I really thought Froderick was going to be kind of normal if not a little bit pathetic but oh no no. Psycho as

I don't like how Froderick talks to Lenore

#the fall of the house of usher #she's like 15-17 and he talks to her like she's like 5? #frederick usher #froderick usher #don't get me wrong i hate him for a lotta reasons but like #i haven't gotten to*that* part yet

[lonelypep]

the single sexiest thing a woman can do is psychologically torture the uber-rich before murdering them in karmically-resonant ways

#the fall of the house of usher #this show (Verna especially) is altering my brain chemistry in unexpected ways #two episodes left! #now i understand why froderick was the second most punchable character in the MF subreddit after beverly keane

[inmydrcams]

I just wonder who did madeline 'I want to be tied to no man' usher marry and got into it enough that the dealbreaker was her refusing to have kids

#ch; m. usher #( ;; we don't vibe with fanon ) #tfothou spoilers #like the way she talks about it being a 'temporary insanity'???? she was into him #also first husband lol #that means girl remarried just cause she was bored #also in this same scene froderick is still alive #but madeline is out there telling tamerlane people should get used to seeing her face in front of the fortunato logo #sorry tam is her fave

Spoilers for the Fall of the House of Usher ahead:

Ok, I saw someone on Reddit ask what the significance was of what Verna put on each of the graves at the end and it’s like… did you watch the show?? Like, at all?? If anything, it was kind of on the nose

Also I did enjoy verna gently placing the little artifacts on each grave, but then just yeeting the Coke baggie onto Froderick’s 😭 like she did not like him

how is ed flynn (midnight mass) and froderick fucking usher (fall of the house of usher) played by the same person?

henry thomas has Range

like RANGE

he's the imperfect father, who wants to do better (ed) , he's the uncle, who'll raise the kids (henry), he's basically death himself (freedom jack) and then no-hinges-no-door insane, shit husband, more of a son than a father frederick usher

i admire henry thomas so much

tw mention of murder/suicide

so i was rewatching fall of the house of usher and like.

i just realised what victorine’s true punishment was. all along i’ve thought her death was pretty mild compared to the other siblings (like she stabbed herself in the heart, not that bad by comparison to perry or froderick or camille)… but her big punishment isn’t the brutality of her death, it’s the death of her image. she’s remembered as someone who committed a murder suicide against her actually good person, surgeon wife. she won’t be remembered as the mother teresa figure she wanted to be known as (as pointed out by verna earlier), she won’t be remembered as the one good usher sibling, she’ll be remembered as a murderer. a wife killer. a bad person. that’s her true punishment.

I’ve got some questions/critiques for The Fall of the House of Usher. I loved it! But some parts had me confused

Everyone who died with Perry. Perry’s death is the only death that takes people with them (except Victorine, but she only took one person down with her). Verna tells all the security guards AND Morrella to leave, which implies she’s sparing the people who are not the offspring of Roderick Usher, but then the sprinklers go off on ALL of the party guests

Furthermore, if the stuff in the tanks was so damn corrosive, why was it only the people who were burned/melted. Like shouldn’t have everything else started to melt, like the bar and the security camera we get a clear shot of, unmelted? This is very pedantic tho

Madeline is going to see death in their old house, she’s taking off her wig, the gloves are about to come off and the facade is ab to drop and show us the real toll that this life has taken on Madeline… only for her to have similarly gorgeous hair underneath? She essentially took off her clip on bangs lol. Like “time to tussle with death let me take off my bangs”

It felt like we got served the most horrific deaths first and almost everything else after was anti climactic in comparison. Perry’s death was a showstopper and it was the first we saw

Verna’s different levels of involvement in each Usher’s death. She gave warnings to Perry, Camille, and Leo, but she didn’t orchestrate what happened, she was just kinda there, an observer in what they had already decided to do. Sort of the same thing with Froderick, he decided to go into the building himself, although it was her who made him switch up the powders and she imitated his voice to give the wrecking ball the all clear. But she was a straight up instigator in Tammy’s and Vic’s deaths by appearing to them as real people in their lives and, arguably, driving them mad. You could even say it’s the madness that killed them

Ah yes, Napoleon usher, the famous playboy, who we see cheat on his loving partner one time. Like that just makes him a douchebag, a playboy would never have someone moving in

I was confused on Roderick’s characterization at some points. In the house with Augustine he seems like a real badass, an industry Titan indeed, especially with the lemon monologue. And then sometimes it would reveal that the powerful speeches he gave to the children and the way he commanded the family was directly lifted from things other powerful men had said to him to make him feel small, and a lot of times I was like “oh this man is just a loser in a nice suit”

Okay but what was Auggie’s long term plan with the informant lie? Like how was that going to pan out? I get he was trying to get them to turn on each other, and it worked, but he said in the courtroom that his informant was how he was going to get it to stick but there was no informant so like ???

