Look in the mirror.

You see that badass bitch?

[misscammiedawn]

Hi, I've been reading your Mr. Robot essays and I must say I love them. After reading the brainwashing one, I was thinking if you can write one on Angela fully, especially what kind of mental illness she would have (maybe BPD and HPD due to everything she went through), the deconstruction of perfection, toxic positivity and toxic feminsm which lead to her believing in Whiterose and her betrayal of Elliot (maybe out of jealousy towards him as well)

Thank you so much!

I'll need to do some reading and thinking if I want to tackle the topic. Unlike the other characters Angela's mental illness is a lot more implied. We know outright that Darlene has Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Dom has a form of insomnia (or a more severe sleep disorder) and it is heavily implied Whiterose has a severe obsessive compulsive fixation with time.

Tyrell is another difficult one to pin down because his depiction in season 1 is a pastiche of Patrick Bateman from American Psycho (in the same way season 1 Elliot follows many beats from the narrator from Fight Club). I have read a lot of analysis on Bateman that pin him down as Antisocial Personality, Narcissistic Personality and Borderline Personality and with Bateman, a remorseless and delusional killer it's stigmatizing no matter what way you attempt to slice that pie. For Tyrell it's easier because he displays far more empathy, affection and elevated attachment.

Angela though?

Angela is super hard mode for the analysis. Not because there's nothing to bite onto, there's SO MUCH but because she is in complete denial of her failings. Denial is one of her biggest character traits. To the point of which she seeks and draws out affection entirely from places where she is outright refused it.

"That's the thing about Angela, she doesn't love the people who love her. She loves those who don't. This is her power-saver mode."

Angela is fairly horrid to those who show her affection. Her dad is nothing but kind to her and she ruthlessly breaks his heart before Whiterose brainwashed her. She betrays Elliot in Season 3. The only character in the cast that she is consistently good to is Darlene and she admits in dialogue that she always felt that Darlene looked down on her.

She's certainly Cluster B and as you say HPD and BPD are the best bets. That is all but guaranteed from her erratic and often contradictory behavior as well as her attachment issues.

Said attachment issues are literally the only way to explain the scene between Angela and Shayla in Season 1. The writing in Mr. Robot is so tight that a sequence of Angela and Shayla making out (when Angela already identifies her as "Elliot's girlfriend") was a bit egregious. If you put it into context of her being massively sleep deprived, high and in the midst of a manic episode that leads to her poor decision to get high on a work night, stay out all night and ends with her infecting AllSafe and calling Lawyers until the start of the work day... well it's still difficult to justify but it's consistent with the level of emotion and spite driven decision making she was utilizing at the time.

Another issue with analyzing her character is the muddy water around Doubelday's exit from the show. I read that it was related to a real-life relationship with Malek that ended poorly. Regardless we know her exit from the show was not on the best of terms because they needed to use archive footage and a body double for the finale.

I once read a theory that when the show was 5 seasons instead of 4 there would have been a plot involving Tyrell and Angela inside of E Corp and I would have loved to have seen the two most insecure characters bonding. We likely would have understood more about them through their similarities. They both look down upon their kind hearted(?) fathers, they both become erratic when they are disrespected and they both place far too high a value on how they are superficially perceived. The two are a mirror to one another and they spent a lot of time together in Season 3, though we didn't get to see it.

I feel both their arcs feel incomplete because they were snipped to fit the conclusion into 13 episodes. But that's just a personal theory.

Regardless. There's a deep well and I may tackle it at some point.

I'll try and think on how to approach her, Darlene and Tyrell at a later point but until then this Reddit thread is pretty dang amazing and does the topic justice:

MR. ROBOT REWATCH, 1x01: "eps1.0_hellofriend.mov"

-Elliot: "Hello friend." That line is so iconic and so it begins.

-"I did not hurt anyone." You're selling child pornography, dude. What do you mean you didn't hurt anyone?!

-Elliot, I don't he cares about your dad dying, unless you're not gonna turn him in.

-What an opening to the show and introduction to Elliot's character.

-Oh my God, I forgot how annoying Angela's boyfriend is.

-I love Elliot's monologue that he says in his therapist office.

-Bro, Elliot doesn't like you. Please go away.

-Tyrell! I forgot he was introduced in the first episode.

