watching a new mike flanagan really is like this place has everything: a complicated family dynamic, a could’ve been great love dashed by human failing, meditations on life in the face of death, a classic “are these ghosts real or are they just in my head/does it matter if they’re real to you?”, and, perhaps most importantly, a truly spooky house with wild shit going on in the basement.

I noted Mike Flanagan screamed "GAY RIGHTS! BI RIGHTS" on his way out Netflix's door, but he really did stick his head back in to say, "FUCK AI, FUCK BIG PHARMA, AND FUCK THE CAPITALISM THAT PROPS THEM UP" as well didn't he?

i just can't get over the wildflower embroidery on shane's suit with the fact that he designed sara's engagement ring based off of wildflowers... like the thoughtfulness and pure love that went into every detail of this day starting from almost two years ago!!! their love is so so beautiful. 🥹🫶

emotional impermanence is so funny bc like. i forgot that i am relevant in people’s lives. my friend since i was 10 asked me if i would be in her bridal party and when i burst into tears and thanked her for thinking of me and wanting me to be there she was like “why would i not want you there??? we’ve known & loved each other longer then we haven’t.” and i was like oh yeah. i forgot ab the part where you love me too

When he calls you pretty but Hozier said ‘no grave can hold my body down, I’ll crawl home to her’

and ‘there’s nothing sweeter than my baby’ ‘she gives me toothaches just from kissing me’

"I love you. I've loved you from the moment we raced each other in that park. I've loved you at every dance, on every walk, every time we've been together, and every time we've been apart. You do not have to accept it or embrace it or even allow it. Knowing you, you probably will not. But you must know it, in your heart. You must feel it, because I do. I love you."

Eldest daughter burnout

Anthony going from a depressed manwhore to a giddy with love malewife simp is the best development of the season

#actual dialog from this scene. 

The absolute clownery of Anthony Bridgerton judging the young women he considered courting on whether they read etc while later admitting that he only reads account ledgers...

I love a self-aware dumbass.

"SOMEBODY has to broaden my children's horizons and it won't be ME."

—Anthony, probably

Kate would've wanted nothing less

Tbh same

okay but when he's a bit taller than you and he stands next to you and puts his hands across your shoulder and maybe gives you a little rub on the arm. Makes me go feral

"do it harder"

One of my favorite genres of male character probably has to be the guy who, upon meeting a woman who can and does kick his ass, thinks “she kicked my ass, the only logical course of action for me now is to marry her.”
