GONE SWIMMING. @blockbusterbabe - Tumblr Blog

A SUMMER GIRL GOES SWIMMING, SWIMS OUT A LITTLE FAR. SHE TIRES. A FISHING BOAT COMES ALONG ... an independent & private writing portrayal of CHRISTINE "CHRISSIE" WATKINS from the 1975 film jaws, with influences from the novel by the same name. this muse is plucked from her original media and treated as an original character, with emphasis on her STRANGER THINGS, GHOST, RIVERDALE, and SCREAM verses.

fished by ashley. she/her, over the age of twenty-one. established in february of 2023. RULES & ABOUT.

A STUDY IN: summer love, hitchhiking, living fast & dying young, running away from home, reinventing yourself, being young, dumb, and beautiful, poor decisions, freedom, being brushed under the rug, golden smiles, and most importantly ... VOTING IN YOUR LOCAL ELECTIONS; THE MAYOR IN JAWS IS STILL THE MAYOR IN JAWS 2.

#I USED TO HATE THE WATER.

canon quote abt chrissie:

“We do have one thing going for us. Miss Watkins was a nobody. She was a drifter. No family, no close friends. She said she had hitchhiked East from Idaho. So she won’t be missed.”

#AESTHETICS.

it’s funny how her most iconic scene is literally her being naked, but when we see chrissie at the bonfire? she has multiple long layers on. a sweatshirt over a turtleneck; this girl is technically homeless! yes she had a place to stay at the time of her death, but chrissie has lived in vans & squatted in abandoned homes prior to arriving in amity.

need to still write up her full bio but. chrissie was raised in a strict religious environment, and as a result does not know a balance between rigidness and over spontaneity. she packed up her things and left her home on the middle of the night, she broke off her engagement without so much as a word. she is a flighty person that struggles to connect with others, although she is looking for a place of belonging.

#I USED TO HATE THE WATER.

gonna be doing a lil blog clean up on here! please stand by. probs gonna change my url bc i’m meh about it

#I USED TO HATE THE WATER.

with the novel establishing that chrissie ran away from home/had no family or close friends, i think a lot about how close she likely was to being a jane doe. if it weren’t for tom cassidy reporting her missing, she may have remained an undetected blip on amity’s radar. a body without a name.
