#not quite dead blogging

Love all the little Shining references in a season about kids (who later grow up) with psychic abilities.

Did you changed your Marx's design? Can we see more of the precious boy (gender neutral)?

“Marx is, as ever, a nuisance.”

Accidently turned my little moment into a small break! Didn't mean to be so quiet on the blog haha. But I've been watching a show while I wait for the WH update and aaaaaugh. I would post doodles but it'd be so unlike my usual WH stuff.

But Moral Orel has taken up so much of my thoughts. I'll be back to my regular shenanigans soon. Just feels nice to doodle some other stuff for a moment.

The Categories of Final Hallucinations

I noticed 2 types of visions that the characters had in the last episode, specifically in regards to Non

Non was front and center and the visions are about him

Phee: He kept continually seeing Non die in different ways, including some which were new and unseen ways. He's grieving Non's death and also feels guilty for what he's said (the "Get lost and die"). Phee was also the only person who understood that these were visions and Non wasn't real. Even in the 2 years later part (which may or may not be real - tbh I'm thinking of it as a continuation of the hallucinations in the courtyard), Phee sees Non walking into the water.

Tee: Non asks Tee to kill him with a knife on the rooftop because he’s so trapped while working for Tee’s uncle. Tee has been feeling guilty about his actions bringing Non into this world and ultimately being unable to get him out of the mess, so this manifests as a horrific way to help Non, though of course he ends up stabbing White in reality :’(

Tan: Non thanks him, then hangs himself, then thanks him again. Tan just wanted to be a good brother and in these hallucinations, after he has avenged Non, he finally is. His last vision is Non thanking him and walking into the light.

Non may or may not be there but it's mostly about their own situations/consequences/fears rather than Non

Fluke: Non is hardly there except at the end, Fluke's mostly being chased by a cop because he's deathly afraid of ruining his reputation and not getting to become a doctor. Aside: I loved that Fluke gouged his own eyes out, the eyes with which he was constantly witnessing the misbehavior against Non (Top breaking the camera, Jin taking the video) but keeping silent about

Top: He was just being chased by Non through the woods, very little depth because we hardly knew anything about him

White: he never knew Non and so his visions are about his relationship with Tee instead

Jin: I don't think Non even appeared in this but I'd have to double check. It was mostly about what if what Jin did to Non happened to Jin himself with him seeing people taking videos of him in compromising situations, including with Keng

For me, Tee's was the most shocking and horrifying because I was expecting death for Tee (especially after episode 11) but there was the vibe that maybe White is the final girl who will survive. Instead, my mouth fell open as soon as I realized what they were hinting at and I lost my mind as the sequence went on. One of the most unpredictable aspects of this whole show for me and it really is tearing me up, esp after ep 11.

Tan's and Phee's are the most tragic. I didn't cry at all during this show but for a second there, during Tan's visions, I became misty-eyed. (also I've been typing Tan as Non and having to correct... I think NewTan would like that tbh)

I think Jin's was the most disappointing to me because although he knows his actions to release that video were wrong and likely feels guilty, I was hoping Non would at least make an appearance? When Jin apologized to Non the day Non disappeared, Non didn't know what he was apologizing for and said Jin didn't have to apologize. I wanted Jin to apologize to Non while admitting to his wrongdoings, even if it's in hallucinations. Instead, it's Jin being paranoid about what he did to Non being done to him.

[Edited because the Tee/White scene did a whole number on me so I got a bit confused about their visions when I first posted this right after watching the ep]

when it comes to fridging, what is uniquely horrid is not only that on the meta-level the aim is to expand a narrative of another character; it’s also that for that to happen, in-universe, the grief ought to be even more objectifying than it is naturally. it becomes, in a sense, voyeuristic. inappropriate. the image of the dead character is, by necessity, distorted and flattened down. even in real life, studies of bereavement hallucinations show that the dead come to either guide the mourners to peace or taunt them with guilt. in text their voice is that of fears and hopes of others too, but notably, never with a further reflection on their desires that could be at least an afterthought for grievers in real life. and that’s also why the resurrection stories have so much (psychological horror) potential when it comes to these characters – because they come back to the reality in which their pain no longer belongs to themselves, where the trauma of their death has been exploited and their identity contorted. they’re confronted with an idea of themselves that is either demonised or idealised; a saint and a martyr, and find that there’s little space left for their authentic selves. or perhaps, alternatively, they morph into that faux form, and it becomes questionable if they are still the same person they used to be. the problem of post-mortem survival of identity already poses a challenge because of the nature of crossing the line between the spheres of the dead and the living; but what about the dialogical nature of forming an identity? cemeteries belong to the living; they decide which picture will be engraved into the tombstone. and it might be, that even with no corpse underneath, the image will preserve and haunt even the revenants themselves.

Okay, I know I’m four years late to the party, but I finally got around to watching The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Somehow I blinked and I’m ten episodes in, and I’ve got to hand it to the writers: just when it was starting to feel like Sabrina was a little Mary Sue-ish the way she kept winning every battle despite defying the clear restrictions her worlds tried to impose upon her, like she could have it all even though no one before her seemed to be able to make that work, they had her jump in way over her head and fall really, really hard. The last two episodes were just masterful — her very understandable, very human denial that death had to be immutable, that something so wrong could happen in her boyfriend’s life and that she couldn’t do anything to fix it, her hubris thinking she could outsmart the laws of life and death to avoid becoming a murderer, the moment of uncertainty when the audience isn’t so sure that Sabrina really doesn’t have it in her to kill a bully to bring her boyfriend’s brother back, then the beginning of the unrelenting dread when we realize it’s true, she really doesn’t, not for keeps, and that means something is going to go very badly wrong because she didn’t pay the price due for the resurrection. Couple that with the parallel storylines of her friends both converging towards discovering her biggest secret at the moment she is probably feeling the most insecure and anguished about her witch side, and the growing concern and distrust in Ms. Wardwell and whatever she has planned for Sabrina, and it’s just the perfect storm of emotions. So much angst and dread and heartache and empathy all roiling around each other.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first started watching, and I would never have guessed I’d get sucked in this fast. Not to jinx it, but this is the most invested I’ve been in a show in years.

WASSUP CLOWNTOWN MOOTS it’s ya girl and i’m in need of some (weirdly) it-related advice

long story short i have to write a huge essay for my english coursework comparing two texts on a theme of my choice, and obviously i wanna pick it 1986 for one of them bc i’m a freak but i have no idea what other text to choose

i’d like to go on a theme of something like childhood, memory, friendship, facing adversary, or anything similar but i’m not fussy. also preferably it’ll be something deemed ‘classic’ and ‘academic’ to balance out the fact that the exam board hate stephen king (my best idea so far was lord of the flies but teacher said no bc they use it for a diff course)

oh also and it can’t be a child’s book or a translated text

so yeah if you have any recommendations please share!! thanks losers 🎈
