>>6023528I feel like Peppa relies on Cocoa too much, to the point she takes her for granted. Just now, when given the option to clothe herself, Peppa had to run it by Cocoa because Peppa can't do anything nice in this relationship without Cocoa there to hold Peppa's hand every step.
A girl prepares for a dance about a month or two in advance, and most of that is worrying about price and what fits. While Peppa doesn't have to worry about those parts of it, she still needs to study up on fashion and looks and weigh both her and her girlfriend's preferences, that all needs at least a week to worry over.
Peppa is deciding what to wear the Day Of. She could have researched this dance a bit more if it was important to her, gotten what kind of dress code was in, gone out trying clothes with friends, and truly put in the effort to impress her girlfriend, but all that is beyond Peppa's consideration until it's relevant.
Cocoa also says she's still deciding on a dress the day of, despite having gone shopping, so it's either meant to be ridiculous or she's just telling Peppa a white lie that she's still deciding on the dress she is, in fact, currently wearing and hoping Peppa's will complement.
It seems as though the most Peppa will ever strive for with Cocoa is the bare minimum, happy so long as Cocoa still wants to be her girlfriend. But Peppa doesn't go out of her way to make her girlfriend happy, she puts it off until the last minute and needs Mommy Cocoa to spoonfeed her the correct thing to do.
And Cocoa, up-and-coming actress that she is, assures Peppa that she's fine with the dress that Cocoa assigned her to make and wear, but when commenting on Peppa's appearance, her words:
>“You don’t look half bad yourself.”Peppa doesn't look half bad. Sure, it's playful sarcasm, but Peppa didn't get the same reaction that Cocoa got from her. Peppa didn't earn it, Cocoa couldn't bring herself to mimic that much. She is not impressed with Peppa, merely tolerant of her.
This sucks. I want to do a bit more as Peppa to make her girlfriend happy. It doesn't have to be big things, but I want her to show a bit more consideration by prepping things in advance instead of scrambling to cobble her affection into something half-way presentable.
Peppa can also be a bit braver with her love. Communication is a good thing, still, Peppa has to trust her girlfriend as well as herself, and trust is going out on a limb because the reward will be worth it despite the risk. She could have impressed her girlfriend, but she chose what was safe, secure, correct. That isn't trust, asking what to do on everything. It's looking at a walkthrough.
But one more thing...
Cocoa, why did you tell your girlfriend to wear a White dress? Cocoa, what do you mean by that? Cocoa, that has implications, are you aware of the implications? Cocoa? Cocoa!>>6023529This is fascinating stuff, Kato. I look forward to exploring it further, for better or worse!
