Clark has got to be one of the best-written horror antagonists in recent memory, and the thing I love most about his character is how the film makes you understand his hardships, while at the same time not using them to justify, excuse, or downplay his actions.

You really get a clear idea of how his own hardships inspire the bad decisions he makes. And at the same time, it doesn't pull any punches in showing you the consequences of those decisions, which ultimately resulted in the creation of the Captain Clark entity.

Yes, I don't doubt that he was going through a very difficult time in his life, but it goes without saying that it doesn't give him the right to lash out at everyone and make their lives difficult. And it sure as hell didn't give him the right to take out his frustrations on his spouse or Mary!!!

That's why I love (to hate) him so much! He's not some run-of-the-mill mustache-twirling villain. He's understandable, relatable, and even sympathetic! And at the same time, the film is smart enough to not use those things that make him understandable, relatable, and sympathetic to excuse the harm and hurt he chose to inflict.

That is all💕💕💕

They are so stupid lmao

Again the Vigilante with neighbor in their youth

But also that whole egg thing?? I'm curious tbh, if you're comfortable discussing it ofc! Otherwhise ignore :)

Okay, let’s say that Visitag's biology is Weird.

Vasilisa can produce a kind of a parasitoid egg inside herself. To start a 'pregnancy', she must pass the egg into the Pale Woman's body. She does this not through sex, but through a stab into Zorina’s abdomen. Likely with a specialized organ that functions like an ovipositor.

It’s a terrible, intimate act.

Vasilisa's egg isn't a welcome guest. It's an invasive organism. Her body makes many of them when it's demanded. She has to implant Zorina over and over—until one, finally, violently, takes root.

And Zorina's body is not built for hosting. Her powerful healing constantly tries to attack and dissolve the foreign egg, treating it like an illness. So the ‘pregnancy’ doesn't begin with a welcome, but with a stalemate. One single, tenacious egg manages to burrow so deep and cling so hard that Zorina's defenses can't rip it out.

It carves out a space for itself by force.

What follows is a months-long war, a cycle of consumption and repair. The growing child is a hostile occupant, leaching nutrients and fighting for space. Zorina's 'nurturing' is not a natural act. It's a grim, constant work of her immune and regenerative systems, forcibly repurposed to contain and sustain a life that is trying to consume her from the inside.

It leaves her starving and vulnerable. Vasilisa takes up hunting to keep her wife alive. She'd be grappling with both guilt and pleasure whenever she feeds the Pale One, who's too weak to rip the meat herself, from her hands. The terror of the surface, den-ridden, depending on her, carrying her seed.

.

Vasilisa, like Vasiliy, has a breeding kink.

.

Essentially, it's a consensual intraspecific parasitic relationship where the host's superhuman durability turns a fatal process into a grueling, survivable pregnancy.
