Hi, I just discovered you and you're an excellent writer. I noticed Myrtle Snow is blank and she's my fixation with AHS Coven. Could I request her with the prompts 17 "why are we hiding?" & 22 "you're here with me"?

HAHAHAHAHA MYRTLE REQUESTS YAY!

Honestly, anon, thanks for the request and I'm so glad that you enjoyed my writing, I appreciate this so so so much, thank you!

Myrtle is one of my favorite characters as well, and I was so excited to write something about her.

Okay, so, this is actually a funny oneshot, so, hope you don't mind!

Enjoy!

Got any requests? Just send me an ask! If you want to follow, my masterlist is pinned on the blog!

---------------------------------

17. "why are we hiding?" 22. "you're here with me."

Something was wrong and you knew it.

For this reason, you called on one of the most knowledgeable witches of the Robichaux Academy clan to help you unravel the mysteries behind the Supreme's plans, Fiona Goode.

But Myrtle was very confused by your behavior and, despite her innate cleverness, most of the time, she forgot about the pleasures of a teenager in listening to conversations behind the door.

"Why are we hiding, exactly?", she asked, her voice very low as you tried to spy on Fiona talking to Marie Laveau. You were strategically under her bed - your idea, of course - and you expected to hear everything on that one expedition.

"Isn't it obvious? I don't want that crazy woman to find me. She has a voodoo queen on her side, we can't just jump into the middle of the conversation like it's nothing!"

Myrtle rolled her eyes. "Why do I have the feeling this isn't going to work, (Y\N)?"

"Because you're paranoid and you've probably never done this in your life," you replied, trying to keep your voice to a whisper. "Come on, Myrtle, have some fun!"

"For your information, humble young lady, I'm having fun," she whispered. "But it's because I know Fiona and know that she has no limits that I'm sure we're either going to end up screwed, or we're going to end up screwed."

It was your turn to roll your eyes. You laughed and continued spying, poking your head slightly out of the sheet under the bed and turning to Myrtle afterward. "You're here with me, there's no way it can go wrong."

"I don't know if that was supposed to sound romantic or not, my dear, but it didn't work."

You scoffed. "Shut up, Myrtle! Do you want us to be found out? Also, if everything goes well, I promise I'll buy you an ice cream of your choice, okay?"

If there was one thing Myrtle didn't need to know, it was that you had a crush on her. First, it was an embarrassing thing, which you prayed that you would wake up the next morning regretting, precisely because you knew that many obvious factors prevented you from being together. And like, all your colleagues who knew you had a crush on the Council witch were on your case because of it, making fun of the situation. It was embarrassing enough that you wanted to find a spell that would turn you into an ostrich, only to stick your head in the ground and never come out again.

And of course, a less rational part of you insisted that the spying situation was just an omen for you and Myrtle to spend some time together without you needing to confess to her.

Regardless of what it was, it was embarrassing all the same.

"Are you paying attention, (Y\N)?", Myrtle brought you out of your reverie. "Fiona just said she feels ready to reveal her big plan to Miss Laveau."

You squinted your eyes and strained your ears to try to hear. And, as you expected, the revelation of Fiona's dirty plans was anything but peaceful: eliminating the clan one by one, to keep her in power. Eliminate the weakest ones, to bring her magic back. So that she could sell her soul and guarantee eternal life as Supreme.

"Oh no, but that's too much! That's enough!"

You realized too late that Myrtle had gone a little overboard and ruined your plans - your plans, to be more precise, because she only really helped with the execution.

"Myrtle, no!"

You didn't even have time to formulate a plan B. When you least expected it, Fiona's hands discovered you from under the bed and she had that horrible look on her face that reminded you of a very poisonous snake.

"Ah, but look what we have here…", she muttered, turning to Marie only to laugh in disdain. "… two curious rats sticking their noses where they weren't called!"

"Fiona, we…"

"No, no explanations, (Y\N), I've seen enough. Out, you two! Now!"

You came out from under the bed like lightning, pulling Myrtle's hand with you quickly, but just in time to see Fiona and her staring at each other as if they were going to hit each other at any moment. As soon as you passed, Fiona locked the bedroom door, using magic.

