Top ten toxic marriages, but there's a twist...?

[Paper_Brain]

“Till death do us part” takes on a whole new meaning when you’re immortal

[Cloud-zblw]

Duke: I guess you could say that you’re “out of sight.”

Missi: At least I still have two working thumbs.

[lasermanso]

I love how ''showdown'' foreshadowed witch Voltaire song would be next with the very specific wounds both gets in the battle named in the song here

[creepycoyote]

i like to think they actually just have a grave out back that they sit in when they're feeling moody

[Kemot]

The irony: Missy broke into Duke house, thinking it's abandoned, just to read "Twilight" and in the end she ended up like this.

[Monster_Lock]

Everyone before the premier: *LET ME IN, LET ME

[lautarosilveira]

When he screams at her for stabbing his mother she has a face like: "oh, yeah, that"

I honestly really like how this puts a nicer bow on Missi's situation. In the beginning, she was shown to be nothing more than a victim, but then we see how vengeful she actually is and that she's really capable of some serious hatred. She literally brings Duke back to life just to torment him, and then even after showing terror over the wand's influence over her, she goes back to it and embraces its power because of her hatred for Duke. She literally abandons her entire life and the people who care about her for revenge. It honestly makes you wonder what kind of life she had before this, because that amount of hate just isn't normal. I imagine it's been brewing under the surface for a LONG time, and it's thanks to Duke that it's all just come exploding out. It might've been better that she is where she is now, because imagine what kind of harm she'd bring to other people once that anger bubbles over. We know she's still herself and the wand has no control over her because of all the books, the cat magazines etc, but now she's just able to be bratty and snarky, and gets violent with Duke because she knows he can take it. THIS is Missy's true self, and she knows it's not going to be accepted by normal society. So, she lets go of the idea of revenge over Duke and insteads finds comfort in that he's also an outcast and isn't accepted by normal society.

So they've finally realized that while they're both broken, messed up, and cursed, they aren't alone in it, and the fact that they aren't alone in it all makes them feel better. That's a nice end for the season. Them just agreeing to exist together because they're both fucked up in their own ways

I fully believe that Dariah just wanted to do this song so much that she made everything else just so the lyrics would be 100% accurate

[TheTypomouse]

The part that kills me every time is when Missi breaks out the flamethrower...
Beautifully done, and I can't help rewatching this series over and over again.

[destroyer]

"You poked my eye, I wear a patch, I should have given you one to match"
"Did you forget, you got me back, you cut my thumb off with an axe"
Wow you really planned ahead here didn't you?

[HatiLeavateinn]

Voltaire waking up: why tf is everybody searching for "Stuck with you" out of nowhere?

[cphtfluke]

Went to a Voltaire show last night. He talked about the great work you've done. He said that even though his songs were released years before your videos, looking at how popular your videos are compared to his, he feels like in some ways you're more successful than him, and he's super happy for you. He wanted to sing Stuck With You, but he didn't have anybody to sing Amanda Palmer's part. So he sang The Night, since you're the main reason that song has shot up in popularity in recent years.

So, after the new episode, I decided to re-watch the series, and I think I got something a lot of people seem to be missing. Like most, I felt like there was something missing from the hate to love going on between episode 6 and 7, but I don't think they necessarily love each other, or their "vows" are literal vows to be together at this point. Everything going on in this series is a lot more symbolic/subtle, and that's kind of the limitations you have when you're trying to do this format of storytelling. Still think Daria's nailing it, though.

After resurrection, Missi had the choice to go home, but she didn't. Instead she chose the power of the cane, partly I think fueled by her hate for Duke, and partly because of the sheer power the cane allows her. Despite it consuming her mind and making her go crazy, which seems to have only truly manifested itself when she's all alone in the silence, she's not willing to let go of that power.

Then the showdown happens, where it seems they more or less just want to one up and toy with the other. Then Duke tries to poison her, she refuses the drink by literally kicking the tray from his hands, and they start actually fighting. In the end, they end up in a tie, both wounded and stunned by how far their feud had gone, as well as a little guilty.

Because it ended in a tie, and emotions have understandably simmered down, Duke is allowed back in the house, but Missi still won't leave, because she refuses to let go of that cane. Missi's "vow", her "I do" is to that cane and how she doesn't want to let go of it's power. For whatever reason we don't know yet, she'd rather be a Vampire via the cane, and continue to stake claim on the house, than go home. Duke's "vow"/"I do" is a little more nuanced. It was technically his fault Missi is still there, and he was also the one who proposed the showdown and threw the first hit. It's technically (though not completely; Missi has a lot of the fault too) his fault they're in this mess.

So, they stay in the house together, continue to fight and bicker while also trying to live together, or at least co-exist, and things stay like that for a while. In the end, though, they're both lonely. At the end of the episode 7, it's not so much them having fallen in love I don't think (though it may be going in that direction), but more realizing that they're in the same boat now (more or less), and at the very least, they have each other. And after seeing Duke's backstory in season 2, I think we're all starting to realize they may have more in common than we realized, each living out a fantasy.
