Propaganda under the cut (spoilers for The Sexy Brutale)

Cure Magical: None :(

Lafcadio Boon: Heavy spoilers in this. He goes through so much. He has to watch his friends get murdered horribly over and over again over the course of a single day. He can't even warn them that they're going to die because he gets chased by their masks and the masks of the staff members who are going to murder them. He has to save them by interacting with the loop outside of their view. The only time he gets to talk to his friends is after he saves them when they take their masks off, but even then, the loop resets afterwards, and they go back to dying again. The big reveal of the game is that he is actually Lucas Bondes, the Marquis of the mansion. Forty years ago, he blew up the mansion to get the insurance money to give his wife and unborn child a new life, but the timers on the bombs went off too early, when all of his friends, his wife, and himself were all still inside. He was the only survivor, and since then, he has tormented himself with the time loop of his friends being murdered inside his mind as a way of remembering them. Lafcadio was one of his friends, a priest, and a father figure to him. He took his form inside the mansion in his mind because he was representative of the fact that he was finally reaching a point where he could forgive himself for what happened.

Jour 3 • Fantôme

When I was little, one of my favorite books was Lafcadio by Shel Silverstein. Not only did it have the amazing illustrations & humorous text by Silverstein, it had a marshmallow-loving lion as its main character! Who wouldn't love that?! * But what really always stuck with me was the end & how Lafcadio realized he wasn't quite a regular lion & he wasn't quite a man. He didn't really belong in either worlds. * As a Korean-American girl, this hit home. I didn't speak Korean & I wasn't very girlish, so I never quite fit in with the other Korean girls. And no matter how hard I tried to fit in & would sometimes forget about my differences with my friends & classmates, a casual comment would often remind me that I didn't quite fit in there either. And the dichotomy was present at home as well, where I grew up as an independent, outspoken American daughter of traditional first-generation parents. Lafcadio didn't provide any answers for me, but I found comfort in seeing internal struggles similar to what I felt written down in a book. I wasn't alone. A marshmallow-loving lion knew exactly how I felt. * #funaekbooks #funaekreads #bookstagram #instabooks #instaread #readbooks #shelsilverstein #lafcadio #lionpugs #puglions #childrensbook

I wonder if that scene where Hannibal flips the gold coin in the air to kind of decide whether or not he should save Bella is a kind of homage to André Gide’s Lafcadio’s Adventures. In it, our main character isn’t necessarily evil, but rather amoral in that he doesn’t do things to be bad or good, so he flips a coin to basically make all of his decisions. It could be argued that Hannibal isn’t evil, with the bad things he does in the world, he has done some good in saving Bella, and literally being a doctor that saved lives. Idk, forgive this, I’m philosophy major trash.

Λευκάδιος Χερν

Ο συγγραφέας Πάτρικ Λευκάδιος Χερν (Patrick Lafcadio Hearn) γεννήθηκε στις 27 Ιουνίου του 1850 στη Λευκάδα (εξ ου και το μεσαίο όνομά του). Πατέρας του ήταν ο ιρλανδός γιατρός Κάρολος Μουσχ Χερν, που υπηρετούσε τότε στα αγγλοκρατούμενα Επτάνησα, και μητέρα του η Ρόζα Κασιμάτη απ’ τα Κύθηρα. Μια μετάθεση του πατέρα του το 1856 στις Ινδίες είχε ως συνέπεια τον χωρισμό των γονέων του. Ο μικρός…

In every direction, the individual finds himself confronted by the despotism of collective opinion: it is impossible for him to act with safety except as one unit of a combination.
