Queenie! You're alive <3

Patricia : Oh, oh yeah. I did at least come up with a reason for this to use in Classified, but it still just... Ahh, I can excuse the jealousy issue because that's really something that deserved to be explored. But taking away her competence, just enough to be noticeable? All because she's dating now? Why? What sort of message is that supposed to be?

Mara : Yeah, I kinda know what you mean. Alfie is the only main boy who has never shown any sort of interest in her, and that's saying something when 'canon' players like Eddie, Jerome, even Amber have had less genuine crushes/relationships...  Not that there is anything inherently wrong with the nerd attracting a lot of guys, but the way she she plays with the double standard... Or rather,how the show itself does.

Joy : Ugh, yeah. She probably would have been submissive even with her over-eager attempts to get his attention. Even though she was a control freak, she was also willing to sacrifice her, as you said, dignity for him. God damn, that would have been a very unhealthy relationship... I mean, more than just being one sided... Anyone else understand what I'm thinking? At least Jeroy are on the same wavelength and neither are dominant over the other, even though they have their own share of issues, a double standard doesn't seem to be one actually.
