#Black Phone#The Black Phone#TheBlackPhoneEdit#My Edit#Finney Blake#Donna#Donna is so cute and sweet and precious I think I actually get cuteness aggression about it#She's this small side character who makes such a big impression by being just what Finney needs#in this adorable little mutual crush#She knows what she wants and it's that weird shy boy who keeps looking at her#She is trying... so hard... and fumbling on what to say so she doesn't spook mister deer in headlights#First she thinks she'll break the ice with “Those guys who beat you up are assholes screw them”#Then she realizes she makes him upset saying everybody's talking about it so she scrambles to save it by talking about Gwen#It really is the sweetest interaction from the sweetest girl#I don't know if I necessarily ship it or not (maaaaaaybe)#but as far as compulsory romance side plots go I think it's one of the better ones I've seen in a long time#It is what it is when it needs to be that#Without ever stealing focus from the rest of the movie#The fact they manage to slide it in when so much else is going on is a little impressive#I'll continue to be disappointed that Donna isn't even mentioned in BP2#and that (even if she and Finn didn't work out romantically) Donna and Gwen didn't become friends#She Gwen's biggest (non-Finney) fan#Also AU where she finds out about Gwen's visions and her using them to try and find Finney and Donna wants to help however she can. 🥺#It would have made the movie longer and probably elevated Donna's role past what I just said I like about it#But AU where okay#I think her upset at the assembly that announced Finney's abduction is enough to say she would have helped if she had any idea how#As long as her puppy love crush towards Finney never outshines Gwen's sibling love in this AU
