Few actors have endured as fraught a journey as Oliver Jackson-Cohen. Few actors are more in demand than the star of The Haunting of Hill House and Jackdaw

by Maeve Ryan

OLIVER JACKSON-COHEN HAS been doing this a while. He decided to act at the age of six. Joined a theatre troupe and began to climb. He continued until university but didn’t get into any drama schools. Throughout our conversation, he tells me there were no signs pointing him in this direction, no surefire chance at success. But he’s found it, and then some.

He rose to prominence with his highly acclaimed portrayal of Luke Crain in Mike Flanagan’s The Haunting of Hill House.

A character that battled a heroin addiction to cope with past traumas, though addiction was the least interesting thing about him. The show featured stars of the past, and launched new ones into the present, Oliver Jackson-Cohen being one of them. The role of Luke changed the course of his life – for more reasons than one.

It was the first time in his life he no longer had to hide, he tells me. “I could be as fragile as I felt.” He took his newfound Netflix fame and began to carve a path that finally aligned with who he was, not who the world wanted him to be.

Now, he takes centre stage in Jamie Dobb’s new film Jackdaw. When he read the script, he thought he was the last man for the job. When Dobb explained the hyper masculine lead needed someone to bring softness behind it, he signed on.

Jackson-Cohen’s career, and presence, proves that the strength of a man lies in his ability to go beyond society’s standards. He breaks the stereotypes like bread over a long conversation in Soho. We discuss his entrance into the industry, facing traumas, and finding a safe place to land.

sm: What was the first movie you ever saw that made you want to act?

o-jc: Home Alone. I remember seeing that film and saying, oh whoa, so a kid can do this? I remember telling my dad, ‘I think I want to do that.’ I was six or seven.

But it gets dark. So, my mum and dad’s house had a bay window that was on the street. And when I came home from school for a week, I just sat in the window thinking, any minute now, someone from Home Alone is going to walk past, and go, there’s a kid! Let’s get him! I was willingly wanting to get kidnapped. Which is so fucked. My dad came home and was like, ‘What are you doing?’ And then he was like, ‘Yeah, that’s not how that works.’

We found a theatre program – I started going there when I was eight. I was never the golden kid. In the drama clubs, I was always like the snake in the background. Or just the scenery. We used to put on terrible plays. I was such an insular kid. I found a safe place to feel where it’s real, but it’s not. So you can experience it all. I did that for three years, and then I was kicked out.

sm: What! Why?

oj-c: I had an attitude or something like that. I got suspended so many times. I genuinely was not looking for trouble. I was always the one to get caught. Like, I was the kid who someone handed the knife to, and I’d be standing above the dead body, and then the next thing I knew it was 20 years in prison. It was always stuff like that. But it was time to move on anyway.

I found this drama school at Riverside Studios. It was a small group, maybe eight or nine people. It was so interesting, because I’m going to do a gross name drop, but in the group was Carey Mulligan and Imogen Poots. It was incredible.

sm: Those were the kids that were just there? Did you have to audition?

oj-c: No, but I did a trial. It was a lot of devised stuff, like improv. A guy named Andrew Bradford ran it. He really supported kids. It was all day Saturday. We were all teenagers. It felt like another life. It grew and grew and by the time I left I was 17 or 18. It wasn’t one of those places that you were beaten down. No fake bullshit. It was a safe place to try stuff. We’d put on plays and we all got agents from that as kids.

sm: Is that the moment you look back on and think of as the beginning?

oj-c: I think so. But it was such a long period of time. Career wise, it was quite stagnant. I did one job when I was 15 that was some late night soap. Then I didn’t do anything until I was 18. I wasn’t like this is real until later. It started to snowball when I finished school. I went to get a French lit degree, hated it, dropped out, and applied to drama school. I didn’t get in anywhere.

In the meantime, there was a job at the BBC for a silly period drama. I did that, took the money, and went to do a foundation in New York at Strasberg.

sm: Tell me about the audition for drama school. You didn’t get in anywhere?

oj-c: Yes. I’m telling you there were no signs that pointed to me saying, yeah, you’re quite good at this. It felt like everyone was saying, ‘don’t do it.’ Which is a really interesting place to start from. If no one around me believes in me, how do I? And I just keep going? It was a mix of delusion and stupidity.

sm: Did you think about doing something else?

oj-c: When I was still in high school, I worked as a runner on productions, mainly at the BBC. I was revolving through that so when I finished school, that was kinda my job.. I got to see the inner workings of how sets worked, rehearsal periods. I got to see the writers and the actors, how they would construct a joke, and adjust things.

When I was 17, I started doing the European Music Awards. I would go and work in the costume department, I didn’t fucking know anything about how to sew on a bun but it was amazing. I got such a solid understanding of how a production office works, how a schedule works.

