Mike Flanagan makes me feel like the principal in every cartoon where I’m like “damn it, Flanagan, you won’t get away with it this time” but he does and it’s making shows that hurt me on every possible level

Okay but watching the Haunting of Bly Manor and reading the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes the same week did something to my brain. Thinking about Dani saying “they’re opposites really: love and ownership.” Knowing Coriolanus and his end and hearing every one of his “my Lucy Gray” “my girl” ring in my head as the knell of his confusion between love and possession. Of the contrast of Peter and Rebecca with Dani and Jamie, Coriolanus and Lucy Gray with Peeta and Katniss, of the destruction of possession with the salvation of love.

I like to pretend Dani and Jamie will, at the very least, be reunited after the death of them both, instead of the canon which is Dani walking along the place of Bly, forgetting all the details of everything while Jamie will never see her again, no relief even in death.

Watching The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor may have been two of the best decisions I’ve made this year.
Watching them back to back definitely was not.
If anyone needs me, I’ll be crying while doing some deep introspection.

Conversation
Jamie, staring at Dani: She could fix me.
Rebecca: Aren't you supposed to want to fix her?
Jamie: No she's perfect. I, on the other hand, am a mess and she could fix me.

i love when a character is a ghost but in a tragic way instead of a scary way. i love when a character has been dead from the beginning but is still holding on to stay in the narrative. i love when a character could choose to resent the living but ends up loving them instead. i love when a character drives the story but isn’t quite there enough to be at the center of it. i love when the ghosts are the protectors instead of the ones causing the harm. i love when a character is at the heart of the story because depending on where you began it, no matter how you told it, the story is about the ghost who struggled to keep their humanity

I’m an idiot.
Okay, so, I was re-watching Bly because I hate myself, apparently, and I came upon the scene in episode 7 right before Peter and Rebecca try to cross the boundary and leave the property. Rebecca/Peter are walking down the stairs to leave the manor and Jamie stops who she thinks is Rebecca and asks about her conversation with Henry. She’s referring to their conversation earlier where she encouraged Rebecca to talk to Henry about working for him in London. Peter is possessing Rebecca and he has no idea what she may or may not have said to Henry and just kind of brushes it off.
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this scene between rewatches and reaction videos but for whatever reason, it hit me like a ton of bricks this time. THIS IS WHY HE KILLS REBECCA. She has a potential reason to leave Bly, so he kills her. I had always thought it was kind of a vague fear that Peter had--that she might leave. He was always insecure and possessive, so it would make sense that he wouldn’t trust her to stay. The decision always made sense to me from a character perspective, so I never connected it to this conversation between Peter and Jamie. But, no, now that I’ve seen it, it makes so much sense. And poor Rebecca had no idea.
