I can't stop thinking about Claudia. She is literally the post about chosen ones not being teens. Is she a typical hero? Well, she killed her dad... so, like, no, BUT she is the closest to a hero in the story. She fixes everything while the ill-destined teens turn into emo elders who after 66 years still have no fucking clue about anything. I love her so much I'm gonna scream

One of the most devastating things to me is that in s2 when the kids are swimming in the lake bartosz and magnus try to scare martha with the story about the woman who drowned in the lake, without any of them knowing that their mother's body had been in that lake for almost 33 years...

ok yet another thing about dark: every single show, movie, book, story ive EVER consumed ive always had the thought “i wish i could experience this for the first time again”. dark however is so so intricately crafted that it IS a new experience as a rewatch. knowing everything and rewatching everything makes you notice all the things they foreshadowed extremely early on. its an incredible experience as a rewatch just as much as it is the first time because every single time you notice things you didnt before. it hits every single fucking time.

Jonas Kahnwald sobbing as he walks away from his father, knowing not only did he fail to prevent what's about to happen but he CAUSED it by trying to prevent it- Just stab me. It hurts so bad.

So I’ve just finished rewatching Dark (2017) on Netflix, and I think it’s proof that it’s possible to deliver a high-quality piece of art if that’s genuinely the goal, and if you don’t let the prospect of making more money get in the way, because that show is objectively fucking perfect.

There are no plot holes, no filler episodes, and no room for useless spin-offs, because everything is resolved. You get the sense that the writers knew exactly what they were doing and where the story was going at every single moment of every episode. It’s evident they did extensive research across several fields of study, and yes, it’s crazy, but they still managed to make it make sense. It was carefully and deliberately written, with the story meticulously planned from beginning to end.

The visuals, references, storytelling, mystery, pacing, and symbolism were amazing. The casting was mind-blowing. And the show also had a finale that couldn’t have been better. Not only did it wrap everything up perfectly, but there weren’t even any fan theories that could possibly top it. There couldn’t be. It had to be done exactly the way the writers intended.

And even if there were other ways it could have ended, you wouldn’t bother considering them... because it was perfect as it was. Nothing could have made more sense.

That’s something I’ve rarely seen, if ever.

That’s how a show should be written.

Whenever I finish any show, book, or piece of media I’m always like “yeah that was good but it wasn’t as good as German science-fiction time travel thriller Dark (2017)”

hello Dark fandom. is this something

Its so hard to let yourself be vulnerable if you've grown in a family that is as dysfunctional as it gets, its so hard to not subconsciously wait for the last shoe to drop, its hard believing that you can be loved without being hurt in the process or you can talk about how you feel without it turning into a full blown shame-blame agruement, its hard to make anyone understand why you get scared so easily, well you know in your heart its because all you've ever been was scared, its hard to embrace the warmth of the nurturing, healthy love without being haunted by the alleged 'love' you've known all your life, its hard not to be lookout for things getting thrown at you in an agruement, its hard to believe that you are capable of much more than a small talk with the people you 'love', its hard not to let your mind spiral into the thought that they can use all of the stuff you told them, all of your vulnerability and turn it against you and use it to shame you.

Its hard for people who grew up like this to be 'normal', they require undoing and patience and utter gentleness cause they don't know how to live they only know how to survive.

To everyone who has been through this, I hope when you find the real kind of love, you learn to lean into it and embrace it cause you deserve it.

It's that time of the month again where I search for and like all posts about shitty families because mine are currently acting up.

Someone on twitter said When Life Gives You Tangerines is a female-centric kdrama and when I tell you I RAN to watch it?

But no one warned me it hits you in the face with the most achingly beautiful mother-daughter story. I’m crying and I love them both already.

Gwan-Sik is the only father worthy of calling himself a girl dad in all of kdramaland.

When Life Gives You Tangerines hits so hard like what do you mean it explores what it means to be a daughter and a mother and the complex dynamic of familial relationships including the guilt and the pain and the grief and the love and how the story of three different generations are all tied together and the selflessness of parents and what it feels like to be pillar of the family, the eldest daughter, but also being able to see the other side of things what it feels like to be the younger sibling always having to live up to the comparisons! and how your parents' love never really goes away even as you age what do you mean it's also wonderfully paced with the non-linear storytelling! what do you mean it beautifully portrays the imperfect relationships between broken people it's staggering how they fit all of this into one series that is so well written and performed HOW
