User blog comment:ArtDraw12/Character Appreciation - Week 41: Samey/@comment-30567301-20171015164622

i don't truly have a big strong opinion on samey, but i do really enjoy her once we're past the "oh she's so mistreated" part, and onto the fact that samey a) lacks social skills b) is a emotional wreck c) doesn't know anything about to handle conflict. she's not really the "nice" person people make her out to be. yeah, she's not a mean person. but did she even try interacting with her team outside of being forced to? she's been abused for years but it's hard to sympathize with someone who's entire existence is to be bullied by her sister. it's pretty obvious that jasmine didn't even like samey that much, imo, "the way amy treats you bothers me, so yeah, i guess we're friends". they never bonded over anything except their hatred of amy and foraging and literally, their friendship is never mentioned again, and they likely voted for eachother in episode 5. i feel like samey is just a super desperate girl who doesn't know what to do about anything and is super impulsive. she kinda just bathes in pity and once she actually did something to her sister, she becomes almost equally childish and bratty (which is a good thing lol).

overall, that's pretty critical, i did really enjoy the zaniness of the whole apple thing, and despite how horribly calculated and malicious it is, it does really prove that samey is pretty much just a troubled soul who is super frustrated about her status quo and wallows in her self pity without actually wanting to do anything about it but get revenge on her sister. is this satisfying? for me, yes. i also really enjoyed whenever kinosewak would just absolutely butcher her whole existance, let's take a look at some of these amazing lines:

rodney: whoa samey what's WRONG with you.

max: jealousy is the LOWEST form of evil!

rodney: is it just me? or does amy pick WAY better berries than samey.

scarlett: perhaps you had a involuntary gustatory association with samey. and unpleasant taste.

max: her hideous malproportioned face was spoiling the fruit!

jasmine: don't hate yourself for your sister's shortcomings, you did what you could!

topher: no one's blaming you for samey's weirdo-ness

sugar: that girl was all bun, no hotdog!

max: REEKED of failure

what a universally despised demon <3 overall, i feel like she will eventually be doomed to a horrible plotline where she's made out to be a protagonist, but what we got from pahkitew island was actually okay considering what it could've been. she's a grimy, insecure, and pitiful childish brat, and that worked out for her pretty well.

"what's german for bossy blonde cow?"
