thots on clover/becca enemies to lovers?
ultimate star-crossed. clover beliebs in the system even when it hurts... becca opposes the system even when it works 😭 LMAO
tbh they are very underrated by me! becca and abner are my favorite regular villains and fortunately their scenes with clover NEVER missed. the dynamic of country hick becca vs snobby posh clover tickles me.
i also like that becca knows clover well enough to gain the upper hand by putting clover in situations where she has to choose between two values. a VILLAIN! becca’s so excited to be an attempted-assassin, and clover’s excited to have an assassin she gets to chase down, solve the clues, and defeat :) bc of that weirdly they’re made for each other.
an issue is the julien murder. once the playing is done, clover values that more than her own life. becca is giving it her all but it’s less personal for her too, so she’s playing with clover’s whole world without giving it nearly that much thought. that’d be the underlying True Conflict more than the play fighting. clover's a pain in the cactus bc she punches hard but in that light she also has good reason to punch hard
even so becca’s not manipulative or personally cruel, which is a change of pace for all of clover’s other villains. there’s an innocence & honesty to her that clover would know exactly what she’s getting into with this clown (and her man) 😭 like i’d improve it for myself by making them more personal, but also becca’s charm is she’s more team rocket-level than koto-level. and their dynamic is they treat it like high stakes but really out of love for the game
my truest answer is also that i love becca/abner together, so frankly given my soft spot for clover + jumo (and even clover + tedorothy) i am not immune to clover and a weird married couple lmao GET HER IN THERE
