Steven Crain + Kindness
The Haunting of Hill House (2018) Ep. 6 Two Storms - Steven CrainÂ
This was honestly heartbreaking, though. I donât get why everybody hates him. Heâs dealing with trauma like everybody else just in a different way.Â
My favorite part about this show
is how it was written. Like the formatting. Each episode is dedicated to a specific character. First we get the perspective of the eldest, Steven Crane. Ep 2 follows Shirley, then we get Theo, then Luke, then Nellie. After Nellie is Hugh (the dad) and then we get Oliviaâs perspective (the mom). For the children itâs told oldest to youngest and then the most important character in the story is saved for last (the mom).
It follows the same pattern of withholding information that the scenes do, which makes it so scary.
For example, when that couple meets with Shirley and Kevin to organize the viewing for their mother. They talk about how their son really doesnât want to do the viewing. So she goes and talks to him and he says essentially that he doesnât need to say goodbye because grandma visits every night and pets his head. But then he says an off comment about how her eyes must be tired. And so Shirley asks why he says that. âBecause she doesnât blink.â TERRIFYING. But anyway...
me: i find the most depressing part of the haunting of hill house to be that itâs pretty obvious it was all already.. done. their fate was sealed the moment they entered the building. nell started seeing Her Own Ghost before olivia started having her âstrange dreamsâ. olivia was tricked into thinking she could do something about the terrifying future awaiting her children, but ultimately was the cause of their suffering. she wanted to change the future events but her knowledge about them affected her actions so essentially the future caused what happened in the past just the same as the past caused what happened in the future? which is a fairly common theme in movies, but i think whatâs unique about this is-
psychiatrist: iâm sorry but thereâs another patient waiting so can you just tell me which meds do you need?
What is heartbreaking about Steven is the fact the never was actually haunted.
It makes sense why he didnât believe, and why he thought mental illnesses ran in the family. He was never actually haunted by a ghost. The primary experience he had was when he gave his mother the vanity, and then she broke the mirror right in front of him.
He looked terrified and hurt when she broke the mirror. He spent hours on the project, and she shattered the mirror. At that moment, Steven didnât recognize his mother, and he was scared of her.
Steven watched as his mother became more and more ill (in his mind). He watched as Nell become terrified of her night terrors and of bent-neck lady.
Steven never had a ghost follow him around like Theo, Luke, and Nell. He didnât witness banging on the walls as Shirley and Theo did. He didnât see visions of his family dying as his mother did.
He watched as his family gradually became self-destructive. He witnessed how his father was seen as mad, and he witnessed how it affect his family.
Steven would have been better off to see a ghost. He would have been better off to see shadows behind him. Because that way he knows that what is happening isnât his fault.
He blames himself for his motherâs death.
He blames himself for Nellâs death.
He would blame himself if his children turned out like him.
Stevenâs version of the house is his mother becoming insane. Itâs her ruining a gift he made her. Itâs her having outbursts. Itâs her getting migraines very often. Itâs Nell not sleeping because of bent-neck lady.
Stevenâs version is harsh reality.
Steven turned out the way he was because of his experience from the house. There wasnât a ghost to blame. There wasnât a bad spirit presence to blame. It was his motherâs mental state.
He was in denial that his mother really was sick, and he missed his mother. He lost the woman she was before the house. Before she broke the mirror. Before she talked to herself in rooms. Before all of it.
Steve wrote the book for closure. Was he right? Maybe not. But he was going bankrupt. He needed the money, and the only sibling to dislike the idea was Shirley. All the others said they werenât comfortable, but they still were okay with him publishing it.
Steven became skeptical of everything. And even when he was skeptical of Nellâs mental state or Lukeâs addiction, he still helped them.
He still gave Luke two hundred dollars, when he could have thrown Luke on the street.
He still offered Nell his home when his father called him.
He doesnât deserve the hate heâs getting. His childhood is messed up. He didnât see any ghosts when he was at the house. He didnât get haunted. He saw reality. He truly believed his mother killed herself because of her mental state, and he honestly thought he was broken.
^^ this tbh Shirley pissed me off more than Steve lmao
Honestly the biggest plot twist in The Haunting of Hill House, is that Abigail was real the whole time lol.
