Flowers In The Attic (1987)

Even though I knew the story from the get-go, even though I knew Cory was going to die… It still broke my heart and made me cry. Children dying in films always gets to me and just breaks my heart. Especially in a movie like this. And in Flowers In The Attic, you spend so much time with the Dollanganger kids, you just feel what they’re going through, you get attached to them and compelled for them to get out of that attic. You root for them the entire way and want them to come out all right, even though the inevitable comes…

The music track is also tragic and heartbreaking, and with its title being “One Flower Dies”, it’s very appropriate.

At least Cory’s nightmare is over… At least he can now wait for them with their dearly departed father.

i hate boys

HEY!

Guys are much less dramatic than girls and way more fun, you shut your mouth.

Blakester my dear…

Some people are more dramatic than others, regardless of gender. Drama King/Queen does not a gender make. Gender is biological, it has nothing to do with our personalities.

This is all stupid stuff. XP Because what the heck. None of it makes sense. It’s not supposed to.

Now keep in mind, this is all silly and stupid. :P

———

There was a zombie attack. They gathered weapons and killed their way through.

Survivors were found. Because there are stones left unturned.

Ethan did eventually get some… Both he and Blake were unwilling donors to repopulating.

Bhaalspawn was truly the target of all the girls and Blake.

Brittany was awesome. She took down zombies like no one’s business.

Tara killed a zombie with her bare damn hands.

Blake killed zombies while being a Large Ham, and looking fabulous at every second.

Bhaalspawn magically had a lightsaber to kill zombies with.

NintendoGal killed zombies with a steel pipe.

Ethan used a guitar to kill zombies with sound waves. Because magic.

Most of the time, the team sat around, rationed food, or did whatever.

Not once did NintendoGal speak to anyone after her declaration of how her family and friends being dead with her kept alive was a fate worse than death.

Ethan would’ve had his moment, but knowing that his favourite metal stars would never make more music made him sad. He didn’t have another moment after.

Blake was fabulous and so hammy. Because it’s his specialty.

Bhaalspawn declared himself the leader. No one protested.

More zombies.

More fighting them off.

More traversing along the barren wasteland.

Tornadoes.

It made NintendoGal wish that Respect The Wind was playing whenever they ran from tornadoes.

Brittany was still awesome.

Tara still came out on top.

Blake was fabulous.

Bhaalspawn was epic.

Ethan was cool.

NintendoGal was silent.

More zombies.

The survivors kept on with their uncertain future as the last beings on earth…

I finally finished reading Flowers In The Attic. :D I have to say that it was really good! I knew from the get-go that the movie differed greatly from it, but I definitely still enjoy it, and I found it to be a very faithful adaptation. The book was a great read, really worth it.

And to think…I picked these up because of a fanfic project that a friend and I are doing for this October. XD Well, it was because I wanted to do my research, actually know the source material, and I was honestly very intrigued by the books. I wanted to read them through and get into the stories. So, I’m really glad I did. :D

Now that the first book is done, I’m going to be starting on Petals on the Wind. :D Then the first anthology book will be finished! It’ll be time for the second one, which contains If There Be Thorns and Seeds of Yesterday. Then finally, Garden of Shadows.

Wish me luck, folks. :P I shall delve further into the Dollanganger Series.

I honestly cannot stand it whenever references to the fandom are made in the show.

I honestly cannot stand it whenever references to the fandom are made in the show. For example, Lyra and Bon Bon’s friendship, the names given to several different background ponies, and especially Derpy. If you ask me, it’s just slight ass kissing and pandering.

The Derpy fiasco was an issue of execution and reaction. Beyond that, any and all nods to Bronies are visual gags, background events, maybe some lines of dialogue, and what have you. They all have one thing in common, they don’t affect the plots of the episodes and never have. They’re called Easter Eggs.

And if the development team want to make shout outs to their fans, they can if they want. It’s not pandering, it’s just having fun and showing appreciation. Nothing wrong with that.

ask-bhaalspawn:

Ethan invents a new tagling: Couldn’t get laid if he was the only fertile straight guy in the apocalypse.

XD Priceless.

ask-bhaalspawn:

Ethan blew up the world. And lived to regret it.

He…killed my family…all my other friends…and left me alive?

D’:

Fate. Worse. Than. Death.

Let’s be clear, I’m indifferent about Steam. I recognize its flaws, however, as I’ve heard a lot about how it works.

However, I now have to live with it. XP I bought the PC version of Skyrim, and I had to get Steam in order to play it. …I probably should’ve read the back of the box before buying. But oh well, it’s not a big deal. So far it’s been okay.

So at the moment, I’m indifferent, and I only have it because of the fact that Skyrim requires it. Okay, fair enough.

Just wanted to say a thankful goodbye to Welshy.

He’s an awesome person. I hope you do well in the future.

Thank you for the videos and funniness!

He’s a great person. :)

:’3 Missing you already, Welshy. Thank you for the great times! Good luck out there. *Sniffle* You are awesome!

In support of ads

I do not mind i the least that there are ads in the videos. I personally want to get into the same business as TGWTG crew and would have to relay on ads like most of them do. So, whenever I see one of them talk about fans complaining about ads, I marathon that person’s work to not only support them but to offset the whiners.

Ads can be so annoying sometimes, but there’s are two nifty features. The volume control and the mute button. Really, they’re not asking us to WATCH them if we don’t want to. Just to play them. Besides, they understand that and fully endorse muting them. XP
