Wrong Number AU Where Eddie Gets A New Number And Then Starts Receiving Text Messages From The Most Depressed

i HATE how tiktok is reducing ethel cain and preachers daughter to cannibalism. preachers daughter dissects real issues of religious trauma, inter generational trauma, abandonment, etc etc - cannibalism is not the main aspect of the album, nor is it that of ethel’s story.

stop clinging on to cannibalism as a metaphor for love when there are so many other aspects of hayden’s lyricism and art that are so much more complex and profound.

"if tumblr dies you can find me on bluesky" "if tumblr dies you can find me on Instagram" if tumblr dies you cannot find me. It's over. I'm free.

Hellooooo, if you’re a Steddie fan, maybeeee you’d like to checkout my works?! I’ve currently got 11 works up under stranger things on ao3, most of them are Steddie with a few other ships thrown in there, and I’ve got lots of ficlets and stuff on my tumblr too which you can find via my pinned post !!

If you decide to stop by, thanks for checking my work out, and if you stick around, thanks for reading!!

i think one of the biggest misconceptions about the story narrated in preacher’s daughter is that isaiah cannibalizes ethel as an act of love.

there is nothing romantic about it. isaiah is sadistic and manipulative, and ethel falls right into his trap. the warm and idyllic love describe in “thoroughfare” is nothing but ethel’s romanticization of her own abduction.

isaiah knows how to play this game very well. he’s practiced. he knows exactly what he is he doing and he picks ethel because she is vulnerable, alone and needs a place to stay, someone to trust. and in fact, she does trust him.

ethel feels bliss in this reality he offers her because it’s been so long since she last felt a sentiment even remotely similar to love. he tells her to be happy and grateful, so she is. (“I'm happier here 'cause he told me I should be”)

he has done this plenty of times. hayden basically confirms it in the demo of “strangers”, when she says “when you chewed me up and shit me out like every bitch you’re done with”. his plan was always to kill ethel. he drugged her and pimped her and when she was starting to become hard to handle, he killed her and ate her.

there was nothing loving about isaiah eating ethel.

he ate her because he was hungry.

motley crue at the roxy in hollywood 1986… i wonder if there’s video footage

I love when someone reads an account from someone who experienced severe abuse and says “wow! I have never been abused in my life and I think of abuse survivors as fundamentally Different than me but for some reason I hyperidentify with these feelings of humiliation, despair, and self-disgust, and react the exact same way to authority figures. how odd!” and then you find out what their home life was really like.
