Le réveil

Tout commença le jour où un célèbre médecin, scientifique de renom et personnalité prisée des médias, déclara, preuves à l’appui, que toute mort avant 120 ans était une mort prématurée. * Le gouvernement s’empara de la question. Le Président prit la parole à la télévision et déclara qu’il allait s’attaquer de front au problème. Il créait ce jour un Conseil de défense réunissant le Président, le…

While doing reach for my owns OCs, I was surprised (while I shouldn't because if Sanada do something right it's definitely the symbolism of her characters) that Eddie is incredibly Thanatos coded.

✅ Psychopompe of sort (carried the bodies to hell/eternal rest), guardian of dead (literally one of the meaning of Eddie's name: Guardian of Tombs) ✅ Poppy theme (its seeds are narcoleptic and help create morphine, related to Thanatos, Hypnos and Morpheus in myth. Other than the sleep like apparence of dead, it's also because ingesting too much of it can be deadly.) ✅ *Anime only* butterfly theme (in Ancient Greek, butterflies are a symbolism for the human soul - it's also why Psyché is given butterfly wings, as she becomes the goddess of Soul. Sometimes, Thanatos is also represented with butterflies)

Both the flower and the insect are also symbolism for the beauty yet the brevity of life. ✅ Give peaceful/unpainful deaths (Thanatos was originally just the Death, then as the myth goes on, the brutals deaths were given to his sisters, the Keres) ✅ Big Family (For Thanatos: A twin brother who had A TON of children including Morpheus + all the others Nyx's children, being his siblings. Mason family is smaller in comparaison (4 boys) but they had a zoo in their house soooo...)

✅ Buttmonkey (Thanatos on paper is scary and inflexible, yet this dude manages to get caught in a bag by Sisyphus.)

(I mean.)

(And he also loses to Heracles for some reasons.)

(As is Eddie for the Angels who always ended up with the short stick).

Now I can see a more twisted vision of Thanatos/Hypnos with Albert/Eddie, so this will be more a theory/interpretation than a true comparaison but still.

Hypnos and Thanatos are twin brothers, and sometimes co-workers.

Hypnos, god of sleep, is represented with white wings and is beloved by humans and gods alike as they allow them to rest, to be at peace. This love is reciprocated.

Thanatos is represented with black wings. In opposition to his brother, he is hated and feared by humans and gods alike, but as Hypnos, the feeling is shared (though the fear is replaced by distaste).

Now, Eddie and Albert. They aren't twin brothers but I still feel there is some parallelism.

Albert is the "favorite" one, despite being the violent one. While saying he hates everything and everyone is probably exaggerated, he is in so much pain, frustration (and delusional), he projects on others, especially the weaks (and Eddie) and search to destroy them.

Meanwhile, Eddie is the "unfavorite" but also the kind one. The one who wants pets (and people) to be at peace. He feels that by 'owning' people (by killing them) he can make them 'happy' and connect with them that way (hence his interest in Ray).

All this to say that, somehow, Albert is like a Thanatos rejecting his role (as a gravedigger) and his family (becoming ironically more 'peaceful' than his so loving brother), while Eddie is a sort of Hypnos who had gone wrong by embracing his brother's (Thanatos) duty.

All the ppl hailing Nosferatu and the "link between sex and death" are just modern Freuds to me

[extrait-livre]

"Les humains ont une pulsion de mort inscrite au fond de leurs gènes. Et si cette pulsion ne s'exprime pas contre son ennemi extérieur, ils la retournent contre eux-mêmes."

La pulsion sexuelle est quelque chose d'étrange.

J'arrive du supermarché ils s'étaient tous déguisés en mode Noël, il y en avait une avec des petites cornes de cerf sur la tête en mode serre-tête, avec l'air d'une conne. j'ai eu envie de la prendre au rayon boucherie sur les jambons ...

qu'est-ce que je fais ?

je consulte ?

"The sexual impulse is something strange.

I just got back from the supermarket; they were all dressed up in Christmas mode. There was one with little reindeer antlers on her head, like a headband, looking like an idiot. I felt like taking her right there in the butcher's aisle, among the hams...

What do I do?

Do I seek help?"

«Podemos pues decir que la era del consumo, al ser el resultado histórico de todo el proceso de productividad acelerada bajo el signo del capital, también es la era de la alienación radical. La lógica de la mercancía se ha generalizado y hoy gobierna, no sólo el proceso de trabajo y los productos materiales, sino también la cultura en su conjunto, la sexualidad, las relaciones humanas, hasta las fantasías y las pulsiones individuales. Esta lógica lo abarca todo, no sólo en el sentido de que se objetivan y manipulan todas las funciones, todas las necesidades, atendiendo al provecho, también en el sentido más profundo de que todo se vuelve espectáculo, es decir, todo se presenta, se evoca, se orquesta en imágenes, en signos, en modelos consumibles».

like idc about works of this day and age that evoke any sort of freudian theory for their story but i do have them categorized in: the ones that do it unironically, that believe wholeheartedly that it's a normal and valid way to understand human relationships through and the ones that use it moreso as a visual and/or narrative framing to treat their actual themes with, especially banking off of pop knowledge of freudian imagery and theory.
