This isn’t ac hc just a thought i just had as someone who grew up with boys, as much as the emily situation got messy and dramatic but the way she was just a little girl who could make these two dumbass boys do anything if she turned it into a a competition is really and a canon event…. And people being like she “master manipulated” them like bro turning every little thing into a competition and ignoring the consequences is the most boy thing ever why you blaming her 😭😭
Ik there’s the background of Tobias adn i londa set that aside but i just thought it was funny how this is a canon event irl too
yeah and grayson says it too, even before her surgery they were always playing games where they competed to bring her something when she couldn't go out. that was the dynamic that always existed between the three of them even before they got to dating and well emily didn't want to change it and neither of them was mature enough to disagree 🤷♀️
at the end of the day she had no real power over either of them, they were all teenagers acting stupid and reckless. she was manipulative but she didn't PERSONALLY ruin their relationship or perception of love. their relationship was on them and their issues are on adults who raised them (and who didn't). but between the three of them they were all just veryyyyy stupid. girl who grew up getting everything she wanted to compensate for her condition and boys who grew up being made to compete against each other for everything despite having everything. match made in hell 💖 bless them and their collective insanity
