|| NOT your 'Final Girl’

−− The title of 'Final Girl' is something that Sam absolutely hates. It's something that was thrust on her without her permission (As it so often is), but this time it feels extremely disingenuous. In her eyes, it was something chosen for her and almost a self-fulfilling prophecy. Not only in the intended in-game trope, but also Josh's intention for his 'horror movie' had Sam as the final girl trope.

−− But when it comes to being labelled that post-prank, it's something that Sam has to really grapple with. She's not a horror fan, so the weight wouldn't strike her as hard as someone who was a horror fan. It holds weight, more so, as a reminder of everything; A reminder of her best friend who was transformed into a monster. A reminder of a prank she failed to do anything about. A reminder of the aftermath, and the friendships that were torn apart.

−− It takes a while for her to not bristle at the idea of ‘Final Girls’ and even longer to accept it. Sam doesn’t really see it as a badge of honor; she was assaulted by someone she thought of as a friend who wanted her to fill this role in a vision. And then by surviving the creatures on the mountain, she made this title come true. It doesn’t read as being a badass or a survivor, it makes her angry. Sam is NOT your final girl. She isn’t a final girl at all. She’s a girl who survived something shitty and is mad about it.

also just to clarify bc i think there’s an idea out there that’s actually incorrect: i am not “the until dawn fandom” or “deeply involved”, i have no cliques (just a partner who is my wife, so that would be a couple not a clique), and even my exclusiveness to my wife is (and thus her to me) just ship exclusivity … which most people practice to keep things unique and personal. ill even write josh with other josh interpretations so idk 🤷‍♂️ my exclusiveness to my beth is literally a brother-sister canon dynamic that we have been building on and wanna keep unique to them, it’s not meant to be threatening to anyone nor is it meant to isolate anyone. i am very slow, currently very sick, and very patient. im not fast as an rper, never have been, but i do value my people and connections. im not here to make a clique or a fandom or whatever, i literally write so much crossover content so idk where this idea is coming from but it is an insecure fairytale.

Vic, where do I start? It's been a YEAR, man, and I don't know how we got through it or how we're getting through this last little bit, but you've been most of the duct tape keeping my sanity together. Thank you. You're talented, you're kind, you're hilarious and I also have to thank you for getting me to read Anna Dressed in Blood, and also for giving me the last nudge back in March to play Until Dawn and get into my newest Loser Ass Popular Guy TM. We've laughed together, we've cried together, and though I wish it had been less crying, I wouldn't trade having you there for it. The real gift this year has been you.

With the final month of the year here, it’s your chance to send the mun or muse something you’ve wanted to tell them!

— Me, sniffing a little bit reading this. It’s been a FUCKING YEAR but we did it. New Years is going to be bittersweet; A day to show we made it through this cursed year, but also a sad reminder that our loves aren’t physically with us. You don’t have to thank me for Anna Dressed in Blood, OR Until Dawn. I’m thankful you love both of those as much as I do. I always appreciate our silly talks, and you putting up with my quirks (read; weirdness). I also wouldn’t trade having you here, either. Hopefully next year there’s less tears, though.

[actiongrrl]

— So, after a bunch of thinking and vacillating, and chewing on it I’m taking the next step and officially listing @jesvshotsaucechristmascake as my Exclusive Mike™️. This is nothing against anyone else who writes him, you all have great interpretations! But Stark and I have had so much development and plotting that I can’t picture Sam and I shipping with anyone else’s. Thank you guys for understanding, and happy writing!!

Also for clarification, this IS NOT a ship exclusive blog, I just don’t ship and write with other Mikes.

my 2024 end-of-year confession is that i think 2024 was our year to meet but 2025 will be our year to really write. ik this year was crazy for both of us, so i think that's the "coming together" part and 2025 will be the year we seal the deal so to speak. i'm actually super excited to see what we can create together, i really need to go back and re-read some of your headcanons again bc i enjoy that kind of thing personally, and overall idk i hope we can connect more! you've really been nothing but nice and polite on my dash, really friendly even with all the stuff going on with your life, so like it's appreciated that you've been so kind to everyone and welcoming and such! i notice it and ik others do too

With the final month of the year here, it’s your chance to send the mun or muse something you’ve wanted to tell them!

-- I think you're so right on the money with that assessment. 2025 is going to be our year, I can feel it. But I agree wholeheartedly with you with sealing the deal this upcoming year. I think between the both of us that we can come up with some really great and unique, fun things for so many verses (And Life is Strange! I'm always so happy to meet other LiS fans!) I definitely know we can connect more with all the things we have in common. If you're ever curious about headcanons hit me up, I have a ton that I just haven't gotten around to writing. I try to be kind and welcoming because everyone deserves a place here and you never know who could need that kind word.

