I was watching Coven Academy and can't help but see a small resemblance. The themes of witches and coven sisters fighting evil probably weren't helping.
As if this time of the month isn't hard enough. I was freshening up and noticed a huge fat hairy spider crawling across my chest. Inches from my face.
I reasonably freaked out and dropped the hygiene product. I'm doing this frantic shaking dance to get this kaiju monster off. But no. Grip of iron. In the process I whack my hand into the wall hard. Causing me to lose track of the freak. Mess. Everywhere.
I'm now suffering from heavy female health issues, a throbbing hand, AND scrubbing the bathroom floor. Crying. Terrified. Defeated. It's out for blood. It could be anywhere. Anytime.
I tried everything. The blood just won't come out of the floor grout. Please help.
My Iceland Foods Bonus app (UK) is saying I am offline when that is definitely not the case.
I have tried different WiFi, mobile data, and airplane mode with no luck.
Uninstalling the app and redownloading it seems to fix it. I gave it full permissions, not sure if that was the issue?
Is anyone else having this issue?
-Both narratives feature protagonists who reject conventional reality, immersing themselves in a fantasy world.
- Both stories revolve around a dark, locked, hidden tomb that represents a connection to a hidden world. The Hyde family mausoleum in The Tomb and the Faun’s lair in Pan's Labyrinth.
-Both use a gate that represents a threshold into the unknown.
-Both the labyrinth in Pan's Labyrinth and the tomb in The Tomb act almost like psychological spaces that shape the main character’s identity and behaviour. They are obsessed and always pulled back to it. Both are also prominently placed at night and served as a gateway.
-Both have open interpitation in what is real. In The Tomb, Jervas believes he is visiting the tomb to commune with the dead, while his family believes he is insane and that the tomb has remained locked. Pan's Labyrinth similarly leaves it ambiguous whether Ofelia's adventures are real or a hallucination born of trauma.
-While neither identity is fully confirmed, reinforcing themes of unreliable perception and longing for another existence. But in both narratives the protagonist believes they are the last of a forgotten lineage. Both stories end with this being implied to be true.
-In both, storms mark moments where reality feels unstable. Suggesting either supernatural intrusion or psychological breakdown.
- Both have a antagonistic leaning father figure. Distant, authoritarian, unaffectionate and controlling. Pushing the protagonist away from reality and toward a private, imaginative world.
