At what point of that post I am gloryfying drug selling? Explaining her reasons for doing it is justifying it? No.No offense mate, but excusing and glorifying a drug dealer just because of her past is wrong. Just like in that Breaking Bad episode when Jesse is in therapy and he’s like “No matter how many horrible things we do, we just do an inventory and accept? And that’s it, and we just move on?”
I understand your sympathy towards the character, but your vision of it is biased.
But since apparently you like glorifying drug dealers so much, let me tell you about a drug dealer I used to know when I was growing up. We’ll just call him “A”. When I was growing up, soccer was my biggest passion and we used to play late until midnight every night in our neighborhood. And man, A used to kill people during the games, he was like a superstar. He looked like it and he always showed up in flashy, expensive gear (this happens in a time in my country where such gear is not only ridiculously expensive, but also very hard to find). When I was a kid, I didn’t know it, but when I started growing up I realized that he was a dealer. And I realized that he was stuck in our neighborhood, in life, and no matter how talented and good he was, he was never making it out of here. Later when I graduated and left the town, I lost contact with them, but years later I had friends over to visit me and one of them started talking about A. I didn’t need to hear the rest of the story to know what happened - A was stabbed and killed.
The point I was making was that it could have been me or someone else instead of A, we all have a choice of what to do and what to become. It’s just a matter of will.
Judging her without taking what she went through into consideration is not cool. If she does indeed get an option to leave that life behind and she doesn't, yeah sure. But we don't know if she had a chance like that.
Most probably she got her tuition paid by someone, again probably by Buddy and she needs to pay her debt to him.
That point will probably come and if she accepts help or not will be the deciding factor in her life. She knows how that road ends with Rox and her mother, firsthand. Dealing(small time at that too. Has to meet a quota and get her cut) and being an addict to hard drugs. And now, she has a time bomb in her room, sitting there.
With Bella, our relationship with her changes her removing the ring or not.
With Jill, we remind her of her sister.
With Maya, we change her look at, well, a dick, lmao.
With Josy tho, idk what we changed. Maybe she is happier now, knowing there is another person she can rely on.
If we can prevent Quinn eventually using that time bomb, damn right we will. Hope we can see the difference we make or won't make in different paths.
A small theory : Maybe helping her out with money will close off her debt and she won't need to hold onto that small bag of coke. If she doesn't get help, she will try to sell that and get in trouble for it. Close term or long term. Because we now know she didn't sell that before. If she starts selling it, she will keep doing it. Cuz it's a lot more expensive than weed and will get her a much bigger income. But it will lead to trouble, a big one.
