So I just watched Us by Jordan Peele for the first time and the confrontation speech Red gives to Adelaide feels very Silco-core, I just thought I'd share XD.

"How it must have been to grow up with a sky. To feel the sun, the wind, the trees. But your people took it for granted—we're human too, you know. Eyes. Teeth. Hands. Blood. Exactly Like you."

I love Us so much.

And sadly, the commentary continues to be very prescient and heartbreaking.

But also THIS LINE:

"I never stopped thinking about you. How things could’ve been. How you could’ve taken me with you."

T_T

/lies in a broken puddle and sobs, before putting the film on the rewatch list...

The Two Fridas and Us (2019)

hey peeps.

so i was looking at the two fridas (frida kahlo) and it reminded me a lot of the 2019 jordan peele film us.

the way i interpret this painting is the frida in the white dress has her heart "open." literally, we can see inside it and figuratively, she's vulnerable and open to trusting others. through the veins in her heart she's tethered (get it, 'tethered?') to the other frida, which is another part of herself. that frida's heart is closed, literally we can't see inside it and figuratively, she's closed off to vulnerability and other people. the frida in the white dress cuts her veins with scissors (scissors!) and breaks the connection ('untethers!') herself from the other frida. to me, this could be because she needs to cut herself off from the other frida so both fridas can have what they want without holding each other back.

so this just screamed us to me. in us, the people above ground are mirrored by people living in tunnels underground. they're called the tethered. their lives are fully controlled by the real people above ground (they're a government experiment but that part isn't really important for this analysis), they are forever tethered together. BUT the tethered are angry at this (and honestly rightfully so, their lives suck) and they decide to come out of hiding and take revenge. they dress in red and carry scissors.

i want to talk about the scissors because that's what stood out to me the most and connects to the way the frida's are connected (tethered). in the film, the scissors represent unity for the tethered. they carry the scissors and make paper doll chains which represents the unity that the tethered feel towards each other (according to screenrant). at the end of the movie, the tethered woman (who is actually not originally tethered but besides the point for this analysis) cuts the paper dolls, slicing them apart.

now, traditionally scissors can represent cutting ties with something or someone. so when the tethered woman cuts the paper dolls, she is cutting ties with the real woman (who was originally tethered but for simplicity we are deciding that that is besides the point for this analysis). the tethered woman and real woman are mirrors of each other. the real woman has the life that the tethered woman always wanted. the tethered woman wants what the real woman has, the ability to make decisions. in order for her to do that, she needs to cut the tie because the real woman was holding her back.

the idea that to stop the real woman from holding her back, the tethered has to cut the tie really stood out to me because it seems like this painting seems to have the same theme. the fridas need to untether themselves from each other to achieve what they want to achieve (whatever that may be) without holding each other back.

thought this was interesting.

Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas countdown to Christmas Day. We've 7 days left!!

Lights

Gabe gets competitive with Christmas lights.

Tags: Gabe Wilson, Gabe x Adelaide, Wholesome, Christmas

When Adelaide walked into the room, Gabe scrambled to hide all the candy wrappers on the bed.

"Gabe, when are you gonna put up the Christmas lights? I've reminded you for a week."

"It's gonna snow.'

"That's why I wanted you to start earlier! I want them up, Gabe! I'd like to keep them on for the rest of December, not just Christmas."

"I'll get to it," Gabe assured, but Adelaide had heard that too many times since Thanksgiving.

"Josh already started, and I talked to Dahlia. He should be finished tomorrow."

Gabe hadn't looked outside. It was a lazy day, but now he was walking outside to see what the neighbors had done.

"Aish-" It was a lot. He'd managed to line the lowest parts of their house in white lights. It was simple. It was elegant. There were white light candles in every window... and here was the Wilson house in darkness.

To add insult to injury, the kids also noticed and confronted him at breakfast. Umbrae wanted lights and was very vocal about it not feeling like Christmas without it. She wanted inflatable snowmen. Jason wanted the house to look "magical." They both called dad "lazy" at the same time, and Adelaide only gave him a look.

"If you'd have listened to your wife.. you'd have beat the snow," she muttered. "I still expect those lights up.

