Dread by the Decade: Chloe, Love is Calling You

👻 You can support or commission me on Ko-Fi! ❤️

Year: 1934 Genre: Occult Rating: UR (Recommended: PG-13) Country: USA Language: English Runtime: 1 hour 2 minutes

Director: Marshall Neilan Cinematographer: Mack Stengler Editors: Joseph Josephson, Helene Turner Composer: George Henninger Writer: Marshall Neilan Cast: Olive Borden, Reed Howes, Molly O'Day, Philip Ober, Georgette Harvey

Plot: The biracial daughter of a voodoo priestess returns home to exact revenge on a plantation owner.

Review: This film is a glimpse into the true evil of 1930s American racism and the manner in which Hollywood kept it alive. It is irredeemable, with every inch of it having been infected by antiblackness.

Overall Rating: 0/5

Story: 0/5 - Though it is boring and barely coherent, its biggest sin is that it came from a place of pure hatred. It was clearly designed to reinforce the evil idea that white plantation owners were noble heroes and black people were lazy, stupid, evil predators.

Performances: 1.5/5 - Some performances are fine but generic, some are bad, and some are so offensive it's hard to watch.

Cinematography: 2.5/5 - Almost entirely composed of boring medium and long shots.

Editing: 1.5/5 - Stilted and often abrupt.

Music: 2/5 - Generic.

Sets: 2.5/5 - It's all very cheap but some are sufficient enough.

Costumes, Hair, & Make-Up: 2/5 - Unmemorable costumes that don't change.

Trigger Warnings:

The entire story is propaganda designed to reinforce the idea that black people are dangerous and stupid, Voodoo is murderous devil worship, white southerners are pure heroes, and ending slavery was bad

A biracial lead character and a black character are both played by white actors--there isn't blackface make-up, but they are still performing blackface

Mild violence

Attempted rape (not graphic)

Real animal cruelty and murder (a snake is bludgeoned to death, an alligator is wrestled)

💔 If you had to remove one major character from the series who would you choose?

(For secret Shanghai obvi)

Oh this is the worst question whhyy. And this is so hard because I think they're all very important to the books as a whole. Ahhh.

Okay I don't think you can take away Juliette. Unless you wanted to completely rewrite TVD to be entirely centric around the other characters. Which I don't think works at all for a number of reasons. So definitely not Juliette. TVD is very much her book.

I don't think you could take away Roma because the Scarlets and White Flowers in the main cast couldn't connect without him and Juliet's relationship. And it's also a Romeo and Juliet retelling. So no.

You could maybe get away with getting rid of Benedikt or Marshall since they're a subplot. But I think a lot would have to change for that. And it would definitely majorly affect the story, especially Roma's motivations in OVE. And the characterization and plotline of whichever one of them you didn't get rid of.

I really don't like the idea of taking Rosalind out of TVD specifically because she and Tyler are both very good foils to Juliette. So no.

In terms of TVD, Celia is probably one of the best answers since she isn't based on a character in Romeo and Juliet. And I think Celia could technically maybe be written out of TVD without super major changes to the plot. But it would take away a lot, and think it's pretty necessary that the pov of a character who joins the communists is incorporated. And she is based on a character from As You Like It.

Alisa could also be written out maybe since she doesn't have a ton of agency in TVD, and Roma's motivations would mostly just have to change at certain points. Which would likely result in changes to Roma's character, but they wouldn't necessarily be super major depending on how it's written. She's also not based on a character from R&J or AYLI, so she might technically be the best option which I dislike.

I don't think think you can have FLF without Orion without major plot changes and likely huge shifts in the characterization and character development of the rest of the cast. So no.

I think Oliver could be written out. Which would suck. It would change the Hong family issues a bit. But it isn't absolutely inconceivable. And it would take away the olivercelia plot which would suck because I love them and also for thematic reasons. But it's not inconceivable. It would probably be a worse ayli adaptation without him though.

Celia could also maybe be written out of flf which would suck because it would take away her and Rosalind's relationship. I think Oliver would have a bigger role then which would be. Interesting. I don't love the idea of taking away Celia in general because her character arc spans all four books though.

I think flf without Silas would be very interesting. It would definitely vastly change the plot of fhh. And the characterization of Phoebe and Orion. But I'm kind of interested in how everything might play out without him. It would definitely be interesting to see how Phoebe's plotline would progress and how they would've gotten Orion back in fhh. I think this could've maybe put more focus on Orion and Oliver's relationship, and Oliver could have potentially given himself up for Orion in FHH. Which is . Interesting.

Getting rid of Phoebe would obviously get rid of the whole Priest plotline which I don't love. It would probably put more focus on Orion and Silas's friendship and the Oliver Orion drama which is interesting. But also I think she is necessary as Rosalind's foil. And she's also just such a uniquely interesting character to me. So no.