This fucked me up. What I donât understand is if she was real the whole time, how did nobody else see her? Like Steven kept calling her an imaginary friend but sheâd be standing on the edge of the tree line or sheâd literally be in their house. Yet he never saw her.
I guess it could be the houseâs manipulation because of that part when they couldnât find Nellie but she was actually there the whole time.
Why it isnât Starlordâs fault
Okay, I need to make a post about this because it's so fucking frustrating. And it's honestly ridiculous that like I have to make this post.
First of all, you guys need to have a little bit more sympathy. Peter Quill had to watch his mother die when he was a child, he was scared and traumatized. And then is left alone by his family, so he runs outside where he is IMMEDIATELY KIDNAPPED by people who look like they want to hurt him. This is Yondu's crew were talking about. And we know Yondu made jokes about it from gotg2. Then in gotg2 he finds his real dad, then finds out his dad killed his mom (and that his dad never really loved his mom etc), so he has to kill his dad 1) for revenge and 2) because if he doesn't, Ego will kill him and all his friends. After that he has to watch his father figure die in his arms as he realizes that he's had a dad all along. And has to deal with the guilt from that, insert sad speech from Yondu's funeral. At this point he's lost a lot and has been through a lot of emotional stuff. We know that he has emotional outbursts from both Gotg movies, so it's not that surprising that he freaked out in IW. Now, about IW, he just lost the love of his life after being through all that, so ya he's gonna freak out, BECAUSE HE'S A HUMAN BEING WITH EMOTIONS. Literally everybody in that position would do the same thing don't @ me. And if he didn't react, y'all would still be hating on him like: wHy DiDnT hE rEaCt DiDnT hE lOvE gAmOrA 1!??1?!? It's exactly what people are doing about Steve's so called "non reaction" to Bucky.
Ok so that aside, there is legitimate reasoning to not blame Quill even if you have an inability to feel empathetic for him. And it lies in the final act of the film and has everything to do with Dr. Strange.
When they end up on Titan and are developing a plan to beat Thanos, Dr. Strange sees what? like billions of possible outcomes of their fight. And out of ALL of them, they only win 1. This is at the beginning of being on Titan, that Dr. Strange knows exactly what is going to happen/needs to happen in order for them to beat Thanos in the end. Right before Strange dissolves away, he says to Tony âit was the only wayâ, meaning that there, again, is only one timeline where they ultimately win, but that Dr. Strange was successful in making that happen. Everything that happened on Titan and in Wakanda after Strange saw the ultimate futures, was what was SUPPOSED to happen in order for them to win in the end. Dr. Strange knew after seeing the future, that the only way they would ultimately win, would be by him giving Thanos the time stone and them temporarily losing. Thatâs why he gave it up in exchange for Tonyâs life, it wasnât just for Tony, because right before, when they met, Strange said how if it came down to it, he wouldnât hesitate to let either of them die, in order to protect the time stone. Strange didnât get THAT attached to Tony, in that amount of time, there was other motivation in saving his life: Tony is the one who will save them all.Â
Going back to Quill, it didnât matter what he did in that moment because they were never going to get the gauntlet off. Strange knew that, the gauntlet plan was a distraction for tony, peter, and the guardians. Theyâre superheroes, theyâre not going to just give up, so Strange didnât tell anybody. Not that they would trust him anyway. Had he told them they would have been like âbullshitâ and got sucked into the âthereâs gotta be another wayâ which would fuck everything up. Again, the ONE timeline where they win is the one where Strange doesnât tell them.
The ONE timeline required them giving up the time stone, so in whatever alternate timeline where they somehow got the gauntlet off, they still lost somewhere down the line. So, Quillâs âfuck-upâ was actually extremely important and critical for everything to go according to plan. And if getting the gauntlet off was what would help them, donât you think Dr. Strange would have teleported his ass somewhere else?? Strange didnât stop Quill because it NEEDED TO HAPPEN IN ORDER FOR THEM TO ULTIMATELY WIN. Even if there was a version where Quill didnât react physically like he did in this one, it didnât matter because it wasnât the timeline in which they won.Â
You can go through the whole movie and create a tally of all the times the characters fucked up and could have prevented the snap, here are a few:
- Wanda and Cap refusing to kill vision at the beginning. Had they killed him then, it would have been much more difficult for Thanos to get the mind stone
-Dr. Strange refusing to leave the fight with Ebony Maw when Tony told him to. Had he left then, Tony, Peter, and Strange would have never ended up on Titan and they would have been able to protect the time stone for longer.
