#this haunting is hereditary

[filmnoirsbian]

What's wild is that you'll have an abusive parent. And you'll maintain a relationship with them despite your better instincts because that's your parent and you want them to be a parent. And one day you'll bring up all the things that they did to you because they need to be addressed. The baggage needs to be unpacked. And they'll say what do you want me to do with this box of rotting flesh? And you'll say I want you to acknowledge the box of rotting flesh. I want you to apologize for cutting it off of me and stuffing it into that box and then forcing the box onto me. I want you to recognize that I have been carrying this box for years. And I want you to help me carry it. And they'll say well where's my apology for you putting your unsuspecting body into my hands and then expecting me not to stick a knife in you? And you just have to move on because the only alternative is rotting in the box yourself.

Thinking about John with all the posts on the dash. Thinking about how he was such an emotionally cowardly person?

Like a brave mean tough son of a bitch who'd do what had to be done? Yes

A loving if deeply flawed father who'd face down hell and all he hates for his sons? Yes

But a coward in the face of his own shortcomings and shame? Yes

Like - let's lie to Sam his entire life and say it's to protect him when really I'm terrified of what it all might mean. Keep Sam from the burden of knowledge about how his mother died and what it all might mean, even if not knowing puts him in danger, even if it won't protect him at all, even if he's a goddamn target and needs to know -- and pretend it's protection instead of terror guiding that choice.

Because if you hide the truth long enough, then maybe just maybe you'll never to look at him and see a monster. Maybe you'll never have to look in his eyes and see the horror when he learns the truth. See the betrayal.

Because if you bury the truth deep enough maybe Sam and Dean will never learn that Mary sold them to this.

(Because John must have known, have learned at some point, we know the entries in his journal of the parents and families that Azazel visited, families that John interviewed. He knew, eventually. He was protecting her memory too, too cowardly to face that truth either.)

He does the same thing with Ellen. Never tells the boys who she is, that she's a friend, an ally, a person they can actually trust and rely on. He hides her existence from them because he blames himself for Bill's death, and ultimately he's just protecting himself from the shame. From his kids hearing that story, from having to reckon with it. He cuts Sam and Dean off from a genuine ally in his fear and in his selfishness.

(and if we allow that Kripke originally intended for Jo to be John's daughter, he cut his kids off from their actual family, their sister, so as to hide the evidence, the shame of what he did with Ellen when Bill was still around. Maybe even a little the shame of stepping out on the memory of Mary. And look where that gets Dean and Jo.)

Look at all the ways John's secrets come back to bite people, the very people he pretends he's protecting by lying to them. Lying doesn't keep people safe, it never keeps them safe. He knows what Mary's lies brought to their family.

He knows better, and yet. And yet. That's the lie he tells to himself.

It's selfish and self-serving, a child hiding the sheets after wetting the bed. It doesn't change the smell of piss.

John loves his sons. He loved his wife. He might even have loved Ellen. Loves too, in his own ornery way, Pastor Jim, Bobby, Caleb. None of this diminishes that, nor that he wanted, desperately, to protect them.

But none of that love or hope or courage or intellect diminishes this either, that John is fearful, is cowardly with his shame, and he hides like a child rather than trust the ones he loves the most.

#hmmm how on earth to tag this #is it crit? #probably but i don't mean it negatively #its more of a #character study #the perennial problem of john winchester #John crit #i guess #but in no way anti #he's flawed it's what makes him a good character #his secrecy is his tragic flaw in a sense #it moves the play forward despite being unnecessary and destructive #so easy from the outside to amend #so impossible from the inside to overcome #it was always going to be this way #so I guess I'm saying John is a tragedy #and supernatural is the aftermath #this haunting is hereditary #this haunting is architectural

It is here, in the bedroom, that we are at our most vulnerable. Each night we shed our senses, trusting in the house to keep us safe until next we wake. In this state of extreme vulnerability we will spend up to 20% of our lives. Watch us. Keep us company until dawn. And we would never perceive it, we can only pray that the house will not let such things carry on as we sleep. In this way, during these hours, the bedroom seems less like a mind and more like a mouth. For it is here that the house is most likely to betray us. It is here that we place ourselves most at the house’s mercy and spend each night hoping that it will not bite down.

I’m a huge horror buff (obviously, this is my horror side blog!) so my skin is pretty thick when it comes to horror. Sometimes I get frustrated when a hyped up movie doesn’t scare me… so here’s a list of movies that actually genuinely freaked me out! I’m only listing movies I’ve watched as an adult because kids are more easily scared.

(Honorable mention: “The Grudge”, I watched that when I was like 12 or 13 so I don’t think it really counts. I wish I could rewatch it for the first time and see if it scares me!)

Anyway here’s my list of scary movies that actually scared me:

- The Ritual

- The Babadook

- Hereditary

- Possum (man, fuck that puppet)

- The Haunting of Hill House

- It Follows

- His House

Please send me recommendations based on these!

sooo since it's practically halloween it's time for me to make plans to follow my yearly tradition of making 13 horror edits during october. i feel like at this point i've done plenty of edits for my favourites so it's a little tricky for me to get started on a list of movies i want to get to. no guarantees, but if there's anything you'd like to see or any suggestions for movies you think i should check out (if i haven't seen them already), please reply to this post?

#i could probably just add up my personal classics and try a different approach then before but i'd love to get some ideas / inspiration! #* than #some but not all movies i've done in the past: the blair witch project - midsommar - us - get out - the babadook - fear street - hereditary #the orphanage - nightbooks - hush - the rocky horror picture show - you're next #ready or not - happy death day - vivarium - the cabin in the woods ........ #i am forgetting so many right now but that might just give you an idea of what i like #i've also done some shows like the haunting of bly manor and hill house #i guess i wouldn't mind repeats as much but i'd just love some inspiration for sure!
