Reflecting again on Armand’s Rashid disguise. Besides it being fucking hilarious and making for a fantastic twist (especially at a point in season 1 when we really need a break from all the downers), it gets Daniel's suspicions up and soft-launches the idea of Armand’s big lie for season 2, which is then pays off spectacularly in the finale.
Daniel: You know, real Rashid, I’m pretty good at my job. A bright young reporter with a point of view. Interviewed a fallen Catholic archbishop, four Enron vice-presidents, and if they’ve got something to hide, they always start with some kind of disguise. Not literally, not some dumb Halloween costume, gloves, contact lenses. (Armand smiles). They tell jokes, they’re charming. And then at some crisis point when I get close, it drops away and I see a flash of truth (Season 2, Episode 1)

s01e01 "Go For Broke" / s01e03 "The Ladder" / s01e10 "We Are Gone"
I keep thinking about the visuals of these three moments...
(screencaps from kissthemgoodbye)
[ID: 3 screenshots from AMC's The Terror. The first is from the end of episode 1 and shows an aerial shot of the two ships frozen in some distance apart. The second is from part-way through the third episode and shows two black ink dots that have been spilled on otherwise blank white paper. The ink spots are some distance apart. The third screenshot is from the end of the final episode, and shows an otherwise empty landscape of ice and sky with the silhouettes of Captain Crozier and a young boy who is sleeping against him. The two figures are touching. End ID]

I'm sorry if this is a confusing question, but what website do you use to get screencaps. I want to get a couple pictures from an episode, but i don't know how to screenshot them! I love your blog btw :)
I actually screenshot them myself with VLC player; it is fairly easy! Then I use Photoshop, correct the coloring the best I can, and smart sharpen it. But two sites that do host AHS screencaps are: KissThemGoodbye; HomeOfTheNutty.

This is THE post. Behold...
The Cell (2000) | Stranger things
The Cell is not a movie but a fever dream, so I'll try to recap it as best as possible (it is a visual masterpiece though)
Why is this movie important, you ask? For one thing, it's on the inspo board for s4. For another, Kate Trefry admitted that the scene where El enters Billy's mind in s3 was inspired by the Cell (Crude Conversations podcast)
Let's get started!
The main character Catherine Deane is a psychologist who works with coma patients and tries to bring them back to reality by entering their minds.
This is the first patient of hers, a boy with schizophrenia who has an evil alter ego inside. His name is EDWARD Baines.
Edward and his 'evil self' in his mind. Catherine is there to help him
There's a ship imagery in his mind. Project Rainbow?
There's even a newspaper clip about Edward who lapsed into coma (sounds familiar?)
Catherine enters her patiens' minds via a special computer technology (Does it remind you of ... Nina?)
There are a lot of triggering images, so I'm not posting them here. Briefly, the main antagonist, Carl Stargher, aka a serial killer with a LOT of issues, likes to drown his victims in a glass cell, bleach them and then use hooks to suspend himself above the dead bodies and watch recorded videos of his victims' death. Yeah, no pictures here.
Police locate his house and want to arrest him but he *surprise* lapses into coma because he also has an unusual schizophrenia like Edward. Catherine has to enter his mind to know the location of his last victim. The interesting part begins!
His mind is of course a bad trip. But we learn a lot ...
Inside his mind he is an innocent boy (there's another him there, more evil and egocentric, this is a metaphor of his lost innocence and duality of self, I guess)
His victims are inside his mind, they never left !!!!!
He was traumatized by his baptism ceremony and his abusive father. He has water trauma, so he drowns his victims in baths and glass cells. At one point, he also mercy-killed a bird (drowned it)
The evil King Self Stargher torments Catherine until she forgets that that world is not real. While she's in Stargher's mindscape, her real body can be harmed as well. She becomes trapped in his twisted mindscape.
The other main character, the detective, helps her to break free. After having learnt about the abuse he was subjected to, Catherine becomes sympathetic to Stargher (his younger self at least)
Just like El is sympathetic to Billy in s3 and like Nancy might be sympathetic to young Henry, not Vecna (depends on what exactly she saw)
Catherine decides to break the rules and pull Stargher into her own mindscape.
But his evil self follows as well. Catherine fights the King Self but killing the King Self kills the Younger Self. So Catherine mercy-kills Stargher in water (like the bird). Beautiful.
What does it all mean?
A LOT!!!
Billy's mindscape? The Cell. Vecna's mindscape? The Cell. Victims inside? The Cell! Nina? Fringe and the Cell. No water in the UD? Water trauma? The Cell? Dying in the mindscape leads to dying in the real world? The Cell!! Humanized antagonists who are actually scared boys? The Cell! Edward Creel? The Cell!
I wonder if Vecna's going to be Catherine'd by El or Will in s5, we'll see
[ST screencaps added (KissThemGoodbye), newspaper screencaps and Edward Creel lore from @aemiron-main posts]

Quote: srwpoetry
Below the cut I've explained some of my choices XD
Sometimes, in the darkness, the lost by finds himself- Charlie Hewitt Jr.
At this point in the movie, he is at a very low point. His town - his home, - is being deserted by others which is going to make living really hard for is family and now this sheriff guy is trying to take away his brother/nephew/family member person. So, basically, he's lost. And he decides to take inspiration from the darkest time in his life - the time he spent in a POW camp, - and use that to serve him and his family now. He finds himself- but it is not a good thing.
Sometimes the witches kindness shows its she who deserves to be Queen- Tiffany Valentine.
Maybe not kindness, haha 😅 But strength (Both personally and in basic character) and power. Tiffany revitalised the Childs Play Franchise totally. I don't think its a secret that by the 3rd one, Chucky's one liners and ability to surprise his victims on screen just was not surprising audiences anymore. They needed something new- then came Tiffany- and the series got 3 more movies and a show that Tiffany is running right now (I haven't seen it but it seems that every time I go on YouTube there's another Tiffany vid everyone is losing their minds over XDD). So basically, Chucky might be the main character in the franchise... but Tiffany is carrying the damn thing and maybe she should be known as the main character. The Queen.
(Of course, I also love Chucky- this just felt perfect for this part in the poem XD )
