I Don't Use The Censored Tag Because Valerie Said Not To Censor It - Tumblr Posts
What's so good about the "Stay Broken" scene is that yes it's extremely romantic but it's Pattison at its most toxic and enabling, and it almost *immediately* backfires. Allison is pretty vaguely upset and self-loathing, and Patty comes in with "No you're great you've done nothing wrong keep being you (you're-so-pretty-I-love-you)"
And sure, that helps Allison not spiral in her next argument with Sam but now all of her own shittiness towards Sam has been absolved and redirected to Patty and guess what, Patty doesn't like that! Those broken edges Patty loves so much do indeed cut!
Patty pushes back, completely understandably for her own health, but can you imagine your oldest friend/lover/person you've assigned bearer of a "better" past self calls you broken, then your new best friend tells you they love you anyways and *then* a week later goes (paraphrased, and certainly interpreted as such by Allison) "Fuck you, you're broken. I don't want to ever speak to you again."
Jesus.
