COMPOSITE CHART RISING NOTES
✪ Scorpio rising in the composite can signify one (or both) of you HEAVILY plotting on the other lol. Or just knowing about the other and watching them from afar before getting together
✪ I’ve had 22° Leo rising with multiple friends i met in group settings/through other friends
✪ you might take a lot of pictures when you’re with someone you have Libra rising in the composite with, or you guys might just go on aesthetic outings together
✪ Aries rising relationships can move really fast, the time span between meeting this person and dating/being in a relationship with them may be shorter than normal for you
✪ Virgo rising in the composite can show meeting someone through school, Sagittarius rising can show meeting in college
✪ Having your composite rising with someone be the same as your natal rising can make you feel comfortable around them
✪ it’s also very common to have relationships with people who have the same composite rising with you as your natal rising
✪ The most common rising signs I’ve seen in composite charts of friends/relationships are cancer and Leo rising
I have a liberal arts degree which means I also have a favorite citation style and hate the other ones. If you know you know.
Twin Peaks and the subversion of audience expectation
Twin Peaks seems to be unbothered by the genre's typical style that prides itself in intense plot-driven narrative or an emphasis on cold-hard analysis, instead it goes against almost every rule –
it is a crime drama whose focus isn't about solving the mystery but maintaining the mystery; a crime drama where the protagonist doesn't solve problems with typical masculine logic, but through dreams, a force which is intuitive, mystical, and feminine.
The most impressive thing about this show is its story construct using surrealism which doesn't provide any clear clues of the meanings behind its symbolisms, making it hard to come up with an interpretation universally approved by the majority of the viewers – which is actually the greatest thing about it, as the show isn't worried about alienating the majority of the viewers, instead actively encourages them to engage with its story in a non-judgemental way : "You might be right, but you might also be wrong; either way is okay because I'm noting giving you any definite answers whatsoever."
Another unique thing about Twin Peaks is its atypical focus on the victim – it not only sheds light on her individuality but also portrays her as a human being rather than a lifeless corpse or a fetish symbol (typical for female victims); in fact, she is very much the co-star of the show as half of the story centres on finding out what she was like when she was alive.
The more new tv series I consume, the more I find myself going back to Twin Peaks – it is a truly unique piece of art that hasn't met its rival even to this day. It is one of the rare examples of a high-risk concept successfully executed and well received, the kind of concept I don't think would be green-lit if it's proposed nowadays, given the current industry climate.
there’s a great write up by someone on here that i will have to search for in which they discuss how the ultimate evil for david lynch is sexual violence against women (even more severe than murder, which is often auxiliary to that type of specific violence); twin peaks is incredibly soapy—on purpose! lynch and frost are playing with form and content on purpose to examine incredibly difficult subject matter through a (for lack of a better word) more palatable format—which most of the time i think works to its advantage and makes those moments of visible horror so much more effective (i use “visible” rather than “true” or other similar adjectives because the horror is always there, it’s embedded in the entire town, shows up in every generation we see in screen and we watch them grapple with it in different ways, but that’s a separate post)
however—and i’ve talked about this before—i find that once you’ve watched fire walk with me it is so much harder to watch the show because the ignorance of nearly every single member of the town (yes, including cooper) pervades the way the action unfolds. twin peaks viewers knew the premise of the show going in and we get to discover details and information alongside the characters. when albert rosenfield comes in as the only voice of reason and reality, it’s set up to be jarring to both the townspeople and to the viewer. why?
sheryl lee said in an interview, “fire walk with me was very difficult for me to watch… and, emotionally it’s a reminder: this is a movie, but this continues to happen every day and how can we stop it? when i watch fire walk with me now, as a mother, i watch it and i think look at all those signs that were being exhibited. this girl was in danger, and look at all these people that were in her life. what would have happened if someone, somewhere, somehow could have helped or stopped it? that’s hard to watch.”
