fuck tinder I wanna meet someone the old fashioned way. We both work at this mansion, but it turns out I've actually been dead for quite some time & can't leave, only I don't realize that until I finally make a decision to leave with you to Paris but I can't because im dead so I disappear/continue to afterlife. We never get together at all. But I loved you, I should've told you.

Confession: I haven't watched any of @flanaganfilm's films.

I'm obsessed with the miniseries he's done & I could watch The Haunting series a thousand times & never get tired of them. I've been meaning to give Hush & Doctor Sleep a go & just keep missing the opportunity to 2-birds-one-stone them with my husband & my sister.

I'm waiting so patiently for The Fall of the House of Usher & I'm being SO NORMAL ABOUT IT.

I think the miniseries format has really worked fantastically well for him & allowed for some absolutely stunning, beautifully powerful storytelling. It's also, as we've seen with Midnight Club, a risky format when it's not self-contained to a single season.

Midnight Club was just another reason for me to abhor netflix. Another nail in their own coffin that will only drive people away from the service. Certainly can't blame Flanagan for jumping ship with the way they run creatives into the ground. I just don't know that Amazon will be much better. (Though it occurs to me now that maybe since the union was successful, it may be applicable, or could be expanded to cover creators & contract hires, etc, in media departments…🤔)

Anyway having only seen Mike Flanagan's miniseries work so far, I wrote up a response a while back to some peoples' complaints about Bly Manor. Specifically folks were complaining about the supposed use of the "bury your gays" trope - which I wholeheartedly disagree with. It's a long post in & of itself, so I won't get into the whole argument here. I just am so frustrated with people just…throwing that phrase around.

While we did lose the opportunity to see Midnight Club's 2nd season played out on screen with the wonderful cast we got to see spotlighted in the first season(all of whom were simply amazing & I hope I see more of them thriving in similarly awesome roles for a long time), we were given the gift of closure via Flanagan's tumblr blog.

The storyline for Spencer, his journey with AIDS & his eventual recovery & future outside Brightcliffe, surviving & carrying all of his friends' stories & love & dreams along with him…

I loved Theo & Trish in Hill House & that Trish was stubborn enough to out-stubborn one of the Cranes & convince Theo to tear down that wall & let her in. That they reached a point where their relationship could be healthy & stable. I don't believe the House got the rest of them, though I am indeed aware that it's up for interpretation. I reject that kind of bleak reading on principle.

My point here really, is that I have been so impressed with how much love has gone into each of these series. My point is that someone looking at something where a queer character dies & saying "this is bury your gays" shows a distinct lack of understanding of what that trope even is.

Dani & Jamie live out a domestic lesbian dream life together. They live. I don't know how to put this any more plainly for the folks that don't get it. They lived a life together & had their happy ending. & Then one of them died before the other. Because that happens in the real world.

You can take it at face value - Dani & Viola returned to the lake for reasons supernatural; Or you can take it as a metaphor, as a representation of depression, anxiety, PTSD, etc. You can read it as a loved one struggling with mental illness & her partner helping her weather it for years. Yet even still sometimes we lose loved ones to such illnesses anyway.

Regardless, bury your gays is about robbing queer characters of their story. It's about denying them their opportunities to live out a lifetime the way cishet characters usually get to.

Flanagan has done a pretty excellent job so far of NOT doing that. Period. That's a truly significant part of what I love about his series, and why I'm so excited for more.

Here. Right here, this moment. "What a curious and charming man," I thought. Oh, it had been so long, I'd forgotten that feeling, but… I looked at you, and… I almost forgot myself for a moment. God knows I've tried not to think of you. Very hard, but I… I've thought of you often. Thinking about the places we would go if we were ever to leave Bly. Where we'd settle. You'd open your restaurant. Make me taste all those wonderful recipes you created in that beautiful, maddening mind of yours. I always think that I would very much like… to spend the rest of my days with you. Listening to your dreadful puns, holding your hand, and… I loved you, Owen. I should have told you.

To truly love another person is to accept the work of loving them is worth the pain of losing them.
