyone to go to, which usually ends in violence, often against themselves - the Chimera.

With as much as the main characters know it is clear that they know very little about the town, as shown by the family of wendigo who were part of the community.

2. Lack of character information which is replaced by character reaction.

We know almost nothing about any of the characters. We know how they react and how they interact, and how they change, but their histories are completely absent. This is as true of the main characters as it is the victims who only appear in one episode.

3. Lack of information about the world in which the protagonist finds themselves with a penalty for discovering that information.

People know nothing, research can present viable answers which are later proven wrong, characters guess in good faith and are wrong, characters lie, but ultimately they know very little about the world in which they’ve found themselves and those who do know often withhold or manipulate that information.

An easy example is Damnatio Memoriae in which Scott discovers what he believes to be the identity of the original Beast, a serial killer in France, who has nothing to do with the Beast at all. It’s a coincidence that the term has been applied. The knowledge is irrelevant and Scott is left with no more information about the Beast than he did at the start, then the person who does tell him, in Maid of Gevaudan, is Gerard and has every reason to lie, and that’s assuming his guess was correct.

The more characters know in Teen Wolf the more likely they are to end up in Eichen House, and Dr Fenris, in 6b, with the information he has, becomes a mass murderer.

4. The revelation that that which was formerly known is now revealed to be unknown and the consequences thereof

The town is a supernatural hotspot and the revelation of that is the entire plot. I think we can agree that that one certainly applies. Combined with that the use of “safe spaces” as battlegrounds, such as the school, the school bus, the sheriff’s station.

5. Fear of the unknown, specifically the previously thought known

Dr Fenris killed the monsters in his care, the Sheriff nearly has a nervous breakdown with the appearance of the chimera, the possession of Stiles and Scott’s reaction thereafter. These all very much apply, even Stiles fear when Scott attacks him in the locker room in pilot. The more people know the more scared they become.

Traditionally in horror the less people know the more they have to be scared of, but in Lovecraftian horror they know enough to fear it, but not much more, often the creature, by its very existence can induce fear (like the Anuk-Ite) because it is so outside the realms of what the human mind can comprehend.

6. Body Horror, specifically bodily transformation, from which there is no reversal

Werewolves. It is worth mentioning here however that there are anomalies in the transformations, almost all of the werewolves speak of pain during transformation, and Derek uses pain to help control it by overwhelming them with pain, but Scott does not. Just as the protagonist in “The Dunwich Horror” finds himself turned into a fishman there is an inevitability to the transformations in certain cases. Derek is on a path to his inevitable evolution. Scott’s natural evolution is subverted, this might be because he never transforms after his black eyed beast form in season 4. His fear of his transformation holds him back from his inevitable end form, yet there is no way he can be human again, no matter how much he wants it.

7. The insignificance of the subject in regards to the whole

Scott is not important because of who he is. He’s important because he happened to be the person in the wrong place at the wrong time. He is incidental to most of the story despite him being the focus character, the world doesn’t care about Scott McCall, it is interested in the True Alpha, but that could as easily be Chuck Norris. Scott isn’t even the true alpha by virtue but for reasons we do not know, Deucalion had no interest in it, Peter thought it was hilarious, Morell manipulated it to save her own life and Deaton worshipped it. Others use it as a target. When Scott says, “I’m a true alpha you don’t know what I’m capable of” it defines the character. Kincaid tells him he’s not as strong as a normal alpha. There are questions around his biting of Liam. Scott is not the Chosen One, he’s the one that was there and that’s ignoring his questionable behaviour and the very strong argument that he is a villain, and that his narrative was one of fallen messiah and not the hero’s journey.

Frodo was not the Chosen One, he was the guy who had the ring, and many of his successes are because of his party of companions, but Frodo’s quest, which he fails, is of world ending importance.

In Scott’s case, he again succeeds mostly because of his companions, though, unlike Frodo, he is unaware of this, he is not throwing the ring into Mount Doom to defeat Sauron, returning the ring to the jeweller because it needs resized, and might pick up some milk as well while he’s in the area.

So in conclusion is Teen Wolf Lovecraftian = yes

Does it fit the criteria laid out by works accepted to be Lovecraftian = yes

Does it follow the conventions of similar Lovecraftian works = yes

Is it the Lovecraftian conventions spread over such a large scope that cause so much dissatisfaction in the audience = yes

Almost every point in the list is something I’ve seen people complain about, we don’t know about this, we know nothing about that, that makes no sense, I think this episode would make more sense on hallucinogens etc

It is a well written Lovecraftian nightmare, it uses variant realities and isolation, suspicion and distrust well = but it tells us nothing, resolves very little and has a main character who could deliberately be replaced with a well meaning bag of sand.

But at least there were no tentacles.