Tragically, you see a lot of how an actor is a small cog in this machine. Everyone is working so diligently. This whole idea of superiority that can go on, it was important for me to witness early on. Because when you go onto set and someone says five minutes, it actually means five minutes. But it was also hard because I was watching people do what I love. I didn’t get into school, so I said fuck it, I’m gonna do a foundation for a year and reapply to drama school from New York.

sm: Why choose the Strasberg program?

oj-c: Someone told me about it. I thought I needed to go do something that gives me a playground, a space in the meantime. But when I got there, I was with this small agency, and they started sending me out on auditions. The first or second one I went on, they flew me to LA to do a screen test and I got it. This was six weeks into the program. I was like: what do I do?

sm: What did you decide?

oj-c: There were three or four movies I got, but then the financial crash happened and it all fell apart. So I went back to New York to continue with the program. But meanwhile, I had been signed to WME and my agents were like, let’s go down the studio route because that’s going to be fun. I got an audition for this Drew Barrymore movie, got that, and then I dropped out. Then got another job that moved me to LA. I was there for a year shooting and doing the prep for that.

The whole idea was that I’d do that and reapply to drama school. Then I kept on booking. It’s only in the past couple years I was like, thank fuck I didn’t stop. There were moments that I thought I needed to stop and do three years of training.

sm: Did you feel like you were missing something that other people had?

oj-c: I felt like I was back-footed. Like I had no idea what I was doing, then I realised no one does. There is no arrival point where you’re like, ‘I know how to act!’ A lot of it was becoming comfortable with learning and making mistakes. Some will hurt and some don’t matter.

sm: So you start booking jobs, and then it just keeps going? No break?

oj-c: There’s obviously periods where you’re out of work. Or you really want a job and you do 50 auditions for it and you don’t get it. A lot of that went on. But I was 22. I ended up staying in New York until I was 28. I felt like a deer in the headlights. I was just so grateful that I was working and that people wanted to hire me that I never stopped to ask if it was actually fulfilling.

I listened to a lot of people early on. I needed guidance. I needed someone to say, do this job, this will lead to this, or it’s important you work with this person. Then I woke up one day and was like, is there anything here that I’m actually proud of?

That comes with experience and maybe a little bit of delusional confidence where you go, I think I want to try and do something here that is more aligned with me. It was a weird time to be in LA. I’m six foot three. I look a certain way. People wanted the product. I thought that was how I’d get there. I’ll pretend to be confident, I’ll be a version of what these people want. Keep my mouth shut and pretend. I reached a point where I was like, I cannot keep going this way.

sm: Did you feel that you’d abandoned yourself? Or was it a slow realisation?

oj-c: It became harder and harder to pretend to be this chill guy. I’m not chill. But when you’re handed something, you go, this is fun. Then the more you read and become accustomed to the environment you’re in, you start to feel entitled to have an opinion. To feel entitled enough to say: I actually don’t like this, I actually find this quite soul destroying. Having to make myself small, or block myself off and not be as vulnerable as I feel. To not show that.

It was an interesting time – in the late 2000s, men were men and what I was being asked to do was be an idea of what a tall, white, masculine man was that sort of never really sat. I actually feel really fragile. So I took a break for six months. I was like, I’m just going to say no now and try to re-shape the direction of what I want to do. Then The Haunting of Hill House came along.

sm: How did that audition happen?

oj-c: I’d done a film with the producer before. They sent me a conversation that happens in the show between Luke and his twin sister, it was him asking her to get him drugs. They asked me to read that and literally the following day, they called me and were like yep, you.

means something to people. It was an amazing thing to be a part of.

sm: Did you immediately recognise that Luke was the kind of character you were looking to play on the page?

oj-c: Sort of. If I’m honest, I did quite a lot with the role. Mike was very open to collaborating. I put a lot of stuff in there that wasn’t necessarily there originally.

All of the siblings were there but they were sort of blank canvases for anyone to put whatever they needed to put in it. We all came in and made bigger choices to create this family dynamic. They brought on this incredible writer, Scott Kosar, who wrote The Machinist, to tackle the Luke character because he was in recovery at the time.

sm: The writer was in recovery?

oj-c: Yes. He tackled all those monologues about staying clean and everything. That was him. You know, you’re talking about a family that lived in a haunted house, that’s sort of a silly premise but all the substitutions that everyone did, it was all about trauma. Living and being followed by things unless you face them.

sm: What did you bring to the Luke character that wouldn’t have been there if somebody else played it?

oj-c: Someone else would have brought something amazing to it. But Mike Flanagan had so many tapes come through of people playing the addiction, and you can’t play the addiction. When I first looked at Luke I was like, okay, he’s a heroin addict, but then I was like, actually, to put a label on that, to label him, does such a disservice.

So it became about what he was running from, and what was terrorising him. For me, it became about childhood sexual abuse. How do you escape this thing you don’t want to feel? And if you can’t keep it at bay, it will take over. It became about that struggle, not ‘I need my fix.’ It became about this terrorising thing that’s always present, which translates into the show. We all have things that follow us. It became about trying to humanise it and make it real by using that as a way in.

sm: You’ve been open on social media about the sexual abuse you faced as a child. How did you navigate acting something so close to home?

oj-c: I’m of the school of thought: use whatever is real for you. That’s why I do the job. A lot of us use our own personal experience, but we bring it to a safe space where it’s okay for us to experience it. In a way it calls for that, and it felt important to do for the show.

