Fall From Grace

Fall From Grace

Fall From Grace

Summary: Otherwise known as the tragedy of Beryl Grace. The scandalous, drama-filled life of the 80s "fluffy starlet" who managed to snag two forms of the same god, producing two great heroes, and battling the consequences of her hankering for fame and beauty, at any and every cost.

1959. Somewhere in a hospital in Dallas, a woman screams and bears down as she labours, sweat dripping from her forehead. The child is her first, her husband’s fourth. She thinks little of their age gap, or of what will become of his other children, her own child - she thinks only of the pain, begging for it to end, praying this will have all been worth it. For this kind of pain, the child must be extra special. She grips the side of the bed, wishing there was a hand to hold, and wonders if tonight will be the night she dies. Nurses tut at her shrieks - silly girl. Don’t these women know childbirth is painful? Don’t they realise that pain is normal, and they’re hardly going to die from it? In the end, the child - her first, her husband’s fourth - is a girl. She screeches just like her mother; midwives declare her healthy. The happy couple, happy now the torment is over, decide to name her Beryl Darlene Grace. Two nights later, the doting husband loudly berates the loving, ailing wife, for her unwillingness to stand and cook so soon after ripping herself open. He brings her to tears, and the baby keeps crying, and the door slams louder than either of them combined as his temper bubbles over. He will not lay a hand on a woman or a child, but he does not need to. Thus, Beryl's tragedy begins.

Okay so like I had a thought of like professional and platonic connection that really lends itself to devotion, both couples sort of have this thing where they match each other on a frequency that no one else in the world does. And there's the power dynamics of it all. Within sydcarmy, though they are technically partners, Carmy is still her boss and is at this point classified as a famous chef, while she's sort of an up-and-coming ingenue. And he continually says over and over that he'll listen to her and then he doesn't. But he still needs her desperately. It's the same thing with joshdonna, Josh has always been donnas boss, despite how much their professional relationship is more like a partnership than anything, she is still his assistant. And Josh is the deputy fucking chief of staff, he's a political mastermind, and again she's an aspiring political operative with half a college degree. And she asks for progression in her career and doesn't get it. But Josh still needs her deeply and desperately. And then there's the parallels between the industries they work in. Both of which are time consuming and mentally taxing and are all about "serving the people" And narratively there's a similarity, as there's a point of breaking for both guys, and then there's a point where both girls get fed up and then there's a divorce era. Also both boys have dead siblings and a found Family.

joshdonna and sydcarmy are incredibly similar and parallel and I would like to talk more about it but idk if anyone cares

it really frustrates me to think about how people are inevitably going to take Remmick’s one (1) singular statement about how much he resents the way the Irish were colonized and forcibly converted to Christianity and use it as fuel for “actually he had a point” and “he was right actually” and “he’s not really the villain here” posts, when the whole point is that Remmick is, through the vampiric hive mind he’s creating, forcibly assimilating people into yet another manipulative and parasitical system. he doesn't value the cultures of the people he assimilates—notice how all the vampires he turns dance to his culture's music using his culture's dances, and how he only uses the languages or knowledge other vampires have to offer when he needs to manipulate someone. Remmick is extremely transparent about the way he sees the people he turns as resources to exploit.

he’s perpetuating a cycle that he claims to hate and resent, and I think the movie is pretty damn clear about the fact that he doesn’t see anybody as valuable or useful to him except as prey and as pawns—otherwise he would just, you know, focus solely on people who actually consent to being turned. but he looked sad in that one scene and he’s an apparently attractive white cis man so people are gonna bend over backwards justifying all the harm he did.
