can't stop thinking of that tumblr post about the first girl
We all know and love the final girl, but I want to know more about the first girl. The forgotten girl. The unlucky catalyst. The girl who's buried twice, first to be killed and last to be avenged. The girl that everyone else thinks about, when that phone call comes, when the backdoor is mysteriously unlocked, when the blade slides home. But she had no one before her to provide context. She was all alone with her fear and she died without knowing that her brutal sacrifice would birth the creation of a final girl who lives. The girl who watches as the girls after struggle and fail again and again until finally, finally, she wins but it's bittersweet because she had a whole lineage of dead girls to guide her way and the first girl had nothing. She was always supposed to fail and she did it so beautifully they've changed the meaning of her name about it, she is no longer a person she's that first brutal death. sometimes you’re gifted and special and there was a girl who was that too who came first. she could’ve been like a sister to you. you never really knew her, but her loss changed your entire life. she haunts you for the rest of your days.

A square of 9 images: A girl from the neck to the waist, in school uniform, a white blouse, tartan skirt and a blazer with a shadowy logo. A soldier, staring out into haze, holding a rifle A bookshelf, a man in a shirt and dress trousers leafing through pages. The last of the light brigade, a painting of horses and men charging into battle Text: You wrote we were heroes once, sir A large open space, shadowy teens in uniform running through Silhouette, a child being led by their parent A boy studying in an empty room, with huge windows and stained glass bearing a crest Text, My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori.

the sun doing its thing on the windows does things for my soul
A picture looking down the platform of a train station just before dusk, pink skies and tower blocks behind, colours muted with the distance. On one, the sun catches the windows, and the light reflects back, glittering pink.

i cheated my way in here but who cares let's go baby
A photo of a garden. In focus, a garden table, an iced coffee and a laptop. The screen is dimmed on a text document, perhaps the title 'Lily' is clear. In the background a grassy lawn and flowerbeds of pink and red and white. Some yellow, too.
