cate blanchett as carol aird “Who is Carol? Carol is a shadowy character subjectively seen through Therese’s lens in the novel. And I think challenge that Phyllis risen to and achieved beyond my wildest expectations was by bring Carol to life on the page and giving her her own heartbeat, not only through the person that Therese thinks Carol is but who she might possibly be. And so there’s a lot of invention. There’s a lot of references made to lawyers meetings and all of those stuffs but Phyllis has actually brought that to life with a real passionate but quiet dignity. I think Carol in a way is…she’s someone with an incredible sense of pride, and is intelligent and sensitive and aware enough to know the way the world works, and that she doesn’t fit within that world. But I think she thinks she’s found a way to operate that’s intensely lonely.” - C.B.

“Whenever each child, each sibling, is in the Red Room, something in the fantasy is red. And it’ll be a very, very small thing. When Luke gets taken to the hotel room, he’s worn Converse throughout the show, and all of a sudden his Converse are red. And it’s so slight you can barely even see it. And I think Steven is wearing a red jumper in his fantasy. And so there’s something at the end, Kate Siegel, who plays Theo, kind of pointed it out to me — with Luke’s sobriety cake… She went, ‘The cake is red.’” - Oliver Jackson-Cohen on TheWrap
“I feel a little clearer just now. We have. All of us have. The rest is confetti. So many times and we didn’t know it. All of us. No, not a heart. A stomach. We have. All of us have. So many times and we didn’t know it. I don’t get it. I feel like I’ve been here before. We have. All of us have. So many times and we didn’t know it. All of us. I feel a bit clearer now. Everything’s been out of order. Time, I mean. I thought for so long that time was like a line, that that our moments were laid out like dominoes, and that they fell, one into another and on it went, just days tipping, one into the next, into the next, in a long line between the beginning and the end. But I was wrong. It’s not like that at all. Our moments fall around us like rain. Or snow. Or confetti. You were right. We have been in this room. So many times and we didn’t know. All of us. Mom says that a house is like a body and that every house has eyes. And bones. And skin. And a face. This room is like the heart of the house. No, not a heart, a stomach. It was your dance studio, Theo. It was my toy room. It was a reading room for Mom. A game room for Steve. A family room for Shirley. A treehouse for Luke. It put on different faces so that we’d be still and quiet. While it digested. I’m like a small creature swallowed whole by a monster. And the monster feels my tiny little movements inside. I learned a secret. There’s no without. I am not gone. I’m scattered into so many pieces, sprinkled on your life like new snow……. Forgiveness is warm. Like a tear on a cheek. Think of that and of me when you stand in the rain. I loved you completely. And you loved me the same. That’s all. The rest is confetti.” — Nellie, The Haunting of Hill House
“Do you have to make everything gay?”
If i dont, who will?
No really, if queer people aren’t constantly fighting for their right to exist, if queer people aren’t constantly “making everything gay” in an overwhelming hetero world, who will?
The straights? Lol. No they won’t.
Because they’ve shown time and time again that they won’t.
So yeah, I’m gonna make everything gay.
I love that ally can recognize ivy even in the mask, but when ally first joined the cult ivy had no clue
I understand why people are upset that Mildred and Gwen never had a sex scene, at least in season 1, and believe me I would have loved to see their relationship move to that level of intimacy and just to see how Mildred would have handled the situation. But I’ve been thinking and I think the reason that there wasn't a sex scene with them is because all of the sex scenes in the show were just that. Sex was just sex in the show there was no relationship between the characters doing it, and if there was the entire relationship was solely based on the sex they had. I think that with Mildred and Gwen they wanted their relationship to be more solid, be based more on the quiet intimacy the two shared, like the oyster scene or when they were kissing in bed but just ended with touching each others face in the bathroom. It was based on love, not sex.
If you’re still up for talking about Ratched, and cuz I know it’s something we talked about in passing, how do you feel about how the intimacy was handled?
I hope my reply answers this but now that I think about it, I would have liked to see more intimate scenes. To be fair we saw a bunch of hetero sex scenes and Finn pretty much had his dick out like??? it’s ryan m*rphy so I didn’t expect much anyway, but looking back we deserved more than whatever two second scene he did give us :/
sorry if this wasn’t what you meant. but how did you feel about it? 🤔
actually, would love to hear anyone’s thoughts on this!!