I come back to this idea of needing to stop and reassess what I wanted to do, where I wanted to go, and what I wanted to say in the work that I do. I felt like I couldn’t keep hiding. We’re all complicated, we’ve all had complicated upbringings. That’s just part of life. It’s unfortunate, but it’s sort of always going to be a mess. I needed to put everything that I felt into something. I do that all the time.

We use the parts of yourselves. Including the darker parts, and some of the stuff we don’t want to look at. I’ve never been one of those people to go half on something. You either do it or you don’t. There’s no middle ground. I’m not going to half step in, or pretend.

sm: Did you have any practices while filming to help you not carry the hurt from that world into your own?

oj-c: What was interesting was that all of that sadness was in there anyway. I wasn’t generating any of it, I was just opening it up. I didn’t whip myself up into a frenzy. It just felt like I didn’t have to hide, or pretend it wasn’t there.

sm: Would you say acting has been healing for you?

oj-c: I don’t think the word healing is correct. But it’s been incredibly helpful in helping me understand myself better. It’s probably not the healthiest but I’ve said this before, I feel like I need the job to lay out all my neuroses and vulnerability. I keep myself so closed off in real life. It’s an outlet that feels necessary. That’s why I go off to work every couple days.

sm: You are cast in a lot of thrillers and horrors. Why do you think you mesh well with that genre as an actor?

oj-c: You know, after I did Haunting of Hill House, it was sort of this big thing where the amount of horror scripts that came through was crazy. The amount of, ‘do you want to play a drug addict?’ It’s incredible how desperate people are to put us into boxes.

After Hill House, I did The Invisible Man. That was a horror but the messaging - we’re talking about gaslighting, we’re talking about toxic relationships to an extreme. It was so much more than a scary film. It felt like it had something to say. That’s the thing about horror. When it’s done well, it’s incredibly impactful.

sm: After Hill House, did you feel you had agency when choosing your roles?

oj-c: To a certain extent. But no matter where you’re at: the job you want, they don’t want you. You can be Julianne Moore, but they’d rather have someone else. It’s constant. But it did change quite a lot. In terms of becoming Netflix famous, which is the strangest, most intense thing ever because you’re the most famous person on the planet and then something else comes out. I felt like I was in a fortunate space where I could choose more, but there were films that I really wanted that I didn’t get.

sm: I heard that when you first read the Jackdaw script, you didn’t think you were right for the role?

oj-c: Yes. I called the director Jamie Childs and told him he was nuts. Because again, here’s this hyper masculine man that felt quite robotic on the page. I met Jamie on the set of Wilderness. He was telling me, ‘I’ve written this movie. I’d love to get your feedback on it.’ So I read it. It was still an early draft. Then he said, ‘Do you want to do it?’ I genuinely thought I wasn’t the right fit. I thought it was just out of convenience that he wanted me.

He said to me, ‘It needs someone to come in and make it human. To give it vulnerability.’ He said the film is about how this man readjusts his life following the death of his mum, and I was like, sold! You need some tears? I’ll bring you tears! I’m never leaving my sad boy era. It happened so quickly. We wrapped Wilderness, and then started filming three and a half weeks later. We were up north in January.

sm: You go swimming in the North Sea quite a bit in the film…

oj-c: Oh yeah. It got to like minus nine. It ended with me getting hypothermia. I think I’m a bit too delicate, that’s why. I had this amazing stunt guy called Jamie Dobbs who’s this gold motor-cross champion, and we had to shoot all this stuff of us in the night. They’d get me on a rig, and then they’d get Jamie and it got to minus 12. He got frostbite on his face. It was unbelievable. It was all night shoots. I am so surprised we all made it out alive.

sm: Had you ever cold plunged before?

oj-c: Not at all. I’m one of those people in August that’s like, I don’t know if I want to go in the sea, it looks a bit cold. We did three days on the water. Some of it was in a kayak. The underwater stuff, that’s where it got brutal. We were all eating every 25 minutes because we were so cold. There was a boat just for food. I couldn’t name one thing we ate. It was just fuel. We were going to work at 5pm, and then wrapping in the morning.

sm: Do you often try new things on film sets that you’d never do otherwise?

oj-c: Yes, all the time! That’s part of the allure of it. You get to learn all these weird things that you’d never do. You get to experience these amazing things. I’ve been doing this for so long, because I’m 150 years old, and someone will bring something up and I’ll be like, oh I’ve done that! But then I’m like wait no I didn’t, the character did.

sm: Was there anything else you learned on the set of Jackdaw? Motorcross?

oj-c: Yes! I fucking loved it. If I’m honest, a lot of it is me jumping on and starting up and then getting out of frame. Insurance-wise, I couldn’t do any of the jumps or anything. But it is so great. There is nothing quite like it.

sm: Do you ever think you’ll get into the writing side of film?

oj-c: I have. I just don’t know what I have to say yet. Everyone reaches a point where they think, I don’t want to forever be a product. It would be nice to be part of the creative. I have a lot of opinions.

You go into a job with the best intentions. This is what they’ve told us, this is what’s been sold and then you’ll see the final product and be like: that’s not at all what I thought it would be. The more you do it, the more you feel like you know what you actually like and what you want to be part of. I’ll get to it at some point.

