THE HAUNTING: just lesbians saying fuck

Thinking abt how Dani tends to walk at super speed everywhere and Jamie tends to saunter much more slowly and how they’d have to hold hands if they were walking anywhere together to achieve a speed equilibrium

Hello, yes, ‘tis I once again thinking about how queerness is employed in Bly Manor, particularly in the very final shot of Dani’s hand on Jamie’s shoulder.

That visual combo of the ring on Dani’s finger plus the pink sweater is one of my absolute favorite artistic choices in the entire finale (which is saying something). And I’m obviously not the first one to interpret the two together to mean that even if a part of Dani died in that sweater at the lake when she invited the Lady in, her life with Jamie was still more than real enough to become a part of the ghostly echo watching over Jame.

But I do think it’s also worth point out the connection between that final ring scene and the first one, when Dani proposes. In a way, the very presence of the ring in the final shot is a parallel of Dani’s line in the proposal scene, “And I know we can’t technically get married, but I also don’t really care. We can wear the rings and we’ll know.”

Dani and Jamie’s relationship is never recognized for what it is; by the law and likely by some of their blood relatives and acquaintances (if they ever find out about it in the first place). The rings they wear have no bearing in the context of the Official Rules of the wider world they live in—but they both know, and the people who care about them know, that the rings symbolize something much more significant and real than a lot of people will ever experience. This in and of itself is obviously a queer read on life and love, through and through. But it’s also not where the story ends.

That Dani’s ghost is wearing the pink sweater in the final shot says, “This is where it was supposed to end.” This is where Dani as we know her was supposed to end. Anything that happens after the lake happens on borrowed time. The Laws of Ghostly Mechanics don’t recognize Dani’s life after the lake as life in the same way that she was alive before the lake.

That Dani’s ghost is wearing the ring in the final shot says, “Actually, fuck that. If I wasn’t going to let state and federal law dictate the legitimacy of my relationship with my life partner, I’m sure as hell not going to let the Laws of Ghostly Mechanics do it, either.” And because this parallels the proposal, it is absolutely a specifically queer read on life and love, like before, and on the preternatural rules that have dictated so much of the struggle and tragedy in the rest of the show.

Why does no one ever talk about how lexa’s gloves are pretty much the skeleton gloves from party city that every elementary student wore because they thought they were cool

Okay nvm they’re better

[oneanddone-thirdtimesthecharm]

Omg how did I not realize this

[leighlew3]

The real MVP is Alycia Debnam-Carey being willing to come back as Lexa for not just one, but two key scenes. Extended scenes, no less.

Some people love their fans and understand what certain roles mean to them. Some people GET it. Cherish those actors.
