#ii pepper

yes duh of course I fell in love with tacopep because of the INSANE toxic yuri potential but genuinely I do think taco could save pepper right now I mean let’s break it down she knows what it’s like to feel outcast from everyone else, shes more or less “reformed” so she would easily understand the anger that pepper has been having lately, lesbian, and it would also be great for taco as well since pepper never actually saw any of her “evil” things or whatever so she probably doesn’t have as negative of a view of her can they kiss please

can we please get pepper a goddamn friend shes attached herself at the hip to only one person her entire life (who she seems to be avoiding right now) and everyone else hates that one person which has isolated pepper by proxy, and on top of that the only other person who we (yes, WE) headcanon her to be friends with just abandoned himself on death wish island, meaning the only person she has to talk to/have any realizations about this with is her literal worst enemy can we please get this girl a goddamn friend

PEPPER IS TRYING SOOOO HARD TO BREAK HER THROUGH HER CODE BUT MAGNET IS JUST STRAIGHT UP NOT LETTING HER BE ABLE TO. SHES JUST (UNINTENTIONALLY) FORCEFULLY PUTTING HER BACK INTO HER WHAT SHE WAS MADE TO BE BY THINKING SHE NEEDS TO BE THE ONE TO BE LISTENED TO. like god. she wants to BE somebody. she doesnt want to be defined by someone else. she doesnt want to blindly follow someone like she did with salt. SHE WANTS INDEPENDENCE SO BADLY BUT SHES NOT GETTING IT. SHE WANTS AND NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO FUNCTION ALONE. SHE NEEDS THAT, BADLY. genuinely one of the reasons i dislike magnet so much is because she isnt leaving pepper alone. she isnt letting her have room to grow by herself. she thinks she has to have peppers attention at all times. thus not letting pepper be able to do things or even think for herself. she doesnt seem to realize that this is not what pepper needs. what pepper needs is the exact opposite of what shes doing
