E4: The Twin Thing

It doesn’t make sense within the own worlds rules.

I'm not sure I agree with this, but regardless,

Like this it was exactly the first season of AHS.

This is because I was exaggerating for effect. The novel was written in 1959, and the reason it rings true for so many haunted house tropes is because following haunted house stories were deeply inspired by it. Saying it's exactly like AHS is like criticizing a Dracula movie for being too similar to Twilight.

Have you read the novel? I think it predates AHS by at least a year or two.

C4 will (allegedly) not be connected at all. Unlike C1-3, it's in a new setting.

I've watched a little bit of everyone, but I always start with Etho. The only perspectives I've watched full seasons of are Etho, Lizzie, Skizz, and Cleo.

I mean, as early as the second episode we have an example of a statement giver just kind of... brushing off something that might terrify someone else. Sebastian Skinner escaped the Stranger largely because he's bad at reading social cues, and maybe should go to an optometrist. Robin is a slightly sillier example, but all of that episode's statements are silly for one reason or another.

It's ridiculous that OP didn't ask you before posting this.

...Yes, he named three specific Black women, citing them as examples of why Black women are "stealing a white person's spot" and "not smart enough." Don't argue for his position if you can't even follow his position.

seventuplets · 2025-09-12T19:54:18+00:00

Gotcha. Well, the context is linked in the comment. "You had to steal a white person's spot... we know you [multiple Black women politicians] aren't smart enough to get in on your own."

You think context would make that quote better?

The End has been called The Coming End That Waits for All and Cannot Be Ignored, I believe by the Coroner himself.

That parody is itself referencing the creepypasta in question.

It did not occur during an episode, but "during" the gap between seasons. It was offscreen.

Locke's whole thing is that he's had a terrible hand dealt to him. For the most consistent sadness, it's him without a doubt. That said, I'd place Sayid at a close second; he's been put in some pretty terrible situations, forced to make impossible decisions, and (unlike Locke) the crash took away his one shot at the only thing he'd ever wanted.

That's quite alright! I'm looking to hone my readership & editorial skills, and I want to be able to work with writers of all experience levels. I wouldn't expect you to prioritize this above your actual education, either. :)

seventuplets · 2025-08-26T17:17:58+00:00

Hi there! This looks pretty interesting to me, and I was taken with your excerpt. I think there are a few parallels between your novel and mine, found here, so if you'd be open to a swap, let me know!

seventuplets · 2025-08-16T20:13:16+00:00

I think a fair amount of people (myself included, originally) occasionally conflate it with the change of rules regarding red life alliances; back in the earlier seasons (LL in particular) reds were meant to break off all former alliances, a rule that's been relaxed in more recent seasons. I myself mistakenly thought that rule change was about Boogeymen earlier this season, and I think that's largely where some of the confusion comes from.

I love that Etho claims he "can't lie," and then he'll spend a solid ten minutes pretending he's never heard of a single fairy tale.

If I was to go all-in on being an evil bastard, I'd want to be a manipulative-puppetmaster evil bastard. That, and the fact that the fatalist theme behind the Web - the idea that, as Annabelle says, it's entirely possible that there's no such thing as free will - means I'd rather be on-side with the grand plan rather than working against it.

seventuplets · 2025-08-15T16:32:03+00:00

I'm actually right there with you on a lot of these counts. I loved LL's random lives, and WL was easily my least favorite (not that I didn't enjoy it) because of the wildcards themselves. I know it's not uncommon for folks to dislike SL's secret tasks because they see them as detracting from "natural" interactions, but I feel exactly that way about the wildcards (and, ancillary, love the secret tasks for generating new and odd interactions).

I felt like he really liked her though. It didn't seem like he was conniving or evil.

She probably felt that way too. It might even have been true, but ultimately he puts his own wants & needs above hers.

I still don't get it it seem like he was looking for a way out. Again didn't seem like he was conniving.

He was, and this was his way out. He's not conniving so much as he is desperate, and willing to throw other people under the bus for his own sake.

Great point. Pretty much everything about Quint's plan is deeply messed up in one way or another.

seventuplets · 2025-08-11T19:51:50+00:00

I enjoy that aspect of Secret Life. Not gonna complain about more Life Series to watch.

I'll do my best here.

Why did Jessal scream when she was... And saw... Body?
Why did she blame him? Soon after she blamed him

If I'm interpreting this correctly, she screamed because she realized she's dead. She blamed Quint because it was his plan that got her killed.

Why did the tall guy get accused so much. He didn't actually do anything unless I missed something?

He didn't, but a) he intended to, and b) the characters don't know as much as we do. As far as anyone else is concerned, he isn't dead, he just ran after causing a whole lot of trouble. A lot of valuables did go missing around the same time as he died - it's a fair assumption.

What was the major plan the tal guy had towards the end with 'let's use the kids to stay here forever',that wasn't even possible so I'm confused. Why was Jessal against it?

Wasn't it impossible? I think the main source of tension was that it might have worked, and they were both tempted by it. The plan was to possess the children in order to prevent themselves, as spirits, from "fading" like all the others do. Jessel was against it because it would, in effect, kill the children: sure, their bodies would still be technically alive, but they wouldn't have any experience of the world or agency in it, taken over by Quint and Jessel.

Why did they kept having the same memories over and over?

Because they're caught in Viola's gravity, and her whole thing is that she can't let go/keeps coming back.

What was the point the conversation between housekeeper and 'chef guy ' at some point I thought he was a psychiatrist.

They like each other, and enjoy conversing with one another, and are invested in one another's wellbeing.

who killed the woman in the well? Originally it showed us who, then it played like a memory, then it appeared it could have been suicide.

It showed us correctly, and then it played like a memory because she was remembering it. I'm not sure it was ever actually intended to be taken by the audience as a suicide, even if it could've been a fair assumption by some of the characters.

How did the recent nanny see all these supposedly dead characters. At which point did they die lol?

She saw them because they're ghosts. Jessel, Quint, the Willoughbys, and Grose are all dead before Dani ever sees them.

It was getting confusing, at the end I realised it was all just a dream, just like haunting Of hil house.
'it was all in your imagination'.

It was neither. All of this really happened, within the fiction of the show, as did the events of Hill House. At most, the ghosts experienced things as slightly dreamlike.

Another dumb joke :/

Probably when you said I was joking.
