Gretchen X Karen - Tumblr Posts

this applies to the new musical movie Uh not the first one because it’s just regina but the second one still stands . they’re just clinging to each other the whole time janis is running around

gretchen and karen

-putting their hands on each other thighs during the “someone gets hurt” segment of fearless and

-holding hands during both fearless and i’d rather be me, songs about being free and being who you are (respectively)

is solid proof that they’re gay for each other and you can’t change my mind

about karen shetty’s sexuality

now that the new mean girls movie has established janis as being officially and canonically a lesbian, the door has been opened for other characters in the same universe to also be queer. the most popular contender is regina george, played by the openly lesbian artist, reneé rapp.

reneé rapp has been open on her stance that regina george was a lesbian and it’s interesting to watch the movie and to see how that stance bled into her performance.

but, like, what does that have to do with avantika’s character, karen shetty? quite a bit, actually.

in the original movie, karen is portrayed as being very promiscuous, almost to a fault. however, she’s only ever shown being attracted to men. in the new movie, this isn’t the case- at least, it seems that way.

it’s a minor plot thread throughout the 2024 movie that karen has slept with 11 “people.” not guys or men specifically. both gretchen and regina say that karen has slept with 11 people. from this, it’s reasonable to assume that she’s been with girls, guys, and maybe even people in between. and avantika seems to agree.

“if you tell me karen is anything but pansexual, i have beef with you,” is what avantika said in an interview. avantika’s karen is a “pansexual queen.”

so that’s that. karen, well karen shetty at least, is semi-canonically pansexual. i find that this element of her character is often overlooked. mostly because it’s not well-known in the first place. it’s unknown whether or not avantika even played karen with that in mind.

regardless, i think this is ostensibly a good thing. that the new mean girls movie is inherently queer speaks to an audience that may not have fully connected with the original film. that karen is pansexual, janis is officially a lesbian, and damian is gay opens the doors for other queer characters to have a place in mean girls, a movie and franchise that was previously incredibly straight.

to put it simply, karen is sapphic now. and i think that’s pretty cool.

lemme explain why i love karen x gretchen but specifically karen shetty and gretchen wieners because they’re so great

i’ve seen people say that the only explanation for shipping these two is that they’re … the “other two” but frankly that’s not a comprehensive or common explanation and it’s certainly not mine :3

the most simple way for me to put it is that, unlike 2004 karen and gretchen, 2024 karen and gretchen feel like teenagers in love. they’re cute and sweet and they care for each other.

whether it’s how gretchen calls karen and karen only “mama” or how karen clings to gretchen’s arm, i’m able to see how close they are. i’m able to see how they make each other feel included when regina casts them out.

karen has a unique brand of kindheartedness that fits gretchen’s anxiety. she makes gretchen feel special and loved and gretchen takes care of her. they compliment one another.

the idea that two of the plastics at northshore end up in an odd, yet pleasantly childish kind of love- that they have such genuine feelings for each other is charming and apparent, especially now considering the fact that karen, at least, is now (semi) canonically queer.

through even their most subtle actions, they show that they care about each other and provide the kind of love they both need in their lives.

they’re just cute and great. that’s why i love 2024 karen x gretchen.

i see these two and be like “i’m so normal right now” (i’m lying)

me after remembering that karen and gretchen were holding hands/linking arms all throughout the whole runtime of i’d rather be me whenever they were onscreen

karen being big on pda with gretchen is my roman empire . possessive gretchen is my roman empire . fetchen are literally my roman empire they are so cute and silly OUGHHH these hcs are so cute and accurate im in shambles

would love to hear your romantic!gretchen x karen headcanons,,

!!!KAREN/GRETCHEN PRE-DATING AND DATING HEADCANONS

notes : I enjoyed writing this sm so thank u for the request!!x

pre-dating!!

