Survival Of The Fittest

So, this is my first official foray into the magical land of V4. Jacqueline Myrie has no Pregame threads, and 7 in game threads. So that’s pretty appealing. She also has a V5 meanwhile thread somehow so I guess we will see how this goes.

First up is her profile.

She has four interests, none of which besides her interest in “goth (or what she perceives to be goth) fashion” really grabs my attention from the get go. Apparently she is very child-like in appearance, and she masks this by dressing in black and wearing a ton of makeup. Sounds like something a teen would do. She dyed her hair a ton, but now keeps it her natural brown ad cut short. Seems like more info than necessary. She doesn’t have a described island outfit, so I'm just gonna assume it’s probably black. That’s the end of her appearance.

Jackie’s parents were unprepared for parenthood, and had to make due, which is a nice bit of info. But two years later they had another child, and that seems unlikely for people who were wholly unprepared for kids 2 years earlier, but whatever, it could have been another accidental pregnancy. Her grandmother also moved in with them at this time, to help take care of the kids, which is a nice touch. She seems to have a rivalry with her younger sister for affection, which is a normal childhood thing between siblings, so I like that bit of detail. Jackie began to even resent her sister, which seems like it’ll be important.

The girls eventually bonded over a love for animals which is sweet. Jackie was also a late bloomer puberty wise, and she had a bad attitude which lost her friends at school. Even worse, was that her sister was the opposite, and already taller than her after just beginning puberty. Her family also took yearly camping trips, and she felt most at home there, which is sweet. Her grandma died when she was in eighth grade, which began her transition into goth-hood. Sounds reasonable. Her sophomore year also saw the death of her father, which is very upsetting. Poor girl has had it rough. Aww, but their father’s death brought the two sisters closer, and kept them close forever which is super beautiful.

Damn then her boyfriend dumped her for her best friend, which is rude AF, which sent her into a depression. Aww but this brought her even closer to her sister and the two became inseparable. That's super awesome and sweet. I love it when siblings get along. Most of Jackie's friends going forward were her sister’s friends first, but she was okay with that apparently. She started to volunteer at a library, and dated other boys, and so on and so forth. Her disadvantages seems to rely on the fact that she isn’t well liked by the other students, so I guess we shall see.

Overall, i liked her profile, and an=m genuinely interested to see where this little goth girl goes on-island. Also- she gets plastic vampire fangs as her weapon, which i find to be hilarious.

Thread 1-

So she starts in the woods, midday through the first day. She finds her joke weapon and tries to put them in her mouth, to no avail because they don't fit. LMAO. I’m sorry but that’s amazingly hilarious and kind of sad. I like this bitch. She’s wearing cargo pants, and unzips them into cargo shorts. This girl is pulling a BBQ dad and I’m here for it. Then she just lays on the ground in defeat. Damn, i feel for her, I’d probably do the same, not gonna lie.

A chick named Alison enters the thread, whose weapon is an epi-pen. Seems about as useful as Vampire fangs, so i hope they team up. Also this girl hurt her shoulder when the terrorists dumped her on the island, so that's no fun. She stumbles upon our goth sleeping beauty and thinks she’s a corpse. LOL. she calls out to her anyway, just in case. This scares the crap out of Jackie, who pops up in a panic from her position on the ground. Jackie tries her best to be threatening and fails miserably. Allie quickly states she isn’t a threat, and a new character enters the fray. Some guy named Tobias.

Apparently the guy got attacked by someone already, and he is pretty pissed about it. He spies on the girls, hoping to steal a weapon from one of them. GOOD LUCK BRUH. Another kid enters the thread, by the name of Sofia, followed by another kid named Michael. Mike runs into Sofia first, before they get to where the other kids are. This is about Jackie tho, so i wont talk about what they’re up to. Jackie has a bit of a mental back and forth about trusting Alison, but she notices the other two approaching and tells Allison to be wary, hiding herself behind a log. Allie joins her behind the log for cover. Just as soon as he entered, Tobias is off to another thread. Bye bro.