[actiongrrl]

thank you for being such a positive presence and voice in the community, and your sam is such a lovely addition to my dash! i apologize i'm a slow roleplayer sometimes but i still always have fun when we interact, and i hope we can be mutuals for a long time yet :3

With the final month of the year here, it’s your chance to send the mun or muse something you’ve wanted to tell them!

-- MORGAN! Ugh, this was so sweet. I'm about to Uno Reverse you, because I feel the same about all your lovely muses. Your enthusiasm you have is so contagious! And don't ever apologise about your reply speed, life comes first. And so does interest! I love interacting with you, and I can't wait to interact even more!!

2024 is almost over!

With the final month of the year here, it’s your chance to send the mun or muse something you’ve wanted to tell them! Whether you haven’t had the chance to or you’ve been too shy, now’s the time to say what you feel, and don’t hold back!

Guess I’m the commitment type!

— I find it most rewarding and easier to really shine with plots if we really make an in depth world. Things spark better and you’ll get the best of my abilities that way. Continuity, established canon, world building, and an overarching plot is really what makes things fun for me! So;

Give this a like if you’d be interested in some in depth plotting! I’m talking a personal verse with its own canon, continuity, etc. This is the stuff that really gets me invested. It would give you those affiliate perks!!

[actiongrrl]

-- It's beginning to look like the holidays, and to celebrate let's have a winter STARTER CALL. Tap that heart and I will give you a random one-line starter. If you have a specific verse you wish, let me know, otherwise I'll wing it. Multis, PLEASE specify muse or you won't get a starter.

ˊ＊—⨳—＊` Sam had done a great job of avoiding near everyone in the aftermath of Beth and Hannah going missing. Well, everyone but Josh and Chris really. There wasn't anyone else that she wanted to see from that night, there wasn't anything that she wanted to say. They could scream from the rooftops that the intent was for it to be funny- For Hannah's crush to, maybe, be brought to light and for her to get over it. But it didn't matter what the intent was, only how it was received.

——— Scratching behind Rudy's ears, she didn't initially bother to check the text that caused her phone to chirp. Her gaze dropped to see Emily's name lit up, earning a sigh while the blonde's attention turned back to her cat. That was until the phone went off again, reminding her of the unanswered and unread message.

[ SMS ;; Emily Davis ] No. What is it?

——— The blonde mentally braced herself for a fashion question. Or something about her and Mike. Something trivial in the midst of everything, but obviously still important to Emily. She was somewhat okay at feigning interest, she did it all the time with Chris and his computer talk, and it was way easier to act invested over text. But, if it was something about Em and Mike, Sam wasn't entirely sure she wouldn't roll her eyes so hard that they would fall right out of her skull.

ㅤㅤ   thin  fingers  shook  as  her  thumbs  maneuvered,  pausing  after  every  few  taps  as  she  thought  long  and  hard  about  what  she  was  going  to  do.  Emily  knew  it  was  time,  it  was  probably  past  time  if  she  were  being  honest,  but  part  of  her  was  hesitant.  it  was  difficult  for  her  to  explain,  and  she  didn't  even  really  want  to,  but  she  needed  to  take  this  leap.  the  ball  had  been  left  in  her  court  -  TIME  TO  GROW  UP.

ㅤㅤ   [  sms  ;  Sammy  ]  are  you  busy?  no  biggie  if  so  -  just  had  a  thing  I  wanted  to  run  past  you.

ㅤㅤ   the  cowardice  of  the  text  message  made  her  stomach  retch  but  WHATCHA  GONNA  DO,  RIGHT?  apologies  didn't  come  easy  to  her,  and  Sam  knew  that  better  than  most,  but  this  time  she  was  going  to  have  to  swallow  her  pride  and  do  it.  she  hadn't  wanted  anything  bad  to  happen  to  Hannah  or  Beth,  but  her  complaints  and  Jess'  actions  had  done  a  terrible  thing. no one was outwardly blaming her, but her need to smooth things over with @actiongrrl was taking over.

— I’m such a massive grumpus today 😭 AND TO MAKE THINGS WORSE THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS WEEK I ORDERED A MATCHA AND ITS JUST BEEN WARM MILK. I honestly just think I need to eat. Anywho, I’m going to put up a plotting call! 💜💜

-- It's always discouraging when you see copying happening. Playing your own version of a canon character is fun because you can interpret things yourself! Make that muse your own and let them shine because of YOU and not because of what a duplicate of that muse is doing <3