★˙ ̟Gretchen was very attracted to Karen since middle school, but was too scared to do anything about it

──★˙ ̟she always told Karen not to hook up with people out of jealousy and always came up with the dumbest reasons for that 

★˙ ̟every time Gretchen attempted to ask Karen out, she always took it as friend-ish hangout ideas and ended up inviting more people

──★˙ at some point Gretchen started gaslighting herself this is just how people think about their friends

★˙ ̟one day during a conversation Karen just kissed Gretchen on the cheek and basically they should go out or just date at this point, but it was Gretchen who got it wrong this time

──★˙ ̟Karen was deadly sure Gretchen was into Regina 

★˙ ̟they just lowkey went back and forth like that for like three months

──★˙ ̟on a random day after classes Gretchen confessed to Karen about five times just to be sure Karen knows it's not platonic

★˙ ̟they put a label on their relationship ten minutes after said event, not even going on a date first to think it over

dating!!

──★˙ ̟for the first month Regina kept on saying they HAVE to stop dating because it’s “ruining their trio friendship”, didn’t talk to them for like a week

★˙ ̟Gretchen let it convince her that they actually shouldn’t be dating and broke up with Karen, showed up on her doorstep apologizing an hour later

──★˙ ̟Karen often asks really stupid questions just to keep the conversation going, Gretchen answers them in details 

★˙ ̟Karen is big on PDA, Gretchen can live just as fine with just hand holding once in a while

──★˙ ̟Regina used to often third-wheels on their dates and turned them into trio-hangouts, at some point they just stopped telling her they’re going somewhere, she found out through Cady and was FURIOUS

★˙ ̟other than that you could call Regina their biggest supporter, she just can’t stand not being included in every single thing happening 

──★˙ ̟Gretchen is VERY jealous and possessive when it comes to Karen

★˙ ̟Karen used to be a tiny bit jealous of Regina before they started dating, other than that she’s not jealous at all

──★˙ ̟they both yap a lot, Karen mostly talks about everything that happened when they didn’t see each other, shows that she watched and literally anything FOR HOURS, Gretchen just fills her out on the drama in great details 

★˙ ̟Gretchen helps Karen with studying and takes it VERY seriously, during one of their studying sessions Karen tried to kiss her and she got mad at her, told her that “passing American history is more important than making out” 

──★˙ ̟the least problematic couple on earth I adore them

i think uh gretchen and karen are gay and in love so here’s some of my headcanons about it :3

<3-before they got together, karen was incredibly clingy with gretchen and gretchen only (as i mentioned before, karen is just a very touchy person but gravitated toward gretchen)

<3-karen heard gretchen when she was singing “what’s wrong with me?” and went on a very long and heartfelt rant about how there’s nothing wrong with her

<3-that’s when gretch realised she had feelings for her best friend c:

<3-they literally share everything like if gretchen gets a coffee half of it will be drank by karen

<3-karen loses her things a lot so gretchen’s come to have extras always

<3-they make collaborative spotify playlists :3

<3-they’re always clinging to each other during sleepovers at regina’s and regina is a really big hater about it

<3-they had their first kiss after cady’s party

<3-gretchen was so upset about jason and karen was there for her the whole time

<3- “i dunno why you like him so much. you’re like…really nice and smart and pretty. but he’s so…not nice to you.” among other compliments

<3-gretchen could not believe that karen really felt that way about her

<3-she kinda just stared at karen for a few seconds

<3-they made out very passionately after that (gretchen kissed karen first even though she was terrified to)

<3-it took gretchen like a day after that to tell karen she actually liked her

<3-they were each other’s dates to the spring fling c: they weren’t official yet at that point

<3-when they started dating, karen asked gretchen, “does this make you or me the boyfriend?”

