Jonas Kahnwald + orchestrating his own suffering
i’m coming out as a fan of the wilds. i watched it when season one came out and i SOBBED when it was canceled. that is MY personal roman empire (i hate that fuck ass joke but it fits). we were ROBBED of leatin, ROBBED of shoni getting back together, ROBBED of my little lesbians (and bisexuals) getting together and being happy and silly and alive and well
is anyone else reading this.
Welcome back demolition lovers
shoutout to Mike because even though he was a douche in the beginning he literally went through hell to find Jess
Owww…
The woozy way Jess walks through the mines almost physically pains me. The poor girl gets battered so badly in this game and doesn’t even get much if any explanation for what the hell is happening to her. She doesn’t deserve this.
I like that Matt and Jessica are each other’s second highest relationship... sigh I’m currently replaying until dawn but this time I’m only gonna have those two survive
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)
if chris managed to keep that lighter on him in the game, i firmly believe he would have kept it forever. it's from josh. sure, after a while, bob and melinda might have let chris collect a few tokens or things of josh's that maybe he gave him or were like ... special to them? but that lighter is the last thing josh gave to him. he probably put it in a drawer to "forget about it", convince himself it just makes him feel ... less guilty? or something close to it. but he always checks that it's there, and hasn't been moved, taken, or lost.
chris, worried about josh on the mountain: you okay bro, worried about you, care about you
josh, preparing to knock his bestie out with gas: I’m fine
The symbolism of hannah washington having a butterfly tattoo while she also undergoes a horrific metamorphosis and transforms into a monster that doesn’t even resemble her old self anymore
no offense but Emily slapping Ashley in Until Dawn is the most iconic thing I’ve ever seen in a video game.
they remind me of eachother
when i reread josh’s report i noticed that he was taking 90 milligrams a day. AND HE QUIT IT JUST COLD TURKEY OUTRIGHT !!
i’m genuinely surprised at how he managed to keep it all together when everybody got to the lodge.

hannah’s diary is the saddest clue in until dawn, exhibit A:
“i really think josh is doing better now that he's out of the hospital. i saw him today and he seemed better. he's pretty upbeat, but he talked like he's been doing therapy for such a long time. i guess i didn't know. mom and dad never let on. funny how you can not even know your own brother. i kinda need a good cry thinking about how lonely he must feel...”
this says so much about how much josh was already struggling before the disappearance of his sisters, and what his relationship with them was like. they were so close and yet he still managed to hide an integral part of himself from them. hannah realizes there’s more to josh than meets the eye and her first instinct is to think of his feelings and how terrible it must be to feel so isolated. they loved each other so much. i’m sick

dead boy detectives deserved not just not to be cancelled but also to have at LEAST 20 episodes per season. i can't think of any concept for a show that is better suited to having filler episodes. let them just solve some silly cases sometimes
I haven’t watched Gravity Falls in literal months but like…..tonight I was on a baby naming website….and just
His name….literally……means….to cut down trees.
Dipper and Mabel’s last name is Pines.
I hate everything.
How did I NEVER notice this?????
Severance is a story about capitalism profiting out of a poor person's grief. It's so obvious now and so well done I can't believe at some point we thought it would be about clones and sht
Charlie Day may be 5'7" but Charlie Kelly is 5'4"
Severance really crafted two of the most well written, endearing romances in recent television and then sharpened them into daggers to cause only pain
the thing about professor!mark being so hot is that it implies that every day of filming they sit adam scott down in the hair and makeup chair and say "okay now make him look like shit"
season 2 of severance is so wild, first they go outside and now we found out that one of the guys used to have books in his home
obsessed with the Helena and Irving parallel and what it says about the aspects of our identity we think are fundamental (but aren't)...
Like Outie Irving assumes his Innie is just as radically anti-Lumon as he is. He assumes his hatred of Lumon is something ingrained in his personality! That's why he stays up at night drinking coffee and making paintings, because he hopes that when his innie dreams about the testing floor, he'll say "okay bet" and start exploring. That's what Outie Irving would do, after all. But he miscalculated! His hatred of Lumon isn't inherent--- his desire for meaning and art and spirituality is inherent. That's what his hatred for Lumon is built on. But in a world where there's no meaning outside of Lumon propaganda, of COURSE his innie would become ridiculously devoted to the company.
And Helena!! She is the corporation, that's her whole identity. She presumably assumed that Helly would be just as pro-Lumon as she is. But she miscalculated too! Her devotion to the company isn't inherent, her headstrong and entitled nature is what's inherent! And in a world where she's denied any agency whatsoever, that manifests as rebellion.
It's the same dynamic flipped on its head. They both sent their innies in there with opposite intentions--- one to take down the company, one feed the company's expansion--- only to realize that rebellion and devotion aren't inherent characteristics. Their innies have become the exact opposite of their outie selves, while still being exactly the same!! Because even though your personality is inherent, the values you hold are determined circumstantially. OUGH IT'S SO GOOD.
