Evie Russell What We Do In The Shadows
Why We're All Secretly Obsessed with Evie Russell from What We Do in the Shadows
Let's be honest, we all have our favorite characters in What We Do in the Shadows. But there's one who quietly steals the show with her perfectly deadpan delivery: Evie Russell.
Who is Evie? She's the familiar (human servant) to the energy vampire, Colin Robinson. She's basically everyone's favorite coworker ever – if your coworker happened to drain your life force with tedious stories.
Evie: The Relatable Human in a World of Vampires
Evie is the grounding force in a world of glittery vampires and bumbling werewolves. She's the one who makes you think, "Okay, *someone* has to pay the cable bill." Think of her as the ultimate office manager, but for the undead.
She's the human we can all relate to. She deals with the same struggles we do: annoying bosses, soul-crushing jobs, and existential dread. Except her boss is a vampire and he feeds off of her boredom.
Remember when you had that coworker who just *loved* to explain every tiny detail of their weekend? Colin Robinson is that coworker amplified by a million, and Evie is the saint who puts up with it.
Her Quiet Rebellion Is Our Spirit Animal
Evie might seem meek on the surface, but she's secretly a rebel. She starts dabbling in energy vampirism herself, learning to drain people with her own brand of annoying stories. It’s subtle, but it’s pure genius!
That's the part where we see her true potential. She's not just a victim; she's learning the ropes. It's like watching a caterpillar slowly, hilariously, turn into a slightly more annoying butterfly.
It's like that time you started using corporate jargon just to get back at your boss. Evie takes it to a whole new, undead level.
The Little Things That Make Her Great
It's not just her big moments, it's the little things. The way she sighs when Colin launches into a monologue. The way she subtly rolls her eyes at Nandor's pronouncements.
Her wardrobe is another level of genius. It's the epitome of "casually trying to disappear into the background." Think beige, sensible shoes, and cardigans that scream, "I just want to be left alone."
And her facial expressions? Pure gold. You could write a whole dissertation on the nuanced expressions of Evie Russell.
We're All a Little Bit Evie
Let's face it, we all have a little bit of Evie in us. We've all been in situations where we just want to escape the monotony. We've all dealt with people who drain our energy. Maybe not literally, but emotionally.
Evie is a reminder that even in the most bizarre and ridiculous circumstances, there's always room for a little bit of dry wit and quiet rebellion. She's the unsung hero of the show.
So next time you're feeling overwhelmed by the absurdity of life, just channel your inner Evie Russell. Put on a beige cardigan, roll your eyes at the next annoying thing someone says, and remember that even energy vampires have to deal with cable bills.
In conclusion
We love What We Do in the Shadows because of the vampires and their ridiculous antics. But Evie provides a grounded perspective that helps makes the show funnier.
Evie's character is the everyday person that makes us relate to the show.
So three cheers for Evie Russell, the unsung hero of Staten Island's vampire community! She reminds us that even in the darkest of situations, there's always room for a little bit of humor and a whole lot of beige.
She's our favorite familiar, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
