Been watching midnight mass

[yepthatsacowalright]

I just really love how, despite having premises that are confining and controlling, Midnight Mass and The Fall of the House of Usher both give their characters so much agency over their lives. Monsignor Pruitt brings the Angel to Crockett and Roderick & Madeline make the deal with Verna, thus dooming their respective narratives pretty early on, yet everyone is still capable, in their own ways, to make choices that profoundly affect what happens. Becoming a vampire doesn't automatically turn you into a guiltless, blood-thristy killer. Being an Usher doesn't automatically turn you into a greedy, selfish asshole. You are not forever bound to be the younger version of yourself who fucked up. You are not exempt from fucking up just because you have "good" or "right" intentions for making the choices you did. Making a terrible, thoughtless mistake does not automatically render you unlovable, or incapable of making better choices in the future. You are forgivable, and no one is obligated to forgive you. There is no choice that will magically fix it all, but does that mean the individual choices made don't matter? Is dying full of resentment, hatred, and fear not different from dying knowing that you loved and were loved in return? Everyone has a choice. Even when you feel doomed by the narrative you did not chose to be in. Harm, or heal. Change your mind, or double down. Perpetuate the cycle, or reject it. And even if a choice you make only manages to bring a fleeting moment of peace, or help one person go on to live a life you couldn't, as Riley said, it's enough. It won't be forever, but for tonight it is. For tonight, it is everything.

the fact that sarah thought the priest was judging her bc he always watched her from afar but it was rly bc pruitt loved her more than anything makes me so ill. he was proud of you the whole time. he loved you the whole time. god it’s tragic.

i rewatched Midnight Mass for the first time all the way through and god the absolute chokehold that show has. like god that last episode hits you like a ton of bricks. it was always tragic but god is that last episode devastating. dont ask me why john’s love for mildred also has me in a chokehold. like this boy brought back a whole ass demon and convinced himself it was god’s will and it was a damn angel because he wanted another chance with this woman he had loved for so long. “i would have taken the collar off for you” like you poor bastard. dooming everyone else.

just sitting here in silence while the credits roll in tears over erin’s monologue about death and “i can’t feel my legs” and the sheriff praying with his son as he burns. like GOD
