my favorite thing is dot being tired of the group's shit and just giving up. like she gave the lighter to rachel and was like "aight imma head out" like good for you, queen. self-care, we love it

There were three brain cells on that island and Dot had all of them
one thing i absolutely fucking love about the characters on the wilds, which i was talking about with jordan @colorsinautumn, is the way they use similar tropes for multiple characters, but then make each person handle them completely differently.
leah and martha are both victims of sexual abuse and grooming on some level, but while martha repressed hers, leah deluded herself into thinking it was love.
shelby and toni are both lgbt, but about as far on each end of the security spectrum as it gets.
fatin and shelby are both the pretty girly-girls, but fatin is this sex positive, liberal californian, while shelby is initially portrayed as nothing more than tomi lahren’s hot younger sister (and then they deepen those identities! again!)
nora and dot both feel a responsiblity towards a family member and keeping them alive and healthy, but while dot does what her father asks, nora rats rachel out on more than one occasion.
leah and nora are both the weird, quiet, bookish girls, but again, couldn’t be more different in terms of personality and the way they interact with other peers.
and of course, the dynamic between the twins of “the grass is always greener” when it comes to attention from their parents
because of this, you can literally pair any character up with another and all of a sudden you have this unique, interesting dynamic. it’s amazing, and a sign of really well thought out writing and world building
