god i may be crazy but i think that bev put that rat poison on father Paul's water somehow

here, when sarah was checking on paul, bev filled a glass of water for him to drink

after on the same day there was a man that I forgot the name now that was fixing his sink and minutes later paul came inside the house and died from poisoning, just like joe's dog when bev poisoned it

and earlier on that episode bev was putting the poison back on the shelf. why would they show it suddenly?

pls tell me I'm not crazy I've never seen anyone talking about it

It has been a while since a podcast took root in my brain like this

remmick and the vampires present a false dichotomy

Hogwood (the man who sold the twins the mill) and the KKK are very obviously bad, they are outright malicious bigotry, they use the n-word and plan to lynch the moore's and their community, they are so blatantly racist and hateful it's unavoidably obvious

remmick and the vampires however say that they believe in equality, say that they want to create a community, and yet remmick's goal throught the movie is to both metaphorically and literally steal sammie's ability for his own goal of reconnecting with his irish ancestors, a white man wants to harm a young and upcoming black man and use talents for his own goals without giving any regard to said black man's autonomy or agency

when sammie sings 'I lied to you' in the juke joint and calls forth the spirits from the past and future, it's a blend of cultures; west african, east asian, native american, and african american song and dance blend together across time and space to tell the stories of blues; where it takes its inspiration from, the music genres it then inspired, the complex history of black american culture and its intersections with other peoples of colour in the USA

when remmick and the vampires kill and turn the people in the juke joint, and then perform rocky road to dublin, only remmick's irish culture is on display, there is no influence from the black and asian people he has forcibly assimilated into his song, it's juxtaposition with the earlier scene is blatant, remmick is more than happy to assimilate people of colour into his 'community' of 'equals', and yet its only whiteness that is celebrated, that is normative

remmick claims that he's doing people a favour by turning them immortal, conviently ignoring that he literally has to suck the life out of them to do so, trapping their spirits on earth, he claims that he's the good guy, that the KKK were gonna come and lynch everyone at the joint in the morning anyways, conviently ignoring that he's doing the exact same thing; a white man leading a mob to kill a bunch of black people

in the final confrontation with sammie remmick repeatedly dunks him into the river, a forceful baptism. both the celtic irish and enslaved west africans had their religions suppressed and destroyed by colonialsm, had christianity forced upon them by the british empire, and in that scene we see remmick repeating that cycle, using christianity to inflict harm, and sammie reclaiming christianity, despite all the complex emotions he has arround it, as many colonised peoples have and still do, when he recites the lord's prayer

remmick and the vampires are no less racist than hogwood and the KKK, are no less predatory or evil, they're just less blantant about their bigotry, they represent the system, the normalised white supremacy that is seeped into the very foundation of culture in america, the point isnt that remmick would call any of the black characters in the movie the n-word, i dont think he would, the point is that his exploitation and desacration and inserting-himself-into-when-he-wasn't-invited of the juke joint is a microcosm of what white people have done to black american arts and culture since ever since there have been black and white people in america, and even before that

theres a reason vultures are shown early on in this movie

He got em before it was even a thing

let me give it a shot:

[Image Description]

[3 Panel Comic]

[In the first panel, John is looking to the left behind Arthur, his, or whatever you would consider, a neck careening in that direction. He's wearing a bright yellow cloak and half of a white mask, nothing but complete darkness is beneath them. Arthur in front of him is also facing in his general direction.]

John: JESUS CHRIST Arthur, it looks like UPDOG in here Arthur: What? What's updog?

[the second panel is just John's face, his mask angled downwards to give the impression he Is staring at Arthur. Arthur speaks to him out of frame.]

Arthur: ...John? John, what's updog? [underlined as though he is now commanding and not asking.] John.

[The final panel is still Johns's face but now he is looking at the audience like he's in The Office (the tv show)]

Arthur (still out of frame): .....John?

I hope this helped! This is my first one actually so I hope I did this correctly.

more what if Faroe Lester au 

there is a sick and sadistic part of me that wants the show to end with arthur absolutely despising john. and i truly do mean pure hatred and vitriol