-That first interaction between Elliot and Tyrell is so weird. I can't remember if Tyrell is already working with Elliot.

-Shayla, my love!!

-First mention of fsociety.

-Gideon: "Did you know I'm gay?" Gideon, I don't know if this is the right time to just come out to your coworker.

-The first interaction between Elliot and Mr. Robot.

-Don't be mean to Shayla just because you forgot there was a possibility she would still be in your bed. Also, who cares if Angela sees?

-This interaction between Elliot and Darlene is so interesting when you already know they're brother and sister. Like how does Darlene not realize something is wrong with him?

-I love this scene between Rami and Christian on the farris wheel.

-I love how Colby kicking Angela out of the meeting made Elliot do what Mr. Robot asked him to do.

-I love that Elliot takes Flipper away from that dickhead.

-This shot of Elliot looking so happy in Times Square is so iconic.

-Elliot: "Please tell me you're seeing this too." Another iconic moment and I love that Rami Malek said that when he won his Emmy.

Look in the mirror. See that badass bitch? That’s the only person you should ever worry about.

[i-like-turkey]

I also have a quick and dirty Mr. Robot fic in my head. Would anyone read something featuring Angela/Shayla?

The urge to blow through the Wheel of Time books so I can write some super angsty Moiraine/Siuan fics. But it would probably take me a year to get through it cause ADHD and no time 😭

I'll settle for banging out more Cruz/Aaliyah. I'm on season 4 of my annual Mr. Robot rewatch. Once that's done, I can binge Lioness and get going on a fic or two for them.

MR. ROBOT REWATCH, 1x06: “eps1.5_br4ve-trave1er.asf”

-Oh, thank God, Shayla's okay. I was so scared.

-Wait, how did Elliot find her?

-Vera's brother took her?! Get your hands off her you asshole!!!!

-God, I hate Vera.

-Angela, what are you doing?

-Now, Darlene, what are you doing?

-Dude, why would you put a random flash drive you found on the ground into your computer and then start answering the questions it asks? Like are you dumb?

-Okay, you don't need to hit Elliot you asshole.

-Oh, so Darlene dropped those flash drives as a part of Elliots plan?

-Oh, shit, he knows about Tyrell walking in on his wife in the bathroom.

-Wait, is he firing Tyrell or just fucking with him?

-Great now Darlene's stuck in this mess.

-Angela now is not the time!!

-Joanna just sitting there calmly eating while Tyrell has a meltdown in the background is so funny to me.

-Angela wanting to know how Shayla is doing both makes me happy and sad.

-Mr. Robot basically saying "Fuck Shayla" is pissing me off.

-Mr. Robot: "Best thing you can do for Shayla, allow her to become a memory." That's it, I'm fighting his ass.

-You'll need to stop being such assholes to Elliot.

-Vera, shut the fuck up and stop drawing attention to yourself!!

-I think this is the most concerned we see Darlene show for Elliot.

-Oh, his brother wants to keep Vera in jail.

-Dude, I think Vera's brother is going to be dead by the end of this episode.

-Okay, so we're using Darlene as the decoy to distract the cop. Smart.

-It's smart of Elliot to get rid of Darlene so that he can keep her safe.

-Guys, I think we should leave before we're caught again.

-Shit, I knew he'd kill his brother. DAMN!!

-Vera is fucking crazy.

-I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THIS SHOW FOR KILLING OFF SHAYLA!!!!!

-SHE WAS TRYING TO CHANGE HER LIFE, SHE WANTED TO BE BETTER AND DESERVED THAT CHANCE!!!!

-Sidenote: The score during that scene is incredible.

[cyruskennedy]

follow up, i believe he really did love shayla and that later he really did love angela. it was awkward but not untruthful.

mfs be saying Elliot’s incapable of love like he didn’t love people through the whole show? it only ended badly because of the other person or another external force. he tries and wants to love, he doesn’t wanna feel lonely.

so just so everyone knows he would love me 😔🙏

Play the Hero (Mr. Robot)

Elliot and Elias Alderson are like any other set of twins—trading places, finishing each other’s thoughts, and dreaming of saving the world. When their personal vent comic goes public and ignites vendettas—both old and new—their quest for justice turns Funwell University on its head. As tensions grow and the stakes continue to rise, this might just be their hardest semester yet…