<3-gretchen calls karen “mama”, “(mi) amor”, or “kare-bear” if she’s feeling particularly corny and karen calls gretchen “gretch” always

<3-they have movie nights with regina, cady, aaron, janis, and damian and whenever someone picks a horror movie karen gets scared so easily that she just huddles up to gretchen the whole time

<3-gretchen absolutely loves karen’s big brown eyes like there might actually be nothing she loves more in the whole world

<3-karen loves biting gretchen like not in a sexual way she just thinks gretchen looks so edible she will bite her very softly all the time

<3-gretchen will absentmindedly do that thing with her thumb when she and karen are holding hands and it kinda drives karen crazy

<3-they do that cheesy couple thing where they rest their foreheads together like they’re about to kiss and everyone else hates it (affectionately)

<3-karen had feelings for gretchen for a while and made it painfully obvious but just never said anything

<3-gretchen is a lesbian (i’m kinda projecting with this one) jason was just her comphet fr

<3-karen is pan (this is semi canon/confirmed by avantika)

<3-gretchen has insomnia and often calls karen in the middle of the night just to hear her voice

<3-gretchen sometimes has panic attacks and karen is the only person who knows exactly how to calm her down

<3-gretchen picks at her cuticles and karen brings her colourful bandaids and holds her hands to prevent her from doing so

<3-gretchen gets quite jealous easily,, mostly due to being a very anxious and insecure person

okay . i’m done thank u for coming to my ted talk ^w^ (i have more please ask me about them if you want)

FETCHEN MENTIONED!!!!! explodes into a million pieces

i just completely reread this and FETCHEN PARALLEL PLAY AT THE END!!!! oughhh they’re both neurodivergent and silly :c

you should totally share gretchen x karen (fetchen?) hcs for their dates

like where would they go and how would they act in public with each other

!!!FETCHEN DATES HEADCANONS

notes : these are random because I have alot of thoughts about these lil ladies.... This was super fun!!!!!

.𖥔 ݁ ˖Gretchen LOVES fancy restaurants, she likes to keep things classy

˖ ݁ 𖥔.Karen preferes just going out, maybe a walk or a picnic

.𖥔 ݁ ˖because of this standards barrier they mostly end up in cute themed cafe (like cat cafes!)

˖ ݁ 𖥔.they buy two cheap cups of coffee and sit in there for HOURS, most likely till the place closes for the day

˖ ݁ 𖥔.they go on fancy dates every second friday, Karen hates the formal atmosphere but cares about Gretchen's good time more than she cares about hers

.𖥔 ݁ ˖other than that, they go on dates almost every week, they still see each other/hang out like every single day tho 

.𖥔 ݁ ˖they have this one cafe where they go at least twice a week before or after school, the baristas remember their names at this point. One time when Karen went there alone the barista asked where her girlfriend was

˖ ݁ 𖥔.their dates look exactly like their hang outs but they state that there’s a huge difference 

.𖥔 ݁ ˖Karen is big on PDA, so they’re ALWAYS holding hands, Karen is glued to Gretchen’s side 24/7

˖ ݁ 𖥔.on dates they mostly just gossip and update each other on things they didn’t have time to mention during the week

.𖥔 ݁ ˖they have movie dates!!!! Gretchen rarely watches movies by herself, so Karen makes her watch every single movie she has ever seen and spoils them everytime

˖ ݁ 𖥔.they tried having a reading date once but Karen wasn’t a fan of the silence and found the concept boring, Gretchen just read the book out loud for her

.𖥔 ݁ ˖every date ends with a sleepover because both of them aren’t satisfied with the amount of time they had; Karen always says how they’re going to stay up all night and how many things they’re going to do, Gretchen always ends up going to sleep at 11pm

˖ ݁ 𖥔.their dates often are distributed by Regina, occasionally bringing Cady along so she can call it a group hang out (I mentioned it in my fetchen dating headcanons btw….)

.𖥔 ݁ ˖when theres nothing to talk to during a date they just don’t speak at all, they get busy with their own shit and just acknowledge each others presence, they don’t mind the silence

GRETCH CRYING FOR TWO HOURS AFTER IS SO REAL AND SO SAD 😭😭 MY POOR BABY . she probably thought it was yet another thing she screwed up but was so pleasantly surprised by karen wanting another date with her

i love fetchen so much it’s ridiculous

spare fetchen maybe ?

(what do u think their first kiss/confession was like…i love yearning)

!!!MORE FETCHEN HEADCANONS

note : this might not exactly be what you wanted it to be but I hope I understood the assignment well enough !!

