I just want to ramble a little, because one of the latest reblogs evoked something in me, and I just want to make sure I'm not the insane one; also I've finally got around listening to Pamela's tapes from the FT13 game, and I'm kdjfksfjjefj-

! I may be adding something here and there throughought, because I seriously have a lot to say about all of this 😭

Because no matter what anyone tells me, I can't for the life of me be on anyone else's side, but Jason's. The franchise has some likable protagonists, obviously, and I rooted for them. My heart? Always on the Jason's side.

Like, I want you to picture what I'm seeing here, with added info from those tapes I mentioned.

TW sexual violence, abuse, ableism

Pamela- a woman living through 40s and 50s- already a tough situation if you know the historical context. At one point, a tragedy happened; an unknown man raped her- she doesn't want to talk about him, she doesn't want to remember him, she doesn't want to see this monster ever again. "It doesn't matter" she said to the police in the tapes. "What happened, happened." But she felt like he was still out there. Looking for her- and for the child he gave her with unspeakable violence. So she found Elias. Because he looked like someone who would be able to protect them. She married a different monster, it turned out. He also abused her - sexually, mentally and physically.

I feel like throughout it all, she managed to find strenght in her kid - someone who, due to his disability and ableism of the world, seemed far more vulnerable than her (and maybe because thanks to his disability, she just saw an innocent child rather than her rapist's face). And someone who loved her unconditionally- so she loved him back, despite how he came to be. I think she tried to be a strong person, and to shield her son from how cruel the world could really be- she knew it first-hand after all. The world already disappointed her, so maybe her child can have a shot, and she clearly tried her best- he was her perfect, little kid, no matter what kind of disgusting and atrocious things people were saying about someone who never did anything to them. She knows bad people. Her son wasn't one just because he looked different.

But Elias abused him too. She obviously snapped at that point. She murdered him for what he did - because unlike with the other despicable man, this time she was in control of what to do with him. Her son told her to do it too, he knew it too - or it was the first sign of how mentally disturbed she was because of her trauma.

She heard about Camp Crystal Lake later. It made itself to be something like a paradise, for kids especially. Of course she took it. Not only for work, but I think they made it out to be this beautiful and promising place for children - and her son deserved happiness too. But it wasn't. Other kids were cruel, and councelors were rude. Just because someone is born different. She tried her best to make him socialise, to protect him too. She was shielding him from others a little too much, sure- but considering her past experiences and the fact that she didn't get professional help, I don't blame her. In her eyes most likely, the world proved to her how fucking disgusting it can get to people who never even did anything to it.

Then, she heard it. Her child begging for help - probably just like all those times he screamed for help while his dad was hurting him. They told her that they can't find him later. She told them he couldn't swim. That they had to pay a little more attention. Her child- Jason- was probably her biggest, if not only, reason to still be alive, because he deserved to have support and genuine love, to experience what she didn't get to. He needed her, but suddenly he was gone. The police was called, she demanded justice.

She demanded something that she didn't get- so at least give it to a damn child. And they didn't.

On one of the tapes, the police even assumed that "he's probably dead already". You know why they automatically assumed that? Because he has a disability. They didn't even consider the smallest chance of him being alive, just decided he's no longer alive without even doing the search. She tried to find Jason on her own, of course. But obviously she couldn't, she's only one person. Not only the police didn't do anything useful- the councelors that were too busy with themselves were hired again. Without consequences. Without an apology. Without justice. Horrible people doing horrible shit and then living like nothing happened while others suffer. And she snapped again- trying to do anything in her power to have the camp permanently closed after her murders, so no other mother can suffer like her- like your heart was ripped straight out of your chest.

Jason had to live years in the woods alone. He probably wondered why all of this had to happen to him. In the comic of him and Leatherface, he still remembers his dad's abuse too. All of that because of how he looked- hating it himself up to the point of covering his face (I think the fact that the bag on his head is tied perfectly shows that he really doesn't want to give anyone/anything a chance to take it off and see it). Only his mom loved him, no one else in his life showing him this much care and genuine appreciation for existing.

And then, he sees them. Everyone just happily visiting Camp Crystal Lake. Partying. Living. Nobody even once wants to genuinely acknowledge what happened. Nobody visits his mother's grave, the councelors do whatever they want. Nobody pays respect in any way. They act like it never happened. Like their lives thrown away means nothing. Like- I think- no one wants to look into themselves and ask whether or not they contribute to what kind of society we've created- one where victims don't get justice, where an ableist "joke" is accepted and laughed at, where you'd rather ignore what's around you rather then contribute to change- because maybe if someone, even one person, thought that way, his mother wouldn't be raped and killed while mentally unstable, and maybe he could have a chance at living just like able-bodied people are, and maybe the other kids would have been a little nicer to him. Maybe if they stopped to think about others for one second, it all wouldn't happen. We could change the world- but are we just choosing not to?

