I think Danny wasn’t that freaked out by his death because he grew up with his parents talking about ghost and the death and the other side, and i think that just desensitized him to death and it’s concepts. And even if he didn’t believed his parents before the portal, i think he did had a background noise of kinda, expecting to come back after death, even if it was as a mindless ectoplasm being, and that probably made him think to much about death, so much, he just, didn’t care if he, himself died, because he kinda knew what would happen.
Meanwhile, Jason was, in fact, pretty used to death and dying, but he was never desensitized to Danny’s level, Jason knew you died, he knew people killed others or themselves, how death was a part of life, but he was still scared. He died young, he knew he could die on the job, but he never thought much, maybe he wouldn’t have freaked out that much if he had been older, but he wasn’t, he was a kid.
Let’s stay clear, this is my opinions, they are formed with what i know about both fandoms, and their shared community, if you want to add something or inform me if something i have said isn’t in character or in canon, do so please, i love learning :D
Danny: ...and then I died, which, for some reason never freaked me out
Jason, who sometimes stays up all night freaking out about his death: yeh my death never freaked me out either
This focking medicine giving me the things I wanted and The Things i don’t wanted
Giving me back and face hair (very nice, very affirming), troubling acne I hadn’t suffered since I was ten? Not cool.
Sudden confident boost? Very cool. Rounding my face and making me not recognize my face in the mirror? Not demure nor mindful at all.
First thing you see after you zoom in is how you die
How you dying 👀
The Holdovers is an autism coded film with autistic coded protagonists, and that is my headcanon and I will die on this hill. In this essay I will...
I don't have the time to elaborate on why I think this is right now. I will attempt to explain later. Perhaps.
I mean...this quote alone, "I find the world a bitter and complicated place. And it seems to feel the same way about me. You and I have that in common, I think."
Also I don't even think this is necessarily a purposeful coding on the writer and director's part. I think it just shook out that way, and it doesn't even matter to me if it was an intentional choice or not. Like Paul McCartney said, it's not his job to tell the listener of his music what it means. Art is in the eye of the beholder.
Also I know my blog is primarily centered around Lennon/McCartney and the Beatles but if anyone wants to talk about The Holdovers with me, I've been obsessed with it since I watched it for the first time after it came out.
Enough is enough, I’m tired of watching a movie and inmediately falling for the funny tortured looking guy with brown eyes, curly hair, who looks like he’s never been loved YES I’M TALKING TO YOU DOMINIC SESSA, when am I going to have a break
“are you okay” HOW CAN I BE OKAY IF MY FAVOURTIE SCOTTISH MAN WITH A WEIRD MOHAWK AND FUNNY FACE IS DEAD AND DIED IN THE WORST BUILD UP POSSIBLE
So we all saw what dom just posted on his story right…Dominic I volunteer to adopt 4 cats if it means you’ll come over
still baffled that ppl were stealing money (which he already did not have that much of, if you think about it) from Quackity. Like that’s fucking insane. How are you going to embezzle from a 22/23 year old man just trying to bring communities together. Some people are so fucking disgusting Quackity studios is not a multi billion dollar corporation it’s a team of college age kids who run a Minecraft server
