It’s not a ghost story
“Take me with you,” she cried in her heart. “Take me. Drag me down like you did the others.”
But the lady in the lake was different now.
The lady in the lake was also Dani.
And Dani wouldn’t.
Dani would never.
thinking about dani visiting jamie every night to make sure she’s safe because that woman never closes the goddamn door
how jamie has probably remained unharmed all those years because dani made sure of it
not jamie initially saying that she'd rather be shot if she ever got dementia because she wouldn't be able to stand fading away and losing parts of herself, only to end up screaming "its you! its me! its us!" in her mind when she sees dani under the water, knowing fully well that to be the lady of the lake would mean just that--fading away and losing all her parts until only a hollow shell remains--but because her love for her one and only moonflower literally outweighed all the selfishness she may have had in the past, jamie just doesn't care anymore oh no i've made myself sad
“Dani and Jamie don’t have a happy ending, but they have a happy middle. A happy one day at a time. A happy ever after, in a way.”
Are the kids awake? Um… no. No, they’re asleep.
We have a problem, because I’m not sick of you. At all. I’m actually pretty in love with you, it turns out.
THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR
1x04 - The Way It Came
****SPOILERS FOR BLY MANOR, CUT PAST THIS ONE***
Bly Manor is, in many ways, a story about gut-wrenchingly human people trying to maintain their agency in and around the one thing we will all experience: Death. Viola, Perdita, Peter, Rebecca, Hannah, Owen, Dani, Jamie, Henry, even the kids and some of the background ghosts. In their own way, they were each trying to cling to whatever power they could hold over their death, after their death, or in their response to someone else's death. Some of them made the right choice, and some of them didn't.
Bly Manor is layer upon layer of tragedy so bitter that you even feel bad for the worst of characters. If there is a real Hell in this world, I'm sure Peter Quint is in it, but I'm not happy to see him there.
The brilliance of this show, however, is that it doesn't end on a bitter tragedy, but on a sweet one. Yes, Dani dies, and it's not fair, but Death rarely is. Unlike the others, however, she maintained maximal agency over her fate, and she did it without hurting other people. That's how I interpret the scene before she leaves Jamie for the Manor. She knows she could put off the inevitable a little longer if she's willing to hurt someone else to do it, but she refuses to.
Death is scary and unavoidable, but she made her death meaningful by saving Flora and ending the cycle of violence and suffering that turned Bly into a gravity well. In a line of sad, imperfect people crushed by their own suffering, ready to burn everything around them at any moment, Dani chose to leave more life behind her. That's the sweetness that washes away the bitter drink that the story is for 8 episodes. That's why I love this show so much.
We see, what looks like, Dani’s hand on Jamie’s shoulder at the very end of the series. Do you think Dani visited Jamie before?
THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR

That whole monologue where Owen talks about how the children from Bly Manor deserve to be able to forget everything that happened to them is just so sad to me. Because the only reason Miles and Flora can live normal, unaffected lives is because of what Dani did for them. She literally bears the suffering and fear and anger so that they don’t have to- and so that none of the other trapped souls have to either. And that’s already so sad in itself, but then Owen just talks about how nice it must be for the kids to be able to forget (and it’s not his fault- he doesn’t know what Dani has going on). But Dani’s just sitting right there!! Listening to that!! And she’ll never be able to forget what happened. Ever. And the kids will never know what she did for them either.
And that’s the point, I guess. Unlike Viola, who was a gravity well, pulling everyone else down to her level, Dani let herself sink so that everyone else could walk a little bit lighter. And it’s poetic and selfless and beautiful, yes, but it also just sucks...I bet Jamie would agree.
Just want to state publicly if there are any hill house/bly manor ghosts chilling behind me when I walk through my house you’re all good please don’t make yourself known you’re doing great back there.
Thank you for coming to my dead talk.
Being 4’11 is so hard sometimes, for real.
Damn, this so true. I remember in 4th grade I couldn’t reach nothing
