when will my husband (genocidal war criminal) return from the war (ravine his brother threw him into and followed him down in a final act of fraternity)
crimson peak's ghosts really were such incredible design work. which is to be expected from guillermo del toro, but it's still impressive, especially when you actually stop to consider how much thought and detail went into them. they're visceral, bloody, resembling decaying flesh far more than the typical vaporous appearance you expect when you hear the word "ghost". they're painful to look at, these half-rotted, twisted, moaning apparitions that at first evoke more terror than sympathy, making edith's initial refusal to accept their warnings very understandable, especially when you remember that she's been seeing them since she was a little girl. they reflect the true horror at the heart of the story - of being trapped by the trauma inflicted on you, in perpetual agony from wounds that will not heal, unable to move on, and begging for someone to see you, to understand your pleas for help and acknowledge your pain, that you were wronged, to break the cycle of violence and ensure that it doesn't happen again and render your suffering meaningless.
while snakes have no external ears, they are not deaf!
snakes have unfused lower mandibles, so they can open their jaws sideways
cladistically speaking, snakes are just a category of lizards
pythons, boas, and a few other groups of snakes actually have legs! they have little claws by their vent/cloaca, remains of their hind legs that might have a role in reproduction but that's kind of disputed
this is imantodes cenchoa, the blunt-headed tree snake, and it's in the running for the goofiest looking snake alive
OMG SNAKE FACTS!!!!
the house of atreus really has everything: cannibalism, matricide, fratricide, just plain old murder, incest, adultery, generational trauma, etc

life is just [when mitski said “mom, would you wash my back? this once and then we can forget” and killing eve said “clean your face” “can you do it?” “you’re not a child” “I want to feel like one. please, can you do it?” and @maiabaia said “mother, eat me and give birth to me again, this time around I’ll make you proud” and @inkskinned said “mom can you come get me things are getting bad again and i feel every insult like a sharp tooth and i feel my dreams rotting under my fingernails”]
"I tried to be good, am I no good? am I no good? am I no good? with my memory restricted to a polaroid in evidence, I just wanted to be yours, can I be yours? can I be yours? just tell me I'm yours. if I'm turning in your stomach and I'm making you feel sick"

GOD I COULD TRY TO BE THE ONE TO BE THE ONE ILL TEAR DOWN THE SKY!!!!!
Chrysothemis always gets left out in discussions of The Kids of Clytemnestra because she's easily overshadowed by the drama queen antics of the rest of her family and I always feel sad about that...Chrysothemis I'm thinking of u and how u taught yourself to bend under the weight of your family, rather than break or lash out. Not every child of abuse can hit back. Anything is acceptable in the name of survival. The pity and grief and anger and envy she felt towards Electra because Electra never pulled her punches, even when it was the smart response, the proper one, the one that might lead to some kind of future happiness. Chrysothemis did everything right; she kept her head down, she kept her mouth shut, she kept herself humble and obedient, but it would never have mattered either way, because she wasn't the heroine. The story wasn't hers.
god i love doomed romances because it’s like. “what is grief if not love persevering” but the grief and love are happening at the same time. how do you grieve something that’s still alive? how do you love something that has always been dead? and the answer is just. intensely.