⋆𐙚₊ the confession happened on a random day at school, Karen just very casually said she’d be willing to date Gretchen in a reference to a conversation they had about Jason

₊𐙚⋆Gretchen couldn’t even comprehend the words, asked Karen like three times if she means it in a friend-ish way or not

⋆𐙚₊Karen just said that she would like that if Gretchen was willing, then Gretchen went on with a 10 minutes long confession, she was SO cute about it

₊𐙚⋆it was a bunch of statements like how she liked Karen since she can remember, how much she adores her and all that, she’s very good with her words when she wants to be!!!

⋆𐙚₊they just decided to give the relationship a try since they both liked each other, and it worked out (obviously)! ₊𐙚⋆they went on a date the same day, just for a coffee, since they didn’t really need to get to know each other or anything it went really well, Gretchen was SO NERVOUS the whole time, Karen wasn’t stressed at all

⋆𐙚₊Gretchen payed for everything and refused to let Karen even consider any other scenario, they were NOT splitting the bill

₊𐙚⋆also it was Karen who initiated their first kiss! when their date was coming to an end and she was walking Gretchen home she just leaned in for a kiss, literally was nothing crazy, she did it like they kissed 30 times before

⋆𐙚₊they actually kissed once at the beginning of high school because Gretchen “didn’t want to start school inexperienced”, aka her smart-ass plan to get a kiss from Karen who really didn’t think much about it

₊𐙚⋆after the kiss she just went on with talking, Gretchen didn’t speak till the end of the date, she just said a tiny “bye” and shut the door super fast

⋆𐙚₊cried for literally two hours because of how stupid it must’ve looked, thought Karen will NEVER go out with her again

₊𐙚⋆to her surprise, Karen called her the same evening to say how fun it was and that they should go on more dates, she made A LOT of plans at once

⋆𐙚₊didn’t even mention Gretchen’s “strange behavior”, because she was the only one who considered it strange, Karen just thought she’s enjoying the silence as one does

₊𐙚⋆Gretchen kissed Karen the next day as soon as she saw her to “be even”

WOOHOO MORE FETCHEN

(i’m finishing a oneshot kinda thing for them soon 🫡🫡 look out for that guys)

there is NOT ENOUGH karen shetty x gretchen wieners on here, and every other platform (ao3). so here's my overdue contribution to the gay best friends to lovers of the 2024 plastics

only headcanons for now until i can write oneshots about them. (give prompts pls?)

# SFW | cutesy hcs

pre-dating! karen shetty x gretchen wieners

— karen always hangs at gretch's house after school

— sometimes it's just gretch having a full-blown rant session about guys and girls (mostly girls now)

— because gretchen wieners is bi! and starts to focus on girls more now that she dumped jacob

— also... gretchen probably has religious guilt

— and sometimes it's karen forcing gretch to do a tiktok with her

— gretch especially loves learning tiktok dances from karen

— they discovered that setting the a/c on the lowest temperature and cuddling is the best way to end a sleepover

— gretchen uses karen's arm as a pillow

— gretchen gets cold easily... so you know, back cuddles

— gretchen definitely likes karen's back cuddles

— but she likes it more when she's facing karen

— whenever gretch faces her, she overthinks whether to tell karen she's pretty because it might not be appropriate for the situation

— so karen initiates the praises instead; ranging from "you looked good with your shoes today" to "i like how you look at me"

— karen's voice slightly lowers when she's sleepy

— gretch accidentally calls karen "mamí" instead of "mamá" more than a few times

— and gretch plays it cool every time because karen doesn't seem to have heard nor realized it

— but karen DOES. EVERY TIME.