Sofia has a song-post, because that was a thing back in the day I guess, and her and Mike seem to realize that there were others around before and now they can't see anyone. Jackie bites the bullet (Figuratively) and shows herself, trying to gauge how dangerous the others are. She says if they try anything she’ll hurt them, and Allie chimes in with the threat of throwing a rock. Oh boy. Sofia and Mike make some jokes, and Jackie thinks they’re being a tad too relaxed. I agree bish. Jackie flips on them, and GTFOs out of the thread with a giant “Fuck you!”

On to the next.

Thread 2 -

Jackie and Allie are still together, so that’s nice. But we time-skip a bit all the way to the afternoon of day three. They’re at a church, and Jackie goes in to investigate, finding some corpses and an abandoned duffel bag. Swiping the bag, she returns to her companion with the dead students rations. Allie mentions she can cook up something. A girl name Annalise enters the thread, and quickly calls out to Jackie. Jackie invites her to join them for a meal, but her inner thoughts point to her just wanting to get a weapon. Annie joins them and pulls out her assigned weapon (which she has no clue what it is), and Jackie is visibly jealous. Its apparently a ninja-star or something? IDK it isn't made very clear.

Next a girl named Lily enters the thread, covered in blood, fleeing from some other students. She walks up to the girls and says hi, and then another kid named Kevin stumbles upon the thread. He hides and watches them. Seems to be a running theme in these threads. Annie greets Lily, and two kids named Andrea and allen enter the thread. That makes 6 kids i think. The newbies run into Kevin, so I'm not too interested in what they're up to.

Back to Jackie.

She finds a sword in the duffel she grave-robbed, and threatens Lily with it immediately. Lily is talking in like- reporter speak or something? It’s kind of unsettling and i feel bad for the girl. And oh shit, she starts the crazy train real fucking quick.

"Maclaughlin is also implicated to be the killer in the latest murders of three more high school girls. All three were found shot multiple times by a high caliber handgun. It is suspected to be a crime of passion." Lily moved closer, her hand shuffling around in her bag as if she was having trouble finding what she was trying to grab.

"Bayview Secondary High School will hold a memorial service for the girls next week."

Annie obviously freaks out at this, and Jackie runs up to the crazy bitch and hold her sword to the girl’s throat, grabbing the hand looking for her gun. Lily struggles and slits her neck on the blade. Jackie freaks out that she actually killed another person, and listening to the sounds of the other girl choking on her own blood, loses it and slams the blade down on her neck, killing her and ending the choked noises.

Well that escalated quickly.

Andrea reacts with a shout, and Allie demands an explanation from Jackie. Allen freaks and exits the thread. Kevin quickly follows suit. Annie freaks and says she’s gonna get the hell out of dodge, and andrea leaves the thread soon after. Jackie tries to defend herself, and flips out on Annie for trying to leave. Allie tries to be understanding, but her survival instinct kicks in and she dips out of the thread. Annie quickly follows, leaving our girl Jackie all alone. Jackie stays there for a long while, falling asleep from the stress and waking up with a renewed vigor, vowing to prove herself better than that bitch Annie.

Thread over. What a ride.

Thread 3 -

Jackie enters the beach and takes another nap. This chick really likes to sleep. Reiko arrives and screams out a well placed “Fuck”. Some chick named Courtney comes in next, and greets Reiko. Jackie wakes up to the aforementioned fuck, and is greeted to the morning announcements, cementing her place as a killer on the island. Not only does she hear this, but Allie, her previous companion, had also met her end the day before. Jackie it ht hard by the news, but she isn’t saddened by this, but she vows not to be weak enough to be killed in the same way. She notices the other girls on the beach, and realizes that Reiko is a big-time killer. She pulls out her knife just in case she has to fight. Reiko and Courtney face off, and a kid named Jimmy enters the thread, followed by another named Alan. They approach the standoff. There's some back and forth here.

Oh man, what a clusterfuck.

You read my mind Jackie.