Jackdaw is in cinemas now.

The Gospels AREN’T What You Think – Their True Origins Exposed!

COMMENTARY:

Cornelius iw author of The Gospel of Mark and he wasn't writing for the NYTimes Best Seller List not selling anything, He was reproting the Mythos surrounding a Jewish deity To hist direct report, Theopilus, in Rome as a ffollow up expanded report on Pilate's euangelion to Tiberius that is cited by Tertullain in his Book V, Apology and reflected in te contects of the Gospel of Peter, when was conveyed to Pter by Cornelius off stage in Acts 10

The difference between literature and history is that literature captures the history within the Mythos while history just captues the history, The Mythos moves forward into the futre, chaotically and irrationally, Hisotry recedes from the present into the past. rationally and linerally, History is the shit left in the latrines of Qumran when the Mythos has moved on. I have always believed taht the Post Modern era began with Matthew Arnold's Culture and Anarchy, which I will characterize as the contrast between the sweetness and light of the classic liberalism of Charles Dickens and Disraeli versus the dakness and dust of Marxism and the materialims of the Industrial Revolution, Literature is chaacterized by the paradox of the synthesis of sweetnes and ligght and darnness and dust, History is entirely focused on darkness and dust and all parados is contradiction, Jesus elevates The shea of Moses into the Paradox of Christianity by including the Greek Theory of Knowledge and making Judais square with the world, intellectually, Paline Theology doesn't quite get there: Luke understood Chrisantiy better than Paul What Paul gets right is Romans 13:1 -7, This is the basis of N.T.. wright's interpretaion of Pauline TheologyThe epistemology of the Gospel of Mark proceeds from Socrates;s cup of Hemlock, Jesus's Cross, the Gospel of Peter's ��Talking Cross, Romans 13:1- 7 through Hebrews 13:17 through N.T. Wright's version of Pauline Theology to the separation of Chruch and State of the 1st Amendment, and the 10 Amendment. This what literature shows you when you include Hegel in your Historic Deconstrucion, What the Bible tells me is the ath Dobb Decision denies the operation of the Holy Spirit in the 19th Amendment and is the blasphemy of the unforgivalbe sin, which Pro-Life Caovinism is a similar heresy that makes man the servant of the Sabbath, But if you arnfamiliar with Mathhew Arnold, Jimmy Tabor and Bart "Giggle" Whrman may make more sense with Chapel Hill Campus Crusade for Apostasy, the poplar new thing in the Mythos.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

In the New York Times yesterday, Luke Broadwater and Jonathan Swan reported that one of the reasons House speaker Kevin McCarthy handed access to more than 40,000 hours of video from the U.S. Capitol from January 6, 2021, to Fox News Channel personality Tucker Carlson was that McCarthy had promised the far right that he would revisit that event but did not want to have the Republican Congress tied to the effort. His political advisors say swing voters want to move forward. In the longer term, today’s Republicans are out of step with the majority of Americans on issues like LGBTQ rights, climate change, gun safety, and abortion. Although Republicans are pushing draconian laws to end all abortion access, today Public Religion Research Institute (PPRI), a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, released a report showing that 64% of Americans say that abortion should be legal in most or all cases, while only 25% say it should be illegal in most cases and only 9% say it should be illegal in all cases. Less than half the residents in every state and in Washington, D.C., supported overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion, as the Supreme Court did with the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health decision of last June. In a speech in Des Moines, Iowa, yesterday, Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) echoed Trump’s “American Carnage” inaugural address with his description of today’s America as one full of misery and hopelessness. Florida governor Ron DeSantis traveled this week to New York City, Philadelphia, and Chicago to insist those Democratic-led cities were crime-ridden, although as human rights lawyer Qasim Rashid pointed out, Florida has a 19% higher rape rate, 66% higher murder rate, and 280% higher burglary rate than New York. Another study released yesterday by the Anti-Defamation League, which specializes in civil rights law, noted that domestic extremist mass killings have increased “greatly” in the past 12 years. But while murders by Islamic extremists, for example, have been falling, all the extremist killings in 2022 were committed by right-wing adherents, with 21 of 25 murders linked to white supremacists. President Biden’s poll numbers are up to 46% in general and 49% with registered voters. Perhaps more to the point is that in Tuesday’s four special elections, Democrats outperformed expectations by significant margins. There are many reasons for these Democratic gains—abortion rights key among them—but it is possible that voters like the Democrats’ vision of a hopeful future and a realistic means to get there rather than Republicans’ condemnation of the present and vow to claw back a mythological past.

Lost and Found

This is my contribution to the 2022 Han/Leia Trick or Treat Prompt-a-Thon. @hanleiacelebration I've always wanted to write something about a seance so a BIG thank you to the moderators for this prompt!

Prompt: Treat/seance/Force ghosts

(Also, posted on AO3)

Lost and Found

She didn’t know why he had come. He spent almost the entire trip over claiming he knew all the tricks. He worked with scammers as a kid and nothing got past him.

“People will believe anything when they’re desperate.”

