katie mcgrath said "you can't make a show without lesbianism" and mike flanagan was like
the way Mike Flanagan and his team allow us to explore the realities of death and dying through the lenses of characters that cannot die. that are stuck. characters that desperately want to let go and are unable or refuse to let go and hurt others in the process. And in the end it is always the realization that we are everything and we are nothing all at once and we are stories. it moves me every time. Every. Time.
mike flanagan u HAVE to stop putting the inherent goodness of human nature in all its complexity shining thru horror at the center of ur work bc i cant take it anymore
midnight mass saying the line between divinity and monstrosity is nonexistent and how you categorize it is a matter of what you choose to put your faith in. how far you’re willing to stretch belief to accept the things in front of you that you’ve been told are good even if they’re ugly. seeing is believing but can you believe what you see. bro i am flat on my back

I find it endlessly fascinating that most humans just want someone who will get up in the middle of the night to close the windows with them when it starts down pouring. We want someone to dry our dishes after we wash them. We just want another person to do mundane activities with. We want to tell someone how the copy machine broke at work and we want to listen to how Debra is causing office drama again. We just want something so simple. We want human connection and honesty and to be bored with someone else instead of bored alone.
