id: Perhaps the greatest horror of Jackson's haunting is not that the house seduces Eleanor into literally sacrificing herself for the sake of belonging, but that having done so, it still does not let her belong. Eleanor may imagine herself to be joining the ghostly children who try to enter her room, sing to her, hold her, and ask her for help, but this promised intimacy is as delusive as any other in Hill House. In Kahane's terms, Eleanor has given her life to become "everything" and has become nothing. The house does not want her any more than anyone else does; it wants her dead. After all, whatever walks in Hill House walks alone.

what i'm looking forward to in future seasons of iwtv is the audience realizing armand isn't this passionless and remote ophidian who slithers inconspicuously in and out of frame and loves to feign detachment from his little cuck chair. and i want the audience to realize in the same context we did when we read the books, namely when armand first met lestat and became so horribly angry his face almost melted off the bone

[carnadelions-deactivated2024010]

like it's completely fair that this is people's general impression of him so far because he does come across that way in iwtv and devil's minion. but he's legitimately the most openly needy and emotional character in the books and if they want to do that reveal right they need to tell it from lestat's pov because that is literally the (1) guy armand always sheds his skin around. which is objectively hilarious because lestat wants exactly none of it
