Keep reading
this is so interesting, wow! im so glad i just found your blog so i could see this, because it really gives me a lot to think about. i get this vibe that there is a lot of “hate for tate” in this fandom. maybe there wasn’t before, but now there is since apocalypse. ive just gotten into american horror story, so i don’t really know. that’s right, i never watched it before. i just recently finished murder house, and its the only season ive seen so far. ive seen a lot clips for apocalypse though, and have been following it pretty closely ever since i saw some people i follow blog about michael. that’s literally how i got into this show…seeing michael on my dash.
anyway, i won’t sit here and bash either one, but i just wanna say these are some great points in my opinion! tate is such a fascinating character, and reading this just gives me some things to ponder, so thank you!
hey!! i can’t believe you’ve read, liked and replied to this post, thanks a lot :) “hate for tate” is right, it’s always been a thing, and up until apocalypse i could understand why people felt that way. what he did to vivien truly is unforgivable, especially because season 1 had quite the open ending and it wasn’t clear whether tate was really to blame for his actions or not. the thing is season 8 has pretty much confirmed what i’ve always thought about him (no, he’s not a psychopath, he was just used by the murder house to bring forth a much more evil creature… sorry for the spoilers, btw??)
anyway, thanks for your input again! it’s good to know my thoughts make sense somehow.
no problem! :)
youre right. everything was very open ended in murder house. i actually thought that i had another episode to go when it ended like it did. then an episode for asylum was coming up next, and i was like wait what?! that’s it?! haha, so yeah, they definitely had a cliffhanger and the way they left things obviously allowed them to return to the idea all these years later, which i think is pretty cool. ive never seen anything like this show before.
anyway, i agree what he did to vivien was absolutely horrible and violet had every right not to forgive him for that, especially since that was her mom! but i would definitely say that them revealing in s8 that he was just used by the house changes things. and you don’t have to apologize for the spoilers! it’s my own fault for looking into it, haha. i don’t have regular tv, so i have to wait forever for it to come to netflix, and im impatient, so yeah.
i can totally see what you’re saying. thanks for sharing your thoughts! :)
yeah, i believe they’d left it open-ended precisely so that they could revisit their story in a future season. i still remember HOW PAINFUL it was back then, to have it end like that, with no prospect of ever seeing those characters again :(
i am an anxious mess and can never wait for new seasons to go to netflix, oops. i truly recommend season 8, it was my second favorite (murder house will be a hard one to top in my heart), but you should watch season 3 first, as you probably already know, because many of the coven characters make a comeback in apocalypse as well. cody fern’s acting is downright amazing in every scene <3

it’s the craziest thing ever to see people defending the actual spawn of satan while accusing a mentally troubled but still human kid clearly influenced by demonic forces. i’m not even making this post to hate on anyone because i love both of them (let’s not talk about what that makes me...), i’m just really surprised that people would rather defend the antichrist in this case. their journeys parallel each other in many moments, but in essence they’re far from similar.
unless i’m reading the show all wrong, which is always a possibility, tate was manipulated by the evil forces of the murder house to do the things he did. even madison realized that. (sidenote: i used to be part of the fandom back in s1, so i remember many people believed in a theory that claimed tate had an evil alter ego or twin, whom he actually saw as a bloodied version of himself behind ben in the noble war speech... his character has been fragmented and incoherent from the beginning, which is AMAZING for storytelling. i’m not saying i believe that, but i wouldn’t completely discard it, either).
back to the point: tate had zero powers to make someone’s soul cease to exist, for example. from the little we know about him before everything went downhill (aka constance saying he had “the soul of a poet”, and the school teacher saying he “didn’t seem like a bad kid” before the shooting), he had concrete chances of having been a normal teenager. (i know that’s what most people say about psychopaths too, but i’m giving him the benefit of the doubt because we have no direct evidence of his behavior from before, which is not the case with michael, because there was never a before... i’ll get back to that in a bit). he was already vulnerable and conflicted when the langdons moved into the house, as most teenagers tend to be, but his mother’s... poor conduct, to say the least, made it much worse because it gave him a very solid reason to be angry. so the malign forces there took advantage of those ideal conditions to use him as a vessel, and that would explain why he seemed to act so differently in 8x06 than he did in the entirety of s1. damn, he even rejected michael, his hella cool killing machine of a child who was almost begging to get to know him?? if he truly were a remorseless psychopath, he wouldn’t have done that, nor would he have saved vivien from annihilation. so yeah, tate’s lack of remorse is debatable.
now, if you really believe in ben’s diagnosis, you’ll read this and roll your eyes because you think i don’t get it at all. and that’s okay, we all have different readings. but it’s hard to deny that every ghost in that house followed a sort of dark “script”. let’s take moira as an example. she was essentially good as a human, she was not to blame for the circumstances in which she died (as far as i remember, it’s been a while since i’ve last rewatched), but she was still involved in the murder of innocent people. because that’s what the house will do to whoever gets trapped there. the harmons were an exception because the whole family ended up dying together, so it was relatively “easier” to stay sane and fight the evil there. they were special in that sense because they broke the pattern of hate and resentment the house was filled with.
another undeniable fact is that michael was born with only one purpose: to bring about the apocalypse. there was no way that the child of a human and a ghost could have been good. shortly after coming out of the womb, michael had already killed the other baby and vivien (i refuse to say she was his mother because she was nothing more to him than what a host is to a parasite - hence how he tried to kill her later on with no remorse whatsoever, even though he knew his own story). even if he wanted to be good - which he did, i truly believe that, and that’s what makes him a compelling character (even in his final glorious antichrist moments, he still cried for ms. mead 2.0) - it would never be possible because he had evil within him; it was part of who he was (after all, they didn’t give us an exact reproduction of little michael’s first kill featuring little antichrist 2.0 just for the lols, did they?). his surrender to the dark side would happen one way or another, and his humanity was merely getting in the way of his mission. or do you really believe the devil could only control his own child, while everyone and everything around him would remain untouched? i wouldn’t doubt it one bit if all the people michael had ever loved had been stripped away from him on purpose, to lead him where he was supposed to go all along. remember cordelia’s words: “you’ve been led by the hand, coddled, the entire way”.
TL;DR: in my opinion, tate’s evil came from external influences and left him after he was used to bring the antichrist into the world, while michael’s was inside him all along and would only grow stronger as he got older. although i enjoyed watching both develop on screen tremendously, i do think the latter’s actions are much harder to justify due to the proportion of his actions (oh, yeah, remember how michael killed BILLIONS?) and the inevitability of his fate. but that’s just me.
(i’m not trying to convince anyone, just blabbering, don’t mind me lol)
Tate and Michael parallels
At least someone’s gonna get a happy ever after.
