[equalseleventhirds]

also i know that i am just like every other tma villain fan who gripes abt how the story did their fave wrong....... but also i'm right. like, annabelle more than other villains, listen, i can also explain,

#u kno how i said that like a lot of ppl were mad abt helen being killed bcos they'd made her into something she wasn't? #like there were Points Made abt her being sympathetic and tragic and having parallels to jon #but a. she didn't actually have nearly as many parallels to jon as annabelle does #and b. the story said YES she's presented as sympathetic and tragic and a foil to jon and that is the POINT #the story said she's been doing this on purpose in order to weasel her way into the place she is #she's that seemingly-nice but actually toxic friend #her parallels to jon served Narrative Purpose #just not the purpose some of her fans wanted her to serve #IN CONTRAST. annabelle's parallel's to jon? her own tragedy and sympathy and previously noted possible-unwillingness/resignation to #her status as avatar/servant of the web etc etc? #those aren't even ADDRESSED #they're never brought up in that final confrontation not even to call them all lies :( #annabelle is in fact the tragic sympathetic woc girlboss done wrong by tma that some ppl think helen is IN THIS ESSAY I #............i already did the essay huh. welp. #fandom wank #jfdklsfjs i'm SORRY i had a perfectly nice day i have just suddenly started This Whole Thing out of nowhere #look i loved helen but also i liked how the narrative handled her like... on a metaphorical level #did NOT like how the narrative handled annabelle. she deserved some depth gdi. #............this is what i mean abt how any story can be any character's story but annabelle more than most.
