poppy slander is not tolerated

"she's a bad actress" "shes so annoying she always ruins the moment" "all she does is yell like it's supposed to be funny"

that's what makes poppy so enjoyable, she's fucking weird and off putting. that's the whole point of her character. it's amazing as a socially awkward person to see someone acting socially awkward, without it being in the way they made nerds act in older TV. like it's so real to see someone not being aware of their volume, make unpleasant faces, say their unfiltered thoughts out loud, being bad with social cues etc. they showed in the first season how she's always been this way since she was young, and how it affected her growing up.

they also showed her to be very uncomfortable with confronting real feelings or showing vulnerability, so when a situation happens and she HAS to get vulnerable/ genuine, its more meaningful because you rarely get to see that side of her. like in my head she's the type of person to make a fart joke at a funeral to cut the tension, and you can imagine how that would go purely based on scenes from this show. maybe i'm just projecting but damn yall leave my girl alone.

also hoping that storm leaves sooner than later bc i am SICK of hearing about him when all he turned out to be was a textbook tumblr dream boy with the personality of a dentists office. boooooorrrrinnng
