I don’t know where the KE writers ever got the idea that Eve is someone that is “meant” for a normal life and just got dragged into the chaos by Villanelle. It actually goes against the core of her character lmao. (And it is a pattern with them bc Emerald Fennel said similar shit about Eve in her post S2 interviews). In the beginning, Eve was literally introduced as someone that was bored with her normal life, which is why she started chasing Villanelle in the first place.
Eve is a woman who has canonically:
- Broke laws and got someone killed in her determination to track Villanelle
- Repeatedly gaslit her husband and put his life at risk in her obsession
- Stabbed Villanelle while they were lying in bed together
- Seriously contemplated pushing a man in front of a bus for being rude to her
- Left a man for dead in order to save Villanelle
- Gleefully helped finish off killing Dasha (and then later agreed with Villanelle that it was romantic that they both killed her lol)
- Unapologetically shot Konstantin
- Admitted that she wanted Villanelle to fuel to her “monster”
- Kidnapped a child
- Got visibly horny watching Villanelle kill Helene
- Gorged out Gunn’s eyeballs
And you’re trying to say this woman would function well in normal society? Lmao.
Anyway, I remember when Sandra Oh said that the finale could be described as “killing Eve” even though Eve didn’t technically die. I take this to mean that she thinks killing Villanelle IS killing Eve in a sense and that scream after she resurfaces the water is one of complete despair at losing the one person who truly understood and accepted her. Eve’s ending was just as tragic as Villanelle’s.
I take her word on Eve’s character over Laura Neal’s, whose only been with these character for 1 full season.
This isn’t the face of someone who is reborn.. this is the face of someone who lost the love of her life. Who has no idea how to continue on living.
there are three kinds of fanfic:
- i can fix it
- i can make it worse

4. completely original novel with original characters that just happen to look like and have the same names as the characters in this piece of popular media, but otherwise have completely different personalities and backstories.
5. 4 but horny
