okay so having finished Mary Poppins i have thoughts. If we skip the soundtrack and the cheerfulness, this is a psychodelic horror ending with possible apocalypse. Hear me out

- you have a trad british family, high ranking father in a royal bank, suffragette leader mother and two terrifyingly well-trained kids. their nanny is a bit of a dick, loses the kids in the park, and leaves the post

- the kids write an ad for a new nanny which a father tears to shreds. instead he publishes his own ad, to which a crowd of women comes in a response

- the demon arrives. she summons the hurricane to banish the other women, and tricks the father into signing a contract with her

- she shows her magic at first to children only, enthralling them, before kidnapping them to another dimension pied piper style, on the way there introducing her minion/lover/familiar?? the musical man with a thousand jobs

-the children returned from the magical dimension mind controlled, she then gaslights them that it never happened. when they get upset she forcefully puts them to sleep

-by the morning, the mother (from this moment on she never again shows personality or political ambition, instead channeling the demon's agenda) and all the servants are mind controlled by the demon's spell

- demon takes kids out on errands, but instead heads over to the house of her trapped, cursed victim, who cannot leave the house and instead is forced into feats of unstoppable, manic laughter. the children, mind-controlled, help her and the familiar torment him

- on their return home father confronts demon, unsuccesfully, she refuses to leave and instead manipulates him into taking the kids, her minions, along with him to the bank

- before they go there, she gives them instructions (weird, gothic catholic imagery here in the context of st paul)

- at the bank the children act as instructed, go against the father, cause a massive financial crisis on national scale, said to tank the stock worse than the boston tea party did, after father gets angry they run away

- familiar finds the children. he takes them on the rooftops where demon finds them, there is a hellish sequence as they watch london on fire and she manipulates the smoke and ash of air polution, mind-controlling the army of chimney-sweeps that the familiar has been infiltrating

- the army, including the children, invades the father's house. they almost destroy everything and he barely manages to stop his kids from leaving with them. he gets summoned to the bank

- at the bank he is about to get fired when the demon's insanity reveals itself in him. he falls mad, laughing madly and infects the chairman with the laughing-man's curse from earlier. the man is later revealed to have died

-father returns home, feared to have committed suicide on the way back but ultimately succumbing to the insanity. he is revealed to be permanently lost in the demon's scheme and gets reappointed in control of the now demonic bank. the demon reveals that she owns the local police and was the one to orchestrate the first nanny's leaving. she leaves, chaos succesfully sawed

As i Lay Dying by William Faulkner is a very gloomy and serious book TM, riiight until the moment you realise that if anyone else wrote it it would be slapstick. Not saying good, or tasteful slapstick mind you, but:

Family of 6 carrying a heavy object that progressivelly smells worse (sorry Addie) on an extended adventure?

Travelling difficulties and shenanigans?

A depressive sitcoms set of characters including a stingy conman dad, wholesome son who suffers, angry son who suffers and a child that should not be left alone with most of these people?

Shitty comedy movies have been done on less

Okay, so there has been a lot this episode, but the most important:

Celia almost definitely confirmed as timeline hopper?!

Hilltop Centre - now, I could be wrong here, but one of the people forwarding the e-mail at the begining of the statement was named Ray. Like Raymon Fielding, who ran original Hilltop Orphanage. Meaning we've got a link

Heavyset man in black who set supernatural things on fire - connection with Gerry, Abelard and Gertrude! Or alternatively the desolation?

E-mail from Jon

Attempted brutal pipe murder - not just that, but Klaus disappeared before, meaning his name and accent might be a false one. We do not know who that is

Oh my god I was not prepared for the ortolan scene.

What the fuck do you mean tracking eye movements on his throat as he swallows in defiance to god. Sir.

If they fucked bare on that table that would have been less gay

My love and firstborn child (if you can find em in whatever parallel dimension there is in which I propagate) go to Argonauts by Maggie Nelson and Trans: A Memoir by Juliet Jacques.

In between deep history of Bad and the We Got it All Figured Out mentality of contemporary queer discourse sometimes it really takes the absolute chaos that were the early 2000s to remind me how weird and personal the ideas of gender and sex are in real life.

Mazel tov, ladies

Just to be clear...it should happen more often.

Never forget the orgasm wall climbing. Never forgive

"Also they've spent centuries perfecting the mommy domme voice so if they use it you just instinctively do whatever they say."

"Oh, yeah, and there are Space Jews, but they're just normal Jews, but, in Space. And Duncan Idaho...fucks his way out of another problem here. Just outfucks these other nuns, the kinkier ones, and there's blinksquirting if you know what I mean."

Okay so how long until a Doki Doki Literature Club, but it's Jmart flirting while pretending to be robotic and Jonah as Augustus/Monika in the background trying to find ways to contact that universe's Peter

Okay so first of all what the fuck.

Tbh genuinely loved this monster [?] of a book and will come back, but having finished a scream of confusion feels most appropriate

O.O

And in that part of his writing Burke gets angry at *checks notes* the state of common people being filled with common people. Right.

Damn you, democratic ideas, how dare you

Never understood the absolute depth that can be meant by the phrase 'quietly devastating' til now. Forgive me as I quickly internalise the delicious, beautiful self-removal of skin and flesh that is reading Ocean Vuong's 'On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous'
