I didn't say you weren't worth staying for anyway

thinking about morrigan having kieran is actually so sad for me. because obviously she grows to love him, but in her own words he was "a means to an end." we don't know exactly when that changed. this was a ritual given to her by her mother, she was told to do this by her mother. to become pregnant, to carry a child to term, to raise it for the sole purpose of preserving the soul of an old god. "a means to an end." what does that look like when, even though your mother who tasked you with this is dead, you still choose to go through with it because it's the only way to save the life of your friend or lover? you uphold flemeth's directive. you save the life of someone important to you. all it costs is the loss of self and the loss of body that accompanies pregnancy and motherhood, and you have to do while completely alone. obviously morrigan did want to preserve the old god soul, whether for herself or because flemeth impressed that desire upon her (or some mix of the two), but did she ever want to have a baby? she loves kieran. he became her son. but having a baby when you didn't particularly want one is a huge sacrifice for "a means to an end"

and to make it all worse, she's like. 20.

Remember when mike flanagan changed the last lines of haunting of hill house from “whatever walked there, walked alone” (deranged, gorgeous, suggestive of a solitude so complete it’s like a companionship) to “whatever walked there, walked together” (stupid, grammatically awkward, hallmark channel original) and we let him live to tell the tale #throwingup #vomit #blood #killmike #prodeathpenalty #mikeflanagandeath
