#Becky did have a one sided crush on Violet tho. thats where Tobey's dumb speculation comes from.

[animation-is-my-jam]

Tobey’s one sided beef with Violet will never not be funny 😭 but do you think it follows into adulthood where Violet just unexpectedly one ups him in the dumbest ways like in the chess match and that invention contest 💀

I mean, it has to. Cause that's just too funny.

For me it's even extra funny because Violet doesn't (in my version of when they're older) even live in Fair City anymore but when she does visit she of course kinda overshadows him in ways that's funny. Especially in his cul-de-sac soccer mom era of wanting to be praised. Like, oh Tobey took time to make a hefty summer roast. Never mind, Violet brought stuffed eggplant, and people think it's so organic. Oh, Tobey wants to show off a genuine helpful invention to the others? Violet brings out a tiny souvenir from an airport gift shop. Boom, she gets the attention. She's not directly his like enemy when it comes to the limelight (that honor goes to another soccer mom he absolutely has some terrible mutual beef with). But she does step on his toes. So he's salty, but in his older mellow state, he can't be too mad when she's very oblivious about it and they are friends.

However, I can't say that emotionally. She also, without knowing, kinda makes him insecure. It's like a running joke in Future AU that Tobey thought that Violet was the one Becky should have been with. Or that one day she could steal Becky from him, and all he could do is shrug and go "yeah I was waiting for this." Tobey is not even upset about the idea...well, NO, he would be sad about it, but he's gotta support the sapphics no matter what. Even though Violet has told him multiple times that she's on the aroace spectrum and that Becky keeps reminding him that she's not going to just leave a 20+ year-old marriage with kids. Even if Violet somehow confessed to her now. (Tobey doubts on Becky's part. He can't compete). (Chat he may be kinda stupid)/aff
