Violet: Hey, I wasn’t expecting you.

Icarus: Can I come inside? 

Violet: Sure. Is everything alright?

Icarus: I wanted to talk about us.

Violet: Nothing bad I hope?

Icarus: Violet, I want to end this, for good.

Violet: I’m sorry, what?

Icarus: I don’t want things to get messy-

Violet: Is this because of the girl?

Icarus: Huh? No. Vi, this is about us, about the core of our relationship and it’s rotten.

Violet: But we can fix it!

Icarus: No, I’m sorry. I think we need to ask ourselves some serious questions. 

Violet: Icarus, please, you’re just saying that because-

Icarus: I can’t love you. I can’t.

Violet: So what? You were planning on discarding me the entire time?

Icarus: That wasn’t the end goal, I understand where I fucked up.

Violet: You can’t lead people on!

Icarus: And you can’t cheat on people. The day my dad died, all you could think about was yourself.

Violet: That is a lie and you know it-

Icarus: You felt alone and you went to the first person that had been dying to cop a feel.

Violet: I apologized! It was one kiss.

Icarus: Oh don’t downplay it now! You forget the messages and phone calls-

Violet: You pretended like I didn’t exist, Icarus! You shoved me aside and I didn’t feel alone, I was alone.

Icarus: So infidelity makes things okay?

Violet: I can’t believe you’re still upset. I’ve tried everything to earn your trust. If anything, I should be angry at you! You have never once acknowledged me as your girlfriend because you’re so ashamed of me! But it’s my fault right? I should have known better.

Icarus: I guess we both have things we need to work on.

Violet: That’s all you have to say?

Icarus: I think so, yeah.

Violet: So you’re gonna check out, like you always do. Typical. God, Icarus, say something!

Icarus: [ silence ]

Violet: For what it’s worth, I’m sorry.

Icarus: Goodbye, Violet.

Unpopular TSSM Opinion

Sha-Shan was a better example of a serious moral compass love interest to Flash than Gwen was to, well, anybody.

The gal clearly has no problem turning a guy down until they've proven he isn't a too much of a douche. And she doesn't care how popular they are. If they make make the right, but hard choices, then they've got her interest.

Gwen, on the other hand, can’t seem to judge any of her friend’s moods or situations correctly and make an appropriate decision. For instance, whether as friends or love interests she and Harry are a dumpster fire. When the guy passes out in the courtyard and then avoids her, what does she do? Does she (a) tell her COP dad about it at home, (b) tell Harry’s father, (c) tell a teacher/coach/school counselor AKA any other figure in a position of actual authority? Nope. She tells Peter that something’s wrong with Harry, but doesn’t elaborate enough for him to take her concerns seriously, so he puts it among the lesser problems he has to deal with. Because if Peter was actually told the specifics, this would be MUCH higher on his problems list. There’s no way he’d have to be bullied into talking with Harry, otherwise. (Also, how is it possible that she couldn’t sense anything off about Eddie after he returned to the lab? He’s obviously creepy and fake and you’ve known him since you were both in single digits. If it was just Eddie this happened with, I wouldn’t be having my doubts about her judgement.)

This brings me to my next point about boundaries. Peter respects hers more than she respects his. Thus, she can only enforce her boundaries and/or will if someone already respects her. Harry and Gwen’s full-on couple status is proof. Harry’s shoved her against a locker, jumped over her during a villain attack (did he ever apologize for that?), and the first thing he does is ignore his new girlfriend in favor of calling his dad about having a girlfriend. Oh, and she’s ignoring all these red flags in an implied attempt to make Peter jealous. Nuff said about that ball of toxicity they got going on.

Flash saw Sha-Shan as a hot nerd/rebound, then as a challenge, and finally as someone whom he wants to be respected by. She didn’t let him get anywhere by being a jerk or overstepping. Granted, she had the benefit of not caring about Flash’s opinion of her, like Gwen would with long-time friends. And yet, despite being very judgy about him at the start, once they’re together she understands that Flash will say/do dumb things but it doesn’t take away from his good heart. Sha-Shan accepts him and his flaws. Ironically, despite Gwen being in love with Peter over Harry, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a time where she cuts Peter any slack for anything even when it’s not his fault. Including and up to not dying.(Not actually joking about that. See Christmas Tree aftermath s2ep3.) Maybe it’s just me, but I swear Harry and Eddie could be be kicking puppies off the Brooklynn Bridge in front of her and she’d be giving Peter the silent treatment for missing her calls trying to stop it.

I'm aware that Gwen isn't evil whatsoever but I find her immensely frustrating when TSSM has better female characters to choose from. And this post is for other people who agree with me. I'm not denying the flaws of anyone else here, be it Peter or Harry or whoever else, but I can't cover my thoughts on all the dynamics at play here without overloading my laptop and this site. I feel like Gwen's actions in the show get glossed over a lot. I've seen Peter and Harry get criticized for their actions and sympathy for their differently bad lives within the show, but Gwen. . .doesn't get that same scrutiny. She makes objectively horrible/stupid choices about how to go about things in her relationships but somehow she seems to get less spotlight shed on those things. Instead, the responsibility is often shoved the two guys for screwing up, despite either having far more on their plate or a bad home life. Anyways, I've rambled incoherently enough. Hope it brought you some food for thought even if you don't agree with everything.

Me: Ok, I’m definitely enjoying Infinity Nikki’s cozy aspects and the storyline my work-exhausted brain can currently handle.

Me: But for a Nikki game, the actual stylist components feel so… weak. I have been struggling to have the motivation to level up my gear with this nerfed system, and as a consequence suck at battles, yada yada.

Me: Ah, well, I’ve cheesed out my Eurekas enough to get the Bubbles I need to grind the clothes I do have.

(note: yes this sentence makes sense, I swear)

Me: Huh, actually beat the Sovereign of Cool’s flunkies, let’s try the Sovereign herself.

(not my footage)

Me: Infinity Nikki, I apologize for my doubts.
