The Haunting Of Bly Manor - Blog Posts
I’m never going to be over how Midnight Mass literally portrayed the death of an entire community that was already slowly dying, and the moment we finally felt relief and knew it was all over, was when the disabled girl couldn’t feel her legs anymore
Mike Flanagan will make a series about a haunted house, childhood trauma, add in some long ass monologues and a couple of lesbians for good measure, cast his wife in a main role, and I will go crazy Every. Single. Time.
You said it was a ghost story. It isn’t. No? It’s a love story. Same thing, really. TJ MIKELOGAN’s HALLOWEEN 2024 EVENT day thirteen ↬ horror television template
Happy Birthday @flanaganfilm! Thank you for all the incredible gifts you've given us fans throughout your career!
All the romantic dramas I've watched in the past month have poisoned my brain and deluded me into thinking that I too have a chance at a genuine romantic relationship full of angst but also comfort and mutual pining which is as far from reality as possible and I am not okay
Nothing is more in character than the fact that I’m currently drinking mountain dew out of a wine glass
who wants to write me a jori bly manor au??? au pair tori and gardener jade??? and they fall in love and it’s hauntingly beautiful and devastatingly tragic??? please!!!
The fact that what started The Haunting Of Bly Manor was Viola Lloyd and all her anger and her spite and her selfishness and her possessiveness mistaken for manifestations of love.
Viola, who was unwilling to allow her disease to take away her life so stubbornly to the point that death stopped coming to her house.
When she believed her death imminent in the near future, she made her husband vow, not to move on or to find happiness, but to store away her most valued possessions - and therefore herself - and give them only to their daughter when she came of age. She remained trapped with those possessions within a trunk in the attic until the day it was opened, not by her daughter, but by her sister, who became her first victim. She was abandoned by her family for her sin, and from that point forward her rage and her belief in the unfairness of her circumstance trapped not only her but all those who died on the grounds of Bly.
The fact that Peter Quint died taken by the lady in the lake and dragged Rebecca down with him and that every aspect of their relationship was based on possession.
The fact that Dani faced the same choice but didn't even consider for one second putting Jamie's life at risk. The fact that Jamie wanted to go down with her, but Dani refused to do so. The fact that every aspect of their relationship was based on love.
And the fact that that is what broke the curse.
"People do, don't they? Mix up love and possession?" "Yeah." "I don't think that should be possible."
Episode 5 of the Haunting of Bly Manor makes me sick. Hannah, sweet Hannah, spending the episode in confusion slowly realizing she’s dead. She’s dead and she’s been dead and yet even in death she isn’t free. The cruel irony of discussing a future in Paris with Owen. And yes she turns him down but even if she hadn’t, it wouldn’t have mattered. None of it matters cause nothing could be avoided. She speaks of the mouse and the glue trap and that was always supposed to be her fate. Things change and life moves forward and sometimes you can’t move with it. And what are you supposed to do with that? What can you do?
HE EVEN LOOKS LIKE JAMES POTTER ARE YOU KIDDING ME
i’m rewatching the haunting of bly manor and even though he only gets about five minutes of actual screen time, dani and edmund’s storyline is so jily-coded. Edmund (James) obsessed with this girl he found so cool and ambitious, Dani (Lily) a closeted lesbian who’s too scared to come out and ruin everything. Like his speech at their engagement party where he talks about proposing to her, and getting rejected, from the time they were 10 until their mid 20s when she finally says yes. Maybe i’m just too obsessed with james potter and now i’m seeing him everywhere, but tell me i’m wrong??

the most devastating trope in my opinion is when characters spend the whole story haunted by a ghost or entity only to realize at the end that it was themselves the whole time
only kind of bingo i play
house of usher comes out next week so it feels like the right time to break out the old mike flanagan bingo board.
filled out to the best of my memory. love when a dude is obsessed with themes and imagery <3
watching the last episode of midnight mass right before church on a sunday was perhaps not my smartest idea…
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
Mike Flannigan you’ve done it again (i’ve been sobbing violently for the last hour with no signs of stopping soon)
“I loved you completely and you loved me the same. That’s all, the rest is confetti…”
Mike Flannigan your days are numbered
the lady in the lake was also dani, and dani wouldn’t. dani would ne — STOP IT NOT ANOTHER WORD
Anyone who sobbed their way through the last episode of the Haunting of Bly Manor deserves financial compensation
(and probably therapy)
this man is so Art Heist Baby James coded, it’s not even funny anymore
This series was just amazing. The plot, characters, relationships, metaphors, overall impression ... despite the fear I had to overcome while watching, I must admit that it is probably one of my favorite series ever. I recommend to everyone who doesn't mind a bit of horror, humor, and full of sadness.
i'd let kate siegel drown me in a lake
istg what's with blonde sapphics drowning while their dark haired gfs desperately try to reach out towards them
Dani and Jamie
they deserved the world <3
I feel like they were one one of the healthiest couples displayed on T.V :(
Dani + her plant 🥺🥺🥺
just finished watching bly manor and oh my god the ending broke me
"I'm a lot bravier than people think"