And then you see the same people kill your mother. Was her snapping after everything made her a horrible person? The same that raised her child, despite from who he came? She didn't even get to find him and live like a family. He was probably so excited for that split second, seeing his mom alive. She didn't even get to see he's safe when he found his way back onto the Camp. What did they do to the world for everything to end up like this?

Because I think after all that, they decided they're going to give them a reason.

I personally enjoy DiSanti's interpretation in his fanmade movies- where the blood of Pamela entered Jason, with all the hate she gathered for the world. Because in my eyes, that's the perfect depiction where they both, in a way, decided that they're going to show people how it really feels when your entire life is ruined, where your innocence and hope are stripped away, and there is no justice served, and no one believes you, and no one does anything. These people are going to know how it feels to have the entire world against you while hatered and pain eat away your humanity.

While, maybe at one point finally, realising that it all could've been avoided if you thought about someone other than yourself.

It's "if you want to hate me, hate me for an actual reason". And the Voorhees decided they're going to give them a damn good one.

And a friendly reminder HE'S NOT EVEN GOING TO KILL YOU IF YOU STAY OUT OF CRYSTAL LAKE AND JUST LEAVE HIM ALONE.

You would stay alive if you just fucking listened for once.

Also: honorable mention of Rennie who was made an "empath" in the comics

Because apparently empathy and morality are mutually exclusive, and feeling empathy towards someone, even someone doing horrible shit, is a super-power and not just something we all should strive to have. (Me wants to say it's because the world has had us convinced that commiting a crime is a perfect reasoning for getting rid of empathy for those who commit the crime and for circumstances of them ending up in certain positions, so we don't realise just how broken we are as a society and we all have certain responsibility for how we treat the disabled, the poor, the abused, the mentally unwell etc. and most shit happens for a reason; but not everyone is ready for this conversation. Or maybe everyone's angry that they see Jason-with all his background provided- and unlike many people, he doesn't really go after children and animals still, so they realise he still has more rigid of a moral spine than them).

And also they kinda keep doing this shit- I understand screaming while a huge guy is chasing you with a clear intent to kill you; but excuse me, why are you screaming upon seeing someone's deformity caused by a disability? 🤨 (he even raised his mask in pt. 3, because like, HE KNOWS what kind of reaction he's gonna get - because so far no one proved him otherwise).

I think it would be really funny to pit the tf2 mercs up against some kind of slasher movie villain. Could you imagine being a slasher trying to kill these buffoons who respawn?

The first half plays by slasher conventions, with the first to die being (ship of your choosing) who decides to slip away and get frisky somewhere away from the others. One by one the mercs are taken by surprise and picked off until the final girl merc sees a body and realizes something is up

At which point the other mercs start to respawn, and depending on the setting they either improvise incredibly silly weapons or just have their normal ones and wreck the killers absolute shit. It's silly it's humiliating for the slasher and it turns into a game of cat and mouse of the killer looking to jump out and surprise the mercs (who are used to spy doing that so it's less effective) and the mercs going All Out on the killer (who is supernaturally impervious to damage for Plot Armour). Scout gets killed like 15 times cause he just get more and more annoying every time

michael or jason :3c

jason! jason jason jason 100000%

jason was the first slasher i fell in love with, i could seriously ramble on and on about why i love jason.

also in my opinion, of the slashers, he’s one of the more morally sound. he kills people that remind him of the people who let him die. he doesn’t s/a people, he literally has the mindset of an 8-10 year old boy and he just misses his mom. the only reason he started killing is because of pamela, and its what he thought was the right decision because of what his mom told him.

and also!! i think everyone who enjoys jason or even doesn’t enjoy jason should watch the bar scene in part 2.

link: https://youtu.be/3RXJT6t7gkg?si=C18KnGEP_Ixwflof

youtube

he also spares ginny (the woman in the bar scene, a child psychologist) once she puts on his moms sweater because he LITERALLY ONLY WANTS TO DO WHAT HIS MOM TOLD HIM. HES LITERALLY JUST A MAMAS BOY WHO WANTS TO BE GOOD IN THE ONLY WAY HE KNOWS HOW.

he’s simply a scared kid who cant process death and is killing because hes hurt and he wants his mom to be happy. the people he looked up to and thought of as friends let him die, he just wanted them to feel how hurt he is.

tldr jason is my favorite, i think he deserves a less sexualized and more loving fanbase, and fuck pamela voorhees :]

oh yeah and michaels ok too i guess, i have a halloween themed backpack so 🤷

also please send me more asks like this i love talking to people 🫶

for jori's friday the 13th AU its going to of course take place in the 2009 reboot timeline. she works with donnie on mr. garikes' property and even though he's kinda weird they're still friends. when it comes to jori and jason finally meeting i know i want it to take place in the attic area where they keep the kerosene. i just dont know how i want it to go down. do i want her to be sassy? do i want her to be scared? being scared would be more sensible but she can also be kinda feisty. either way she ends up helping him with taking the kerosene eventually and it just becomes an agreement between the two.