"I told you it wouldn't work!" Myrtle scolded, stamping her feet.

"Huh, and who said it didn't work? We discovered the witch's plan, now we just need to stop her."

"That was very immature of you, (Y\N). Definitely immature!"

You thought it was funny that she tried to seem really mad at you, even though you knew it was all just typical Myrtle Snow theater.

“Oh come on, don’t pretend like you didn’t love that!”, you laughed. "Come on, the plan worked, or at least half of it worked. But our ice cream is still standing, right?"

"As long as it's not an infamous attempt or a plan of yours to ask me out, (Y\N), yes, it's still standing."

You laughed again, biting your cheek to hide your smile. It definitely wasn't a plan to ask her out…

Joker’s Odyssey

“Joker’s Odyssey” (A Film Review) by Adam Wękarski

“Joker” is one of the most psychologically complex & artistically provocative films ever made. Todd Phillips directs his best film to date (commonly known for his work in directing comedies) in a staggering contrast to his typical work. This film is undoubtedly Phillips’ masterpiece. This film takes a gigantic leap forward in the direction that Christopher Nolan & Heath Ledger’s Joker had initiated 11 years ago in “The Dark Knight.” This movie is an enigmatic tragicomedy that pulls no punches.

Joaquin Phoenix deserves an oscar for his performance as the lead character. Count on Joaquin-frikkin’-Phoenix to be the only other actor who could not only meet Heath Ledger’s ground-breaking performance, but challenge it with a bold & fearless flair. This is the best picture of the year and absolutely deserves an oscar for directing, writing & cinematography.

Phoenix plays Joker a.k.a “Arthur Fleck”, a struggling Street-Performer/Comedian/your all-around Party-Clown who lives in a bleak and morally-crumbling fictional Gotham City, USA (set in 1981). Highly reminiscent of New York City in the late ‘70s/early ‘80s (apparently where the director Todd Phillips grew up), there is an overwhelmingly oppressive structural presence of the city throughout the entire film (with some of the most breath-taking wide shots) - which has the ability to create a legitimate sense of isolation (and claustrophobia).

Immediately into the story, we know that Fleck clearly has some form of severe emotional instability (while struggling in a post-vaudevillian world which is a creaky ol’ memory fading of a bygone era of performers & entertainers). Despite the overwhelming struggle that is Arthur’s existence - Arthur trudges on, beaten down, and continues dancing his dance and putting on a show for everyone & no one. The only times that Arthur Fleck appears to have any form of happiness is when he is performing & dancing as “Carnival” The Clown working for an entertainment agency known as “Ha Ha’s”, and when he is at home spending time with his mother. Arthur Fleck’s journey throughout the story is not only about his life’s struggle, but his eventual demise and fall from grace.

While Arthur climbs the seemingly infinite stairway each day in his life, the weight of his problems become clearly visible on his shoulders - as he resembles the factory workers in Fritz Lang’s “Metropolis” striving upwards with futility. Fleck has literally been taking a beating in his life, and he does eventually transform (due to a tremendously slow-burning tension that carries throughout the entirety of the film) into the larger-than-life villain at the end of the story (which is the crucial moment Joker truly becomes a symbolic figure of anarchy).

Technically-speaking - this film is shot perfectly (with a heavy tone reminiscent of a graphic novel). From larger-than-life exterior wide shots that truly showcase just how small Fleck is in the grand scheme of the city to extremely tight interior shots that allow access to intimate moments with one of the most twisted & insane characters of all time (perfectly portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix). The story, an original, was written by Todd Phillips & Scott Silver who had made the conscious effort to bring an entirely fresh take on one of the most celebrated (and revered) characters of the comic book world (and now film world) to the big screen. In terms of the story - it is the best origin story of the Joker by far, successfully achieving a level of sophisticated storytelling to the point that it actually transcends the genre and becomes a truly remarkable artistic effort of genius that has cinematic elements similar to the likes of Kubrick, Scorsese & Malick (particularly in terms of artistic bravado).