-Gamora trying to beat Thanos to Knowhere and not going right. Had she not tried beating Thanos they would have never ended up in that situation and he wouldnât have taken Gamora. Had she gone right, the circumstances would have been different as well.Â
-Thor going for the head instead of the chest (this one is similar to the Quill situation since it takes place after Strange sees the ultimate futures, so I donât really count this one).Â
*Important to note: the âone timelineâ thing only applies to the events that occur after Strange sees the future, because they are based on what has happened so far, and an inability to fix past fuck ups made by the characters. But, Iâm assuming that the timelines in which Strange used the stone to go back in time and fix those mistakes, didnât help in ultimately beating Thanos...
You can blame the Avengers or the Guardians all you want, I just find it ironic that the one character who is actually to blame, isnât being blamed at all. Infinity War. Is. Thanosâ. Fault. THANOS. The literal villain of the fuckiiiinnnggg movie is to blame.Â
What do you think about the hate Star-Lord is getting?
I think itâs not fair. I think if any of our Avengers were told what he was told they would have gone off and done the same thing he did.Â
In fact one of the Avengers did do the same thing he did. Tony did in Civil War when he found out Bucky killed his parents. He was told by Steve to calm down and donât do this and he did it anyways.
The same situation with Peter and Thanos. And we all know that if hypothetically speaking if it was Pepper, Tony would not have kept his cool and he would have done the same thing. And thatâs speaking for all The Avengers as well. If there loved one was done in by Thanos they would have reacted the same way.
So I donât hate Star-Lord for what he did whatsoever nor do I blame him. Any one of the Avengers would have acted the same way he did if it was them in his situation.
THANK YOU RE FUCKIN TWEET
Was anybody else hoping for Loki to turn into a snake an escape Thanos?
I have no idea what the situation is with the MCU cast and Steven Weintraub and, given my feelings on the franchise and Collider, I donât really care but the amount of people saying that he MUST have done something to set them off is frankly a bit unsettling, for lack of a better word.
I just read it was Mackie being a dick; which is nothing new for him (if itâs true) đđ¤ˇđžââď¸ âŚâŚ..This press tour is falling apart & Iâm so giddy about it đđ
Wait, he has done some questionable shit before? Sorry, Iâm not familiar with his messy behavior.
Yeah he went off on Weintraub a couple of years ago when Weintraub said he liked Man Of Steel.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP6LkvXN5LY
Ok first of all, that interview was cut to make Mackie look bad, he already said that in another interview. He explained that he didn't just hate Man of Steel, he just didn't like where they went with the character of superman, but he liked what they did in B v S. He's just a huge fan of the character. The douche from collider warped it to make it seem like Mackie was oUt Of CoNtRoL yElLiNg At HiM when Mackie was calm the whole time.
I think it's pretty clear that the interviewer tried to pull shit like that again and Mackie wasn't having it. And considering how dramatic his take on it was in the description of the original interview with Mackie, I'm sure that he wasn't "yelled at for 4 straight minutes".
Giveaway #3 [ends May 1st, 2018]
For this month, I will be giving away a two volume set of Riyad as-Saliheen.
It basically mentions famous hadith and then gives commentary on them and isnât too hard to understand.
So yes, like always, reblog to enter, anyone can enter.
i just want all of my minor followers to know that if an older man on tumblr or in real life for that matter tells you that youâre mature for your age he doesnât mean it heâs not your friend and his intentions are bad
I donât mean to be *that person but this applies to relationships with older women as well
Me: *shows basic human decency to cashier
Cashier: ??!?! Thank you! Youâre the nicest person ever!
Me: are you ok
Reblog if politeness to retail and service workers is important to you.
I (always do but last week in particular stood out) said thank you to a bus driver and they legit looked like Iâd just proposed. Come on itâs so easy to be nice!
When I was going to a public school in Florida I'd say thank you everyday to the bus driver just out of habit as I was leaving and I think he really appreciated it cause I never heard anybody else say thank you.....
