goddd emily’s performance as saccharina was amazing. she’s powerful. she’s intimidating. she’s broken by her own expectations. she’s noble. she’s a scared little kid. she’s so wrapped up in her own emotions and experiences that they affect everything she does. she’s sometimes insufferable to the viewer, who has been with the rocks family this entire time. she’s a sympathetic character. she’s a badass, because she needs to be. fuck, what a character.

#me whenever saccharina monologues to ruby: oh my god stop itttt she’s grieving. also keep goinggg because its good story #i think a lot of viewers feel like. bc they have empathy and connection to ruby #-that they cant have the same for saccharina. bc shes so…insistent on winning affection from a family that is not ready to give her it #and it can conflict with ruby and our experiences so far. like.. who is this girl!! #but that kind of take really ignores the narrative impact saccharina has. how she’s coming into this story from another one—her own #and how the impact of jets death is the main reason ruby refused to let her in #plus how quick saccharina assumed shed be welcomed!! its unrealistic but thats not her fault for feeling disappointed. she had no frame of #-reference for how meeting the rocks family was supposed to go. their frustration was out of her control. yet she takes it personally #which is what a lot of ppl find annoying about her character. and like!! sure okay whatever but youre missing out on *why* all this conflict #-happens. *why* she acts the way she does. *why* it was the right choice to introduce her after jets death. #yeah. #acoc #dim 20 #dimension 20 #saccharina frostwhip