Reiko shoots at the boys, and kills Jimmy with said bullet. His death is very drawn out and extra. Whatever. Courtney gets a shotgun and starts telling Alan to slap Jimmy awake and GTFO. Another kid named Ash enters now, and Courtney dips out of the thread, followed by Alan. Not a lot of Jackie in this one it seems. Ahh, she’s back, and screaming at Reiko that she's a murderer just like her. Waving that knife of hers around. Gun beats knife sillybean.

Reiko threatens to add her to her growing pile of corpses if she doesn’t leave, and Jackie GTFOs in response. It seems that this is the original handler (ella)’s last post with her as she was adopted off. Well i guess we shall see what happens next in Jackie's tale with a new driver in the front seat. Next thread.

Thread 4 -

This one is quick. She comes in, falls asleep, wakes up, and leaves.

NEXT

Thread 5 -

Jackie in in another part of the woods now, and her only goal seems to be killing Annie from earlier. And sleeping without sleeping. I feel her on that one. She comes across some other characters in what looks like a standoff. Two more kids show up, but also hide themselves the way Jackie has. More non-Jackie stuff happens, and another kid comes in. Jackie keeps hiding, but preps herself to attack if the opportunity arises. Some shit happens, and Jackie realises that sitting around and waiting for something to happen is stupid, so she sprints off to another thread.

Thread 6 -

This one is short and sweet as well. Jackie comes to the cliffs, and thinks about how all she's been doing is finding a bunch of people and chickening out and running away. She then apparently takes a piss next to a bush (Crass but hey, when you gotta go you gotta go), and then sits on the side of the cliffs and wonders if she could dive into the water below and swim to freedom. Joe Rios shows up, and greets Jackie. She looks at him and tells him goodbye and dips out of the thread, listening to something on a megaphone. IDK what it was, but we’re gonna follow Jackie to her last thread.

Thread 7 -

Looks like this is the rescue thread.

Ahh, now I see what the megaphone was about. So they’re here to rescue the kids. Jackie is the first to arrive. She runs up to the STAR member (Jaxon), and just like that, she’s rescued.

That’s all for Jackie Myrie.

Conclusion -

All in all, I rather enjoyed Jackie’s story for the most part. Her early game is definitely much stronger than her late game, where i feel like all she does is enter threads just to run out of them right away. Some of that could be contributed to her being adopted off, as when ella was writing her she felt much more like a fully fleshed out character. I would recommend Jackie to anyone looking for a short but fun ride, with the caveat that her last few threads are pretty short and boring on her end.

First thought: I knew she existed but I never really read her. I learned what Godspeed meant because of her so thank you Rachel for enlightening the way, amen. The minute I rolled her, everyone was like “omg lore got rachel, thats so messed up”. Not the last part but it’s added for comedy effect so get used to it losers, and like everyone had their thoughts and opinions on her. I’m interested with how she’s going to turn out because she sounds like a character with a capital C. Also she was adopted by someone who is still around which means I can bother said person for like at least one time and maybe include their thoughts here .

Profile: Right off the bat, this is v4-era writing. The tone isn’t formal, like at all. It’s something of v4 and it’s okay on its own but it wouldn’t fly by for today’s standards. However I have to admit that the appearance might be short but I can easily picture her in my head. I don’t know if it’s because I handled crazy christians in the past but I can See Her In My Head. She also lacks an outfit for the island. I’ll assume she’s wearing a nun outfit from now on. Here’s some of my favourite part of her appearance:

“Rachel is attractive in an ugly-person-on-the-inside-but-what-a-body kind of way. [...] and sporting a not-small 34B cup measurement (or whatever the term is) [...]”

That’s what I mean by v4 writing. Due to the size of Rachel, I’m not calling her fat, I won’t be taking quotes from every threads but you bet your ass I’ll pick the funny ones. Like the one above, like...... whatever the term is? I wrote that.

