Hey!! How Do You Think Karen And Gretchen Got Together?

Hey!! How do you think Karen and Gretchen got together?

oh boy i’m about to YAP.

i think karen and gretchen had both had mutual feelings for each other for YEARS but dealt with their feelings in different ways.

gretchen had had feelings for karen since at least eighth grade/freshman year. the majority of this time was spent in denial of her feelings. for a long time, gretchen struggled to even acknowledge the fact that she liked girls, both because of insane internalised homophobia and the fact that she saw what had happened to janis after she came out. she never wanted the same thing to happen to her. she tried for a long time to convince herself that the love she felt for karen was normal for any straight girl to feel for her best friend. never mind the fact that she sometimes caught herself imagining karen in jason's place when she was with him.

karen, on the other hand, had always been a lot more open with her sexuality. in a way, being the “slut” of the group afforded karen a lot more room to experiment and explore herself than gretchen or regina had. unlike gretchen, karen often thought about her feelings for the other. it was insanely simple for karen to understand that she had romantic feelings for her best friend. her attitude toward it was what would happen, would happen. she didn’t go out of her way to make her feelings known. karen knew she was happy just staying friends with gretchen because all she wanted was for her to be in her life.

fast forward to their junior year and everything changes so fast. cady moves to north shore and joins the plastics. her arrival is, in a way, the catalyst for karen and gretchen confronting their feelings for each other.

gretchen breaks up with jason (maybe dumps is a better term after the way she ate him up) during junior spring fling and karen truly could not have been happier that her friend is finally breaking things off with this guy that clearly didn’t care about her. after a little while, the lights and the music get a little overwhelming for gretchen so karen goes with her when she goes outside to get some fresh air.

they talk and talk and talk, so much longer than they expected to and, somehow, their conversation shifts to jason. to gretchen and his breakup that had just taken place and for a while, gretchen doesnt speak. instead, while they’re sitting together on the steps outside the gymnasium, gretchen kisses karen. and karen kisses her back.

they reenter the dance unsure of the state of their relationship but so, so happy. now, they know for sure that they have each other and that’s more than enough.

that night, karen sleeps over at gretchen’s place.

i watched love victor when it was first coming out and sigh lake and lucy saved this show

this isn’t fetchenposting but every time i see lake and lucy i actually scream into my pillow briefly i forgot how cute they are

it’s so cute how they’re literally like attached at the hip in the 24 movie :c they’re so so adorable my fetchen

i would like to talk more about how gretchen was at karen’s house before the halloween party. how they went in couples costumes. how gretchen literally just spawned karen out of nowhere when cady was looking for aaron. how karen literally just spawned gretchen out of nowhere during sexy. 2024 fetchen you are so dear to me.

(cough cough girlkissers)

~ she sketches her friends so often. damian is her top model of course but she likes drawing gretchen and cady too

~ karen put her on to kpop and she will never ever admit that she listens to it. she listens to a lot of dreamcatcher

~ she picks up drumming after junior spring fling and she gretchen and damian entertain the thought of starting a band together
