Is It Just Me Or They Made Willow Grace 2.0 ? Like Hear Me Out, I Know That All The OG Girls Get Merged

Is it just me or they made Willow Grace 2.0 ? Like hear me out, I know that all the OG girls get merged and become bitchy towards MC cause you stole "their man", but let's look at the context before CA. Daphne and Geri were obviously Rafael's and Joyo's first choices respectively pre CA and even if Alex said he wasn't feeling it with Estelle, I don't remember him cracking on with another woman before CA and so we can assume that she was initially his first choice as well.

But Willow ? They said multiple times that Bryson wanted Geri over her and that he even flirted with Geri right in front of her face, even before MC came into the picture she was never his first choice. While the other 3 girls also come across as desperate at least they have some basis for their delusion as they've been their man's "number ones" before they twisted with MC, but for Willow it looks even more embarrassing to cling to a man that's already pied her off for a second woman. Also the way they've described her all throughout CA as the sweetest person in the world just for her to become a bitch towards you cause her crush wants you and not her is giving Grace all over.

AND THIS IS AGAIN A BLACK WOMAN ! So even when she's literally merged with the white characters with the added context she still comes across as more delusional than her white/lighter skinned counterparts MY GOD FB.

Sigh. I mean yeah. I can definitely see this perspective. I have ceased to have expectations when it comes to FB's depictions of black women because they are generally somewhere between pretty disappointing to full on rage-inducing. In this case, I'd personally lay it at the feet of the lack of branching, rather than intention. Though that's probably giving them more credit than they deserve considering the very obvious mirroring of Hope and Grace as stage five clingers attached to wishy washy men of color.

I don't know, man. I wish they'd pay any attention at all to the way they depict race. I have to deal with enough racial shit in my every day life. I'd love to get on the app and not worry that I'm about to feel just as awful while playing. But alas.

Thank you for your perspective, anon!

CHAPTER 3

Fic Summary:

Three gorgeous guys. One evil twin. One beekeeper with trust issues. Rora isn't here for love, she's here for fun, but she's not having much of that. When the guy she thought wanted her didn't, she swore she put her heart behind ice. But now she's got Marshall chasing her, Ozzy missing her, and Lewie, her best friend in the villa, wanting to be more than friends. Oh, and she has a sister who lives to hurt her. Can't forget that one. Rora's just a girl who prefers yoga to drama, but her life is currently nothing BUT drama. She's terrified of being hurt, and there's only one guy who has the ability to break down her walls, but what if he breaks her heart instead?

Just realized that the reason I love making friends on tumblr is because it’s exactly how you make friends on the playground as a six year old. No, I don’t know their name but they love mermaids too and built this awesome sand castle. No, I don’t know their age but their imaginary cheetah is friends with mine. You like this show? You like this character?? You can sing the theme song really loud??? Here is a flower crown. Here is a juice box. You can share my time and I might never see you again but part of you stays in my soul forever. In my mind we’re still on the swing set and the sky is blue and nothing will ever be wrong again.

For real, though. I'll go to second base with you 🤣

getting comments on ao3 makes me go so power hungry like. oh yeah you read the thing?? you read the WHOLE thing and even took time out of your day to give your WRITTEN INPUT on it???? make out with me.

Those tags are running a cold, clammy finger up and down my spine.

I love when you’re reading multiple fics by the same author and you start to spot all the phrases and adjectives they like to use

new chapter

Chapter 2 is up!

I wanted to fuss with this more and I could have, but I didn't. I figured it was better to post it a little bit rough than to obsess over it and keep people waiting. This might be progress! ao3 | wattpad Also, thanks to @operationnope for reading my yoga over and making it way more believable. Sorry I'm a neanderthal that hates both stretching and breathing with intention.
