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.
