I tried so hard to make the order make sense so they're actually going one ward at a time and then somehow wrote the wrong ward name here and gave myself a panic attack past!self why

??? Okay, anyone wanna explain to me why the Joker used a flower symbol of a yellow iris? The hanakotoba I’m getting from multiple sites are ‘loyalty, good news’, and occasionally some other positive things? The closest thing is maybe knowledge, like, seek enlightenment and after you find it I’ll take my revenge, or mayyybe at a stretch ‘finally my day of revenge has come, this is good news for me’, but, like??? From its place in the story I always kind of assumed it was a similar meaning to the orange lily.

Why are Jun’s parents still alive and yet he’s going by Kashihara unlike ‘This Side’? Not even Tatsuya knows.

i think the backrooms is very effective cosmic horror akin to lovecraft; it says humans aren't the Masters of the Universe and that the world is generally alien, cold, and uncaring, there's impossible geometries and the usual sanity effects, there's monsters and the limits of human knowledge, but there's also the possibility to fight back, to understand new rules and survive

         I've read a few things about the reboot.  I liked the idea of Xander as a youtuber because he totally would be, but as interesting as the turn they've done for him could be, I'm slightly disappointed, because you could just update him for the modern era.  BtVS was supposed to be groundbreaking for its time--and it was, from everything I've heard--so, y'know, keep doing that?  Give us a better Xander.  Write everyone as better, more supportive, less "I need to fix all my problems myself".  Deproblematize the problematic things, especially if the comics are being written without Whedon.

         That being said I'm still trying to unpack the dream I had this morning about the supposed reboot.  I didn't dream this whole thing, but when my brain gets on a storytelling roll in a dream it's pretty easy to pick it right back up.  I wasn't going to put it under a cut but since I'm using both the straightforward description + some speculation + commentary, it got long.  Fast.  (also this is the most ironic use of the 'dream of life' tag--)
Warnings: discussion of Whedon (and also Lovecraftian-inspired cosmic horror) and thus racism, sexism, ableism

interesting dream )

Cast a Deadly Spell: It's rare that someone manages to pull off a movie with Lovecraftian themes, less often that Cthulhu isn't the big bad Old One (though he gets a mention), and to have that, magic, AND noir, and manage to pull it off with only the occasional pre-CGI iffy effect...color me impressed.  You can't buy a physical copy, but amazon does sell a digital copy.
