lenore being protective over annabel!

she literally sets her home on fire, pretends to be dead and cross dresses to make sure annabel can have a life that she wants:

protects her selflessly even in their first “new” meeting:

and later against poppy:

making sure annabel doesn’t fall:

…THEN LITERALLY JUMPING OFF A RAILING TO SAVE HER:

she catches her when she faints !

she’s so desperate to protect and help:

what drives me insane about how barok van zieks being deliberately associated with dracula and vampirisms and such is that dracula (novel) is literally about the fear of the other. dracula is a foreigner from a scary foreign country who wants to invade england and its derived from real fears that the british had of people colonizing them back. barok van zieks, world famous racist, lord of racism in the ace attorney fandom, was designed in the image of a character created to represent racist fears. The irony!!!!! I love it!!!!! Was this intentional???? I dont know!!! But you can certainly say alot about it!!!!

even in-game, because the characters' reactions to him are based off that Fear of the Other, he is dehumanised and thus othered all the while he views japanese people with contempt. london views him as a harbinger of death. barok views japanese people as a group who only brought him misfortune; who tricked him and brought death to his family. what is the significance of this? what more can we say if we see him as someone brought up coddled and innocent (as ive said too much about) then having it all stripped away from him whilst also being casted away into the category of the other. what does it mean for the relationship between him and ryunosuke, who wanted to push through the reaper and find out what he really was

i cant really say much because its been a little bit since ive finished the game and so i cant recall specific details but like oughhhhhhhhhhhhh lets think about this

Links to films I have hanging around

Most of these are either sci-fi or horror.

Please bear in mind the age of some of these films when watching they will not be 100% cohesive to modern views.

Most of these are links to internet archive. There are also links to wikipedia and youtube.

1920s- mainly german expressionism:

The cabinet of Dr Caligari (1920)

The man who laughs (1928)

Nerves (1919)

Nosferatu (1922)

Metropolis (1927)

Genuine (1920)

The phantom carriage (1921)

The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926) <- oldest surviving animated film 

Die Nibelungen (1924) -> i warn you it is 6 hours long. Has the first dragon ever shown on a screen though

Different from the others (1919) 

This is one of my favourite films and also the saddest film I have ever watched. It is the first film to show homosexuality in a positive light. 

The majority of the film was destroyed by the Nazis.

Definitely worth a watch if you are interested in LGBTQ history.

30s horror:

Frankenstein (1931)

The bride of Frankenstein (1935)

Dracula (1931)

M (1931)

Freaks (1932)

The mark of Zorro (1940)

Sci-fi B movies:

The green slime (1968) <- my favourite

It came from outer space (1953) <- a classic

Animated:

La Planète sauvage (english version) (1973)

Akira   (1988)

Janos Vitez (1973)

Ballerina on boat  (1969)

Experimental: 

Koyaanisqatsi (1982)

Musicals:

Little shop of horrors (1966) <- i am being slightly sneaky putting this here since this is actually the original film that inspired the musical 

Cabaret:

Joel Grey live (1988)

Movie (1972)

Alan Cumming at the Donmar warehouse (1993) <- my favourite

rahh i need to get back into reading house of leaves¹, i got real into it before falling by the wayside² when classes started giving more work. gotta get out the sticky notes and shit and dive back into it.³

────────────

¹Danielewski, Mark Z., Zampanò, and Johnny, Truant. 2000. Pantheon Books.

²shouldnt this be like "it fell by the wayside?" pretty sure the thing falls by the wayside not the person.⁴

³something about women that goes on for three pages

⁴To fall by the wayside can mean to fail to finish an activity. –Ed.

The only reason why I didn't fall by the wayside¹ was because my sibling told me to get it back to them², shoutout to my sibling

Best of luck diving back in! o7³

────────────

¹I somehow managed to read all of house of leaves in ten days, I was locked the fuck in⁴

²Personal communication with [illegible], May 14, 2025.⁵

³anecdote also undoubtedly about women and possibly about a series of events that gets progressively more confusing until you're convinced it never actually happened, but everything is weird enough already that there might be some amount of truth to it. Or maybe there never was any truth in any of this. Maybe I need to not shut myself in my room all day reading and get out of the house. Do some gardening.

⁴To "lock in" was defined by an Urban Dictionary user as "to be extra extra focused on your dream." As with most slang, it most likely stems from AAVE (see knowyourmeme.com). –Ed.

⁵Since the copy I read was one I borrowed from my sibling, they also told me I couldn't annotate it as I would have wished (again, personal communication with [illegible], May 14, 2025). Probably should've gotten some sticky notes like you did, that would've been fun.