Luke said it was something that he wanted to do. He didn’t sound irritated. He was used to Han’s grumbling and didn’t take any of it as a personal insult. Insisted there was no harm in trying and maybe something would come of it.

“Yeah, something will come of it all right. But nothing good for you.” Han barely looked at them as he spoke. He was scanning the streets as they walked. Making sure every being kept their distance. “Used to pick the pockets of the poor saps caught up the mystic.”

Leia didn’t react as well as Luke. She argued with Han, telling him he wasn’t needed on this excursion. They were fine on their own. She was there to support Luke and Han’s negativity wasn’t going to help anyone.

The fight then slipped into a back and forth, spoken in harsh whispers so they didn’t attract too much attention. He stuck close to her side, occasionally leaning down to emphasize his point. Thinking anyone could reach the dearly departed, as he put it, was bunk. Questioning if she was gullible enough to fall for it.

“I don’t know!” She said that louder than intended. Luke turned around to check on her and she nodded to let him know she was fine. “But not knowing isn’t the same as not true.”

She noticed Han’s eyes moving between her and Luke, noting their quick exchange.

“Thought you’d have more sense, Princess.” He put a hand on her back to steer her around some debris on the street. “There’s plenty of truth but it’s what you see in front of you. No mystery. Anyone tells you they can see beyond this is looking in your wallet and that’s it.”

He was such an ass. She hated his I’ve seen some shit, Princess routine. She knew he’d had a hard life and she couldn’t imagine what his childhood was like but that was because he didn’t reveal anything. Just occasionally dropped lines like I used to pick pockets while street psychics scammed the grief-stricken. He thought he was being enigmatic but he was fucking annoying.

“Why is it so impossible for you to consider there might be more to this universe than what you see?” She kept her voice regulated, trying not to sound too angry. But her diction, every syllable capped with a crisp click of her tongue, gave her away. “Your inability to see beyond your own severe limitations should surprise me. However, there’s very little about you that is surprising.”

“Listen, Sweetheart.” He was so close their arms brushed against each other as they walked. “Some of us don’t got the time to wonder about the other realms. We got enough trouble getting through this one.”

“And some of us prefer to believe that not everyone is lost. Whatever realm they may or may not be in.”

She saw the flash in his eyes. The regret. Knowing he went too far. But he didn’t say anything. Didn’t apologize. So she didn’t feel the need to start playing nice either.

“Though I could stand it if a few others managed to get lost.”

“Guys.” Luke stopped short in front of them and turned around. “I really don’t need either of you to come with me.”

Leia felt her cheeks flush red. She hated it when Luke acted like the responsible adult. She hated it even more that he felt the need to act like that around her and Han a lot lately. To be fair, though, she had been more stressed than usual as they prepared to move to a base on Hoth. A planet that promised isolation but also hypothermia.

“I’m doing this because Dobbs said this woman had a lot of Force talk in her reading. Maybe she can contact my father or Ben. Maybe it’s a scam, But I want to try and I don’t need this energy going in.”

“I’m sorry.” See? She could apologize. Even if she wasn’t the one causing the problem. “I’m here to support you.”

They all started moving again. She felt certain Han would mock her saying I’m here to support you so she didn’t look at him. She could ignore plenty if she had to.

The shop smelled strongly of incense and herbs that Leia didn’t recognize. The shelves were crowded with stones and crystals. Tinctures promising good health and a calm mind. Luke talked to the young woman behind the counter, who then slipped through a curtain into the back, as Leia walked around the store.

Han stayed near the door, getting a sense of the room. She knew he was assessing exits and places to hide if blasters started firing. He took stock of everyone there, if they were carrying weapons, if they were also taking stock of him.

She realized how often she relied on Han to perform this task. She could focus on other things while he ensured they had an escape route when everything went to hell. He drove her insane much of the time but they were a good team.

The young woman stepped back into the shop and waved a hand toward them.

“She said all of you should come back.”

Luke shrugged, smiling at her and Han before passing through the curtain. He had forgotten they were irritating him. He had already moved on. Han held a hand out, indicating she should go first. His hand went to his blaster as he followed.

She didn’t know what she expected from a storefront psychic, or medium, or whatever she called herself, but Leia didn’t guess she would look like a grandmother pulled from her kitchen duties. The older woman was short and plump and wore a headscarf covering her grey hair. She took off her apron, placing it on the back of her chair, as she sat down at the table. Luke sat across from her and Leia took a chair a little to the side. Han, once again, stayed close to the door, leaning up against the wall.

Luke was about to speak but the woman held up a hand indicating silence. She closed her eyes and remained perfectly still. They all ignored Han’s snicker. When the woman’s eyes shot open again, Leia almost jumped.

“Much has come into the room with you.” She didn’t look at any of them but kept her gaze toward the ceiling. “Many voices and spirits cling to you.”

Leia took a deep breath to stifle her own snicker. This was perhaps more than she expected. She glanced at Luke to see his reaction. He was almost squirming in his chair, anxious to speak.

“Your aura is strong.” She nodded at Luke this time then turned to Leia. “And yours.”

