and it all breaks down, and rises back up, and breaks down again, and every living thing grows out of every dying thing. and we leave more life behind just to take our place. [insp]

Here. Right here, this moment. “What a curious and charming man,” I thought. Oh, it had been so long, I’d forgotten that feeling, but… I looked at you, and… I almost forgot myself for a moment. God knows I’ve tried not to think of you. Very hard, but I… I’ve thought of you often. Thinking about the places we would go if we were ever to leave Bly. Where we’d settle. You’d open your restaurant. Make me taste all those wonderful recipes you created in that beautiful, maddening mind of yours. I always think that I would very much like… to spend the rest of my days with you. Listening to your dreadful puns, holding your hand, and… I loved you, Owen. I should have told you.

I have this thought that Jamie and Owen have always been bros while working at Bly but then after everything and eventually being the only ones left of their found family, their bond just became stronger over the years and honestly if that doesn’t make you cry…

i truly believe that even in another lifetime, peter quint would’ve never deserved rebecca jessel because while he was completely willing to overtake miles–a ten-year-old boy who looked up to him and saw him as a surrogate uncle figure–just to fulfill his selfish whims, rebecca loved flora so much that she stayed by her side and constantly watched over her, up until the very end, and even though she’d already died once–in a very painful and traumatic way, at that–she was still willing to repeat the very same torture she was subjected to in order to ensure that little flora would never feel scared or pained in what was almost her final minutes on earth

BLY MANOR APPRECIATION WEEK ↳ Day Seven: Free Choice → Jamie and Peter as narrative foils of each other

[ier-6d]

The juxtaposition of Jamie and Peter in Bly Manor is such good and subtle writing. These characters are different sides of the same coin. Both characters come from backgrounds of extreme abuse, poverty, and abandonment. Jamie works hard and tries harder to be a better "boring" person and not carry the toxicity of her childhood with her or infect the world with it. Peter, on the flip side, let's the toxicity consume him and infect the world around him.

They both are involved in a relationship with the au pair who works at Bly, Jamie with Dani and Peter with Rebecca, and these two relationships couldn't be more unlike even if they tried. Jamie is patient, honest, kind, and gentle with Dani. Peter is obsessive, manipulative, possessive, and cruel to Rebecca (he gaslights the fuck out of her).

Jamie is a huge part/reason Dani didn't succumb to her "beast" for a longer than expected period of time. Peter killed Rebecca because even in his own death he was still possessive over her life.

Jamie is a gardener with plants but also to the woman she loves.

Peter is a manipulator, murder, and kills the woman he claims to love.