— one time it happened, they were with the whole friend group (regina, cady, janis, damian, aaron) and karen acted like she was busy on her phone to save gretchen the embarrassment

— the group still noticed though, the slip up and the acting; regina wasn't as surprised honestly

— ever since then they had been plotting to get them to realize their feelings for each other; regina and cady agreed to play their secret wingwomen, led by damian (regina gave up after the first few weeks because the two were just too hopeless)

— karen and gretchen don't realize their feelings until college

— speaking of college, they're roommates! (along with cady but girl's always at regina's place)

— still not dating at this point though, just having very normal homoerotic crises about their best friend

— it was driving gretchen absolutely maddd

— didn't help that karen was popular with the crowd

— as a result of overthinking, gretchen ended up ignoring karen; karen took a while to notice though

— by the time she did, gretch has curled up in her bed, all swollen up from crying all weekend

— karen had pink flowers to give gretchen that night

— karen dried gretchen's eyes first before confessing (my karen shetty gentlewoman, gentle giant agenda)

— karen only kissed her hand, knowing that gretchen was at a place where she needs to take it slow or else she'll get overwhelmed with things again

— that night, gretchen slept on karen's chest

— the gang arrived the next day to spot them cuddling, and took pictures for future purposes

well, that was longer than what i initially had in mind BUT IT HAD TO BE SAID.

i NEED more of them please im begging

★˙ ̟ karen x gretchen/fetchen fluff in which gretchen drives a tired and slightly drunk karen home after the halloween party <3

•◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡•

as the commotion of halloween night fizzled out and the people began to drain out the front door, karen couldn’t help but cling to gretchen, her energy draining by the minute. she felt herself stumble over her heels with every step, her eyelids fighting the urge to droop.

when the party is ostensibly over, gretchen takes her hand out of instinct, leading her out the door, down the steps, and to her car.

“are you okay to get home?” gretchen asked just a moment before karen nodded while taking a dizzied step forward, her body betraying her pride. gretchen steadied her with gentle hands on her shoulders and a quiet chuckle. “i can drive you.”

with a sigh, karen just mutters, “yes, please.”

gretchen led karen around each dimly lit space to the bathroom, knowing the taller girl’s home like the back of her hand. in front of the room’s rectangular mirror, gretchen reached for the mouse-eared headband atop karen’s head, slowly pulling it up and off of her. after resting it on the marble countertop beside them, she brushed a stray curl from karen’s eyes, giving her a look so soft that it made her exhausted heart flutter.

she couldn’t help but smile as karen resisted sleep, running a cloth underneath warm water. karen squeezed her eyes shut as gretchen dragged the cloth along her face, slowly removing her makeup.

before karen knew it, it’s over and she’s able to flop into her bed, about to close her eyes when-

“you’re not just gonna sleep in your costume, are you?” gretchen asked, placing a hand on karen’s waist. “why not?” karen mumbled into plush blankets.

“c’mon, mama. change really quick.” karen rolled over to face gretchen, pouting before reaching up to be pulled toward her closet.

“gretch,” karen whispered, slowly combing through oversized t-shirts as if her parents were home, “can you stay the night? my family’s gone.” while changing her clothes, she glanced over her shoulder to monitor gretchen’s reaction.

“huh? why?” gretchen asked as karen laid down beside her, draping an arm over her thighs. “i dunno. i just…don’t wanna be by myself,” karen muttered, looking up at gretchen with a sparkle in her eyes that she can’t help but say yes to.

placing a gentle hand atop karen’s head, she just whispered “okay,” as she combed her fingers through the taller’s hair.

gretchen continued to look back at karen tucked under the covers and checking her nails as she fished through various items in karen’s closet.

“hey, kare,” gretchen hesitated for a moment, “can i wear one of your shirts to bed?” karen nodded, mumbling a confirmation. “i dunno why you’re saying that like you don’t wear my stuff already.”

gretchen chuckled to herself, struggling not to make her awkwardness audible.

right. why’d i do that?

a strangely empty silence falls over the two as gretchen begins to undress, removing her black jumpsuit and replacing it with bare legs and a white t-shirt that reeks of karen, her sweet perfume permeating gretchen’s senses.

gretchen walked toward karen’s bed, part of her expecting, hoping that karen would have fallen asleep by the time she arrived. but she hadn’t. somehow, she seemed even wider awake than she was when they first got back.