"In the ice cold? OH," he yelled, feeling frostbite already. "It's a blizzard! I'm from Tobago! I need the heat. This is madness!" He was fighting for his life at the table.

It was time to get out there and light up the house. He went through the boxes of outside Christmas decorations and tested each string of lights to see what needed to be replaced. He drove to Walmart after work and came home with a dab and lights galore.

His family would swoon and call him the King of Christmas by the time he was done.

"You think you've got lights," he talked to himself as he fought to get his up before the blizzard came in heavy. Snow had begun to fall, and it was already too cold. He refused to admit, though, that he should've started when Ade told him.

He lined the lower level of the house with multicolored lights. He could feel the snowy weather in his bones. And then it really started coming down. Snow and wind. He climbed down the ladder and retreated indoors while the snow dropped, covering everything outside on a blanket of white that the kids adored.

They made snowmen and snow angels.

It was a white December. Adelaide pushed Gabe out the next afternoon in his winter coat to finish the job, and he did what he could make himself do, considering he hated the cold.

He took constant hot cocoa breaks inside.

"Oh no, Gabe, you wanted to wait for the snow. Get out there," Ade took his mug setting it down and pointing him out. It was getting dark early, which made Gabe feel like he was off the hook, but he wasn't.

He went back out and sighed with his hands on his hips as he looked at the snow covered house. He had to get back up on that ladder in the snow to finish the lights.

Unfortunately, snow was slippery...

He got them up there eventually.

When he turned the lights on, it was all worth it. The kids and Ade came out to gaze upon them. After all his hard work, he was thanked with hugs from his kids and a kiss from his beautiful wife.

Then Josh had to add white reindeer in his yard.

Gabe took Umbrae and Jason to help him pick out inflatables. With their help, he set up a snowman, a nutcracker, and a santa. They high-fived and Umbrae started a snowball fight with a wad of snow in her dad's face.

The next day, Josh had a reef on the door and a ribbon on his mailbox.

Gabe put a reef on his door and tacked a Santa hat on his mailbox.

Josh added a sleigh with a plastic Santa.

Gabe pulled out his ladder and put lights higher on his house.

Josh did the same, Gabe watched him do it and almost injure himself.

Dahlia called Adelaide. Josh was going crazy over their decorations, but he'd never tell them that. Instead, he'd keep trying to one-up Gabe. Adelaide shook her head. Gabe was the same. She was already happy with his work on the house, but he was getting swept up in competition.

They had to put a stop to it. So they did what any wife would do, and they each stripped their husband of his credit cards. The houses were done.

"We're going over to the neighbors' for dinner, I don't wanna hear any backtalk," Adelaide told her family two weeks before Christmas. They were to dress nicely and act like they had sense and manners.

Dahlia and Josh greeted them at the door. Adelaide's kids went to find their daughters in the kitchen and Gabe stepped outside with Josh to look at each other's houses and compare them to the weaker ones in the neighborhood.

"Wow," Adelaide looked around at their room and tree decor. "This is beautiful."

"Thank you, the photos from your Facebook were beautiful. I did draw a little inspiration."

"See, look at that. We can appreciate each other's decor without getting competitive," Adelaide smirked.

"Well, we are smarter than men," Dahlia showed Adelaide around.

"Mhm.. Oh! I have these bulbs."

"No," Dahlia chuckled. "You have the copper colored. These are rose gold.. rose gold," she whispered.

Adelaide didn’t like that. What she heard was 'mine is better'.

"Oh look at these stockings, they're so cute! Reminds me of what I had three years ago," Ade tapped them.

"Those are from Pier One. They came out this year."

"Hm," Ade showed her a picture from three years ago watching Dahlia's face drop. "Funny isn't it."

They went forward with dinner, but throughout, there was a competition between Ade and Dahlia.

It made the kids uncomfortable, but the husbands only looked knowingly at each other. Part two of the competition would be on if they didn't take the credit cards back from their wives. Things were getting out of hand.

