every episode of dark

To follow the gifset I posted, I truly do believe Hannah loved Michael. His presence is the key factor that makes her life take a completely different turn. In Eva's world, where he doesn't go to the past, Hannah continues her obsession with Ulrich to the point where she manages to break Ulrich and Katharina's marriage much earlier than in Adam's world (she is already married and almost 9 months pregnant in 2019, while in Adam's world, the affair is only starting in 2019). The one thing that makes this not happen is Michael's presence: her love for him is enough to make her forget about her obsession with Ulrich, such that her affair with Ulrich only starts after she stops receiving the same affection from Michael. Considering how strong Hannah's obsession with Ulrich is, I do think it's impressive that Michael's mere presence makes Hannah forget about it. And it seems that she was much happier with Michael (at least from what we've seen of her in family photos) than she was married to Ulrich (who was cheating on her).

One could argue that she didn't love Michael, because when Jonas asks her if she misses Michael, she says she misses the idea of him; and when Jonas asks her if she loved Michael, she doesn't answer. But I think the reason for her answer or lack of answer has a lot to do with the fact that she says she "didn't know who he really was". There was always this barrier between them because of Michael's secret, so I guess she always felt like she could never fully love him or be with him like she wanted, like he never let her in, which is an understandable thing for her to feel. And it's no wonder that her obsession with Ulrich returns full force after his death, because she feels like Michael abandoned her, that he was one of the men who "left her".

I know there are more, but I ran out of room. If I missed your favorite couple, please put them in the notes!

Girlbosses in caves with terrible taste in men

Their taste in men was cheater. They were girlbossing so hard for 3 seasons straight that they didn't have time for a decent love interest.

Claudia: Bernd Doppler and Tronte Nielsen

Charlotte: Peter Doppler and Ulrich Nielsen

For some reason, they only dated the worst possible partners from each family. I know we didn't see Bernd Doppler cheating on screen, but I just know that he was a cheater too and I don't need proof.

But there's actually proof. According to Stranger Martha's bunker walls, Greta Doppler died in 1972. Regina was born in 1971. They could have divorced or whatever, but I just don't think Greta would give that man a divorce.

Both Charlotte and Claudia had two questionable love interests, to say the least.

They are among my favorite characters in the series, and I hadn't noticed that coincidence until now. Dark has a lot of parallels between characters, I think most of them are carefully planned because of the great storytelling, and others are harder to tell if they were intentional or not.

My hobby? Oh haha it's nothing really, just making niche memes 4y out of date

My other hobby is making tumblr posts tailor-made to get zero notes

See you later, Romeo

I'm currently rewatching Dark and I don't know who I hate the most, Ulrich or Hannah. They're so insufferable, specially Ulrich. I'm like "my man if you're going to kill a kid at least have the decency of running away, don't just stand there. GO!!"

Should it be concerning that I hate them more than the serial child murderers?

Also for some reason I never remember Noah's name so I just call him "Padre Sarado" wich basically means Hot Priest.

happy christmas to all the survivors in the dark fandom!

part one, two, three, four, six

my experience watching dark (netflix) is literally just saying "hell no" every two seconds bc they've found an elaborate and cosmically painful way to torture their characters or bc im two seconds away from calling cps on jonas bc THAT IS YOUR AUNT DUDE!? (AND A MINOR).

dark altered my brain chemistry and now i want to know the most irrelavant things about a bunch of characters that doesn't even exist in their own series.
