#THIS MEANS SOMETHING

Its been a while now, and I've slept on it, but I'm still reeling from episode 7 of Dead Boy Detectives. Even if I can find critique in other episodes - somewhat clunky dialogue at times, a lot of exposition, the teenage drama which can sometimes get tiresome - I cannot fault episode 7. It is perfection. Its a classic Yockey episode full of symbolism and metaphor, full of layers and meaning and depth. You don't just invoke the Orpheus Myth in The Sandman Universe my dudes. That was IMPORTANT. Especially since it was invoked on the stairs to Hell - the very stairs Orpheus probably walked down himself.
There is something so harrowing about it, about the Despair of it all. About what it means for these characters. My head is reeling from it.
Not only that, but the external symbolism and the clear Knowledge of what such an episode would mean to their target audience, to a specific target audience that certain creators of this show would be well aware of, and well aware of that target audiences specific pain. The additional meta level which you can only possibly understand if you were part of a certain group of people on November 5th 2020. How the echoes of that particular event were vibrating around that staircase. How there is something lovingly carved into that episode that builds a bridge between us. There was a love letter in there, an apology perhaps too, an echo to another confession that didn't get such respectful treatment. A confession that sent someone to Hell rather than freed them from it.
To invoke the Orpheus Myth, to invoke Despair herself, there is something in that. Sure, many people will dismiss this as reading too much into it. But they don't have the same shared history that I do with Richard Speight Jr, with Steve Yockey. Two people that know all too well the impact such a scene could have.
Anyway this is mostly just ramblings as I try to get my thoughts together. Whatever it all is, its something, and it goes beyond the show itself. There is healing in this and I can appreciate that deeply.

Being a black butler fan is kind of like being a divorced parent waiting in the McDonald’s parking lot for your bitch of an ex wife (Sebastian Michaelis) to drop your son off for custody exchange with his stuff in a garbage bag instead of the backpack you sent him with and no I will not be elaborating on this.

You know how the Crone in disguise tells Airk, “Now forget all you know and think you know.” Isn’t that exactly what Willow told Elora at the beginning of her training. Why am I just putting that parallel together now

This would have been my personal best. One mine left, two possible cells it could be, 50/50, a flip of a coin.
Dammit.