Speaking of Scorsese, “Joker” has the uncanny ability of concealing it’s influences while simultaneously paying homage and informal tribute (I suppose more of an artistic ‘tip of the hat’ to a plethora of cinematic influences). There are plenty of hints & clues for any familiar film-lover (especially a few obvious nods to Heath Ledger’s Joker, although more of a precursor of where that Joker could have possibly originated). For instance, anyone who has seen “Taxi Driver” will automatically draw parallels between the slow, yet inevitable, unwinding & downward spiral of the protagonist (of whom lives in a city that is slowly unraveling at the sociological seams, so-to-speak - which, in turn, is a reflection of the mental stability of the main character as he continues his journey) - Especially when Zazie Beetz’s “Sophie Dumond” encounters Fleck in an elevator and points her fingers towards the side of her head, which Fleck later does to himself (an obvious nod to De Niro’s character “Travis Bickle” in “Taxi Driver”).

Robert De Niro (one of the finest actors of all time) even appears in the film as a very important character by the name of “Murray Franklin” of whom has his own live late-night television talk show. Arthur Fleck is a huge fan of the Murray Franklin show and even fantasizes about being on the show and interacting with Murray Franklin on live television for the whole world to see. Arthur Fleck is obviously obsessed with the notion of becoming famous and celebrated and adored - something he certainly is not in his real everyday life. De Niro’s performance of Murray Franklin is an ironic nod (and inversion) of his performance as “Rupert Pupkin” from Scorsese’s “The King of Comedy” in which De Niro had played the overtly-unrealistic stalker of a late-night TV personality (played by Jerry Lewis) - which is, of course, a brilliant full circle moment for De Niro now playing the big shot entertainer.

Arthur Fleck’s obsession with Murray Franklin is one of many story arcs within the psychologically-labyrinthian tale of how the Joker was born. While portraying Fleck, Joaquin Phoenix has a look reminiscent of the killer “Scorpio” in “Dirty Harry” (played frighteningly by one Andrew Robinson) with the 1970s-friendly shaggy-locks and brown slacks and large-collared attire. This entire film is a herculean psychological character study on Joker and it’s without saying that this is in no way a family-friendly version of the character. The Joker kills three men on a subway in self-defense (after the three Wallstreet men harass a woman and then physically attack Joker). This film lives and breathes in the proverbial gray area of right & wrong and good & bad (which is a part of it’s terrifying genius).

The film’s music also appears as it’s own character (in a way) throughout the film - acting as a spiritual extension of Joker’s mental & emotional state (as Joker appears to have music consistently flowing from within and exuding outwards with each crucial moment that happens in the story). After Fleck’s first murder in the subway, he runs and hides in a public restroom and begins to dance to his own symphony of psychosis as he stares into his reflection (as Joker; his split personality; his other half, alter ego, etc.). The musical score is just as unsettling & schizophrenic as the Joker, and the film perfectly embodies all of the most defining attributes of what makes Joker so very fascinating (and frightening).

Joaquin Phoenix’s powerhouse performance stands alone, mighty on it’s own two feet, while Todd Phillip’s care for the character and his dedication to present the character as a real human being is unmatched in it’s sophistication & artistic bravery (with exception of perhaps the Nolan trilogy - God, if only this version of Joker was in the third installment for The Dark Knight trilogy - could you imagine Joaquin Phoenix opposite Christian Bale? - OH My - or perhaps even see where this Joker storyline would dare venture if given the opportunity for more exploration). Joaquin Phoenix had allegedly stated that in researching psychological disorders and real-life behaviors that people actually have - he did not want anyone who is educated in the field of study to be able to pin-point Joker’s psychological “condition” or “symptoms.” Phoenix successfully accomplishes such a feat as Fleck/Joker due to the character’s ever-changing (and constantly-developing) madness amidst his life in this origin story.

This film is a very, very intense tragedy whose psychological depth goes well beyond the screen.

