Peter is evil.
i know i harp on this on like a weekly basis but i still kind of think emma dating peter after that happened is worse. idk, i know emma wasn’t like, distributing child pornography for revenge, i’m not a philosopher, i can’t justify it, just a gut feeling. dante would agree with me though, i’m pretty sure. he put traitors like two circles lower than regular murderers. according to dorothy sayers’s notes, this is because betrayal, which requires first creating a trusting bond, is a uniquely human sin, which… someone else came up with that idea and dante liked it, so being a traitor is the worst thing you can do because it’s using something god gave only humans to do bad things. so dante would agree with me that emma’s the worst. i think i just made myself like dante about a hundred percent more.
also like, look here at emma being able to use the OBJECTIVE HORRIFYINGNESS of that whole ordeal as like, a means to an ends which this time happens to be in manny’s favor, like she never totally ignored it in order to make out with this guy, ugh i hate herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Oh, yes, yes, excellent points - Peter was very obvious about hurting Manny - he always knew that it was a terrible and awful thing and, well, that’s exactly why he did it. He stood right in front of her and emailed out the video, being very explicit about his horribleness throughout the whole thing.
Whereas Emma lied to Manny for as long as she could. She even co-opted Manny’s thirst for revenge as a way of getting back at Peter for rejecting her flirtations (yes, let’s us dwell on the fact that she was still crushing on him at this point, post-video release, post-Manny getting kicked out, post-school wide slutshaming). She kept the relationship under wraps until she absolutely had to.
So, Manny knew very early on what kind of person Peter was - he was a snake and it hurt when he bit her but couldn’t have been too surprising - but throughout all of Peter and Emma’s secret relationship, Manny is doing homework with Emma, sleeping in her room, sharing her clothes and gossip and hopes and dreams, and thinking this girl is her best friend, would never hurt her, would even let her move in and take care of her during her darkest time - how many times did Manny hug Emma while she was secretly dating Peter? How many times did Manny turn to Emma for comfort? Cry in her arms? Thank her for being such a good friend? And how many times did Emma accept these tokens of friendship then go off to secretly make out with the guy that ruined Manny’s life?
