My AUs:

About Keep Yourself (FinnFern + Frusan/Fionnel) Finn has spent a decade carrying Fern's ghost on his back and in his reflection, the devastating loss of his Jungian shadow lingering softly in his footsteps.

At 27 Finnley Mertens finalizes a wish that will allow him to channel all of his lived experiences into a new, fresh self in the hopes he can be a little more selfish, be a little less proud, and not make the same mistakes that he cannot help but dwell on.

Remaining Transcript

As someone who knows next to nothing about the concept outside of the original post I had a good time :)

It's surprisingly mature, comfortable in its bones (can't tell Kane's a new director imo), the horror's nicely cerebral and the meandering isn't boring or tired-- you can tell each moment of quiet is very purposeful. It reminded me a bit of Lake Mungo in that creeping unease, at least until the last beats. The pacing's a bit reminiscent of Blair Witch: expositional intro, character building, walking, spooky shit, character drama, walking, character drama, PANIC, expositional outro. (Though BR's intro is show, not tell.) The soundtrack is fantastic, and the sets are SO FUN! I was worried about the scenes blurring/melting into one another but that's not the case. My only complaint could be considered a spoiler so proceed under the cut at your own risk.

I was worried I'd feel like I'd have to go home and do homework to get the full picture of the plot but nope, it's the full package and stands by itself without needing to see the other short films just fine.

as a small aside I did really like seeing Mr Creep Mark Duplass himself, and with how things left off I'm hopeful for a sequel that will use more of him. (I love the Creep films.)

Spring Shower

I think each Finn's sexuality lands on a diff spot on the scale:

Fern's gay/homoflex, Finn's bi and Farm Finn is like, aggressively straight. It doesn't math out in my head.

I'm not that big on legit same-guy selfcest (it's just kinda boring imo, like I never got the hype over winterkov) so I'm prob not the best person to ask.

I also just don't think about shipping that much, I just like drawing hugs lol.

stop hitting yourself!
