rewatching fantasy high (freshman year) and tbh i don't think i appreciated kristen applebees enough as a character when i originally watched it years ago. like i kinda get the feeling that her arc was meant to be more drawn out but got speedrun by her literally dying and meeting god in the first two episodes and getting SLAMMED into that crisis of faith head-first, and it honestly makes her into both a VERY FUN character to watch and a fascinating one

#shoutouts to ally beardsley for the characters they create fr (has only seen like 3 of them)#i also appreciate that kristen's crisis of faith is not fueled by 'god might not be real'#it is instead 'god is real and he SUCKED and also the community that raised me to believe in him ALSO SUCKED'#bc really whether or not god is real doesn't really matter. it's whether the people who act in said god's name are #meaningfully doing good or harm #and also if your god is a frat bro who can't handle being asked why good things happen to bad people that's probably not a fantastic god #jort post #dimension 20 #fantasy high #the whole fantasy high cast is so strong honestly. i think fig's still one of my faves (she was my fave on my first watch)#we love a punk rock bard who's really bad at pretending she doesn't care about her friends #and also loves both her cool devil dad and her cringefail elf dad #might post more as the rewatch goes on btw i have thoughts
