sorry i can’t take your touch, man. it’s not you it’s just that i fell in love with a war

love is buying your favorite chocolate out of habit cause i saw it at the store

(a short poem for a friend who will never know how dear she is to me. i’m sorry i don’t know how to tell you. i’ll have to hope the chocolate conveys what words never could)

the pear??

Mr. Flanagan! I loved those bts snippets in your Hill House post. Do you have any behind-the-scenes photos from the making of Midnight Mass you’d be willing to share with us?

(Also, thank you for making Midnight Mass! I can’t tell you how much that show has made a permanent home in my brain, one year on. A forever #1 favorite of mine. Thank you.)

Sure! Here are some my personal photos from the shoot. Hope you enjoy.

Recent Midnight Mass com, finished my third rewatch a little bit ago and the concept's been bouncing around in my head for a while.

midnight mass (2021, dir. mike flanagan)

i appreciate it, i am in fact very scared for communion

watching the last episode of midnight mass right before church on a sunday was perhaps not my smartest idea…

only kind of bingo i play

house of usher comes out next week so it feels like the right time to break out the old mike flanagan bingo board.

filled out to the best of my memory. love when a dude is obsessed with themes and imagery <3

3. 3 nickels mike. this is getting out of hand

If i had a nickel for every time i cried my way through the last episode of a mike flannigan series, i would have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened two times

i cannot merely read words, i must consume. give me a sentence and watch as i carve it into my bones, tucked safely right over my heart

Kaz Brekker invented love. in this essay i will-

Mike Flannigan you’ve done it again (i’ve been sobbing violently for the last hour with no signs of stopping soon)

“I loved you completely and you loved me the same. That’s all, the rest is confetti…”

Mike Flannigan your days are numbered

how do i let people know that fall is my favorite season, not in a pumpkin spice way but in a “the snow in the mountains was melting and bunny had been dead for several weeks” kind of way?

when the leaves start changing colors and it’s looking like drop everything and move to vermont to join an elite major at snobby school before ultimately joining a cult and killing your friends

I’m nothing but a collection of regrets morphed into the shape of a person who can’t let go…

fanart for art heist baby by @otrtbs

my masochistic tendencies made me reread ahb and i haven't been this sad and this inspired in a while so enjoy while it lasts

barty and evan in Art Heist, Baby! literally scream these motherfuckers

i just can’t escape them

“Touch.

And touch.

And touch.”

@little-shit-soph has given me Barty/Evan brain rot, and I’m making it everyone’s problem.

the lady in the lake was also dani, and dani wouldn’t. dani would ne — STOP IT NOT ANOTHER WORD

Anyone who sobbed their way through the last episode of the Haunting of Bly Manor deserves financial compensation

(and probably therapy)

this man is so Art Heist Baby James coded, it’s not even funny anymore

when i’m going about my day listening to the oppenheimer soundtrack and suddenly i am become death the destroyer of worlds

Richard Papen is the kind of guy to say “i know a spot” and then take you to a run down apartment with a hole in the roof in the middle of winter

The parallels in Adrianne Lenker’s album Songs never fails to destroy me. For example,

“I don’t want to be the owner of your fantasy, so just want to be a part of your family” (anything)

“And your dearest fantasy, is to grow a baby in me. I could be a good mother, and I want to be your wife” (not a lot, just forever)

The first song, anything, is gentle, it’s intimate. It shows the quiet parts of Adrianne’s relationship, her longing to stay and belong with her lover. Throughout the whole song she speaks of the intimacy of relationships and how this is what she was craving. She wasn’t this version of herself that her lover fantasizes about, and she never really will be. She just wants to be a part of her family, to be her wife.

The second song, seems to take place during or after the breakup. Adrianne has gone past the soft, quiet grieving that we see in the other song. Instead, she is taken over by desperation. She misses Indigo and what they had. She is willing to do anything to get it back. She mentions again this fantasy of Indigo’s that we see in anything. Adrianne doesn’t necessarily want a family or to be a mother, but Indigo does and perhaps this is the only way to get her back. We see her offer up a bargain. Let us go back to what we had, and i’ll be this version you wanted. I could be a good mother. She doesn’t want to be, but she will because she wants to be Indigo’s wife.

There is something just so inately sad about the use of the word could in this instance, the depths of her grief and desperation.

You don’t like the way your hair sits? Take mine, I will shear it off without a second thought.

Take my eyes so you may see through them just how beautiful you are.

Take my lungs, that you should never gasp for air.

You’re not comfortable in your skin? Take mine, I will strip it from my body just to see you smile.

My heart is already yours, it has been beating to the sound of your name ever since I first heard it uttered. Take it, it is more yours than it ever was mine.

Take my muscles. May they make you strong enough to never need another.

I will give and give of myself until I am nothing but a meager pile of brittle and broken bones.

Take them. May they be of more use to you than I ever could have been.

i will forgive you, but i can never forget. This alone is my deepest secret and my darkest flaw.
