first of all i’d like to say that i, as a poppy stan, i’m not defending any of poppy’s actions i am merely giving my point of view about the latest of qb. i know what she did was irredeemable and i’m no way making up any excuse for it.

so i saw this essay on reddit comparing queen b so nietzsche’s concept of staring into the abyss, which is basically if you stare at the darkness too long eventually it will consume you as well

and i would like to talk about mc and poppy’s dynamic in the recent chapters which i can only summarize as an obsession.

it’s become very obvious by now that poppy is into mc specially because of the way every interaction is written. i know pb‘s writing can be bad sometimes and they tend to go off the rails on their own storylines but i don’t want to believe the amount of effort put into writing poppy and mc has been done just because.

the way they kept describing poppy looking at mc as if she wants to eat her up, mc being the only person she’s somewhat let her guard down with at least for a moment. and all of those quotes we poppy stans know by heart suggesting that there was a lot more to poppy min-sinclair

now, i know we are all upset because of the way pixelberry handled her character and pushed her past a redeeming point. and while i am too i have started wondering wether pb’s true intent was to give the poppy stans hope to crush it afterwards just to spite us or wether it was for another purpose

poppy has been trying to destroy mc’s life ever since she step foot into belvoire. yes, poppy is known for being ruthless and destroying anyone who might get in the way of her status as a queen bee, but mc was just the new girl, she presented no threat to poppy as the one thing that motivated her to become number one was poppy’s humiliation in the first chapter. and from an outsider point of view, she was really just a farmgirl who stumbled into a bougie university, what were the chances of her actually becoming number one?

a lot of people have been comparing queen b to mean girls, but unlike poppy, regina george “adopted” cady precisely because she was the new girl, she didn’t know anything about how things worked in her school so she could very easily become one of her mindless minions, she could be useful to regina. but poppy? poppy made it her duty to destroy mc’s reputation for no apparent reason, of course all of that was fueled by mc biting back at her and not letting herself be intimidated like everyone else but it still doesn’t explain why poppy would pick on her first

my opinion? obsession. poppy has been obsessed with mc since she first saw her.

now, let’s take a look at poppy’s background. we all know the sinclairs are a hot mess of a family, her mother cheated on her father with a preeschool teacher. but what happened to that guy? his whole life was more likely destroyed by poppy’s dad which could be the first time poppy was exposed to this sort of tactics.

now, maybe because of her family’s dynamics. her concept of love is totally distorted and twisted, she stopped valuing the importance of genuine connections (hence, the conversation she had with mc about her not having any friends just minions) and all around missed the opportunity of having a healthy relationship with feelings

so my theory is, she had feelings for the mc but those feelings clouded by her mentality and in the moment mc barked back it turned into an obsession. and we can see there is a possibility she’s aware of that when during one of her diamond scenes mc mentions her being obsessed with her and she’s just speechless

obsession is often portrayed as being so in love with someone it becomes unhealthy, delusional and makes you do crazy things. but in poppy’s case she sets her mind on destroying mc which might be one of the reasons she targeted zoey instead of mc. zoey was the one person who never left her side, she was the master mind behind every one of mc’s tricks, she was the one who kept coming up with solutions to fix mc’s messes and she was the only person who was truly loyal to mc so she did everything she could to cut those ties (again, i am not justifying what she did nor am i saying there’s no way it could have come from a place of discrimination this is simply what i got from the whole situation)

and poppy is not the only one who fell into the spectrum of obsession. no matter how much zoey warned her mc’s life started revolving around poppy. destroying poppy, dethroning poppy, sleeping with poppy, exposing poppy. even after the zoey thing happened in this chapter the conversation still didn’t seem to stray to far away from poppy. because her rivality or whatever they have going on came in first than the person who always stood by her side no matter what

they’ve both fallen into a vicious circle of destruction. both of their lives revolve around each other and as upset as i feel about the way pb has been treating characters i am curious to see the way they handle this whole storyline

Me, after reading Queen B for the last 3 weeks:

[poppysimp]

whatever happened to liking villains for being villains why do fans of villains have to constantly defend their behavior and excuse it why can’t people ever go “you know what he fucked up here and is evil and has done evil shit but you know what it makes for an interesting character” stop trying to make these villains be good if canonically they’re not shown to actually be good people let villains be villains

[poppysimp]

i just ,,,,, want to love poppy

[poppysimp]

the only highlight of this chapter i swear
