Storer, I will watch all of your work if it turns out that Claire IS manipulative and we're just the Carmy of the story. Hear me out, the part of the fandom that dislikes Claire is criticized because "she's so nice, so patient, she helps him, he was so mean to her, she deserved an apology". (did not)
She's lying behind his back, I feel like we've all forgotten how she was telling Tiff that Carm said it would be all her fault. Does she even like him? She literally made a burning joke after her ex-boyfriend told her he self-harmed by grabbing a burning pan when he learned about his brother's suicide, and still, some people says that it's to playfully deflects and not make it as serious?? IT IS?!
And she's like, "This was really hard for me." What was hard, tho?? Hearing the guy you love say he didn't deserve enjoyment??
Half the stuff she was saying in their fight was not true! She did not seem guilty about forcing him. It's like we're being lied to, I was doubting myself like did she?? The girl looks like she's having the time of her life making him the butt of her jokes๐ญ
And that reminds me of people who warns their friends about their partner and they're suddenly a threat to their friend's toxic couple and pushed away and IT TURNS OUT THEY WERE RIGHT
Also, it's crazy what some people in this fandom thinks about Carm, saying he kinda deserves how Claire treats him because of what he said and that he should just put his head down and take it. Oh, you mean the thing he's been doing his whole life?๐ What a lovely, healthy relationship.
