i am a tragedy enjoyer before i am human

[catastrophicgay]

girls who are doomed by the narrative!! girls who have been dead since the beginning. girls who are dragged into death not kicking and screaming but clinging on to the brink until their fingers ache with the weight of the years they’ve stolen. girls who��s every last words are already etched on the stone of an open and waiting grave.

THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE (2018) Episode 10 | Silence Lay Steadily

[persephone-plasmids]

I feel like Hill House and House of Usher are teaching the same moral using opposite techniques.

[dcvina-claires]

i love when a character is a ghost but in a tragic way instead of a scary way. i love when a character has been dead from the beginning but is still holding on to stay in the narrative. i love when a character could choose to resent the living but ends up loving them instead. i love when a character drives the story but isn’t quite there enough to be at the center of it. i love when the ghosts are the protectors instead of the ones causing the harm. i love when a character is at the heart of the story because depending on where you began it, no matter how you told it, the story is about the ghost who struggled to keep their humanity

These things make perfect sense when you're a kid. It's only as you grow up that they sound to sound crazy.

Rewatching Hill House for the millionth time, and this time I'm thinking about Steve and Shirley, specifically Steve as Olivia's son and Shirley as Hugh's daughter.

Thinking about Olivia talking about telling stories to honor the dead, and Steve talking about his books as telling other people's stories, keeping the memories of the dead alive. Thinking about the fact they both saw the clock repair ghost, that the two episodes where he shows up are the two that are primarily from their points of view, Witness Marks and Screaming Meemies. Thinking about the Red Room door opening for the both of them, luring them in using their love for the twins. Thinking about how Hill House was Olivia's last architectural project… and Steve's first published book.

Thinking about Hugh's determination to "fix" everything, while Shirley talks about "fixing" the bodies she works on. Thinking about Hugh restoring houses, and Shirley restoring bodies, and the show directly comparing houses to bodies in the dialogue. Thinking about Shirley trying every key she's given to get into the Red Room to no avail, and Hugh trying to open the door with every tool at his disposal, also to no avail. Thinking about Hugh and Olivia dividing their architectural and restoration work so Hugh has the more hands-on, practical role, and Shirley and Kevin dividing their roles in a similar way.

I could keep going on both of these points, just. Yeah, even five years after it dropped, this show still gives me so much to think about.
