for someone who hates how they wrote s2 Tory I sure do latch on to a lot of little details from her first couple of episodes huh
#like I have so many complaints about s2 tory bc she was clearly written only as an obstacle and not as a full character#which worked at the time and she served her purpose but because she IS a full character now#it's really hollow and a disservice to her in hindsight#I try to make sense of it the best I can but for me the really important parts when it comes to what I take away for her characterization#are her introduction + her early interactions with aisha and sam#because up until the point where it became about her basically competing with sam over miguel#she was her own person. briefly. but then they decided to pit these girls against each other over a boy and suddenly#all of tory's character was solely about that#like think about it after she's introduced and that whole thing kicks off we only ever see her in the context of her rivalry with sam#even her entire relationship with miguel after they first got together is framed specifically through the lens of that rivalry#which is why that always came across as something more hollow and why it didn't work for me.#the whole reason for the school fight was bullshit so everything only makes sense to me if I look at it like#everything she did was because of her trying to find her footing in this new place and feeling pushed out by someone else#and her being made to feel inferior#she put pressure on her own relationship because of it and even though Miguel was still hung up on sam#she kept pushing it to be something that it wasn't ready to be because she couldn't 'let larusso win'#which is why she implodes so easily at the kiss because it just affirms to her everything she already thought#and the problem is not that she's pissed bc she thinks her boyfriend is cheating on her#it's that she feels insignificant and like she never mattered. like she was just there to pass the time.#it wasn't about the kiss really the kiss was just the tipping point. the fight was really about everything that had been going on beforehand#I'm rambling a lot in the tags damn and I think I've probably talked about this before but#I feel like maybe I should talk about s2 tory more even though I ignore a lot of shit bc it's redundant or pointless to her character lol