she took care to attempt to slide underneath the velvet covers with some degree of finesse so as not to disturb karen’s fidgeting. it doesn’t work as well as gretchen hopes, karen craning her head to face her and giving her a heavy smile before squeezing her weakly.

with a sigh, karen’s face became burrowed into gretchen’s clavicle, softly nipping at her skin and bringing gretchen’s heart rate up so high she becomes scared that karen can hear it. she tangled her legs between gretchen’s, a wave of calm rushing over them both, gretchen shifting her focus onto the candle she’d bought for the taller girl a few months before.

“hold my hand, gretch.”

and of course, gretchen concedes.

she can’t help the way their hands fit together so perfectly. she can’t help the way karen’s teeth feel against her neck. she just can’t help that she loves her best friend so much. because god, how could she not?

as karen drifts to sleep, gretchen giggles under her breath, twirling thin strands of her dark hair between her fingers.

“your costume was really cute tonight, kare. we…kinda matched.” gretchen muttered, stringing her thumb along karen’s knuckles. “we did?” gretchen feels karen’s warm breath against her as she asks. “yeah. cat and mouse.” karen takes gretchen in, just for a second.

“hm. that’s so cool,” karen mumbles. “it’s probably, like, meant to be.” she continues, before returning to nibbling at gretchen’s neck.

karen presses gentle kisses to each spot she bit, forcing gretchen to take in deep breaths. and then her eyes widen at the sudden memory that she’d forgotten to buy regina anything for the holiday. and then she remembers, too, that karen is right there next to her- drunk and tired, but still there.

karen’s bed is so comfortable, her body so warm that it pulls gretchen right back to where she is. there with karen, she feels everything melt away.

karen soon falls into sleep, the rhythm of gretchen’s pulse lulling her to rest as she lays on her chest. when gretchen sees karen’s eyes fluttering shut after the long hours she’d spent awake, she allows hers to do the same.

for a few hours in the night, everything will be perfect. everything will be okay. karen is huddled into gretchen’s arms and, god, she looks so beautiful even while she’s struggling to stay awake.

“you should go to bed, gretch,” karen yawns. “you’re so tired.”

karen’s right and gretchen knows it. she never has to chase karen for her to pay attention.

everything’s fine, at least for tonight. and gretchen revels in karen’s warmth, leans into her touch as if she’d been stuck at sea and karen was the one who brought her to shore.

karen was sweeter than the candy they’d collected every halloween for years. for the first time, gretchen thinks that if every halloween can be like this, she loves the holiday just as much as karen does.

fetchen play animal crossing together n have a joint island …

giving you these and running away

janis put her minecraft bed next to regina's one btw

fetchen club we need to talk about this more.

canon fetchen kiss,,, so cute and silly. i feel like i just got hit by a semi truck

i’m adding fetchen to this sorry op.

i always imagined that when karen came out to gretchen she made her pinky promise not to tell anyone. they were in their sophomore year and she had just realised she liked girls and she trusted gretchen more than anyone else and gretchen takes it very seriously. she’ll tell people (cady, for example) that karen’s slept with 11 people but she won’t explicitly say that karen likes girls.

also. karen primarily clings to gretchen. she just thinks gretchen’s so nice and soft and warm and good to hug and hold hands with. gretchen loves it because she hates initiating anything of the sort.

some random mean girls 2024 head canon because of the pink colored brain rot i have <3

-aaron is the "sorry, i was asleep" friend. always uses that as his excuse for not replying, and its never a lie. almost never responds to a text in a timely manner, and when he does the gc BLOWS up to celebrate

-janis used :3 and X3 ironically so much that its now instinctual to her. it is no longer ironic, despite her claiming it totally still is

-gretchen believes that pinky promises are sacred girl code agreements that CANNOT be broken. she often spills secrets, but if a pinky swear is involved her lips stay completely sealed

