Happy One year anniversary since Eve and Villanelle ran away together to live their best gay life!

Luke Jennings spills the tea on why he decided to resurrect Villanelle after a talentless hack murdered his greatest character.

In this house we hate writers who fuck up something good by trying to change the trajectory of the story set up previously..

"there's a triumph in that scream" i'm about to do something that is going to make international headlines

[merevide]

i hope laura neal, sally woodward gentle, and all the producers/writers responsible for that ending get severely attached to a piece of media over the course of 4 years, and it consumes their entire being. i hope it grows in their brain like a parasite. i hope they love it to death.

and then i hope it ends in the worst way it possibly could, i hope it is dreaded. i hope it goes out in literal flames and not in a good way. i hope they feel that shit in their bones, i hope they feel it whenever they re-watch episodes of that show. i hope they feel it when the creators of the show give bullshit interviews about the characters and how the ending was ���glorious and triumphant’.  because that is what they are currently doing to the fans of killing eve and it feels like a slap in the face. i just want them to feel what we feel, understand how and why we feel what we feel, and come to terms with the fact that they fucked up badly.

The extraordinary every woman Eve Polastri, written by Laura Neal and Sally Gentle, NOT getting horny because a self-serving celestial psycho sent her fucking flowers.

So I’ve been doing most of my critique on twitter so I thought I’d put a more eloquent post about it on here.

For me, it’s not so much that Villanelle died. While S3 made me start wanting a more hopeful ending for them, I’ve always known that a tragic ending for Villaneve was very likely. But…everything about the way they did it leaves me very emotionally disturbed and upset, for several reasons.

I’ll get the obvious thing out of the way first. They could not have chosen a more cliche and tropy (in a bad way) of killing her. Queer woman finally gets a moments of happiness with her love interest after a long period of angst, only to get brutally killed via a gunshot shortly after that in front of said love interest. Like hmm…where have we seen this before??? It honestly astounds me that the writers room was filled with queer people this season and no one looked at that and told Laura Neal that maybe that wasn’t a good idea???? And the fact that they waited until the very last episode for Eve and Villanelle to be even on good terms with each other just adds insult to the injury. There was literally no reason they couldn’t have been together throughout S4.

Aside from that, the way Villanelle goes out contradicts everything I previously loved about the show. It’s like Eve and Villanelle were being punished for finally embracing the way they felt about the other. When I imagined a tragic ending for them, I always thought they would at least have some agency in their deaths. That they would go out TOGETHER and with a bang. Not tragically thinking they had made it together only to have it ripped away from them at the last moment. I did not find it satisfying to see Villanelle desperately trying to swim back to Eve before getting shot a few final more times. Nor did I find it satisfying to see Eve trying to reach Villanelle’s body and being unable to. Like…everything about that just seemed so overly cruel to me. And for me, Villaneve has always been about Eve and Villanelle feeling understood and free with each other in a way they never did with anyone else. And the fact that in the end, it seemed like the narrative was punishing them for finally embracing that just…deeply upsets me. This season was already a massive disappointment but that ending…wow.

I’m not even going to go into what Laura and Sally said in the interviews other than that it is all bullshit. (Sally Woodward Gentle has been spewing bullshit about Villaneve for years though, so no surprise there lmao). But I will say that using religious allegory to defend killing a gay character obviously isn’t a good look and again, I don’t understand why no one told them to maybe not do that.

Anyway I still love Eve and Villanelle and I will mourn what this show could have been if it had gotten into the hands of someone better than SWG. Fuck Laura and fuck Sally. Villaneve deserved a better conclusion to their story.

The True Confessions of Eve and Villanelle (original post by Villxnelle/Twitter)

[wearevillaneve]

I watched all of the final season for this and it almost made it worth it. But only "almost."

[wearevillaneve]

Did you mean...KILLING EVE?

Or just this talentless, homophobic HACK?

[wearevillaneve]

What a difference a year makes. No, wait. No, it doesn't. There's no difference at all. The Killing Eve finale sucked. It sucked harder than anything that could suck ever sucked before. I'm not sad or depressed about it though plenty still are. But angry? Oh yeah. I'm still angry. That's not different either. Fuck Sally Woodward Gentle and Fuck Laura Neal.

Because Sandra Oh updated her Instagram page today for like the first time in MONTHS. And to do what? It looks to add her own salute on this unhappy anniversary.

Coincidence? Maybe so. Probably no. If this is current, it does appear that Los Angeles-based Sandra is back on the streets in New York City. That's curious. Isn't there a one-woman play opening this week on Broadway starring someone Sandra used to work with? Why...yes. Yes, there is. Coincidence?

Maybe so. But probably no.

[wearevillaneve]

When measuring Laura Neal's writing "talent" Sandra's fingers should be closer together than that.
