This suggests that there was possibly intended to be a connection, but is basically contradicted in the AMA chat from March 2013: There is a small connection, but I have left it vague on purpose.

This Danse Macabre was enacted at village pageants and at court masques, with people " dressing up as corpses from various strata of society", and may have been the origin of costumes worn during Allhallowtide. Historian Francis Rapp (1926–2020) writes that " Christians were moved by the sight of the Infant Jesus playing on his mother's knee their hearts were touched by the Pietà and patron saints reassured them by their presence. Its origins are postulated from illustrated sermon texts the earliest recorded visual scheme was a now-lost mural at Holy Innocents' Cemetery in Paris dating from 1424 to 1425. It was produced as memento mori, to remind people of the fragility of their lives and how vain are the glories of earthly life. The effect is both frivolous and terrifying, beseeching its audience to react emotionally. ![]() The Danse Macabre consists of the dead, or a personification of death, summoning representatives from all walks of life to dance along to the grave, typically with a pope, emperor, king, child, and labourer.

Frannie wants Hazel to make friends, but as Hazel says, the only thing worse than biting it from cancer is having a kid that bites it from cancer. The person running it is a man named Patrick (Mike Birbiglia), who had testicular cancer and is now divorced and lives with his parents, but is positive because he is alive. At the behest of her mother Frannie (Laura Dern), father Michael (Sam Trammell), and her doctor Maria (Ana Dela Cruz), she attends a cancer support group at a church called the Literal Heart of Jesus. Hazel suffers from stage 4 thyroid cancer and is always seen carrying an oxygen tank with a cannula in her nose for her to breathe. She states that she believes we're allowed to choose how to tell sad stories, and that although one can sugarcoat it and say there's nothing that can't be fixed with a Peter Gabriel song, it's not the truth.

The best explanation I’ve found of the anti-resemblance rule comes from the artist and hip-hop pioneer Fab Five Freddy. Swagger, as a contemporary phenomenon, is very much associated with hip-hop. As a result, it’s impossible to fake or imitate. ![]() Writing with swagger breaks rules, morphs nonstop, and defies both itself and all efforts to contain it.