-damian and regina get along really well and everyone is shocked at first until they realize just how perfect it is. they love gossiping and debriefing on the latest niche internet drama, especially pertaining to mua influencers. (both religiously quote "and you did it at my birthday dinner" and no one else understands what it means)

-cady cannot cook to save her life. she's tried so many times and something always has to go wrong, even if it isnt her direct fault. she's slightly better at baking, but only if theres box mix involved

-regina is gets into literature and writing post bus, especially because she started reading to pass time while she was healing from the accident. eventually she realizes that writing poems + journaling helps her get out her emotions in a healthier way and express herself without screaming. she definitely takes a creative writing/ap lit type class senior year

-janis and damian love terrorizing children on fortnight and roblox, and they do it for hours on weekends whenever they can. janis has had to ban evade roblox too many times to count. damian somehow doesn't get banned 9 times out of 10

-janis is extremely particular about how she portrays her music taste, and will claim to hate anything she isn't 'supposed' to like. regina does the same thing, but with songs that are the exact opposite to janis' taste. both listen to the music they say they hate in private, and their close friends know this but pretend they dont to keep the girls happy

-aaron isnt just a token straight, but also a rare member of any group gathering. its a 50/50 chance that he shows up to any event he's invited to, but everyone loves it when he does make it

-karen is super clingy and loves physical touch, and gretchen appreciates it because its reassuring to her and makes her feel cared about. regina catches on, and even though she doesnt particularly enjoy physical touch, she gives gretchen the occasional pat on the back or side hug

more fetchen headcanons ^___^ bcuz i’m bored

(could be dating or pre-dating. frankly it works either way.)

•◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡•

-karen absolutely loves physical touch . this is semi canon but physical touch is her love language

-yk what else is her love language? biting. karen is a biter through and through . it took a while for gretchen to get used to it but now she thinks it’s the cutest thing in the world

-karen is so gentle with her bites tho . it never hurts gretchen and she absolutely adores it because it means karen genuinely really likes her

-karen loves the most random parts of gretchen’s body . her shoulders and her eyebrows come to mind

-if gretchen’s wearing a tank top, trust her shoulders will be covered in faint lipstick marks by the end of the day

-karen sometimes struggles to focus in class because she’s wondering what gretchen’s doing

-gretchen buys literally anything and everything that reminds her of karen . she later gives her those things as gifts

-karen always sends gretchen songs that remind her of her. this results in gretchen listening to the same song on repeat for days on end

-sometimes karen gets distracted while doing her homework and draws little stick figure versions of her and gretchen in the margins getting up to various shenanigans

-karen lowkey thinks gretchen is the hottest person she’s ever met but like she couldn’t explain how even if she tried

-gretchen sometimes pulls karen in by her belt loops if she needs her attention

-karen loves gretchen’s singing voice . she sometimes asks gretch to sing her random songs when she’s over at her place

-they share food and drinks to the point where neither even have to ask . like if karen gets a snack after school, the first thing she’ll do is offer gretchen a bite before even taking a bite herself

-karen remembers literally everything that’s ever happened as long as she’s known gretchen . despite this, she does not remember off the top of her head how long she and gretchen have been friends

-half of gretchen’s closet is just clothes karen’s left at her house . gretchen sometimes wears karen’s clothes absentmindedly

-that said, gretchen starts dressing very differently during senior year. karen is very attracted to this change. (i’m just a futch gretchen liker)

-between eighth grade and freshman year, karen and gretchen got matching promise rings. after regina commented negatively on them, one continued to wear hers longer than the other.

sorry for leaving you with fangst (fetchen angst) at the end .

sometimes i see people on fetchen tumblr make posts with my screenshots and it’s a very weird experience

karen shetty wouldn’t mind being in love with a girl if it didn’t mean being in love with gretchen wieners.

gretchen wieners wouldn’t mind being in love with karen shetty if it didn’t mean being in love with a girl.

avantika and bebe’s height difference is so. someone put me down.

sometimes i think about how fetchen went on a ferris wheel and presumably a carnival of some sort together. it was a date and nothing and nobody can change my mind!!!!!!!!!!
