Me Because I Have An Unhealthy Addiction To Characters Being Evil

for some reasons i can’t stop thinking about this silly little frame

If you take the incestuous codependency out of TCOAAL, there's basically nothing left of the characters, plot, or themes, so I have to assume the people who excise one of the siblings for the sake of an OC x Canon ship or butcher the Graves' personalities are in it for the game's aesthetics only. The phenomenon annoys me. TCOAAL is a cleaver-sharp critique of capitalism, Christianity, the nuclear family, and patriarchy, not a Pinterest moodboard. Even if you don't ship the Graves siblings, ignoring the lifelong influence they have exerted on each other, or else making Andrew into an emo daddy dom who did nothing wrong or Ashley into a nymphomaniac yandere goth gf, is antithetical to the source material and politically infantile.

okay so we won at a very funny cost

We don't see it. But.... She went to his office to cut her hair. She moved everything and then laid there. The braids he did for her. She was leaving them for him.

Omg. She loved and missed that old man so damn much.😭😭😭💣🦈💣🦈

"you're romanticize-"

me af

Begging antis to stop acting like mentally ill people are stupid or that all mental illness is the same.

"But- but so many proshippers are mentally ill! They won't be able to tell the difference between reality and fiction!" And then it's just a 30 year old with depression.

Literally had someone say that darkshippers are all as mentally ill as the girls in the slenderman stabbing so it's just a matter of time. Bitch that's untreated schizophrenia in neglected children. Not just any mental illness. There were many elements at play there.

pre game miu ohhhhgg...

ashley is such a broken girl, it's sad.

everyone in her entire life, even on some accounts her own brother, has told her that she is an insignificant, small, useless, loud, annoying, childish and irritating thing. everyone either talks bad about her directly, or has negative thoughts about her in the back of their minds. and she just lives in the label because she has, really, genuinely NEVER felt real love and affection before.

her parents conditioned her to be clingy to the one source of love that she could possibly scrape up. and even then, andy only loved her initially out of a familial obligation that he was groomed into upholding by his own mother, it's only with time (as stated in-game) that andrew grew to love ashley.

shes like a feral cat with no direction, she can't even trust the small crumbs of affection she DOES get from others, because theres ALWAYS a caviot, surely! so she pre-emptively lets the other know through aggression that she SEES through their "facade of love", "whens the carpet being pulled!! wheres the cameras!! because surely it must be a joke!!"

shes so neglected that even when she DOES receive love she doesn't know HOW to take it, so she just... responds in the only way she know how to. its so indecipherable in her brain to receive this affection that she just defaults to anger or discomfort because of its unfamiliarity. shes so lonely that shes convinced herself that Other People aren't worth it, because when have they ever been for her?

its why it makes me so upset to see people demean ashley to a one-note abuser with a shitty mom. shes so fucking scared and lonely you don't even KNOW. shes a cat that hisses and scratches at getting pet. shes scared.

you're so based for loving kuina from aib!!!! she's so good!!!! <3 <3 <3

Thank you so much!!! <3

And yes, she's so interesting, a girlboss and definitely the best girl ♡