It was Alderaan. She carried that shadow with her everywhere she went. And all the beings lost during the Rebellion. Beings she essentially sent to their death. She lowered her eyes because she didn’t want to risk the woman looking at her directly.

But she felt eyes on her. Turned back to see Han watching her. His gaze was soft, concerned, and she gave him the smallest of nods.

“Do you have any questions?” The woman placed her hands palm down on the table in front of her. Kept her eyes closed and head tilted back. “Anything you want to ask the spirit world?”

“I’m wondering about my father.” The words spilled out of Luke’s mouth in a rush. “Is it possible to contact him? He should be… He should be easy to contact.”

He glanced quickly at Leia. They had a long conversation before leaving the ship about him not mentioning the Force until the woman did.

“Your father?” She opened her eyes to stare at Luke. “No. He’s not here.”

“Oh, okay.” Luke shifted in his chair again. “There’s also a friend I was wondering about.”

“No.” Her voice was sharp. “They’re not here. It’s not time.”

“Not time for what?” Luke looked at Leia then back at the woman. “To talk to them?”

“What do you want?” The woman looked behind Luke. Locked eyes with Han. “Why are you here?”

Han didn’t move an inch, didn’t look surprised or startled that she was addressing him directly, but Leia knew that look. He was ready to spring.

“Just watching out for a friend.”

Leia thought the woman gave a small smile, an almost challenge accepted expression, before closing her eyes again.

There was a sudden chill in the room. Leia suspected a vent was opened, something to provide more atmosphere for the reading. She hated that Han might be right about this one. It seemed very unlikely they would encounter a genuine window to dead Jedi or loved ones here. Not that she would admit it, of course. She would never give the Captain that satisfaction. Besides she wanted Luke to find what he needed and knew that might include unconventional means. Han simply wanted to prove himself right.

Leia jumped at the sound of a loud rap. They all did. Strangely, though, she noticed they all looked in different directions. Like they all heard a different point of origin. The woman remained perfectly still, eyes closed, hands on table.

“She’s here.”

“Who?” Luke’s hands were on his knees. He was listening, waiting for a signal.

A second rap sounded.

“She never left.”

“Left where? Left who?”

Leia noticed the slight smile again. Wondered if the woman knew she was being closely observed or assumed they were too busy reacting to the raps and looking around the room.

Another rap, louder, from the opposite side. The woman definitely smiled with that one. Nodded.

“It took her some time to find you. You were lost for some time.”

Luke looked at Leia with wide eyes. She shrugged in reply, admitting she had no idea.

A series of raps followed. They were moving around the room. She couldn’t interpret a pattern, the volume was up and down. They sounded like someone checking a wall, knocking and listening for a hollow or solid sound.

The room was getting chillier. Leia realized there was no breeze so no vent. It was coming in from all sides.

“You move around too much.” The woman laughed. “But a mother will always find you.”

“Mother?” Luke sat up straighter. “My mother was a Jedi, too?”

The woman scowled, still refusing to open her eyes.

“Not everything is about the Force, boy.” She moved her hands over the table in circles. “Already told you they said you aren’t ready yet.”

“For the Force? But I’ve already started training.”

“Luke!” Leia hissed. He was excited, and confused, but he needed to be careful. They didn’t know if this woman reported anything to the Imperials.

There was something else in the room. Someone. Leia was sure if it. She remembered when she was about four and a great-uncle died. The family had gathered for the funeral and Leia was surprised when her uncle sat down beside her. Her parents said he was gone, never coming back, but there he was smiling at her.

Tell everyone I am okay, Little Leia. He looked younger than the last time she saw him. Happier. They will believe it if it comes from you.

When she told her mother, Breha said it was an honor he appeared to her and she shouldn’t be afraid. She wasn’t. It was a warm experience, welcoming, and she was disappointed that he never visited her again. No one else did either. And after a few years she forgot all about it. Until now.

“You need patience.” The woman was irritated by Luke’s distractions. “Your time will come.”

“But my mother is here? Can you ask her name?”

The rapping found its rhythm. A beat that bounced from one side to the other. Whatever was in the room stopped beside Leia. Whoever. She needed to admit it was a person. Or was at one point. She could sense a shape, human, standing next to her.

Whoever it was leaned in. Leia felt a breath she knew wasn’t there. A hand brushed down her cheek and along her jaw.

“She’s curious about you.”

Leia felt the hand graze past her shoulder and down her upper arm. Despite the temperature in the room, the touch was warm.

“How are you doing this?”

The woman grinned, assuming Leia was talking to her.

“Spirits need a vessel.” Her hands were still moving in circles on the table top. “It’s not about being Force-sensitive. It’s not the energy that surrounds us.” Leia realized the woman’s hands were moving in time with the knocking. “Specific beings want to make contact and they can’t do it on their own.”

Leia didn’t know why but she wasn’t afraid. She knew this being, entity, spirit, meant no harm. Knew it was somehow trying to introduce itself. She tried focusing her eyes, hoping the spirit would materialize. She wanted to see a face. Make eye contact. The spirit wasn’t familiar—she knew it wasn’t Breha—but also not a stranger. If it was Luke’s mother, maybe that was the connection. Perhaps she recognized Luke in it.

