#petals to thorns

D4vd – Music Hall of Williamsburg – July 8, 2023

After making a name for himself with Fortnite videos and TikTok, precocious teen D4vd — born in Queens, raised in Houston — dropped his first EP, the pop- and R&B-filled Petals to Thorns, about six weeks ago. And on Saturday night at Music Hall of Williamsburg, he put on his first of three local shows.

(D4vd plays Racket tonight and tomorrow.)

VC Andrews was so good at portraying how trauma can pass on from generation to generation (e.g. Cathy Dollanganger fearing that she will become like her mother and ending up locking her son away in the attic)

Anyone ever think of the parallels between Flowers in the Attic and the biblical story of the Forbidden Fruit?

Like God put the forbidden fruit in the garden and warned Adam and Eve not to eat it- putting the thought in their minds in the first place. And if God is all knowing then he knew they would eat it and just wanted an excuse to punish them. So when they do eat, he punishes them so.

In Fita the grandmother puts the idea of incest in the kids heads to the point of obsessive thought. Constantly warning them against it when they probably never would have come to such an idea on their own. And the whole while, Olivia believes they eventually will commit incest but she just sits and waits for it so she can punish them.

You think this was on purpose? Lets discuss

reading the flowers in the attic series….. incest is a big part, but not even close to the worst horror that actually occurs in the books. It’s just a series of morally gray characters doing horrible things to each other. Only a few characters are genuinely innocent and blameless by the time they die/leave the narrative.

(About the bad ending)

I truly think Sonic wouldn’t give up despite how hopeless the situation is, so he probably would persist in trying to being Shadow back.

I mean he’s still there right in front of him (his body at least) so he isn’t completely wrong right?

And if Sonic doesn’t give up on Shadow, then not all is lost for him

If Nine isolated completely then there wouldn’t be a lot of hope for restoring their universe tho

So still a bad end 😭😭😭

well, one thing about bad endings is: they can always get worse! sonic never gives up on shadow? that's just more opportunities for the megaflora to get him. especially since the scavengers + halcyon wouldn't keep helping him, so he'd be on his own. all it would take was one lucky jab with a neurotoxin-filled thorn, and they'd have their prize. forever
