sorry just thinking abt dogbones again what do u Mean norah sleeps over at the wisps house all the time bc her parents r working. do u think they have matching pjs
Another thing I’m noticing, in UPP in general, is how little William is keyed onto by the monsters and dangers of Deadwood. He has to yell and physically draw attention to himself for them to even Notice him. This paired with what he says to Mal in like, their FIRST meeting of “I’m used to people looking through me” is sooo interesting to me.
He’s the only one of the UPP to have never gotten properly isolated from the group, not while being in immediate danger. Back in UPP1.3 he was alone in the church for a bit, yes, but it was the One Time the Priest Wasn’t There to Hunt, because it was too preoccupied with Isaac. The closest we currently have to William being faced with something like this comparatively (Isaac and the Priest in UPP1 / Norah with Doctor Guerrero, her bout of madness / Norah with her dad in the forest / Isaac with his dad and Mr Abraham / Lui and Mr Abraham) is him and Lui’s grandma, but seeing as they know how to banish her and have all the tools necessary, it’s a lot less horrifying or dangerous compared to the rest of his friends.
This AND the fact Williams family is the only one that Canonically manage to Survive this. Norah has a major chance of loosing her dad, Isaac’s already lost HALF of his family, and Lui’s lost his grandma to the stryga. Like horrible things Definitely happen to the Wisp family, like Will’s mom getting sick with the Bug Disease in UPP1, but she survives it!!! Despite how shit Williams luck is he’s never suffered a bout of madness, and in the season where everyone’s family’s are in constant life threatening danger, the fact that the Wisps (for now at least LOL) are completely physically fine feels almost kind of odd.
Maybe this is Chronic Wisperer Brained Guy Syndrome, but it’s something that really stuck out to me,,,,
willnorah is such a dear ship to me because the moment you think about it it becomes So So Sad. Like yeah there are these two kids who are lonely and don't fit in but have the same sense of humor and overlapping interests and are willing to basically do anything for each other . but also when William Leaves he takes all their memories with him in a way because Norah can't grieve someone she doesn't know is dead . Depending on if they even know he's a hero, Norah could have just been left wondering if their friendship meant anything to him at all . were they even friends? was all of it some mean joke? because norah Was Worried about that in upp1 . one of her first lines ever Are We Not Friends
AUGH.... they drive me crazy. Don't have much to add here i agree with all of this. Idk if im just saying this because deltarunes been on my mind but they are so kriselle 2 me....
When Norah got in her dads car, i immediately was like "Norah PLEASSEE dont get taken to the second location"
BIZLY IS SO FUCKING GOOD AT HORROR CAMPAIGNS OH MY GOD I LOVE HIM.
The way that Norah cried out for William first 💔💔
Im genuinely so flabbergasted by that ending that like. What tf do u mean i have to wait for episode 4, THAT WAS THE BIGGEST CLIFFHANGER EVERRRR
So like...what happened to Bella?? I have a hard time believing that she died along with her dad but also like, im so confused?? Why was her stuff gone? And why would she be gone? No one banished her? Cause i was gonna say that if the ritual that Abrams did banished ALL the undead then thatd be one thing, but Lui's Grandma is still there so hhmmmmm.
Bizly, when i catch you Bizly, when I catch you Bizly.
First Im hella stressed about Isaac, then im hella stressed about Lui, now im hella stressed about Norah and Williams gonna fall off a cliff and die. What even is the point
...will keeps assuming lui's grandma is putting up a front still. he also did this last episode. which as we may recall, featured him hiding in the woods from her as she hunted him.
buddy, i think this is gonna be what kills you at this rate.
I don't think I've ever been more scared in my life than I was during this episode. Holy fuck.
I thought Norah was a gonner for sure, she has 2hp guys, I'm terrified for her. God I hope they find her soon.
Also Isaac's sister being dead? Absolutely heartbreaking.
Also also, they keep finding out people who they love are dead. And it's got me thinking, we know William dies soon, I definitely think it wouldn't be surprising if he dies in the last episode. But now I'm thinking about it he's already dead, he keeps watching his friends lose their loved ones. He probably feels so guilty that he came back still him while everyone else are monsters.
Hey. Does anyone else ever think about how the UPP kids probably move through the world like they’re always in danger, even when there’s not an actual case on their hands?
William “I have to blink manually” Wisp takes a supernatural defense go bag on everyday outings. He’s always ready, always vigilant, enough so that we know he’s had false positives in the past. Everything that moves wrong is a potential threat, and this is a boy who jumps at shadows. Everything is a threat
Norah has anxiety. Worse yet, auditory hallucinations that she has to use a camcorder to differentiate from reality. After all, any awful sound she hears could be real. She’s heard horrible, impossible yet entirely real things before. She tries to save her sanity by falling back on rational defense mechanisms, but how far can that really get her living in Deadwood?
The threats that haunt Isaac’s everyday life aren’t as illusory as the rest of the team. Fear is something that lives in the same house as him. Just existing puts him at risk of incurring punishment and the feeling of dread is probably as familiar to him as the sound of a car pulling into the driveway. His life itself might not be at risk, but that’s a cold comfort
Lui…he’s an expert on the occult. If you’re always thinking about something, you start to see it everywhere. And things only get worse with Empty Graves (spoilers below the cut) -
because even he couldn’t pick up on the fact that he was living in complete ignorance with his dead and decaying grandmother. I can’t imagine a world in which this kid is ever able to trust his grasp on reality again. Anything and everything could be monstrous
Not to mention just the straight up traumatic aspect of everything that goes down in Deadwood. Bodies, blood, loss of autonomy, neighbors gutting each other, death, mortal terror. This entire environment is like Miracle-Gro for long term psychological issues. I wish all of UPP a very please see a therapist