“She thinks you should cut your hair.” The woman laughed like she and the spirit shared a good joke. “She remembers it when you were young. It was lighter. Soft.”

Leia reached out and took Luke’s hand. She wondered if Luke could feel the spirit, too. He never met his mother but maybe he remembered that ghostly touch through his hair when he was little. She had vague memories of her own birth mother, a feeling of intense love and sadness, and it was possible Luke remembered something similar.

“She’s sorry.” The woman’s head fell back. “She’s sorry that she left you with him.”

The rapping increased and Leia sensed a rising panic around her. The woman let out a low moan. Guttural and pain filled.

“She didn’t know.” The woman’s hands moved faster across the tabletop. “It was already too late. She couldn’t do anything.”

Leia looked at Luke when he squeezed her hand and he mouthed, what’s happening. She didn’t acknowledge his question, turning back to the woman. Ten minutes ago she would’ve been hard-pressed to admit any of this was real and now she wished she knew some way to sooth a restless spirit.

Nothing in the room changed. The holos on the wall stayed in place. The woman’s apron still hung from the back of a chair. But Leia could sense things swirling around her.

“She tried to contact you but you couldn’t hear.” The woman was speaking quickly. Leia could see her eyes moving, darting from side to side, behind closed lids. “You wouldn’t listen. Then she lost you.”

Leia thought she heard another voice, a muffled moan or crying. She didn’t know if it was coming from the woman or inside her own head.

“It’s okay.” It was a whisper. Barely a breath passing Leia’s lips. She didn’t know where to direct her voice and hoped the spirit could hear her. “Everything is okay. I swear. He’s okay.”

For a brief second, Leia thought the wind was knocked out of her. A warmth, like stepping into sunlight from the shade, passed through her body. A rush from back to front. It was exhilarating and slightly scary. She thought she could smell a perfume, or maybe it was spices. She let out her breath, slowly, not wanting to lose the sensation too quickly.

She turned quickly to look at Luke, who was craning his neck from one side to the other. He was trying to catch whatever had passed by.

“You see her, too.”

The woman’s eyes were open and she was staring at Han. She had a look of pride and triumph. His eyes were locked on something behind the woman. When he realized everyone in the room was looking at him, he shook his head and growled.

“Don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“You know.” The woman stopped moving her hands. The knocking ceased. “She wants you to listen.”

“This is bullshit.” He was trying to not look behind the woman but couldn’t resist, though Leia felt certain the spirit was gone. “Don’t know what you’re up to but this is bullshit.”

“You said.” The woman leaned back in her chair.

Han turned to Leia. His eyes were searching, wanting to know what she experienced, maybe trying to validate or understand what just happened. When he saw her and Luke’s hands still clasped together his eyes went dark. He pushed himself off the wall and pointed at the woman.

“You’re just throwing shit at people and hoping something sticks.”

“I don’t know.” Luke turned in his chair to look at him as Leia pulled her hand back. “Some of that felt very specific.”

“Great! The farm boy’s now an expert in seances, too.”

“C’mon, you have to admit…”

“She’s messing with your head. Knows you’re desperate for info so deflects to something else. Probably about to reel you back in with a message from your father any second now.”

“Han, I felt something, too.” She was trying to be gentle because she knew he was upset.

“Oh, yeah? What exactly were you feeling, Sweetheart? Getting some haunted house scares so you can snuggle with your boyfriend?”

She jumped up and spun toward him. “This is what I get for trying to be nice.”

“Not sure where the being nice to me part fits in but I’m done here.”

He was gone, the door swinging shut behind him, and Luke and Leia were left staring at each other, confused by everything that had just happened.

“I’m still going to charge you for the full half-hour.” The woman stood up. She straightened the scarf on her head with both hands. “You can pay my granddaughter on your way out.”

She picked her apron up and disappeared through another door.

He was waiting for them outside. Even though he was angry, maybe embarrassed, Han refused to leave them in a neighborhood he considered dangerous. He watched her approach, trying for a neutral expression but couldn’t completely hide his hurt.

“Luke’s paying.”

She knew he wasn’t mad at her but he was angry. Confused and stuck.

“I could feel her in there.” She stood close in front of him. Told herself they needed to make room on the crowded street. She didn’t want to be overheard. “Your mother.”

He looked down at her and didn’t break his gaze. Didn’t speak. Didn’t call the woman a fraud again. Or accuse Leia of being gullible.

“I could feel her close. I swear she touched my cheek.”

Han listened to her. Knew she had no reason to lie. She wasn’t trying to trick him. He shifted his gaze to her hands, then neck and ears, taking her in inch-by-inch. He grazed the back of his hand down her cheek and along her jaw barely making contact, following the same pattern as the ghostly entity.

She wanted to ask him if he had seen it happen. If his mother had done the same thing to him. But she couldn’t. She didn’t have the breath to push the words out as his hand moved along her neck and shoulder, down her arm. The smallest of smiles raised the corners of his mouth and Leia felt that stepping into sunlight warmth throughout her body again.

“So, what did you think?”

Luke was suddenly beside them. He was ready to talk it all out. Go through every detail.

