“I loved you completely and you loved me the same. That’s all, the rest is confetti…”
Mike Flannigan your days are numbered
Mike Flannigan you’ve done it again (i’ve been sobbing violently for the last hour with no signs of stopping soon)
If i had a nickel for every time i cried my way through the last episode of a mike flannigan series, i would have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened two times
I am in the mood to write some The Hauntings (Hill House and Bly Manor) fics
The characters I'd write for The Hauntings are in the tags😅 I'll do the actors too.
I'm still up for requests for Henry Cavill and Sebastian Stan (including characters) and the horror Slashers I'd write for, and for what fandoms I write for also.
Even though they won't be up for the next few weeks or so, I'll gladly write them the best I can.
Just a thought
I’m thinking with Steve’s books, what if the producers and such made them into shows? We’ve got Hill House so far and even though Bly Manor isn’t there, Steve had said that these books were based off what other people have told him.
I would really like to have these ‘books’ come to life.
Books from left to right; The Haunting of Danver, The Haunting of Alcatraz, The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of the Queen Mary, The Haunting of Williamsburg, The Haunting of Battery Point, The Haunting of Rancho Los Amigos, The Haunting of Rock Haven Sanitarium, The Haunting of Mendocino Hotel, and The Haunting of Fair Field Hills.
I apologize if the titles are wrong, I tried.
It's been almost five years since The Haunting of Hill House came out on Netflix. And it has irrevocably changed my life.
The depiction of grief. Addiction. Depression. Loss. Identity. Family relationships. Family dynamics. Healing your inner child. Having to deal with your inner child. The fact that in some ways you never really grow up, you're that exact same person inside that is dealing with all these increasingly complex and difficult things, trying hard to not let the child in you react because you know it shouldn't.
Thinking about Theo taking her gloves off. Nell going to therapy, putting in work, and still having her demons chase her around all the way to the end. Shirley's entire life and career being based around wanting to help people in their darkest moments the way someone helped her (though isn't that what they all do, too? Especially Theo). Luke as the youngest, being left behind or not believed and eventually having to find ways to self-soothe, which as an adult are not as health-friendly as other options out there. But it's what he had to do to cope. And Steve... everyone knows a Steve.
I know people have commented before about the five Crain siblings and the five stages of grief. But they also each experience those themselves, and in some ways the five of them simply display how much grief and living can do to a person. Juxtaposing the entire modern part of the series with them as children reminded me how much the things I do now can also be drawn back to little Me. The decisions I make, what scares me, who I reach out to. What haunts me? I may not have a big scary terrifying Death House in my past, but I mean... we've all got our version of a big scary terrifying Death House.
The tragedy of Hill House, the complicated love that's shown, the connections and relationships we have with our families, the world, ourselves. I cannot, will not, should not, would not forget it.

I’ll just keep thinking it was “Seven” because it took Luke seven steps to reach Nell’s bed♡