#dont mind me im just rambling to myself lmao #ive been thinking about this for months #Friday the 13th #Jason Voorhees #Jason Voorhees x OC #Ship: Beauty and the Beast #OC: Jori

okay so usually slashers are either trying to make the main group of victims sympathetic so you root for them to survive, or insufferable so you enjoy seeing them get picked off; the original Friday the 13th is clearly going for the former, but there's a running theme that makes it particularly sad

Pamela Voorhees killed the 50s counselors for being careless and self-absorbed enough to let Jason drown, and the root of her attempts to keep the camp closed is fear of any more children dying

but the 80s counselors show every sign of being the exact opposite of their predecessors

Annie isn't just chipper and friendly, she's jazzed to be working with children and pointedly respectful of them (I think it's also worth pointing out that she's the camp's intended cook, just like Pamela, and probably very much like Pamela was before her son's death broke her)

when Ned calls for help in the water, the entire group switches from goofing around to Serious Business instantly, not wasting a second in rushing to save him and making it clear they're well-trained and know exactly what they're doing

(and it's also made very clear that Pamela was watching them do this)

Brenda's death might be the worst viewed through this lens: she dies because she runs out into the pouring rain and mud to help what she believes is a child in danger, the exact thing that Jason's counselors should have done and were killed for not doing

hell, Ned is a useless dick, but even he responds to the sight of a stranger entering a cabin not like "Hey, what are you doing here?! Get out!" but with a polite, "Hello? Can I help you?"

despite their playing around even more than the previous counselors, I feel safe in not only saying that they're the kind of people that would have saved Jason from drowning, but that they're responsible enough that a kid wouldn't have ended up in the lake unattended in the first place

what it really comes down to is: if the camp really had reopened, everything would have been fine, but that's not a possibility that Pamela could have accepted

Hi I'm awake and I'm ready to kill my wrists and fingers on the candy fic again after having sex with Venture for the millionth time in my dreams teehee but before I went to sleep last night I was thinking about slasher!Venture and I may have came up with absolute fire OR the cringiest flop to date. I'll let y'all decide

#rambles #the title of slasher!venture fic is affectionately called LUIGI STOP TALKING TO SATAN #heh #anyway it draws influence from friday the 13th and a little bit of chucky #and also my own ideas. but ya know #the idea is that all slashers are demon possessed so why not just skip that process and just summon one directly?

You know what, Jason's fate seems sadder and more avoidable the more I think about it (I think about my pookie constantly <3); Because maybe if they somehow reached to Pamela or served justice like they supposed to do (friendly reminder that the camp reopened, nobody was mourned and the responsible councelors weren't even fired), we wouldn't be chilling with 200+ body count now. His mom was obviously his world, but to be honest, he went batshit ONLY after they gave him a reason to.

I don't know if you guys remember something:

He didn't start killing people randomly, murdering etc. By what I've encountered, read and watched, the most he was doing was stealing resources while thinking his mother simply passed away. He's not really like some other slashers. Killing wasn't fun and canonically wasn't automatically on his mind. Despite what those people put him through, it still wasn't his first thought- while people were spreading rumors and scary stories that he came back for revenge (meanwhile his mom was, understandably, the one going crazy), he was out there trying to figure out how the hell he's supposed to survive on his own now - while most likely keeping in mind the possibility that his mom is no longer around; but it was a different "not around" then what was waiting for him, I think. It was "I don't think my mom's alive, because if she was, she'd rescue me for sure. It's been years too, and she isn't here." And that wasn't in itself the reason to start killing people.

Hard to say whether he was trying to find his way back or not, so that's up for debate- but I wouldn't be surprised if he did, at least to get some memento or find/make sure of his mom's whereabouts.

And then he came back, maybe seeing/hearing his mom alive for a split second- excited, no doubt, that they could be reunited, only to see his mother being murdered.

I hear people say "he kills because of his mother's DEATH" which I think is a little inaccurate. He kills because of his mom's MURDER.

It's the fact that maybe if they could find him or put any effort, or at least punished the ones responsible accordingly, maybe if anyone cared a little more, they could avoid it all. Because he wasn't killing without reason.

But they gave him a reason themselves, so here we are.