Here’s her profile, for reading along purpose. I should make an audio book omg, I could totally do that.

https://sotf.wikia.com/wiki/Rachel_Gettys

I want to mention that this biography has three paragraphs and has 7 sentences in total. This isn’t a drag, but like.... the first sentence is literally a third of the overall profile, it’s a long ass sentence. I recommend going to read it on your own because........... I honestly love it. The tl;dr about her is that she’s a rich christian white girl with possibly racist evangelist parents who got their money from slavery. That’s. A lot to take in at once, but I think that I will be able to handle it unless she just like lynches someone. Apparently she witch hunts on the island but that’s because Jesus told her so. It’s different from racist lynching, you see.

Her advantages are being a hick, and having done sports. Literally that’s that.

Her disadvantages are being a “prize bitch” and having made people mad at her from being like racist and all.

Her two hobbies are christian club and hockey, I think I need to mention it but it’s not really like a key part yet. I think the christian thing will be more active soon.

Staff evaluation: It should have been “Kumbayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa my looooooooooooord” and call it a day.

Thoughts of Blastinus: “Rachel Gettys was uncomfortable to write for me because she was as full of straw as a fundamentalist character could be.
It was difficult for me to even make sense of her enough to write her.”

Pregame time, murderfuckers: I misspelled that. Anyways, let’s start like every good christian girls: in a club!

Rachel’s first thread is For The Kingdom, The Power And Glory Are Yours, this is a reference to like God and something. Not really a content warning, but she throws a racist slur randomly, so keep tha tin mind. Fits for a soon-to-be crazy christian, she immediately starts being a little bitch about Jesus. She arrives in the club and she’s like “my little followers will arrive soon, haha.” That’s very anime of you, not very god approved. She is joined by what I assume to be other club people, Tifanny and Sapphire, and Rachel is very happy to see them. She’s like “omg eat my cupcakkes bitches” and they are like “hail jesus, cinnamon time.” Bobby sounds like the odd one out, because he isn’t a girl and he doesn’t sound very jesus-y. The whole premise of the thread is that Rachel wants to be president and she is met with some opposition. It’s a pregame thread so as you might expect from me, I’m not too enthralled because I don’t like slice of life. I do however recommend reading it because it’s a solid introduction to Rachel’s psyche. She’s a god loving christian who happens to use her god to make friends, and can you blame her? Yes you can, that’s why you should read it. She really shows her true colour: a bigot. Let’s see how that develops!

Second thread time: An Apple a Day. She isn’t the op but I’ll give the tl;dr. Erik and Chloe are just chatting about like breaking leg business and it’s honestly kinda cute. I wonder if they are a couple or something. Anyways, they are eating lunch when Rachel, our favorite(?) bigot, with her friend Bobby walk in and decide to get a Caesar salad. I won’t lie, I never liked Caesar salads, I should try one. Anyways, Erik wants to invite her to the table, and Chloe is like.... no please. Understandable, by this point, she already earned a reputation. She proceeds to run away after being kinda hit on, it’s awkward, she also mentions the Original Sin, which might be a reference to the whole scene and how she doesn’t want to be around them. Do I recommend reading it? Sure, but she isn’t at the centre. She’s a supporting character here.


In the third, Asian Impact, Rachel picks back up her role as main character. Interestingly enough, she isn’t the thread starter which I would have expected from her because... I don’t know I’m used to people starting their own thread. The character is Ayn Mazumatsuzaki, which is a long name and I don’t think she went on the island. She’s on her chair and she falls because it’s chair and it was on two legs, so that’s where Rachel comes in. She is going to the library for her bio class while thinking of her potential boyfriend, Bobby, and she’s like “I want a pretty conservative dress but also sex is evil and destroy virgins “ until she sees Ayn. It’s another exhibit of Rachel being a terrible person for fun: she sees a girl on floor being hurt and she’s like ‘I’ll go do my homework lol’. You can read this thread if you just want to see her being petty. It’s not the most important thread in pregame for her.