Arthur Fleck/Joker is a care-taker of his own mother, Penny Fleck (played very well by Frances Conroy). Penny begins the story as a seemingly sweet-hearted mother who is ill and in need of some form of help or assistance - of which Arthur does his best in providing (as her only family). As the film progresses, we find that Penny had been a former employee working on the estate of one Thomas Wayne (played very well by Brett Cullen) and she expresses her assurance to Arthur that Mr. Wayne wouldn’t allow them to live in their current conditions had he been aware of their struggle.

Arthur loves his mother very dearly (in a Norman Bates ”Psycho” kinda way), and despite his efforts to nurse her - her condition gets worse, and then the story truly takes a dramatic left turn into an unsettling reveal of the hidden, murky depths of not only the Joker’s life, but his overall psyche. Specifically, when Arthur discovers the truth about his life and the harsh trauma he had experienced as an adopted child with a psychotic mother, who carelessly stood by while Arthur was severely abused (while also discovering he had been an abandoned orphan before Penny adopted him) and would apathetically allow the abuse to thrive.

Arthur Fleck’s psychological abyss is interwoven within Arkham State Hospital (a mental institution primarily focused on abnormal psychology and psychiatric rehabilitation). The emotional and mental state of Arthur is at the forefront of the film, as Arthur frequently discusses his mental & emotional well-being with a social worker (played very well by Sharon Washington), who eventually loses her job as well as her department due to government cutbacks and lack of funding. The loss of all of his medication gives Arthur’s unusual condition(s) of uncontrollable laughter at any given time (which comes handy with a card to address anyone of said condition) a significantly more off-putting presence. This is especially true due to the reality that his unique condition merely scratches the surface of what is looming underneath (which appears to be an eclectic & deadly combination of a potential variety of psychological disorders including: post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, paranoia, delusional disorder, manic depression, schizophrenia, in addition to possibly having some other forms of personality disorders and/or possibly even a form of undiagnosed autism).

In one of the most iconic moments in cinema, the Joker dances down that same infinite stairway as before (with a Ray-Bolger-like air of arrogance), now in full Joker fashion, experiencing a complete liberation of the weight he once carried on his shoulders as Arthur Fleck. This is a moment that not only represents Joker’s infinite dance of madness, but also symbolizes Arthur Fleck’s tragic descent into hell.

This film is more disturbing than it is violent. What’s so disturbing is that this is the most realistic depiction of the Joker and how a human being could become a product of one’s environment (in the worst way). I think this film has successfully struck a chord with contemporary society (worldwide), despite the film being a complete fictional story based off of a comic book character, set in another time - there is a significantly realistic undercurrent of honesty shouting loudly in the film in a tone very similar to Howard Beale’s epiphany in Sidney Lumet’s astounding masterpiece “Network”(1976); albeit a bit more deranged (especially once Joker actually goes on live television and scolds Murray Franklin regarding his continual debasement of Arthur Fleck for the sake of entertainment). Joker speaks openly on live television about how he had been the one who murdered the three Wallstreet men in the subway. It is at this point in the journey that Joker is viciously taunting not only the host Murray, but also expressing the cold & harsh reality of the overall system being an institutionalized failure. The Joker has no political agendas, nor financial, or even ambitions within show business anymore after the onslaught of life experiences that have transformed him and tragically removed his innocence.

Joker was once a man who genuinely wanted to bring joy & laughter to the world and perhaps if someone was there to hand him a book or a guitar instead of a gun in those crucial “in-between” moments in life, or if he had someone in his life who actually loved & cared for him and would be there for him - maybe it could have all been prevented. If Arthur Fleck had positive reinforcement in his life, and perhaps Faith, maybe he would have turned his frustration into inspiration rather than a maniacal form of self-destruction. The same could be said about any one individual in our very own reality (especially considering the highly unusual rate of violent, self-destructive behavior in America as we know it).

It is after the Murray Franklin Massacre that the Joker is truly “reborn” as he has officially become an abstract figurehead for the downtrodden of society. The same part of society which has had enough of the ugly side of the system and the overall tragedy of humanity’s indifference & ignorance towards the ones who struggle with the weight of the system on their shoulders (while looking up at the ones who have been riding upon humanity’s shoulders for far too long). Joker’s “birth” comes from a symbolic “death” so-to-say of Arthur Fleck as he’s in a severe car accident and carried out by his followers and attains a distinct level of martyrdom. Joker’s tragic destiny is to reign in hell rather than serve in heaven (which is the symbolic dilemma of humanity; hence the inception of Batman in the film, as a young Bruce Wayne’s parents are murdered due to the chaos Joker has sparked - a moment that successfully calls back to Tim Burton’s “Batman” flashback with the movie theater & flying pearl necklace and all).

