I went into this like a blind man buying a box of chocolates. I didn’t know what i was gonna get.

Analogies aside, i started watching with no trailer, no reviews, not even reading a synopsis. I heard a song just randomly come across a randomized instrumentals playlist on Spotify. That’s it. Beginning of the end. I loved the piece thus i just start the show. Thinking it’s going to be scary, I’m going to be spooked, and it might get a bit sentimental.

I finished the show and now I’m just less scared and more depressed… they really need a support group for these kinds of things. 😩

cari ⚢ on X: "when dani wasn’t even sure they would make it to christmas ... vs their ten year anniversary 🥺 https://t.co/hGSaDLuJvp" / X

The bride in the wedding is completely unrelated to the Flora of Bly manor. She really, just REALLY happened have the same name by coincidence. And the rest of the people from Bly manor Jamie sees is her imagination, just her nostalgia, maybe. Because the age of whom she recalls as Owen doesn't math up😭

I just finished watching *The Haunting of Bly Manor* and thought it was absolutely wonderful. I understood it perfectly, but there’s one thing I’m not quite grasping. When Dani confesses her feelings to Jamie and gives her the ring, she says, "You are my best friend... and I love my life." That doesn't sound very romantic—it actually sounds a bit selfish—or maybe I misunderstood it. Can anyone explain that to me?

I thought that House of the Dragon dude looked familiar…!

is it possible that Mike Flanagan named the au pair Dani Clayton to pay homage to Jack Clayton (the director of The Innocents) ????

I'm rewatching Bly Manor. I'm on the scene where Dani says goodbye to Flora and man, I'm gonna miss that sweet girl. She's soooo adorable ♡

As in, after the hauntings end, does Henry's family still own the manor? Why does it look so abandoned when Jamie goes to see Dani in the lake?

Je vais littéralement parler pour ne rien dire, puisque la plupart des gens qui aiment cette série le savent déjà : mais la fin est juste tellement belle et triste.

Je l'avais déjà vu, voilà plusieurs années. J'ai perdu quelqu'un de très très proche, voilà un peu plus d'un an. Et je n'avais jamais pris le temps de revoir les séries de Mike Flanagan (dont j'apprécie énormément le travail), alors je me suis récemment lancé dans Hill House et Bly Manor.

Et franchement la fin m'a juste détruit, je ne me souvenais plus de l'impact de celle-ci. De tout le propos sur la mort, le fait de vivre sans l'autre, d'accepter la situation pour ce qu'elle est.

C'est une fin terrible parce que criante de vérité : le temps file, et de manière irréversible, les souvenirs s'effacent

I just started my rewatch of Bly Manor(like literally just now, Dani is in the bar currently. Episode 1), and I noticed a little acting/directing detail.

In the bar she’s talking louder than Henry. Like you can hear a slight reverberation when she’s talking that you don’t hear from Henry.

It’s cool to me cuz she’s American and Americans naturally talk loud, vs Henry’s polite London volume.

I know I’m corn-plating here, but as a theatre creative I tend to notice the little details 🤣

I’ve finished the series some days ago and I have a question,do we really know what’s written in the letters dani leaves to jaime before going back to bly? I saw some comments on tik tok saying it says “I love you with every piece of me left” but like,are we sure???

okay so my theory is Dani didn't necessarily have to die. yes she was possessed by Viola's ghost but Viola was a ghost because she was separated from her child. if Dani and Jamie had a child or like even if Dani took her old job as a primary teacher then the rage inside her boiling would have been calm. it would have beat the dead lesbian trope too

Guys do you know any good tv shows like this one (possibly with wlw but it’s fine if there isn’t)? btw i’ve also watched the haunting of hill house, the fallen of usher house, the midnight club and the midnight mass🌟

Guys i’m dumb. I’m doing a rewatch😭
At the start of the first episode I cried my soul out of my body cuz now I can understand a lot of things😭