And I think flf is possible without Alisa since her plotline (and olivercelia's plotline) is isolated enough from the other plotlines that it could technically be removed without huge amounts of adjustment to the original story. But also her grief for Roma is pretty important thematically I think. So I don't love the idea of getting rid of her, but it's not unthinkable in terms of plot. And she also isn't based on a character from ayli.

So overall in terms of tvd and flf being adaptations, it would technically make the most sense to cut out Alisa. I think it would be possible to cut Celia without cataclysmic alterations to the plot. I think Oliver could technically also be cut, but I also think he's more important than he seems despite his lack of pov so ehhh. So I would pick one the three of them, most likely Alisa or Celia, if my goal is to keep the books as similar to how they are now as possible.

However.

If my goal is to change things in an interesting way I would get rid of Silas. I think he's the only character that you could get rid off whose absence would force a greater presence from some of the other characters. I would be very interested to see how this would affect Phoebe's arc. I think she and/or Oliver could have ended up dying in fhh without him. Or maybe even Orion.

Meeting the Green Party leader was so good. She was just so incredibly pissed about everything lol

Honestly a huge breath of fresh air hearing a politician who’s also a queer woman in her late 20’s spouting angrily about how it would literally be cheaper to pay everyone, working or not, a living wage than to let poverty and homelessness continue. One of her main policies which unfortunately got rejected by the Labour party is a rental warrant of fitness. Landlord would be held to the sane standards as car owners. Which, let’s face it, should have been a thing worldwide already.

#carrie calls #nzpol #chloe swarbrick I love you

[chloelouygo]

can i gently ask for a little bit of info about your ocs? what are they like? :3

AAAA the gentle ask, you know how to get to me 😌💜 Kayden (they/he, bi, grey eyes, teal hair, 26 y/o) was the first character I started to flesh out in my head, they've all been through so many iterations in my mind but they were the first one who came to me this time around ig?? They're a complete golden retriever, a happy go lucky lil baby, a little menace, and such good fun to be around! They're bilingual (French/English), a complete slut (affectionate-) and unironically love girlypop from the mid 2000s. A vegan, anti-capitalist punk who goes out every night, but can't sleep alone. Loves classic literature and is definitely smarter than he acts sometimes. Very much in love with Zabeth, though he'd not admit it. 💙 Playlist

Alix (he/him, bi, blue-green eyes, red hair 26 y/o) is Kayden's best friend, the pair met at uni and quickly realised they balanced eachother out well. He's a black-cat, sterotypical "friend's-older-brother-is-a-dealer" type guy, looks so grumpy but would do anything for his sister and bestie, and will absolutely beat you up if you look at him wrong. But he's a sweetie underneath❤❤ Inseparable from Zabeth, was a father-figure to her growing up as their parents weren't around, and cherishes her dearly. Is an atrocious cook, swears in every sentence, and is probably high at any given moment. Playlist

Zabeth (Elizabeth) (she/her, bi, blue-green eyes, purple hair, 25 y/o) is my babygirl💜 Alix's baby (by like, a year-) sister, and Kayden's flatmate, she's a long suffering sweetie of their antics, helping clean up their messes. Very much in love with Kayden, though she'd not admit it (notice anything?-). Cares for her stupid brother endlessly and has the best time being the apple of his eye💜 Loves trashy TV, animals and plants, is so excited to move out of an apartment just so she can have a garden to nurture. Playlist

They all dye their hair together once a month in a ridiculous ritual that uses all the hot water up; they all hang out whenever they can and go to gigs or just get stoned together at home; they all call eachother silly nicknames which would never ever fly if anyone else tried to use them lmao

#I edit the playlists like every other day lmao I expect no one to ever look at them except me #i love listening to them on my drive to work switching playlists according to my mood #if anyone except kayden or zabeth (or me ig as their writer) dares to call alix 'ixy' so help me god you'd be missing a tooth by his fist #i have an 8 page word doc of kayden's lore i'm sorry for the infodump 🙈 #me: 'oh my god i'm so shyyyyy-' #also me: 'anyway here's everything i have so far-' #i'm so glad i can share with you all! #tysm for asking idk i'm so new to sharing OCs that it means more than you know for anyone to take interest 😭💜💜 #like I KNOW yall are lovely but i have to overcome my ick of being in any way real ig?? idk #thank you thank you 😭💜 #OCs #chloe's OCs

obviously bad blood and love story are both romajuliette songs. BUT miss americana and the heartbreak prince, cruel summer, style, dancing with our hands tied, call it what you want, and the great war are also valid for this couple.
