My prediction of Jaisy becoming canon

My prediction of Jailey becoming canon

Hello freakblr👀👀.....have some hailias as a peace offering

This scene has always made me raise an eyebrow because, in Jake’s nightmare, Zoey and Lia are framed as whispering in his ear and influencing him into believing the club is bad. However, in the actual group discussion, everyone contributes to that pressure in different ways. Despite this, both the narrative framing and parts of the fandom tend to disproportionately blame Zoey and Lia. Lia does contribute more directly to the discussion, but Zoey, compared to the rest of the group (especially Drew), doesn’t really say much of substance beyond reinforcing what others are already saying.

I don’t fully know how to say it properly, It feels like this ends up shifting too much responsibility onto them, which also makes Jake seem less responsible for his own choices, even though he himself understands he’s at fault.

This happens to Hailey too!

Drew defaults to blaming her because it’s easier to believe a girl is “in Jake’s ear” than to accept that Jake is making his own choices. He strips Jake of agency just to avoid admitting he’s being left behind.

Hailey becomes the convenient villain, controlling and manipulative, because that narrative protects Drew’s ego. He doesn’t have to confront Jake, and he definitely doesn’t have to confront himself. And the fandom takes it as fact! He’s an unreliable narrator he’s UNRELIABLE!!!!!!!!