“Joker” is a highly visceral artistic statement that has a brutally honest hidden social message: society must not fail the very humanity that fulfills it. The madness of one can spark the madness of many - and in any case - we may need to create a better way to heal our sick & our poor, and we should consider better methods to mend the broken (in mind, body, and spirit) rather than feed into chaos and self-undoing (as individuals and as a whole). If we are capable to view such a mirrored fantasy which has created such a social controversy due to it’s violently philosophical conclusion - are we also capable of improving ourselves, as a society, for the betterment of our very own collective reality?

I give “Joker” a Perfect 10 out of 10.

Joaquin Phoenix gives an awe-inspiring performance as the most celebrated comic book villain of all time. Todd Phillips has successfully captured lightning in a bottle with “Joker” - A fascinating, brilliant, and highly disturbing character study that places a focus not only on the madness of one individual, but the inherent madness & trivialization of western civilization in modern times.

Weirdly enough, I’ve watched American Horror Story since I was twelve & I only today watched the entirety of Asylum for the first time. I used to steal the DVD’s from my dad’s office because I obviously was not allowed to watch AHS when I was twelve, but did anyway. I always wanted to watch it but it’s just something that never really forced its way into becoming a priority for me. Honestly though, I can understand why people said that I was missing out because unholy fuck.

It’s genuinely well written, it’s some of the best writing they’ve ever done.

Jessica Lange & Sarah Paulson are always amazing but the characters they played were insanely good & surprisingly Zachery Quinto was brilliant too?!?!

Lana was a character that I felt like you really felt for, someone who you honest to god wanted to survive like when Frances Conroy’s character showed up, I was like no don’t die, you’ve gotten so far! I knew she wasn’t dead because of Roanoke but damn she came close.

I wasn’t really sure what to think of Sister Jude at first, but I grew to really appreciate her character. Constance Langdon & Fiona Goode will always be my favourite Jessica Lange American Horror Story characters but I really got pulled into Jude’s story.

Zachery Quinto genuinely fucking scared me. I guessed there was something off about him from day one I legit said it to @gently-fading-grace & I was right, because he was the only ‘nice guy’ there & I just knew that was gonna end badly but whilst my expectations for him were not promising I wasn’t expecting that intensity. I always liked his character in Murder House but dear fucking god what even was his character in Asylum, so well written but fucking YIKES.

What I did like about this season the most was how unsettled by it I was. I mean, it’s gross, it’s disgusting but not in a fake horror way. It is scary but it’s a ‘the evil of human’s scary’ it’s genuinely horrifying & so fucking intense because asylums like that did exist & shit like that most likely did happen, especially all the stuff about the n***’s & the holocaust. There were many times where I found it really uncomfortable to watch because of the content & some of the characters like Dr. A**** honestly I thought he was somehow more terrifying than Bloody Face. It was deeply uncomfortable but something that I thought was necessary to watch because it showed & explored the darkest parts of humanity. It was scary because it felt almost real.

Honestly what surprised me the most was how much I fell in love with Kit Walker. I know this is an unpopular opinion & I think if @gently-fading-grace could kill me for this then she would, but I never really get the hype around Evan’s characters. Don’t get me wrong, I do like Evan, I absolutely adore Rory in Roanoke, Mr. Gallivant & Kai fucking Anderson holy shit what a well written character, but other than that? I kinda forget Mr. March & Jimmy because I don’t particularly like those seasons that much, Kyle is just kinda there & I try not to think about his character in the first season, but Kit? Kit is everything. He was a sweetheart that I genuinely felt for & his friendship with Lana was so well written.

The only things that fell flat for me were Grace & the fucking aliens. Idk what it was about the aliens but it just felt a bit too weird? It could’ve done without them in my opinion.

