Okay obviously Vivian is an ass but you do have to wonder about the rest of the Arcadia six. Do you think some of them feel bad for what they did/are doing. Do you think some of them miss Emily Garland, their friend, who helped them escape, not Vivian Walton. Do they mourn her even though she’s not dead, just so unrecognisable from the person they knew. Do you think seeing what was presumably the most traumatic event of their lives being recreated over and over again was their last straw to leave Walton Media. Do you think some of them sought out Trevor and Angela just to try and find some solace in their pain. Do you think they tried to help them create Solano Hills and make the documentary not for some sort of revenge but just as a way of trying to get closure.

Or do you think some of them tried a similar approach to Vivian, pretend, get a new identity, stay with Walton Media even if they’ve hurt you so much because that’s where your friends are. Do you think some of them have become so caught up in a fantasy like Vivian is and have told so many lies to the point where they’ve started believing them.

#Idk guys do you ever just think #american arcadia #vivian walton #emily garland #trevor hills #angela solano #God am I thinking about them #Vivian may be an asshole but her and the rest of the six’s story is so tragic #Assuming Vivian isn’t lying about the fact they all went back to Walton that means the only support network they had was eachother #If the only support you have is people who were there with you to experience the trauma you’re not going to turn out okay #Everyone in this story needs therapy

Emily Garland is bitter. She had a chance at freedom and she traded it away for the comfort of a gilded cage. She’s trapped within the confines of the persona she’s created for herself, and I think on some level she knows that most if not all of the joy brought on by her success as Vivian Walton is purely artificial. She and the rest of the six wanted the power to decide their own lives, but in the end she wound up performing for the cameras all over again—except for this time it was her own choices that put her there.

She’s trapped and unhappy—and yeah, I think the whole Trevor thing was definitely a ploy to improve the ratings, but I also think it was Emily trying to prove to herself that the choices she made after escaping Arcadia were inevitable: that it was impossible not to wind up in her position. That it’s not her fault she’s trapped as the face of the corporation that once exploited her. She puts this guy through hell, manipulates him and taunts him and wears down his resolve, and then she makes him pretty much the same offer Walton Media did to her all those years ago. And he’d be insane not to accept, right? Because Emily did everything right when it was her in this situation; there’s no other way this could possibly end.

I think Trevor rejecting her and leaving to live a happy, successful life outside Arcadia is the biggest slap in the face Emily could’ve received. He did what she couldn’t. It sends her into a spiral of what-ifs; if she’d had a friend on the outside, or a stronger conviction, or maybe even if she’d stayed closer with the rest of the six, would she still be stuck performing for the American Arcadia audiences? But I think ultimately it proves that she took the easy way out, that yeah the outside world is harsh and frightening, but there’s absolutely a life waiting out there for anyone willing to reach for it.

Vivian thought she had it all figured out and she got proved wrong by an account manager and one of her own stage technicians. Tbh I think she’s the most tragic character in AA.

#american arcadia #american arcadia spoilers #vivian walton #emily garland #the arcadia six #trevor hills #angela solano #octo rambles #long post #I wrote this while listening to Hello My Old Heart on repeat #this could’ve all been avoided if Emily had an Angela when she escaped #not trevor out here proving you don’t need to be successful to be happy #the importance of angela to trevor’s success living outside arcadia cannot be understated #idk if I really did it justice in the main post #I guess that’s what tags are for

if I had a nickel for every time there was a kind of obscure indie piece of media where a character named vivian was an antagonist but in a kind of fucked up and tragic way id have 2 nickels. which isn't a lot but it's fun that it's happened twice

First time I post about Alt-swap au and it’s just silly Architects Emily. Shes silly! Shes your cool science aunt! She’s here to tell you all the cool secrets about science and also tell you gossip about historical scientists ;].

The General is here too :] he comes to make sure she does experiments safely.

Fuck it heres the whiteboard doodles of her too

#American Arcadia #Vivian Walton #Emily Garland #Alternate Swap au #I’ll probably post more about it I just love her cause shes sillu #Shes like Miss Frizzle :]

Thinking about how Vivian going back to Walton Media, coming back from a life where her every second was filmed constantly into a place where she was still filmed but she had control. She could control when she was filmed, who was looking at her and when but the anxiety would probably never truly leave her

#I think Arcadia being a representation of abuse is pretty cool actually #american arcadia #vivian walton #emily garland
