I find it so funny that people are shocked and freaking out that Mark knows about the bloodymary ship as if he wasn't saying shit like this on this very site back in 2015

I don't even go here but damn do I respect that answer. I have literally never seen anything this man has ever made, but I'm gonna watch Iron Lung at some point in the near future (I played the game when it came out) and I'm looking forward to it.

More celebrities should really be Just Some Guy.

Don't get me wrong, it's also very entertaining when somebody gets rich and famous and decides to get incredibly weird with it in ways that they only can because they're rich and famous. But it's so much more relatable and also I think they're happier as people when they just continue to live their life as Some Guy instead of acting rich and famous.

Preserving 'The Boy' movie's tumblr page for posterity (neat backstory info for fanfic writers!). I used the wayback machine.

(And for those who can't read the words on the images)

The real Brahms:

Margaret Heelshire sat in the headmaster’s office at her son’s school. She was furious to hear that her perfect little Brahms was to be expelled from school for tormenting the other children and threatening teachers. She dragged Brahms through the halls tightening her grip as he tried to get away. At the car he calmly looked up at her , “They deserved it. They weren’t behaving.” “We don’t hurt others.” Margaret raised her hand and Brahms pulled furiously away as it flew back toward him.

Newspaper clipping:

At least one has been confirmed dead in the fire at the Heelshire mansion. A distraught Margaret Heelshire was pulled from the flames and firefighters continued to search for her 8-year-old son, Brahms. The Heelshire boy is believed to be dead, but remains are yet to be found. No other details have been released at this time.

After the fire:

Days after the fire a large crate arrived at the door. Inside was a porcelain doll, in the likeness of her precious boy Brahms. Margaret looked at it and felt that familiar tightness. Fear. She gingerly lifted the doll’s limp body out of the crate and sat back with him in her lap. She coaxed his head up onto her shoulder, the porcelain from the doll’s face was cool against hers.

Greta:

They had tried to hire nannies in the past to care for Brahms. The Brahms that came after the fire. Half a dozen at least had come and gone. Some didn’t take it seriously, others were frightened and left claiming there was something off about the house, about him. It didn’t matter. None were acceptable to Brahms. Greta was the first, and he chose her.

The rules:

If Greta was to be safe she needed to understand what taking care of Brahms meant. What it required. Mr. and Mrs. Heelshire sat and carefully crafted a list for her. No Guests. Play Music Loud. Read A Bedtime Story. Never Leave Brahms Alone. There was much more to keeping safe in this house, but she would find that out soon.

The real story:

The Boy is a frightening thrill ride directed by William Brent Bell (The Devil Inside) starring Lauren Cohan (“The Walking Dead”).

Greta (Cohan) is a young American woman who takes a job as a nanny in a remote English village, only to discover that the family’s 8-year-old is a life-sized doll that the parents care for just like a real boy, as a way to cope with the death of their actual son 20 years prior. After violating a list of strict rules, a series of disturbing and inexplicable events bring Greta’s worst nightmare to life, leading her to believe that the doll is actually alive.

I have so many thoughts about all this! This was a wellspring of information, seriously, thank you so much @ms-edelweiss for showing me the old boy movie tumblr!

Anyway, onto my TED talk.

To start off, we have a name for Mrs. Heelshire! Margret! Woohoo!

We also find out why Brahms didn't have any friends except Emily Cribbs, he most likely had a little baby crush on her. But the fact that he tormented other kids and threatened teachers just proves there's something wrong with him, so much so that he was expelled from school. At this point he's just a bully, but could he have gotten that from his mothers upbringing? Clearly she spoiled him, as seen in the movie proper, but also in the description of "her perfect little Brahms" in the first paragraph. She scolds him saying not to hit others, as she raises a hand to strike him. Could this have been a nature vs nurture scenario or a bit of both? Was she abusive or just didn't know how to deal with her son being a brat and bully?

The newspaper clipping:

I dislike the wording "confirmed" when just a sentence later they say he's "believed" to be dead with no remains found. I would have used either "presumed dead" or "legally declared dead". I know confirmed can also mean legally declared dead, but it just makes it sound as if there was physical confirmation. That's just my hang up tho 🙃

After the fire:

Ok this one kinda punches a hole in many head cannons that the doll was made by Brahms. Days after the fire, the doll appears. It also kinda messes the time line IF we assume the movie took place in 2016 the same year the movie came out. In the movie Malcolm states the doll appeared 20 years ago and the last blurb confirms that. Which means that Brahms has to be 28 in the movie. Which would set the movie's year at 2011! Dob-1983, dod-1991. 8 years + 20 years = 28. So 28 years from 1983 = 2011.

It also punches a hole through my head cannon that the heelshires didn't force him into the walls permantly till he was about 13 but again that was my little headcannon.

It doesn't clear up whether going into the walls was Brahms or the parents idea, nor who started the fire.

What it does confirm is that mrs heelshire is a little bit nutty, literally DAYS after almost losing her real son, she orders a doll to to replace him??? Was this plan to replace him in the works for a while??? How did she find a doll maker to custom make a doll that looked just like 8 yo Brahms and have it shipped to the house in a manner of DAYS?? I call shenanigans! This kind of cements the idea that the heelshires planned to rid themselves of Brahms before he killed Emily. Emily's murder might have just moved the attempted murder of Brahms up a few weeks.

Greta:

OMG this is BIG y'all! He didn't kill the other nannies! They were scared off or were fired for not taking it seriously. So either Brahms was lying or just referring to Emily and Cole when he yells "just like the others!" Half a dozen or so, so probably 7 other nannies, and I'm guessing it wasn't just when he was an adult either.

The rules:

So this also kind of plays into my head cannon that the rules and I'm assuming the schedule as well was more for the nanny than Brahms. The rules, to help keep brahms hidden and taken care of and the schedule, to keep nanny busy and a timeline brahms could use to know where nanny was and when and for how long.

This movie never ceases to intrigue me!

The best part about LOTR/The Hobbit is that you go in expecting elves to be like moral paragons of light, but every elven lore drop ends up being, “and the elves stirred up shit again”

one of the underrated lessons from lotr's Aragorn is to avoid responsibility for as long as humanly possible, possibly in the woods, possibly without showering, until the small folk need you or whatever

the joy of working with middle school aged children is that, regardless of how long you've been doing it, they will always find novel ways to annoy and confuse you, which is okay because that's the natural state of the middle school aged child. anyway suffice it to say that for the past three weeks of school my 6th grade class has been greeting me at my door by lining up outside of it, playing the national anthem, and saluting me as i walk in.

THIS IS NOT AN EXPEDITION...

ITS AN EXECUTION.

[funkylittlebats]

Iron Lung is great bc it asks the question what if the sacrificial lamb was evil. What if the lamb thought itself evil. What if everyone else thought the lamb evil. What if the lamb wasn't evil what if the lamb is just a lamb, bleeting desperately to escape its undue sacrifice. What if the lamb knew it was a sacrifice from the start. What if the lamb just wanted to live. What if the lamb wanted to live so fucking bad. What if the lamb wanted the flock to live more. What if the lamb accepts its own sacrifice, leans into the glinting knife, in the hopes that the flock survives.
