you know, the Charlie Brown character?
charlie brown is the walking talking punchline for all the kids in the neighborhood. He’s always wanting to be loved and accepted, but consistently fucks up. And when he finally gets bullied to the point he just walks away, the kids do make right, but they still treat him like shit. Which makes him sad, pathetic, and endearing.
but what about peppermint patty?
she always flirts with him regardless of how the other kids treat him. She enjoys his company and always makes an effort to make “chuck” feel better. Mind you she does force herself upon him, and she has a domineering personality, but she always reaches out to him. Yet at every turn she is always disregarded by him, even pushed away. To be shunned by the kid shunned by everyone else has got to fucking hurt. I assume that she reaches out to her lesbian friend Marcy for support. And for that matter what about Marcy?
the only person she talks to is peppermint patty. She’s a “disappear into the background” person. So does she only talk to PP because she’s in love with her? Or because she believes that PP will protect her from the ignorance of others? To potentially gain some of PPs courage and don’t care attitude to find the strength to live her truth?
tl;dr: I’ve been having a rough couple of months and it’s not about to get easier so I’m hyper analyzing a fucking cartoon.
