No Offense But Emily Slapping Ashley In Until Dawn Is The Most Iconic Thing I’ve Ever Seen In A Video

1.02 || 4.09

so basically

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

chang in the movie should either be a well-adjusted person with a partner and medication for his incalculable mental illnesses or like he was in season 3 but ramped up 1000% and just have him be completely fucking mental. no in between.

does this make sense

(i saw someone talking about their dynamic and shbwbsbwhdbekdjw so enjoy this 5 pixel edit i made on picsart 2 minutes ago)

CHARLIE IN A GRADUATION GOWN OMG HE KNOWS HOW TO READ NOW 😭😭😭

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)
