Severance Really Crafted Two Of The Most Well Written, Endearing Romances In Recent Television And Then

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)

THE PITT AYESHA HARRIS as Dr. Parker Ellis -> 1x14 // 1x15

i fear joshua washington did nothing wrong. if my sisters disappeared because not just my friends, but theirs too decided to pull a prank that humiliated one of them to the point of running out of the cabin and the other running after to console. i too would have lashed out. and to top it off, josh was highly medicated before they disappeared and then stopped taking his meds. COLD. TUEKRY. i'm surprised he didn't actually kill one of them

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

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

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

Charlie Day may be 5'7" but Charlie Kelly is 5'4"

i also don't think Whittaker and Santos would tell anyone they're living together. Whittaker would be like i can't tell anyone i moved in with Santos or they'll find out i was secretly living in the hospital and Santos is like i can't tell anyone i let Whittaker move in with me that'll destroy my reputation. so they just silently agree to arrive at work separately and not discuss it at work.

eventually after like 6 months Whittaker lets it slip and everyone's very confused bcos firstly no-one thought they were friends and secondly why have they kept this totally normal thing a secret
