smth about aubrey's character that i think is overlooked is that she is the sole girl in a group of all boys. of course, she's just as close with them and their genders don't matter to their friendship. but i think it adds to the wedge that was driven between aubrey and the rest as they grew older. she already has a horrible mother and once she lost mari, aubrey had absolutely no female figure to look up to or help her. she had to learn on her own how to be a teenage girl. i honestly wonder if she even had any guidance about normal girl things like periods too ππππππππ
it's also a reason i luv transmasc aubrey (i am not projecting i swear)
she also had a neglectful father so i wonder if she in general had problems connecting with boys but ended up with all male friend group maybe because she also struggled to connect with girls because of her mother/losing mari but in the end managed to reconnect with her friend group of boys AND make another friend group with some girls ππβ€οΈβ€οΈi love her character i feel like people don't give her enough credit for complexity
