      “You have a peculiar penchant for turning dreams into nightmares.”

      Fans, the wait is over! The American Horror Story season 12 trailer just dropped and indeed, it’s far from anything we could have anticipated. Our first look at Delicate was released a couple of weeks ago via X. It revealed quite a captivating picture. Picture this – a group of women, moving in harmony, performing what seems to be a ritualistic dance. As they move, a bird’s egg, perched precariously in its nest, takes a tumble. But here’s the kicker – out of the egg, instead of a baby bird, emerges a horde of spiders. It’s as baffling as it is intriguing. The dancers donned in sleek latex bodysuits and matching gloves, adding to the mystery. Their attire cleverly hides their claw-like fingers, further adding to the enigma that is “Delicate.” 

      Right from the get-go, the premise of the season was a bit of a puzzle. We knew it drew inspiration from a novel – a contemporary, feminist reinterpretation of the classic “Rosemary’s Baby.” Yet, the big question dangling in our minds was – how exactly does this fit into the grand scheme of the American Horror Story universe? How will it weave into the intricate tapestry of narratives we’ve come to expect from AHS? Then there’s the elephant in the room – Kim Kardashian, essentially mirroring her real-life persona. The casting choice is intriguing, to say the least. Then, after the second and third teasers dropped, revealing a constellation of stars – Emma Roberts, Kim Kardashian, Cara Delevingne. But the sight that truly rattled us? Kardashian, bearing what seemed like life, only to reveal a chilling twist – a spider, not a child, clung to her abdomen. Okay, so the spider! It’s like this unexpected twist, you know? It could symbolize a whole bunch of things – maybe it’s about getting caught in a web of lies, or it could signal danger lurking around the corner. Heck, it could even be about deception. It’s one of those things that’s got me on the edge of my seat, wondering how it’s gonna play out in the story. Maybe the actual trailer will answer the questions about why the eight-legged freaks are so prominent throughout the teasers. 

      I couldn’t be more wrong! Who knew? The trailer was like a cryptic riddle, wasn’t it? Instead of giving us a peek into the spider’s role, it just weaved a larger, more intricate web of intrigue. It’s as if they’re deliberately shrouding us in suspense, stroking the flames of anticipation for the full story. It’s a tantalizing game of hide and seek with the plot, and we’re all eager to discover what’s behind the curtain. Here’s the scoop from the trailer: Roberts is playing a top-tier celeb, navigating the IVF journey with her doctor (Delevingne). And let’s be real, she seems like she just stepped out of a spider-infested nightmare. Don’t think Anna (Roberts) is doing this as a single woman, she has Logan Huntzberger with her. Gilmore Girls fans, brace yourselves! Our beloved Logan has hit Hollywood, and he’s on a quest to start a family, with her, and a spider twist. Spot on! Kardashian is playing a character that’s a mirror image of her real-life momager, Kris Jenner. She’s taken on the role of Siobhan, guiding Anna through glitz, glamor, and pregnancy. Kim, your acting classes are paying off, but perhaps you should take another run at those lines. Let’s infuse a bit more emotion and ditch the monotone delivery next time, shall we?

      Like I said, Delevingnge’s character paints a chilling portrait, as if she’s sprung from the bowels of hell itself. On the other hand, we have Anna. She’s in the throes of an IVF-induced pregnancy, a cocktail of medications wreaking havoc on her body. Hair loss, emotional breakdowns, it’s as if she’s slowly unraveling. The whole situation is tinged with an air of mystery, a puzzle waiting to be pieced together. It’s all a bit too sketchy, wouldn’t you agree? The way I took the rest of the trailer: it’s as if the creators are weaving a complex tapestry of suspense, with Delevingne’s character at the center, portrayed as an assumed psychotic doctor. Her intentions towards Anna and her unborn child are hidden beneath layers of ambiguity, adding to the sinister vibe. And, as if the plot wasn’t thick enough, it seems we have a cult led by none other than Debra Monk. It’s a wild concoction of chaos and suspense, a whirlwind that leaves us guessing every turn. Despite season seven “Cult” not resonating well with viewers, they’ve boldly decided to reintroduce the cult concept. It’s a rollercoaster of intrigue. All will be unveiled with the arrival of Delicate – part one, that is – hitting FX on September 20th, then she streams on Hulu.

      About the Contributor
      Riley Emanuel, Editor
      Hi, I'm Riley! This is my third and final year in Journalism since I am a senior at BCHS. This class has given me multiple opportunities within the county and the country! I was invited to the National Journalism Conference in Washington DC, I've gotten to inform incoming freshmen about the class, and I've gotten my writing published in the county newspaper! This is my second year as an editor and I mainly focus on pop culture news. In my group, I mainly write about things involving the media, celebrity drama, or entertainment in general. Outside of school, I love to write and create my own stories. Fun fact, I wrote two full books and I have physical copies of them as well! Super excited to spend my last year of high school writing articles for the newspaper and further pursuing my dream career of being a writer!
