uh oh it’s npmd theory time with grey who didn’t get enough sleep last night ~~
so
a post earlier got me thinking
it talked about how npmd had too neat an ending and it didn’t make sense that ruth and richie, being pete’s best friends, weren’t even mentioned after their deaths and there was no mourning for them
we all know how miss holloway made a deal with the lords in black to receive immortality in exchange for everyone who gets close to her forgetting any part of her story they learn
my theory is that the lords in black placed the same curse upon the town of hatchetfield
if anyone is killed by the lords in black (or dies as some part of their schemes) their loved ones immediately forget them
it would explain how nobody really cared when max went missing
‘it’s hatchetfield. people go missing every day’ because they are immediately forgotten about
now you could argue that tom didn’t forget jane when she died and her soul was transferred into their car via a spell from the black book - and maybe that’s because that was unplanned on the lords’ part
maybe they didn’t mean for it to happen so their forgetfulness spell didn’t work
(whether or not jane dies in every timeline remains to be seen, the langs have stated it’s not one of those fixed points that has to happen, like emma and paul meeting or ted dying)
this theory also brings back the ever-intriguing point i can’t stop thinking about: maybe the events of npmd were fabricated by the lords in black
maybe they wanted all of what happened to happen
they were pulling the strings from the beginning
they knew grace would eventually be the hero, and only wanted steph to kill pete for their own enjoyment
npmd felt like it ended on a huge cliffhanger, for me anyway
there are a lot of unanswered questions and something about this story feels unfinished

we should talk more about cities that are vampires. cities that are cold and wet and sink into your bones and stay there. cities that are hungry and want to live. dead cities that dont know they're dead and suck the life force of their people to maintain the delusion. cities with harbors that are actually mouths; one-way entries. cities that are devastatingly lonely and see consumption as love

Listen, you should never film strangers in public without their consent, but I swear there need to be fines or something for people who do that shit in some spaces. For example: I had to go to the ER last night, and some jerk filmed a woman who just came in and was clearly having an asthma attack. She immediately got to go back, and he was unhappy about that. Believe me, I get that it sucks having to wait when you're in pain, but you don't get to pick who deserves care when. The medical system in the US is a nightmare, and the ER could be the worst moment of someone's life. No one deserves to be recorded because some jack ass believes someone doesn't look like they need care.
This is fine to reblog. People who film strangers should be shamed if nothing else.

"Disabled people should be allowed to be as independent as we can be" and "disabled people should not be pressured to be hyper-independent in order to not wind up in nursing homes against our will" are two thoughts that can, and should, exist at the same time.
