starting off this with, i am unfortunately obsessed with the scream franchise and will ramble about every aspect of the first movie specifically but also the sequels after. also have SO MANY THEORIES about this franchise. it's unfortunately my comfort series. anyways, i am just a little obsessed with tatum and her entire vibe throughout the movie, she’s so fucking iconic so anyways here’s me rambling about my girl
the younger sister of dewey riley, lifelong best friend of sidney prescott, girlfriend of stu macher.
truly the more carefree, over the top, bubbly bff to sidney’s sort of reserved personality.
has some of the best one liners in the movie please
literally coined the name ghostface thank you v much
is killed by billy but has no idea who was behind the mask. she personally still has no clue what really happened that night and she doesn’t like to think about it. tends to stay out of garages and doesn’t like being in locked rooms. deals with a lot of the trauma from it still but she tries to put it behind her
she’s got more important things going on than dwelling on what happened in woodsboro
is currently in college with an undeclared major, cause she’s debated between psychology, criminal justice, journalism, and just dropping out and going to cosmetology school. sort of all over the place with school right now as she still struggles with feeling like the life she lives right now is even real
has FINALLY settled on a major and a path in life. she is going to be a victims advocate, she wants to help people !! she wants to do good in this world !! she’s going to make something of herself in this next chance at life
has a decent social media presence and enjoys doing that as a hobby and would love if she could make some serious money off of it.
takes self defense classes with buffy summers, and enjoys it a lot. happy to help people learn to defend themselves too
did punch billy loomis in the face and is still v proud of that (even if it gave him his memories back rip)
she’s the kind of person to absolutely hype you up but also tell you all the harsh truths you need to hear before someone who cares less about you tells you
would give you the shirt off of her back but also leave you on read if you asked her some question she thought was stupid
truly just trying to live her life right now, trying to put woodsboro behind her and just enjoy the life that she never got the chance to have
she is currently living with her brother dewey, they moved in together after tatum nearly died from billy loomis again, it had triggered their memories to return and neither of them have wanted to deal with the worry that comes from living alone for now
CONNECTIONS :
✩ former roommate(s)
she used to have an apartment off campus and would have had one or two roommates
truly open to anyone and everyone, they could get along, could hate each other, be absolute opposites or too alike it clashes, whatever you like friends !!!
✩ friends
just be her bud pls
she’s been here for a year, and is 100% a very sociable person, so she would reach out and try and make friends in either school or her jobs.
✩ past hookups/exes
she’s been here for a year, and definitely would have fallen down the path of ‘this will distract me’.
she’s bi but leans towards men in a romantic sense
✩ classmates
just any college students??
tatum hasn’t decided her major at all yet so she’s just in like general classes for her degree instead of any focus yet, so would absolutely be down to run into just about anyone
✩ coworkers
she’s probably picked up a couple part time jobs in retail/waitressing so would be down to grab a connection that way!!
will eventually work in the court system so if anyone is in that line of work, she’ll be around!!
✩ emergency contact
listen, she definitely has like at least one friend she calls when she feels like something is wrong, someone she calls when she needs someone else around with her, just a shoulder to lean on when she gets stuck in those “i was murdered” headspaces
✩ self defense class friends
girl is one of the only people to fully fight off ghostface, like her and sid kicked both of their asses, she knows how to fight and definitely kept it up in the city
