Rebecca Reprise II So Fucking Good

@maliania and I fallen into the pit again and that means more Rexim for our cult.

Today we have something special on the menu:

Rebecca and Bea have a fight, that can only be settled with a car race. And because he doesn't have another ride, Maxim needs to tag along.

Giles Lacy

Everyone’s favourite Bea-Sexual

the generational gap between me and the people my age who use chat gpt

“To the utterly miserable - the unloving and the unloved - there is no religion possible, no worship but a worship of devils. And beyond all these, and continually recurring, was the vision of my death - the pangs, the suffocation, the last struggle, when life would be grasped at in vain.”

-The lifted veil

by George Eliot

another day, another Die Lieben Verwandten workout (iykyk)

You can just tell she owns every room she walks into

I have always wanted to see Bea in vintage Galliano

I want to be able to eat pine cones. They look so tasty and crunchy, I want to put them in my mouth. I want to nibble on them while watching a movie or reading a book or sitting by a bonfire. I want to eat them like biscuits with tea and as a snack on a long drive. I yearn for the crunch. I want to eat pine cones. Let me eat pine cones!

Rebecca Dream Cast

As "Rebecca das Musical" connoisseurs™, @edgyparrot and I cooked something up.

We've seen a lot of different versions (never enough) and now we're basically deciding who's best at the characters and putting them in one dream cast.

Ich: Nienke Latten (only from the Wilemijn cast, not with Mark)

Maxim de Winter: Jan Ammann

Mrs Danvers: Pia Douwes (@edgyparrot's love)

Beatrice Lacy: Kerstin Ibald (my love)

Giles Lacy: Raphael Dörr

Frank Crawley: Jörg Neubauer (the chemistry with Jan, omg)

Jack Favell: Hannes Staffler/ Mark Seibert (I know he's theoretically never played Jack, but he basically plays Maxim how I imagine Jack to be, and let's be honest, he would slay)

Ben: Daniele Nonnis

Mrs van Hopper: Isabel Dörfler (our queen <3)

Frith: Matthias Graf

Robert: (forgot his name, will look it up later)

Clarice: Christina Patten

We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments (but accept no criticism :))

what made me able to forgive maxim by the end of the book is the fact that rebecca was doomed anyway. i know this sounds bad, but it's the truth. she wanted to die -> she did everything in her power to die quickly in a manner of her own choosing. maxim became an unwilling and unknowing participant in her assisted suicide. she 100% intended it that way, whether or not it was meant to completely ruin him as well we don't know for sure but come on. the lady had one last ace in her sleeve, of course she would use it to drag him down with her. it didn't even have to be personal, just what he stands for is enough. with all of this i'm not saying that he's justified or that there weren't better courses of action he should've taken. but the stakes were stacked heavily against him. i mean Rebecca lived with him for 20 years, in which time she notably didn't die and we get no mention or even a hint of potential domestic violence either. if nothing else, that man had self control, and his wife of several decades was the best suited person to set him off. a dog you condition to bite will lash out. the first decision he makes completely on his own was to hide her body. he scrubbed her blood off the floor for what must've been hours he definitely had time to think about it and then he decided to not die. it almost destroys him anyway, by the time the narrator meets him he's borderline suicidal. his head had to be pulled above the water by other people because he was more than ready to be hang for his crime, which he recognizes as horrific. but he also admits that he would've shot rebecca again even if he knew what would happen, and he says this while he still thinks he killed a pregnant woman. he felt that much trapped.