Frances Conroy appearing as the angel of death was something so beautiful her characters are always so memorable.

Also, the fucking Name Game 👌👌👌👌 there’s a reason why I go feral to that when it comes up on my shuffle & I’ve finally gotten to see it in context.

Asylum: 10/10 probably in my top five.

I went to see Joker at the cinema last night, the first time I’ve been to the cinema in a few years and I was not disappointed! It was EPIC! <3

I’ve read apparently people have walked out of screenings as it’s too violent etc but no one walked out of the screening I was in. If you think that’s violent try watching some other far more violent movies such as Fight Club (my favourite), American Psycho (another favourite) and Se7en! There’s a ton of much more violent movies than this I can assure you. Especially a lot from the 80′s and 90′s. Wasn’t Death Wish a notable revenge tale that was very violent? I wonder what movies people watch these days lol.

I adored this movie. It was probably even better than I expected.

Seeing the poor downtrodden Arthur Fleck go through life with mental illness and caring for his mother, getting fired and being struck off by society.

Simply put, he ended up rejected by society and then chose to take his revenge on said society.

If he really was Thomas Wayne’s son then he could have had life so much better. If his mother was telling the truth and he was his child and not adopted, I’m not sure. But for the Wayne’s a scandal such as that probably would have to be covered up so it is plausible he was. Although he looks around the same age as Thomas.

I did go out to the loo when his mother went in the hospital but don’t think I missed anything. That’s the only reason I saw people leave, to go to the loo and return lol. I didn’t expect him to smother her later though but wow.

I liked when he danced on the stairs and I did not realise it was a Gary Glitter song which was the other people left. I don’t even know his songs and I am surprised so many people would these days :/ and I know a lot of music compared to some.

But the scene was just great and immediately you noticed when he turned into Joker he got a lot more swag. He was immediately more confident and it showed. He completely changed, he snapped and became someone totally different from before. You could just see it in the way he walked and talked.

It was kinda crazy that he killed Robert De Niro on the set of his show in front of a live audience but it wasn’t the craziest thing I’ve ever seen in cinema history tbh. It was tame compared to some things. Then he shot him again and someone else.

He also killed his one mate who came around to his house who said the police had come talking to them and he clearly wonder if he’d killed the Wall Street guys and was right but he let the other one guy as he was the only one who was ever nice to him.

Of course he got arrested after the TV shooting but then the riots on the streets by all the clowns started and someone drove a van in to the cop car and then they got their savior out. He lived to see another day.

Also, during the riots which did make me wonder ... is Arthur the real Joker? As yes, there is a back story where he is a failed comedian.

But then, another guy killed Thomas and Martha Wayne ... a robber. Which is another back story of Joker as in some he killed them as a petty crook. So, could that be the real Joker? Inspired by this previous one in Arthur Fleck? It really made me wonder.

I know a lot about Batman and Joker because they are my favourites and I’ve read a lot of the graphic novels and a Batman Encyclopedia too which tells you everything. Not sure where it is now though.

Joaquin Phoenix was absolutely phenomenal as Arthur Fleck and Joker though. He really did embody him, the entire spirit of both characters especially Joker. He had the manic state of Joker and obviously the clothes and the murder vibes which he did do.

Robert De Niro, who is a great and unexpected (in my eyes) choice for Murray Franklin was also amazing.

Frances Conroy was a great choice for his mother.

Brett Cullen was good as Thomas Wayne.

Not gonna lie, my immediate thought when I saw Shea Whigham as a cop again was “dude is seriously type cast” lol. He’s so good too but also is good at playing cops lol.

I didn’t even recognise Marc Maron at first then did and was like “oh it’s Marc Maron” - I knew he was meant to be in it though. I wish they’d finished showing his TV show here, I still listen to his podcast sometimes. He’s hilarious.

I really do hope they make a sequel because it was such an awesome movie and loved Joaquin Phoenix as Joker! He’s such an amazing actor and an inspired choice for the role. Not someone I ever dreamt would play Joker but I would say is easily my favourite portrayal of him! He is the definitive Joker I think now <3
