Ok Jessica hcs hand em over

oh let’s get into it

though admittedly i’d be better versed to answer this once i have a better understanding of the lovejoy family as a whole. naturally jessica would be very influenced by her parents’ presence (or lack thereof, considering the whole boarding school thing), so i’ll probably come back and edit this as i learn more about them

but as of rn i’ve definitely got a few jessica thoughts up my sleeve to share 👁 even if she could’ve just been garnering pity, she said it herself that she acts out as a cry for attention and who’s to say that she’s totally lying about that... she likes when she gets people (particularly men) to do what she wants and that’s like textbook daddy issues, sooooo... even if her parents love her dearly and are proud of her accomplishments (and it’s obvious that they do), they also seem pretty in denial of her bad behavior and that could probably be a result from them wanting to maintain a good image for the town, as well as maybe them trying to deny the fact that they probably failed as parents somewhere along the line if their daughter turned out this terribly. whether jessica acting out came before or after their “out of sight, out of mind” style of parenting we will never know.

i could see jessica herself maintaining the good girl façade well into her teens bc it’s never really failed her, except in cases like lisa outing her or her getting expelled. rebelling via emotional manipulation, vandalism, theft, etc etc, becomes a form of catharsis from lack of parental supervision & guidance as well as religious resentment — i could see the lovejoys sending jessica to christian boarding schools and her feeling especially stifled and patronized by such orderly environments. academic expulsions become more and more common, but her parents continue to send her off anyway bc they don’t want to Deal w it firsthand and they can just talk their way into getting her into nice places. they’ve got a lot on their plate as it is. i bet she’s been to a christian correctional camp at least once, but her parents referred to it as summer camp when talking about it w others to preserve their family’s reputation. i could also see her going to juvie at some point but maybe that’s just me wanting to push her bad kid persona real far fhdkfbfkfn

as she gets older i could see her pushing the envelope in terms of the trouble she causes, doing stuff that maybe even bart would find Too Far, solely bc she wants to see if she can get away with it. people are never so quick to accuse her of anything bc she’s just so good at putting on an innocent face, and that’s where she gets the most thrills from. she likes having her cake (the affection of others) and eating it too (using others for her entertainment). when consequences finally catch up to her, she’ll just go to a new place or move onto a new person and start over. let’s just hope her reputation doesn’t precede her, though it most likely has by the time she’s like 18.

as for stuff like ... hobbies and interests.... color guard (evidenced by the baton twirling) and skateboarding are definitely included in terms of her hobbies. she seems relatively athletic (we saw her playing soccer), so maybe she also takes out her aggression on the soccer field or in gymnastics. i like to think she Enjoys the vintage cute schoolgirl chic aesthetics but with a bit of edge to it, like maybe combats boots or creepers with pleated skirts and cardigans. but i also associate the “heather chandler, cher horowitz” queen bee fashion sense to her, especially as she would get older. i like the dissonance of a well-groomed hyperfeminine daughter of a reverend doing something like, idk. busting up cars for fun. idk what she’d listen to but i have been listening to the entirety of electra heart by marina a LOT lately and it’s been giving me WAY too much jessica inspiration so make of that what you will

i also can’t help but have the smallest soft spot for bart and jessica to still have weird beef/lingering feelings towards each other even as they get older. one would think that childhood shenanigans are a thing of the past and easy to get over, but it’s clear to see that neither of them have really changed and in jessica’s case, she might have gotten worse. jessica can think bart is one of her favorite victims and have a pet fondness for him even if he Did get her in trouble, and bart can always have that begrudging “first girlfriend” sentiment towards her :’)

Just curious, how do you feel about the whole nedna thing?

i’ve yet to watch eps where ned and edna are married but honestly i rly like the concept of it <:’) it just makes edna passing all the sadder bc now ned’s lost two wives and he really doesn’t deserve it. i love skinner/edna to the bone but there’s just something very sweet about someone as cynical and disillusioned as edna finally settling down with ned who’s nothing but kind to a fault... not only that but it’s not like ned is an out-of-nowhere choice, he’s Been involved in stuff regarding edna before, particularly through school things (like look at this. he’s Right There)

i think despite the occasional complaint, seymour would understand edna settling down w ned bc he’s a pretty stable individual and seymour can’t compete. now the real thing to consider is ned & seymour finding comfort and healing in each other’s presence after edna passes bc those two men loved her so much so they understand the pain. and then they get together like how peter parker and MJ got together after gwen died and they mutually grieved about it
