Veronica King - You've Come A Long Way, Baby - Midwood - 1969

I think the appeal of the male protagonists in things like Heathers and Labyrinth and Lisa Frankenstein is partly because... they take the female characters' emotions seriously. Like I'm not saying that they always make the best decisions about helping, but they take their girls seriously. Veronica is stuck with her image as a vapid party girl when she's slowly beginning to deeply loathe herself and those surrounding her; Sarah has her privacy dismissed by her stepmother simply because she's older than her toddler half-brother and shouldn't want to be selfish for once; Lisa is expected to just stop grieving the deeply traumatic loss of her mother because it's time for her to start playing happy families as a normal sister and daughter. And JD and Jareth and the Creature all listen. JD encourages Veronica to break free from what's expected of her and stands with her when no one else will. Jareth appears and offers to fulfill Sarah's unrealistic fantasies with magic. The Creature devotedly listens to every word Lisa says and protects her from anyone who has hurt her. Yeah, JD kills three people and has Veronica forge fake suicide notes to cover it up, and Jareth kidnaps Toby with the intention of turning him into a goblin, and the Creature goes straight to murder as his method of protection (in particular using methods that might even retraumatise Lisa), but that's all for plot reasons. There wouldn't be a story if there was no conflict. The fantasy is found in the way they listen when no one else will, and how the female protagonists have their negative emotions taken seriously when everyone else dismisses them.

Eddie: Wait… you believe me?

Bev: Ed, you’re one of the few decent people in the world. I’d believe you if you said cartoon birds brushed your hair this morning

I did a bit of editing to the template, but here’s my take on it lol

Not to be like this but if I had a fan favorite character I wouldn't kill them in the final season for "shock value"??? (Read: because I hate my fans)

OK SO BASICALLY. RIGHT.

idk who to have as the survivors in this because idk who / how many will survive but we obviously have teruko and im weirdly thinking Arturo? for no other reason than he just strikes me as an unlikely survivor.

BUT BASICALLY rose is considered a survivor with the rest of them and the usual "who's the mastermind!!" business goes around but they keep getting the wrong person. they keep pinning it all on teruko (or mayb someone else if i figure out a proper survivor bunch) until rose just. admits to it. and its so sudden that people think she's bluffing or trying to mess up the trial (which is weird for her) but she's really insistent.

Eventually he just starts talking straight to Monotv and is asking if they can all go now because she's done that she was told to. That's when it's like "nuh-uh-uh :))) remember everyone has to die!" and she's arguing and going against it. What does it expect her to do- kill the herself?? Her physical strength seems average at best (with her struggling to do a pull-up but still beating Hu in an arm wrestling game) and Teruko can't be killed.

Eventually the conversation changes to more of like. the deal that was put between XF-ture and Rose. She's saying how she's done all she can and how Monotv can handle the executions because she won't (or can't) do it herself. They briefly mention when XF-ture can do the memory erasal and Monotv just goes

"Oh! Never." :)

"What??"

"That was only part of the deal if you had succeeded. Which you have not." "If we let you go, you could spread information under our nose."

"We can't have that."

So this is when it gets like. insane and far more au then theory because wires and stuff physically imbed themselves into her as well as forces that sort of 'screen' over her eyes onto her. Anyone who tries to help is held at weapon-point and when Teruko decides to try (since she knows she won't die from the weapons one way or another) she's restrained by more wires. It's one big technological takeover and by the time Rose stops screaming she's basically part of the building's entire technology system. The others try calling out to her but there's zero response.

Monotv goes on to say how now Rose can perform the executions and how the information stored in her brain will be very useful to them ('them' being the XF-ture corporation and like. prolly mai im like 99% sure the new voice is mai).

Even if they do manage to make it out though Rose is stuck there for good. They could pry her out of the wires and machines but she'd die from Lots of internal bleeding before anything could be done.