When dinner was over and the Wilsons were leaving. Everyone congregated outside in the smow watching the other neighbor's house. While they were eating, he'd come out with a projector that shined a gingerbread house pattern on their home and another that displayed dancing snowflakes. They had a musical display that would play the Carol of the Bells.

Gabe and Josh looked at each other, then at Adelaide and Dahlia...

It was ON.

Out There Screaming: An Anthology of New Black Horror will be published on October 3 via Random House. It's curated by filmmaker Jordan Peele, who also provides an introduction and serves as editor with John Joseph Adams.

It features short stories by Erin E. Adams, Violet Allen, Lesley Nneka Arimah, Maurice Broaddus, Chesya Burke, P. Djèlí Clark, Ezra Claytan Daniels, Tananarive Due, Nalo Hopkinson, N.K. Jemisin, Justin C. Key, L.D. Lewis, Nnedi Okorafor, Tochi Onyebuchi, Rebecca Roanhorse, Nicole D. Sconiers, Rion Amilcar Scott, Terence Taylor, and Cadwell Turnbull.

The 400-page book will be available in hardcover, e-book, and audio book. The synopsis is below.

The visionary writer and director of Get Out, Us, and Nope, and founder of Monkeypaw Productions, curates this groundbreaking anthology of all-new stories of Black horror, exploring not only the terrors of the supernatural but the chilling reality of injustice that haunts our nation. A cop begins seeing huge, blinking eyes where the headlights of cars should be that tell him who to pull over. Two freedom riders take a bus ride that leaves them stranded on a lonely road in Alabama where several unsettling somethings await them. A young girl dives into the depths of the Earth in search of the demon that killed her parents. These are just a few of the worlds of Out There Screaming, Jordan Peele’s anthology of all-new horror stories by Black writers. Featuring an introduction by Peele and an all-star roster of beloved writers and new voices, Out There Screaming is a master class in horror, and—like his spine-chilling films—its stories prey on everything we think we know about our world... and redefine what it means to be afraid.

Pre-order Out There Screaming.

work of jordan peele is BIG influence on chuck this is correct. there are quite a few similarities actually, especially when you consider both of us are coming to horror from place of comedy (i personally do not see tinglers as comedy but obviously this timeline has placed them there and i am perfectly okay with this trot).

we are both creating horror stories for our own historically marginalized groups and in particular, writing stories that are SPECIFIC to those groups.

for example when thinking about QUEER HORROR there is plenty of queer horror where the horror itself has nothing to do with queerness, or the queerness is subtext. for instance you could have a slasher where the main characters happen to be gay, but their queerness is not necessarily part of the fear.

on the other hand, CAMP DAMASCUS is directly commenting on a queer issue

BURY YOUR GAYS is directly commenting on a queer issue

by the same token GET OUT is directly commenting on a race issue

US is directly commenting on a class issue which is, of course, going to be wrapped up in topics of race and marginalization

it should be said that the other kinds of horror where issues of the marginalized groups is more in the SUBTEXT are not wrong. there is a time and a place for that. the book that will likely be chucks next horror novel is about bi erasure, but it is much more about the subtext and symbolism. there is a bi lead, but also a monster that does not seem to be about bi erasure AT FIRST. it is much less direct. so there is a time and a place for both kinds of approaches.

but i think the biggest thing that is similar about jordan and chucks approach (and what has been a big influence on me specifically) is that our goal is NOT: 'how HORRIFYING AND TRAUMATIC AND MESSED UP CAN WE MAKE THIS?'

we are doing something else

processing trauma by exposure can be a common goal for horror AND honestly i think it is also totally dang fine to make art like this. there are some incredible pieces where trauma and tragedy is the goal. however (and i will speak for myself here) when you are coming from a buckaroo community that has been through so much of this trauma in real life, i PERSONALLY find that goal to be a little too boring.

my goal is more like this: how can we use this genre of fear and tension that i love to comment and explore and say something new? how can i pull apart an issue and deconstruct it in a way that is cathartic and maybe even changes minds?

so i cannot speak for jordan but i feel like our approaches are similar in this way. i see a LOT of reviews that make comparisons between CAMP DAMASCUS and GET OUT and i am always very flattered
