#shes too proud to admit lupe may be a better coach than her

[ghostlypawn]

the way i literally still havent decided if lupe/carson represents pride or prejudice bc they really BOTH do and ik thats the way in the book but ppl still agree liz is prej and darcy is pride......

like from ep3-6 i can name 4 instances where greta makes the carson/lupe relationship worse omg

carson says they need to practise more and so they have night practises -> greta convinces the team lupe cant be trusted and has night games behind her back -> lupe finds out and gets carson benched out of spite -> carson is annoyed but more annoyed at dove humilating lupe by letting her play -> lupe is benched due to injury -> lupe starts to see that carson may have been right and tries to reach out to her asking about her game cards -> carson vouches for lupe but dove keeps her benched which obviously puts her in a bad mood -> dove leaves theyre now co-captains which they both seem to be content with -> lupe suggests a change in batting order and carson agrees -> work together to defeat the cheating team -> lupe asks to pitch again and carson is apprehensive (probably bc things have just been going so well for them as is) -> the convo gets interrupted by GRETA who tells her no one will choose lupe over carson and lupe gets rightfully upset -> carson also too proud to admit that her gf is wrong and lupe IS right when it comes to 'whos the better coach’ ala esti stealing going wrong -> lupe asks to go on and carson says no bc she’ll get hurt -> lupe angry bc of this -> shut the fuck up gill -> high tension fight breaks out -> lupe gets most the blame bc shes not white and carson gets coaching responsibilities -> carson tries to make weak amends by asking her to pitch but lupe, still upset, says no -> carson lowkey bad coach everyone hounds her -> greta asks lupe what her deal is and lupe shouts at carson -> carson cries -> carson tries to force lupe to start but lupes still not having it -> max calls carson out on her inability to stick up for those who need it -> carson sees lupe hating herself -> carson apologies and lupe accepts -> carson puts her full trust in lupe and lupe lets her -> winning streak -> carson sees lupe talk to a comet -> greta tells carson she thinks its bc lupe wants to get traded bc she cares more about winning than the team -> doubt/distrust from carson which causes her to follow lupe to the gay bar -> miscommunication confrontation -> thank fuck jess is here to clear things up -> happy family from here on out yes? 

like the only time carson is solely responsible is when shes being a Naive White Woman™ who probably doesnt even notice the racism lupe is facing (no one did until she told jess about it) in relation to herself getting off scot-free. [ep5] shes mostly just dumb and doesnt have a backbone in an accidentally harmful way. and doesnt realise how it looks to lupe.
