#shauna says she would've peaked in high school and she has all these insecurities that in any other genre would endear her to the audience

to be honest, misty's character normally seems like someone who'd die. the reason she survived/survives is that she is crazy and abnormal. aside from that her alienation is similar to jackie's in certain aspects, both of them are not respected by the other girls and aren't wanted.

you're so right she is alienated like jackie is and i think the difference between the two is that jackie isn't used to it she loses her status after the crash whereas misty earns a lot of respect when they get stranded and the girls start relying on her. i think about misty telling on jackie when she didn't do the prayer in the season one finale so often like jackie was literally giving her dating advice and doing her make up the day before and that's how she repays her!!! it's because she knows to do stuff like that that she makes it but that jackie never could. i saw someone say that jackie was in the wrong genre the other day and i think that the opposite is true of misty like in any other piece of media she would've been a goner

#i just rewatched the doomcoming scene...head in hands #alive jackie i really do love you #'look. you're beautiful :)' and misty throws her under the bus not even 24 hours after that!!! #it's funny because jackie's fits the archetype of the hbic teen drama character she's team captain bestest girl everyone idealizes her #shauna says she would've peaked in high school and she has all these insecurities that in any other genre would endear her to the audience #but this isn't a teen show on the cw they're supposed to survive and they all have to contribute and she's useless and when she's a bitch #it's not fun or funny it makes you dislike her like poor jackie #she really is in the wrong genre and misty is in just the right one like you're right i feel like in a lot of other horror shows/movies she #wouldn't have been misty she would've been crystal like disposable if that makes sense. so glad this isn't one of these shows because she's #so much fun #'jackie's not gonna like it' they tell us she's already too nice to even fit the hbic archetype as we usually meet her at the beginning of #a show like this is terrible #yj #ask
