YELLOWJACKETS S3E1 // S3E10

yoooo 😭😭😭😭

that one line in the jackieshauna/frostbite fight where shauna said she didn’t even like soccer, almost like she was saying she wouldn’t be on the team, and thus not stranded in the wilderness, if not for jackie. Oh, i have the tea.

I'll probably never be able to shut up about how much I love Jessica

I love the character herself and I love the “arc” she has within the game – as a horror (movie) fan, I think hers is probably the best if I’m honest. You start the game and instantly she’s seen as a bitchy, sexually confident woman, then when you’ve finished the game there are two different outcomes:

She either serves her purpose as the first girl to die – the girl who’s “slutty” and in turn gets punished for it – or alternatively, you can have her be a character that defies all odds and becomes a story of desperate survival.

No matter what happens, ultimately the character still serves the purpose her trope creates – she gets punished for being sexual. She either dies horribly, or she gets unbelievably traumatized and almost dies multiple times. While the trope of punishing the sexual woman within horror movies is undoubtedly controversial and “problematic,” I think the game takes a really unique spin on it by offering up the choice of keeping all characters alive.

To be honest, I think she’s probably stronger material for a character who’s a play on the “final girl” trope too. She gets pulled into the mines, most usually during a state of undress so she’s also at a state of vulnerability, and right before she’s saved by her boyfriend – the “hero” – she falls deeper into the mines and is assumedly trapped, beyond saving. Only she gets up, with multiple scratches and scars upon her skin and a broken leg, and uses her quick-thinking into surviving until dawn. And she has everything against her – not just the trope of “slutty girl dies first,” but also the fact that Mike assumes she’s dead. She’s not, but he doesn’t know that so he’s now stopped trying to rescue her. She’s all alone with two Wendigos now chasing her. But despite it all, she can survive. Everything is working against her, but she can survive. And I love it.

(There’s a fuck ton I could gush about – like how she’s arguably a rather progressive spin on the trope her character is meant to be, the existential dread and misery that can be brought upon by her survival, etc., but I think y'all get the point. Jessica is a queen and I love her)

From now on only making decisions like I'm in a butterfly effect video game and my life depends on it

Juliette returning to silo 18 is so fucking funny because girl really showed up with a cloth sign, a crowbar, and a DREAM

SEVERANCE 2.06 | Attila

ready for the trinity santos and dennis whitaker bestfriendship of all time on levels that no one else can comprehend. i need them to walk into the next season arguing about how trinity broke the coffee machine in the one singular way where it's unfixable. need dennis to talk about how someone tried to break into the apartment and trinity broke their arm in five places. they watch shitty medical dramas together and get genuinely angry at inaccuracies and use said inaccuracies to quiz each other. trinity took no less than 100 pictures on dennis's residency match day. dennis tells trinity that he's survived multiple tornadoes and her only reaction was calling him a loser because he's never been stormchasing. this isn't even all the thoughts i've had and i finished the finale 15 minutes ago