Madeline just tried to snap Verna’s neck. And apparently was successful?

This is a little nit picky but you can’t tell me that “the bastards” like Perry and Napoleon and even Victorine who came to Roderick almost grown just so happened to have ridiculous rich people names. No minimum wage worker is naming their child Napoleon. “Can you cover my shift? I have to take little Prospero to the doctor, his tummy hurts.”

You expect me to believe Roderick Usher wrote Annabel Lee? That he was spitting original fire poetry at Auggie as he died?

Henry Thomas in any flanaverse project is wild. Sometimes you get Hugh Crain or Ed Flynn. And then sometimes you get whatever the fuck Froderick Usher is

#i need him gone I NEED HIM SO GONE #morrie i hope and pray you get his ass personally #WTF #i am pushing the panic button repeatedly #i am batting him away with a broom #we get it henry thomas you have the range 😭 #yurtle watches #the fall of the house of usher #the fall of the house of usher spoilers #tfothou #tfothou spoilers #house of usher #house of usher spoilers #henry thomas #flanaverse #frederick usher #froderick usher #hugh crain

[skeleton-in-a-hoodie]

After finishing The Fall of the House of Usher, I kinda want the Ushers and the Crains fight each other.

Mostly cause I think it'd be fun if Hugh Crain beat the shit out of Froderick.

Man who kept it a secret that his wife tried to murder two of his kids/ killed a child so that their children could remember her as she was before the house got to her VS the guy who tortured his wife

Tam pounding like 4 melatonin pills and still not being able to sleep is a mood

#tamerlane usher #she and froderick are my two least favorite characters (affectionate) but tam has one of the prettiest names #anyways #disclaimer: i have NOT taken melatonin in a long time and i wasn't downing as much as she is #i got trazadone and now i actually can sleep but things were r o u g h before that #i too can't fucking sleep ever

[cerayanay]

Not who’s your favorite, but who do you feel the most sorry for? They all were awful in different ways, but some worse than others.

Obviously Lenore is not on here, she would and should be the unanimous winner

in episode 5 of the fall of the house of usher, Vic says that Tamerlane and Frederick (Maderlane and Froderick) are just like Madeline and Roderick. she was mad and probably meant it as an insult but it's actually so real?? Tamerlane was losing sleep for weeks for the launch of her product that could save the family business, and Frederick was busy uhh torturing his wife. at the end, Roderick was obsessed with the board and his company, and Frederick's only goal was following exactly in his father's footsteps. meanwhile, Tamarlane was hoping to prove the family business could be about more than the pills and instead about actual wellness, just like Madeline was planning to completely transform Fortunato into some sort of tech company

#please don't think i'm saying madeline and tamerlane are good people they're not hsgjdkhgdh i just love the parallels #tfothou #the fall of the house of usher

[updatebug]

Hmm, I watched Fall of the House Usher and one thing that I was thinking was that, I mean, comparatively, Leo doesn't really seem to bad? I mean he has the drugs, and he gives them to his siblings but both times he tries to convince them not to take them (or at least not to take too much). He cheats on his boyfriend which we can all agree is a massive douche move but is sort of just your normal asshollary. He genuinely seems to care about his siblings and is cut up when they die, even his business (which we don't see much about) is to do with video games, which seems much less harmful than what the others have going on.

But all of the worst stuff he does, killing the cat, and yes replacing it and lying about it, those are things prompted by Verna, and the hallucinations. Whereas all his siblings, their horrible things predate Verna, she didn't make Prospero plan a blackmail party in a chemical nightmare zone that he didn't check properly. She didn't make Camille go into the lab looking to screw her sister. Sure she stepped in with Froderick but she made a point that that was cause he was an absolute bellend. And without the actual cat murder, (which he hallucinated) Leo really doesn't seem that bad.

So I was thinking about it, and I started thinking that maybe that's the point? Both times when one of the siblings dies, they make a point that Leo is the one dealing with the press. He is meant to be first up for interviews after Prospero, he was the one chosen to announce Camille's death. All the Ushers are monsters. They say that again and again. But Leo's the personable one. He's the one that's meant to get you onside. The just one of the guys. The one who makes you think, yeah, they're billionaires, but he's just like us, he likes video games, he loves Marvel, he's got a boyfriend, and an apartment, he's the one that makes the Ushers seem human and relatable. Even when he is just as involved, and just as culpable in all the terrible things that the family does to keep themselves on top.