much has been discussed critically about fire walk with me and whether or not it’s exploitative in the ways that it portrays sexual violence against women. while lynch does not shy away from making that violence visible, it is done so in an attempt to make the viewer examine their own relationship to that violence and how it shows up in their own lives. the audience is forced to think about the ways that they are complicit in how and why these violent acts occur and what they can do to stop it, which is why for many it is an uncomfortable watch. for others, it is a painful (and speaking from my own perspective) necessary watch because lynch didn’t make a horror movie, he made a documentary.
fire walk with me is necessary (in my humblest of opinions) to understand why the pieces that lynch and frost put into twin peaks work. there’s so much backstory to how they weren’t originally going to reveal who laura palmer’s killer was until ABC made them, lynch wasn’t around during much of the second season so things got a little off the rails storytelling-wise, etc. etc. but fire walk with me allows them to tie difficult, often horrifying threads (ben horne unknowingly attempting to have sex with his daughter, the townspeople’s distancing of albert, the hands of random townspeople trembling as BOB attempts to claw back into the material world, the list goes on and on) back to the central thesis of “sexual violence is the ultimate evil, it is completely avoidable, and you have a responsibility to recognize the signs and stop being complicit”
damn twin peaks really was just like. ok this is our dead girl laura palmer and this is her girlfriend donna and their boyfriend james and james & donna’s girlfriend maddy (who is also laura’s cousin). and this is is laura’s OTHER boyfriend bobby and his girlfriend shelly who is married (FUCK LEO JOHNSON) and this is shelly’s boss norma the love theme plays over a lot of their scenes which is interesting to say the least. and here we have norma’s husband hank and her boyfriend ed and ed’s wife nadine. it goes on basically the entire town is somehow romantically linked to each other. and here to investigate laura’s murder we have special agent dale cooper and his girlfriend diane and his ex albert and coop & albert’s boyfriend harry and his girlfriend josie. also present are the strange number of evil old men obsessed with josie, cooper’s new girlfriend annie, and audrey horne who has a thing for him but he won’t date because she’s 18. also gordon cole. who’s the lady with the log? we call her the log lady.
I have a desk job that’s basically fancy customer service, with a manager who can be a real asshole.
So I was feeling a little cheesed off at work the other day, but then I saw a Twin Peaks post on Twitter that broke through my irritation and made me smile. And I thought to myself, ‘man, if Dale Cooper was here, he would sympathize with me and tell me I’m doing a great job.’
On a related note, did you know that in the U.S. you can use the Walgreens app to print any photo from your camera roll into a full size glossy photograph for less than $3?
rewatching the Ben Horne Morphs Into Robert E Lee subplot made me angry on laura's behalf all over again. when laura was having a crisis, when she was being abused and assaulted and terrorized daily, the town acted like it wasn't happening. meanwhile when ben goes through a crisis people literally re-structure reality to help him through it. they put on a whole play and dress up in costumes and do a civil war reenactment just to make the experience of LOSING PROPERTY a bit easier on him. the town bends over backwards to validate ben's pain in the same way it bent over backwards to hide laura's. i am going to explode
twin peaks is unreal. agent cooper will say something absolutely off the fucking cuff like “now, this is very important: in my dream last night, there was a man with three glasses of water, and when one of the glasses of water broke, the water didn’t spill, it just stayed there, stuck in midair. that’s how i know james couldn’t have done it. now, this is something that’s been really troubling me: at the end of the dream he gave me a slice of rhubarb pie, and man, have i been craving it all morning since! do you know where in town i could get something like that?” and meanwhile sherrif truman is literally twirling his hair and kicking his feet like “teehee whatever you say dale! 🥰 you always have the best ideas <333”

Sherilyn Fenn | Twin Peaks
kyle maclachlan behind the scenes of blue velvet (1986)
I really like how twin peaks is good at making you just slightly uneasy. Ben Horne reciting sonnet 18 for so long he has to be cut off. Random close shots on inconsequential lines of dialogue, for no seeming reason. Audrey breathing heavily and making noise while spying on people. The sound effects from a previous scene playing into the next scene for just a touch too long. Shots going from rigid and artistically symmetrical to chaotic and unbalanced. The way certain frames linger just enough to seem odd. It’s all very erratic but comes together to form a style that really makes you feel mildly uncomfortable
