Marie Campbell - Tumblr Posts
I love my Marie roleplay blog because most of it is just her thoughts abstractly but sometimes I like to pretend she’s literally typing on a phone and she was literally born in 1950 she is a BOOMER so sometimes I just imagine her like like
Like she posts shit thinking it’s Google because dude she grew up with a ROTARY PHONE in her house and spent her toddler and young child years watching a BLACK AND WHITE tv
You ever think Marie would like use her caretaking skills she learned from being the Older Sister by a 10 year age gap to take care of Henry?
Like imagine she’s out there in the world powering through making do with the shit hand she was dealt and she’s like carrying Henry or changing him or feeding him or something and she’s just like “young man you are so lucky your mommy was forced to parent your auntie because at least she knows how to take care of you now”
another chapter of my Stepdad Jason fic is out!!
I saw an article about a female serial killer that came up in Canada recently and everyone in the comments was arguing that because the deaths occurred in such close succession that she should be classified as a spree killer and not a serial killer, as serial killers are classified as having “cooldown” periods where they assume a normal “cover”, not just referencing the amount of kills.
So I was like oh then Marie would probably be classified as a spree killer
But then I was like no
It’s established that in the weeks leading up to WN87, there were murders. There were probably a few days in between them due to driving.
BUT
the motive is also a factor. One of the defining factors of serial killers is that they derive some form of inherent pleasure from killing- not to get revenge or any other motive. The victims are also generally random (besides the first one). Marie was planning this shit for YEARS, and every single target was intended (except the ones she added during the night like Murphy and Jimmy and the teens), so it’s honestly more akin to a targeted spree than a true serial killing incident.
But we all know serial killer sounds much flashier than spree killer, so who REALLY cares?
Along with the Campbells having fluffy hair, it is now also a legal requirement that Marie is drawn with tiger stripes (stretch marks). Not that they’re ever showing because obviously they’re on her stomach …. But they’re there.
What’s the fun of a milf character if they’re not obscenely ripped and have the most fabulous stretch marks???
God I LOVE the George lives au because like George waking up in the hospital like a day or so later and the doctors are trying to test his brain to make sure he didn’t get brain damage and stuff like “ok what’s the last thing you remember” and he’s like “I was running… someone was chasing me… oh my goodness- where’s B- Marie?! Is Marie Campbell here? Is she okay?” And the doctors are like “uh… she’s not the one who fell off a cliff and almost drowned. YOU were.” And he’s like “Never mind all that, where is she??”
When she hears he woke up and the Barrows are like “you need to come to the hospital he’s demanding to see you and he won’t take his medicine or answer questions until he does.” So she runs there and visits him and obviously sees him and he’s got a big bandage on his head and a cast on one leg and one arm in a sling and she’s like “oh my god are you okay??” And he chuckles despite his whole insides hurting like “oh, you don’t need to worry about old me. I’m fit as a fiddle. How are you?” And she’s just like “don’t you do that to me, George Barrow, you could have died if I didnt pull you out of that river. You were unconscious for a whole day!” And he’s like “oh. Well. I’m sorry I couldn’t walk you home, Bean.” And she’s like “literally who gives a shit, I’m just glad you’re alive!” And he’s like “well I could say the same about you, I thought the whistling man gotcha.” And then she goes “oh- yeah- no, Georgie, it was all an act, see. Teddy was just messing with you. I wasn’t in any danger. Jason’s okay, I’m okay, it was all fake.” And George just sits there in his hospital bed for a second like “….oh, he’s done it now. No one messes with my girl.” And Marie just laughs like “oh yeah? What are you doing to do? You can’t even walk.” And George is like “I’ll think of something!!”
And she just visits him all the time and takes care of him and is as instrumental in his recovery as the nurses are and he looks forward to seeing her every day
And obviously eventually he can leave and go home and stuff. But he also gets the news he’s gonna be a dad and stuff and he’s hyped
It’s just so cute
I really hope for George’s sake he just stopped existing when he died because the alternatives are terrible
First: he becomes a ghost and has to wander around completely alone thinking his best friend died and his girlfriend may or may not be alive. Depending on if this goes by Beetlejuice rules, he may have to spend all of his time as a ghost dripping wet and cold too.
Second: he goes to some sort of afterlife where he is aware of everything happening on earth (Y’Know the traditional ‘he’s looking down on you’ type stuff) and therefore would find out that Marie was kicked out and he had a kid he could not help her take care of. It would be the most cruel thing ever to make him watch them both suffer where he can’t help.
Third: he went to an afterlife where he CANT know what’s happening on earth, but he would still be unhappy because Marie is not with him, and even if he was told she was fine it would have been a lie. And he would have basically spent his eternity just sitting and waiting for her and not Y’Know enjoying being dead.
All horrible existences, some worse than others but still
OR I mean he could just be automatically put somewhere and his memory is just completely erased but then that’s not really him is it?
Piggybacking off of this
in the GLAU I can totally imagine him being like “hey bean I’m gonna take Henry back down to my neck of the woods for a special father son hunting trip” and Marie is like “oh okay have fun boys” and like they’re in the car on the way down and Henry is like “I’m excited to go hunting with you, pa” and George goes “oh I’m also gonna teach you how to make proper moonshine but don’t tell your ma or she’ll kill us both.”
More George headcanons because yea:
- Fucking loves spicy food. His mom definitely made the best chili when he was younger.
- #1 menace to a tall tree. Grew up sporty, started off with menacing the local wildlife.
- You're tellin me this kid didn't race the deer near him?
- SOMEHOW wrestled a coyote and won without getting rabies. Still amazes his family and the town he grew up in.
- Got his ass kicked yeah, but no rabies. That's all that really matters.
- Had a little old woman who ADORED him, always dropped him by gifts as a reward for him being the town helper.