“I’m not sure what to think.” She stepped away from Han. Felt her cheeks flush again. “It was lot to take in.”

“We need to get moving.” Han nodded down the street. “We’re easy targets just standing here.”

This time, it was her and Luke in front as Han walked a few paces behind. She nodded politely as Luke talked but her mind was elsewhere. Wondering how many other spirits might be keeping pace with them as they walked. Knowing Han was watching her every move. Remembering the warmth of his touch along her arm. An entity she had yet to identify.

COMMENTARY:

Well, being able to do a Flannel Graph after reading the Bible is a good way to read the Bible.

If I was going to Flannel Graph the abrupt ending of the Gospel of Mark, I would put up the Empty tomb on Easter Morning. Then I would put up 16 Roman soldiers and a centurion sprawled in front of the tomb and knocked out by the shared vision of the Talking Cross, And the sun is just beginning to peek above the horizon and a shaft of ligth is falling on the Young Man sitting in the tomb and a group of women that includes Jesus's mother, Mary of Nazareth and Mary Magdalene and others and Mary of Zanareth recognizes the Young Man as the angel who had seduced her as recorded in Matthew and Luke. The Young Man is the Holy Spirit. And, just then, the soldiers begin to wake up and arise out of the ground mists and frightened the women, who rean away without a by your leave.

Tje Gospel of Mark is a ghost story and that Cornelius presents as a war story he's passing up the chain of command about this whole Christian super powers event under Pilate. The point of the Resurrection was to capture the imagination of the Romans and validating the God Hypothesis. When Cornelius wrote The Gospel of Mark, he expected Rome to be understood literally All these things happened and had been captured by the Roman military intelligence function of the X Legion in an otherwise routine surveillance file Before Jesus was arresteded. It's like Jesus was being monitored by a multitude of porch, security and trail cameras programed to record everything going on.

When it comes to women in the Bible, Moses corrupted the Commandments to suppress and dominate women. To say the Bible is anti-women is cosmic understatement Women were not worshiping the Golden Calf: they were celebrating the emancipation of their uterus from the yoke of the Pharoah;s which was not part of Moses's program, so he adulteredn the 7th Commandment from something like "Thou shalt not adulter the Law to posses what you covet of your neihbor. his wife and cattle, to Thou Shal Not Commit Adultry and THow Shalt not Covert Your Newighbors Possessions.

This created women as brood mares and 2nd Class Citizens that has been reflected in Sam Alito's Dobbs decision. The point of the ending of the Gospel of Mark is the women led The Way into the Kingdom of Heaven, beginning with the Mary of Nazareth and the Young Man in the Empty Tomb.

Anyway, that's how I read the Bible.

Obey me characters (minus the new trio) as Characters in British soaps

Thanks to @highwayhells for the idea and helping me out

Lucifer

Mick Carter or Cain Dingle.

Both are family oriented men, but both often tend to take a more agressive or forward approach, but most of the time it's when family is concerned.

Mammon

Billy Mitchell.

Often very selfish and desperate and the butt of peoples jokes. Often a push over, but also cares a lot about family at the end of the day...also in a lot of things for a pay out.

Leviathan

Finn Barton or Vinny Dingle.

Sweet and really shy, but fights for the things he loves. Often viewed as weak. Has low self esteem.

(I absolutely adore Vinny Dingle and will not tolerate slander)

Satan

Daniel Barlow.

Extremely academic and Smart all around often seen educating family members and friends as he's the most intelligent of the bunch. Also has some family dependency.

Asmodeus

Sean Tully

Very sassy and image dependent, but very very loveable overall and just wants to do good and have a good time although sometimes goes about things the wrong way to do so.

Beelzebub

Tyrone Dobbs.

Another Family oriented man yet one that's soft and often cares too much about peoples feelings, but despite all his hardships he tries his best.

Belphegor

David Platt.

Sarcastic, Moody yet overall humourous. Family matters a lot, but he's got a weird way of showing it. Often plays things off with a cynical joke.

Diavolo

Marlon Dingle.

A massive worrier and always fears the worst. Fependant is an understatement, but also very humourous, but often accidentally funny and is often the butt of jokes too. Especially dependant on Paddy.

Barbatos

Paddy Kirk

Smarter than he let's on and is dependent on Marlon just like how Marlon is dependent on him, although he is definitely the logical one of the pair. Always wants the best for everyone and sometimes pushes them to their full potential.

Simeon

Charles Anderson

A Vicar who wants to protect his son and do the very best for him, but also comfort people too. Just a very caring and compassionate man who found his good nature in his faith.

Luke

Dennis (Denny) Mitchell

Resentful and distant yet depends on family quite a lot. Will do anything to prove he's worthy to be a big league.

Solomon

Jay Mitchell

Often seen as a bad egg or something being off about him, but is actually a lovely caring person who deserves respect and only wants good things for those he cares about

#obey me shall we date #obey me #obey me lucifer #obey me mammon #obey me leviathan #obey me satan #obey me asmodeus #obey me beelzebub #obey me belphegor #obey me diavolo #obey me barbatos #obey me simeon #obey me luke #obey me solomon
