This drama is so unique in it's storytelling. I'm watching it with my mom and I told her that I love how the pacing isn't in any order whatsoever. It feels natural, almost like being told by memory. And memories aren't always in chronological order.
It reminds me of sitting with my grandma in the garden, asking her stories about her childhood, starting from when she was a little girl to when she had my mom and my uncles, to her own siblings, then to her marriage. It leaves me with the same fluttery feelings, all warm and joyful. Yet the drama also offers so many perspective about life, about how people become when they grow up. As kids, we had big dreams and even bigger ambitions, but then as adults, we just try to do our best. Sometimes we fail but we try to make do and give ourselves a little bit of grace. Because this is our first life, everything is a first time.
The episodes just wreck me every. single. time. I don't think there's ever been an episode where I didn't cry. So many of it is just being grateful to my parents. I know I'm luckier than most, and I know that sometimes I'm a brat who doesn't appreciate it enough. But I know that nobody else would love me as much as they do and no amount of gratitude would ever surpass everything they did for me. Oh my God this is turning out to be so sappy. But I think that's exactly what the drama wants us to realize, that life goes on and always goes on. Don't have too many regrets. Tell your parents you love them. Find a partner who would treat you right, who would be your ally and your friend, someone you'd want by your side even if the whole world comes crashing down. And love yourself deeply(!!). When you do all this, everything just follows.
Needless to say I love this drama. I believe it's one of those that'll stick with me for a very long time.
Namjoon: Pretty chill in the beginning, with time jumps at sudden scares.
Jin: Screams like an ahjussi every single time a jump scare appears, brushes it off like nothing happened.
Yoongi: Doesn't give two shits, finds the movie mildly amusing. Probably aready asleep.
Hoseok: Scared shitless, probably inside the couch cause he's too afraid.
Jimin: Formed a ball with himself by crouching to his knees, hides his face at scary scenes.
Taehyung: Literally just a huge ass koala and snuggling up to everyone and probably just latches onto Jungkook cause everyone else shoved him away.
Jungkook: Bored AF. Wants the movie to get over with so he can play overwatch.
What really gets to me is Stack promising Sammie that he could drive the car on the way back—which Sammie does—but no one could’ve ever imagined that he’d be driving back alone.
There’s also the moment at the beginning of the movie, when Smoke and Stack pick up Sammie from the church, and Stack promises their Uncle Jed that he and Smoke will get Sammie back to him in one piece—which they do, more or less.
Even though it’s Sammie who physically gets himself back home, he does, in fact, make it back in one piece—thanks to Smoke making Stack promise not to hurt Sammie and Stack agreeing to let Sammie live out the rest of his life.
It’s beautiful—yet bittersweet—how, even if Stack doesn’t realize it, all three of his promises regarding Sammie were honored in the end.
I really be walking around my house singing Pale Pale Moon
Yes. Just as I fall down this rabbit hole further, yes.
i honestly think so much of ethel cain, like that girl understands me and i feel so deeply for her
why are so many people sleeping on 'pale, pale moon'??!
yes, obviously 'i lied to you' and 'rocky road to dublin' were great scenes, and they were both used amazingly in the movie, but also?? PALE, PALE MOON???
this song did such a good job at showing the intense sense of community that was building between the people who were at the juke joint. everyone was joining together in this scene, singing and dancing to the rhythm in such synchronicity. they were partying and laughing and enjoying themselves together, and it really felt like they'd known each other a lifetime. and the fact that this song could be heard through the building's walls showed the power of that harmony, that sense of community. it showed what was possible when people came together under shared bonds and experiences.
and also take into consideration the literal meaning behind some of the lyrics. "Lawd away til the sun does rise" "Gonna move my body through the whole night long" obviously talking about partying through the whole night. but also this is a vampire movie, it's literally talking about how once they get turned to vampires, they'll only be able to move through the night, until the sun rises.
maybe i'm wrong, and people are talking about this song. but i loved it and i wanted to talk about it :D

also i am in LOVE with pearline!!!
she is so PRETTY and her voice is absolutely GORGEOUS she is literally PERFECT and in this essay i will---
not quite sure if its cannon whether or not ethel cain (the character) was a cheerleader but I love the uniform hayden wears in the American teenager mv and wanted to draw her in a theoretical late 80s American small town cheer squad. Maybe this counts as an au, not quite sure. as a non-american, cheerleading has always felt very alien to me. the idea that you guys actually have girls who jump around with pom poms before football games is very sweet. very highly based on this photo posted by Kimberly booth. no, I don't know her, I just found it on Pinterest and thought the faded-film vibe fit my vision lol
I have a personal vendetta against daily pass. Like what the FUCK do you mean that if a webtoon is complete you will slap me with a charge to read an episode. FUCK OFF NAVER.
i hate daily pass so much. wdym i cant binge re-read my favorite webtoons??? i dont have the type of patience to wait a day between episodes. GIVE ME BACK MY BINGEABLE COMICS WEBTOON