On the fourth day, that bitch had a date in Every Girl's Dream, she takes the lead with Bobby. It’s their thread before prom where they are doing prom things. It’s one of the first time she actually shows some vulnerability, which is interesting because before that she was just racist and a terrible person to be around. It’s an important thread for pregame because it gives another aspect of her life other than her being a shit person. I do enjoy the thread a bit more than the previous ones because she isn’t being petty for no reasons. See, I assumed she would petty but in a different context than like ‘hah she tripped dumb bitch’ and more like ‘my god hates you now’ type of petty. I very recommend reading this thread. This is the second most important she has simply because she isn’t being a terrible person and it gives her some sort of characterization other than racist christian.

Her final thread is the climax of pregame for many characters, it’s The Dance Must go on! For Rachel? Not really. Sadly, she only has one post and she is overflooded by the rest of the posters. One of the most iconic quote is from Vicki’s Isabel and it stuck with me: "I suppose I’ve been having so much fun I forgot about hydration.” That’s all I have to say about that thread. I assume the handler got busy and was like ‘too many people posting aaa i dont know what to do’ which is relatable. Bobby does have an appearance and it’s more constructed but I’m also not doing him, so someone else is going to handle that. Not recommended.

Pregame thoughts: It’s not solid but she has two good threads that should be read before her island time: For The Kingdom, The Power And Glory Are Yours and Every Girl's Dream. They both shows what type of character Rachel is with a lot of context and introspection. The other threads are fine but it is not the most important characterization of her. Also fun fact, I got an allergic reaction after reading her pregame so I’m going to blame her if I die. I shouldn’t meddle with the essence of the world like that, but I’ll do it anyways.

Main game: Right off the bat, I’m greeted with bright yellow text on white background in Take, Eat. Honestly, I kinda want to die and/or commit a felony. It’s not like that on the new board but that was a disgusting surprise since that was the first thing I saw when I hope up. This is chaotic and I’m a gemini. Anyways, this is the beginning of Rachel on the island. I will continue to rate the thread by ‘do you need to read it’ with content warning, but I assume every thread will be important one way or another. She is the OP of the thread and she starts out talking to God about what she has to do on the island. I believe she’s one of the more iconic ‘christian killer’ archetype so having it right off the bat is really a favour to her character. Even if it’s a questionable base, I do think when you are playing a character like that, you are better playing open-decked and going ‘shes crazy because of god’ and not like.... try to make a fun little reveal because that might be too hard to achieve depending on your writing skills. Also funny part: I can work this out. It's not like I'm in a rush. He can wait. Personally, I do think it’s a solid first thread because it sets the tone for the character. Now it depends on whether or not she continues to have the same tone and with the same intensity.

Her second thread is Keeping the Faith and she immediately starts it by being, again, a bigot. This time, it’s a slur (?) toward European immigrants or something? I don’t know I’m learning so much with her, I’m growing stronger in the racist christian white girl department. Last thread, we knew she strayed away from reality with her tiny speaking to God moment, but right now, we can clearly see that she is kinda going insane because she pulls out her tambourine and starts singing "Shine Jesus Shine". I’m going to listen to it and give you my honest onions after this thread. So she meets her first kill, Theo Berh, which she attacks after Super Llama’s character, Sebastian, taunts her about Jesus Christ. Basically, Sebastian memes and Theo is like ‘I just walked here hello’ and Rachel jumps him and shoves him into a cliff and she falls after him. After the tangle, Rachel picks up a rock and starts stabbing Theo in the face, killing him. In that moment, she realizes she killed the wrong person and the other guy is like ‘uh I’m right here’ and she’s like ‘fuck’. Injured from her fall, she picks up a stick and heads to an infirmary on her map. I like this thread despite her speaking to God with the bright yellow text because she actually feels more like a character here. Yes, she is very strawmanny, but she also sounds like a person who made a mistake and she’s actually realizing it. She hasn’t gone down the deep end yet, but it’s something to come. Shine Jesus Shine is honestly a banger, like........ okay christians have some good music, shit.