- It was impossible to get him to stay inside. If he were ever grounded, they'd make him stay inside and do nothing. Couldn't even make him clean because he liked doing that.
- Vulture Culture kinda kid. His room and back deck were a mess of animal bits and bobs.
- Has random sticks just chilling in his room decor. [I have some chilling in my Non-Christmas-Christmas lights. + A random bone we found in the creek a while back]
GEORGE LIVES AU SICKFIC WHEN
- Marie jumping into the river and rescuing him before he drowns
- Marie resuscitating him and helping him get the water out of his lungs and staying with him until help arrives but he is so concussed and out of it he literally does not remember
- George demanding to see her in the hospital, absolutely indignant that the nurses will not let him see ‘his woman’ because he needs to be focusing on resting
- The nurses eventually relenting and letting him see her and she scolds him for scaring her and for kicking up such a fuss before hugging him (it hurts him a lot cuz he probably got pretty banged up underwater but he does not care)
- Jason coming to visit him and George having to calm Marie down because she was still really mad at him. George felt no offense whatsoever (he was very understanding about Jason’s intentions and knew he would intentionally try to hurt him)
- Marie coming by every day he’s in the hospital recovering from the concussion (about 2-3 days after he wakes up) and teaching him what they learned in class that week (again he fell on a Monday lol)
- Marie helping him learn how to walk on crutches after his ankle/shin/leg got fucked up
- Marie and George and maybe Jason confronting Teddy about being an asshole
- Marie coming back from the hospital (no at home pregnancy tests at this time folks, you literally had to go and do lab tests like you would for the flu and stuff) and telling George about Henry while dude is literally still on crutches and feeling the effects of a head injury
-shotgun wedding where dude literally has walk down the aisle in crutches the poor thing
- basically the reverse of an above scenario where he is now taking care of her when she is suffering from bad morning sickness and nausea and fatigue
- basically a reverse of an above statement where George comes home (I assume they are either staying at his house or are renting a place of their own by this point) and teaches Marie what they talked about in school after she got too pregnant to attend
Just them constantly taking care of each other rrrrraaaaaaaaah
This game is terrible for my mental health
because one moment I’m like “hee hee Forrest say silly things, so goofy, middle aged man be acting wild”
to
“surviving entirely alone in a world that wouldn’t even let her make a bank account without a man on top of making and then subsequently raising an entire other human that needs to be clothed and fed with no mental health support cost Marie her sanity, and by the time she came across anyone even slightly interested in helping her it was already far too late for her”
in like two minutes
Laughter to tears speedrun every day with this shit
One of my ideas for another YouTube video is just a supercut titled “Marie Campbell being hot- I mean, “femme fatale” for X minutes and X seconds”
And it’s just clips of the very thing
So I saw a photograph of an actress in 1964 wearing Jean shorts that were quite short (tbh shorter than I would’ve thought for the time) and then I just thought of Marie wearing herself a pair in the summertime and George trying to be a gentleman and not look but like having a peep before tearing his eyes away
But then like if you know what old basketball shorts looked like (hint: they were short), imagine George Jason and Marie going to hang out and play basketball and enjoy the nice summer day outside and Marie is just like “damn”
Happy spooky month from the resident ghosties
The original photoshoot is on Instagram and it’s absolutely adorable it’s by kazthequeenofglitter
It was so hard choosing which photo to do but I like this one.
Hopefully it’s easy to see who this is lol
So I’m watching a review of Paranorman and apart from the town motto of Blithe Hollow being “a great place to hang!” (Because a witch got hanged lol) And Gallows Creek’s being “a great place to rest your bones” (get it because George’s body was found resting on the riverbank HA ha)
The message of “treating someone unfairly and unkindly due to your own fears and instincts of self preservation could turn them into a monster” rings LOUD AND CLEAR in both media.
The judges (and townspeople) who sentenced Aggie to death were scared because they didn’t know what she could do with her powers and wanted to preserve themselves and protect them from her.
The townspeople of gallows creek didn’t help Marie out of fear of retaliation from the Gallows family and a desire to preserve the status quo and put this event behind them (especially the gallowses themselves, who feared losing social standing and power)
I’m not saying Paranorman was one of the inspirations for the game but I’m not NOT saying that. Especially with the goofy horror-comedy tone of the film.
Addendum: the line “soemthing in <the little girl> came back, and the longer it stayed, the less there was of the little girl. All that’s left of you is mean and horrible. You’re a monster! Stop! This is wrong and you know it!” Is scarily relevant
People: wait why did Marie make you get the song from outside if she wasn’t going to kill you when you got outside
Me: it’s almost like… it’s almost as if she wasn’t lying to you for once and just genuinely wanted to listen to her favorite song
Lmao someone was complaining that the only way you’d be able to save Ricky is if you believed Marie was untrustworthy so it was basically a crapshoot
And I was like
Uh
No
You get at least 5 clues that tell you outright she’s lying
That’s a lot more than other callers
The game REALLY wants you to save Ricky
Ok but imagine if George and Marie got to go to their senior prom-
She wouldn’t wanna go because obviously she would be like…. Mega pregnant
But he would encourage it
And they show up and she’s literally in a beautiful gown with a matching corsage and matching his tie and he’s so proud of his beautiful wife and she’s so self conscious
And like at first everyone was like oh wow so that’s where she went but then they are like kinda jealous of how in love they are
Some sketches of George and Marie getting to go to their senior prom. Long live the class of ‘69! (Nice)
As requested by @eating-plastic lol
I have been thinking about the GLAU all day and it’s so wholesome and sweet and lovely (can elaborate if desired) but I think my mind was like “you’ve had it too good time to suffer”
So now I’m thinking about an AU where Henry kills his mom before she can carry out her plan
