“The world is full of uncertainties and we're shaken up by them all the time. While we sway this way and that and are broken by them perhaps we will one day learn to bend instead of breaking.”

I really be walking around my house singing Pale Pale Moon

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.

Ah, Salem, how I miss you <3

Jin's Dad Jokes pt 3

Jin: What did Aladdin call himself after finding the lamp.

Namjoon: What? Oh please let this be bearable.

Jin: A Genie-Yus *Windshield laughter*

Namjoon: Why the hell am I subjected to this.

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---

a televangelism story board. I normally don’t make videos but I thought I’d try something different.

A few more thoughts

This art by @Doodlemunster is just gorgeous. Doesn't she look like one of the Muses here? Actual goddess, I am telling you. From the moment we saw Miss thang on the screen, she has not been coded as human.

Siren? Of course

The first time we see Pearline, she is standing at the station, admiring the way Sammie's gift lures people in. His voice is something else; no wonder folk can't resist. As a siren, it's usually the other way around. She sings and men are at her mercy. I think this is why her gaze looks so curious. Pearline clocks his shit immediately. She can see something supernatural within this boy. Not to mention, the sinful nature of their interaction. She is the ultimate temptation for Preacher Boy. A married woman who adores him and his guitar? A blues singer that knows her way around a shotgun? A harlot who spends her nights entertaining fellow sinners? Jedediah would have a heart attack.

Werewolf? Absolutely

Why else do we learn nothing about her personal life? Her job? Her husband? She only really interacts with Sammie over the course of the night. That Juke Joint was packed with Black folk who've spent their whole lives in Clarksdale, Mississipi. Why doesn't anyone recognise her? As a lycanthrope, it is safer for Pearline to live on the edge of society.

Vampire? Eventually

Her last words before she turns are 'Sammie, run'. Does that sound like a woman who is happy in her married? Who longs to see her husband again? Scratch that, does that sound like a mortal? When Annie gets turned she refuses to live as anything but a human being. Her disgust was plainly stated, and thankfully Elijah respected that.

Pearline, on the other hand, accepts what is coming!! There is nothing to run from because she is already a creature of the night. From where I'm standing, Pearline is a werewolf in her mid to late 20s. She has experienced gruesome transformations before and with the full moon outside, she knows how ugly things could get. Her final warning to Sammie is a profound act of love and confirmation of her familiarity with the supernatural.

TLDR: This woman is not human. Never been human and I love that for her.

don’t you drop that guitar sammie