On the second day I believe, she has her third thread: Going Round in Circles. Her boyfriend-ish, Robert Barron, is the OP. Despite this, she also meets her second kill, Edward Belmont. The thread starts off normally, in okay quality, but it’s obvious at this point Rachel is actually insane now. She tells her boyfriend and Edward about the mission God has given her, and when Edward decides to go ‘this is fucking stupid’ she whacks him with her walking stick. This awards her a new weapon. Keep in mind Edward is 6 feet tall and Rachel is literally a foot smaller than him, and with one blow to the head with the tree branch, she murders him. That’s one of the first.... questionable moment in term of realism? Like obviously she’s insane, but this kills just feel sloppy? Not in IC term, but it sounds like they just were like ‘yeah stick on head bye’ and called it a day. The thread does continue and you can see the reaction of Rachel’s boyfriend. Robert slash Bobby freaks out for a good reason: his romantic interest just murdered someone and she’s obviously out of it. He tries to reason with her and I honestly think the MVP in this thread is Bobby. He really help Rachel’s characterization. She gets mad at him for questioning her delusions but he obviously cares about her in a way that’s kinda touching. At this point in the thread, it is joined by several handlers who kinda messed up the post order. Rachel doesn’t see action until she is adopted by Blastinus. At that moment, the narrative does change a little because it’s a new handler obviously, but also because she just rejected her boyfriend’s advice to stop killing people for Jesus.

Pigeon review: She’s obviously not a character made to be liked, especially with the fact she’s a hardened bigot. Despite this, she is an enjoyable read because she’s not offensively bad. Is she the best v4 character out there? No, but she is still average? Good would be reaching, but she isn’t as bad as the impression I got from her when I started reading her. The main game really helped with her characterization and I hope that with a new handler, it’s going to improve. Pigeon!Rachel gets 4 crazy christians out of 10.

Her first thread with Blastinus and her fourth island thread overall is Wind in the Willow. She joins sixth but I will resume the action before that. Marty and his group, Jake Crimson, Anna Chase, Aston Bennett, and Michelle O’Cain, arrive at the clearing without a real plan in mind. From what I gathered, they left a scuffle or something and things were lost and people were hurt. And Anna is like “we could make aspirin with willow bark” honestly mood me too girl. A guy is unconscious and I assume it will be the premise of the thread Anyways, Rachel joins after the group and with the new direction that Blast is going with, instead of threatening them right off the bat, she tries being a good christian and asking what is up with them. The group is surprised by Rachel’s appearance and they quickly start talking among themselves about how she’s a killer and she’s like..... damn I must respond to that, so she explains her mission and justifies her last kill. The group is not buying it. Realizing the group wasn’t into it, Rachel is like “god bless u, sinners fuckers” and is like “a fireball could kill them all” and she walks away. Not much happens on her side, but this is a fun cameo.

Second Blast thread, False Hope, is another short thread. Rachel comes across Gary Griffin, who happens to die next thread from inactivity, who is searching for his friend Rein. Despite being a small thread, not with a lot of writing, I really enjoyed it. I feel like with Blast, Rachel gained a new awareness of herself and of her environment. I always love when characters picks up on things other people said from the past. Like Rachel finding a gun and going ‘why would you get the rest but not the gun?’ and noticing the destruction in the sawmill and going ‘mmm i dont want to be around who did that.’ This is small details but I really enjoy them. So, yeah, honestly I love this thread because it shows Rachel isn’t going to stab anybody for fun, but she really believes what she is doing is right, and while being conscious of her universe, she manages to twist it into her own interest and believes. It’s honestly great.

Thank you for xylophone fairy for informing me what day is it in Don't Fear The Reaper, I do wonder if Rachel will bring it up. With her ‘i have 3 days and 3 nights to save my people ’, I hope that was something that was carried on or at least addressed with Blast, but I’m not there yet. This is another small thread I enjoy. Despite not being huge on posts, not lot of action, it’s more psychological and interesting than like the three first threads on the island she has. What’s interesting is that she meets her now ex-boyfriend who ‘betrayed’ (didn’t join her cause) her and one of his ally. Rachel is shown that despite being kinda insane at this point, kinda i mean a lot, she is still very aware of her situation. She knows that she can get Robert to do help her out, especially with her injury, because of their past bond. She admits to herself that she hates it, but she still goes through it. I do like how her thought process is going now and I do prefer Blast’s version of it. Is Rachel still a piece of shit? Yes, but she feels more human.

Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly is Rachel’s second to last thread, her seventh, and Blast final thread handling her. Yeah, I will do a little thing about him dw. I love this thread because honestly Blast did a good job toning down Rachel but also still keeping her insane and manipulative. Despite her not getting any kills for the duration of Blast’s time, I feel she is way more evil than she was before simply because it feels she realized there weren’t any going back now. Even if the 3 day limit thing isn’t mention, I like to believe it was something that was weighting on Rachel’s mind and was the reason why she started doubting her own sanity at the beginning of the thread. Solomir’s adoption doesn’t bring anything new to the table, and from my understand, they swapped Rachel for another character so I’m kinda feeling eh about that. I’ll talk about it more in the last evaluation. I’m just sad there weren’t more interactions with Barron because their relationship was really interesting, his handler went inactivte and his death was carried out by staff so that kinda sucked honestly. I would have loved to see the drama between Rachel and Robert blowing up instead of him just walking off and dying. Nothing much to say about Solomir’s entrance yet because he basically just took her out of the thread to move her to bloodgarden, yet there isn’t much difference between blast!rachel and solomir!rachel.

And now, the finale, Bloodgarden also known as blood in a garden that was made out of bodies, and that’s the eight thread. If I have to be honest, learning that like Solomir just swapped his character for an adoptee kinda rubs me in the wrong spot? So I don’t know, I’ll try not to be mean but it just feels kinda scummy and like..... I don’t know if I gave one of my kid to someone and they just swap them out I’d be like...................................................................... okay. But first, Blast write up time!

Blast review: Honestly, Blast took a character that wasn’t the best and made it into something that wasn’t bad. Sounds like I’m insulting him but he actually did a good job with what he had, he managed to control certain aspects that made her iffy with Pigeon but accentuated others to make her more interesting and less dull to read. Even if there weren’t any actions with Blast, it felt like a lot was happening inside of Rachel’s mind and her revelations. I would have love to see something between Barron and her happening but I understand real life kinda sucks sometimes so yeah. Honestly, Blast’s Rachel was good. Blast gets 7 you tried stars but with jesus out of 10

Anyways, murder time. Bloodgarden, eight thread, death thread of like 6 people. I won’t give like a ‘what happened last on Bloodgarden’ because its a long thread with many characters however I can make it a small summary. Our boy Liam goes insane and starts murdering people and arranges their corpses around. When Rachel arrives with Neill, he’s in the process of settling down after fatally injuring Duchy and Kimberly being like ‘fuck u poser’. Obviously Liam isn’t into people ruining his land arrangement by stepping on it so shit hits the fan. Honestly, Solomir does something I didn’t really expect: Rachel is now a certified exorcist and she’s going to save Liam’s soul. I don’t understand why that would like... happen? I guess they wanted to make it dramatic but it comes off as unintentionally funny. The only character who I actually feel bad for and actually made me feel something was Neill who’s like ‘im stuck with two crazy, why am i here’. So Liam is like ‘ill play along lmao’ and rachel is ‘omg its working !!’ but its not and like Liam is like “yeet” and blows a couple of holes in Rachel. I wish I had more to say but its. That. Like honestly, I don’t like Solomir’s version of Rachel. She just feels like a character who had better to do than like do a random exorcise for the lulz and then get shot. She feels like fodder, and that’s really sad. Also her God yellow text come back so I guess Solomir did their readings at least? Solomir!Rachel is 2 exorcism certificats out of 10, like..... they didn’t try, I honestly feel bad for Rachel. Her legacy is Neill and he doesn’t last long because he is killed by Liam. So yeah. Lmao? I guess.

Final thoughts: I feel bad for Rachel that she is mainly recognized for her time with Solomir. No, she was the best with Pigeon and Blast did his best with what he had, but she was still something more than fodder. I understand why people were like ‘lmao’ but honestly, there’s much more to Rachel than a crazy christian: she’s also a racist.

Slurs count: 3
