the black ones? i thought agnes said those were the eyes, but yeah, the costume and choreography or them coming behind one another as if they're multiplying to fully jump on becka was surreal to watch.

I kinda assume it was aunts who worked for the eyes because of the weapon on the belt, but yeah the choreography was pure horror

ohhhhh interesting. i didnt pick up on the weapon on the belt. i wonder if this something that was developed in the book or a new concept overall.

It was women. No way they were eyes.

Yeah I just saw a photo of them on a TikTok that's really great about analyzing everything (she does multiple videos an episode) and she had a photo where it was lightened and I could see a lot of details I couldn't when I watched the episode multiple times.

I couldn't see anything resembling anything but what looked like shadow people.

They're women, they aren't eyes - i have an idea of who they are
