/ please don’t interpret my use of “lover” here in a ship way that’s seriously NOT the point i’m trying to make here. i just mean that All of olivia’s love, devotion, obsession etc. gets channeled into gwen and nobody else
/ i think reducing gwen and olivia to “mother and daughter” gets rid of a lot of complexities about them… as far as we know, gwen is made to be a replacement for Everyone in olivia’s life. a friend, a teacher, an idol, a role model, a fairy tale. a pure and real life princess.
/ like also take this with a grain of salt because this is mostly speculation and we don’t actually have tons to go off of regarding olivia and gwen other than it’s Bad. but like. yeah
