damn twin peaks really was just like. ok this is our dead girl laura palmer and this is her girlfriend donna and their boyfriend james and james & donna’s girlfriend maddy (who is also laura’s cousin). and this is is laura’s OTHER boyfriend bobby and his girlfriend shelly who is married (FUCK LEO JOHNSON) and this is shelly’s boss norma the love theme plays over a lot of their scenes which is interesting to say the least. and here we have norma’s husband hank and her boyfriend ed and ed’s wife nadine. it goes on basically the entire town is somehow romantically linked to each other. and here to investigate laura’s murder we have special agent dale cooper and his girlfriend diane and his ex albert and coop & albert’s boyfriend harry and his girlfriend josie. also present are the strange number of evil old men obsessed with josie, cooper’s new girlfriend annie, and audrey horne who has a thing for him but he won’t date because she’s 18. also gordon cole. who’s the lady with the log? we call her the log lady.

Happy Twin Peaks to all who celebrate!

This is my Wonderful x Strange Gift for @whoslaurapalmer.

This is sort of a mix of some of your requests, I hope that’s ok. I just really wanted some moments of unseen joy for our Laura, despite everything.

Thanks as always to @countdowntotwinpeaks for putting this together all these years. It truly means a lot to me to have participated and shared this strange and wonderful show in this way.

i love maddy so much honestly, such an underrated character that i grew to adore on my rewatch. i didn't think much about her when she was initially introduced as laura's cousin, who drove in to mourn with the family and attend her funeral. but now? i see her as laura's unfortunate second half, the flip side of the same coin. she's constantly compared to her, so much so that she proclaims to leland, "all i did was come to a funeral, and it's like i fell into a dream. it's like people think i'm laura, and i'm not! i'm nothing like laura!" which is true, maddy's rebellious in her youth, giving laura and donna their first cigarettes when they were 12. the cool older cousin who's in high school and giggles at cute boys. she's kind, comforting, giving, and determined. yet, she can't escape the comparisons. she's not her own person when she's in twin peaks, she's relegated to being the shadow of her cousin and it eats away at her. yes, she'll help try to solve laura's murder no matter what, but deep down, she hates the idea of all the eyes that stare at her think she's just her cousin with glasses and deep brown hair, risen from the dead. i think the most disturbing aspect to maddy's story is how she becomes entangled with leland like laura did. he sees the similarities too, and because of this, he latches onto her. she begins to see BOB like laura did, she has weird dreams like laura did, and she dies by the hands of the same man laura did (though not by the same means). her body wrapped in plastic is a deja vu for everyone. laura has died again. but it's not laura, it's maddy ferguson, and she fell into the same cycle of abuse her cousin did. leland palmer did not see maddy as her own autonomous person, instead, just a mirror of his daughter. such a tragic end to a character who did nothing but love her family and sought out the truth. maddy couldn't escape that dream she fell into and leland made sure she wouldn't.

TWIN PEAKS pilot x Ep 14 x Ep 25

In light of the strikingly similar wording of the lines from Ep 14 & Ep 25, it's worth noting how strikingly similar Maddy and Annie are framed in their moments of crisis in Eps 14 & 29 - I won't post the image here because I'm not sure how Tumblr treats more sensitive content, but you can see it on my Twitter account here: https://x.com/fatecolossal/status/1711417177369092612?s=20

maddy ferguson the laura palmer stand-in. sweet girl finding friends in her dead cousin's torrid affairs. filling the vacuum just enough, just slightly, but never quite fitting where they put her. kiss her all you want but she'll never be who you're thinking about.
