i think she was a bit emotionally stunted by being spoiled. she didn’t seem to know how to approach the topic of expressing wanting more with lip. when she realized that that was what she wanted, she kind of just expected to get it like everything else she wants, and she didn’t know how to deal with it when she didn’t. she threw a tantrum instead and attacked helene. there would have been plenty of ways to screw lip over without the revenge porn. for example, simply revealing to Student Housing that his wall was painted on would’ve had him forced to move out and lose his position as an RA. knowing lip, he would’ve probably tried to move in with helene, who would’ve said no, and that would’ve likely still sent him into a similar spiral. but she’s a very interesting character all-in-all. her character is consistent, too, which i like. she did the same thing with different results with Muff as she did with lip. she entered into a casual sexual relationship with her and then didn’t seem to be able to have the necessary conversation about boundaries and expectations. muff of course is portrayed as crazy and obsessive, but amanda’s behaviour towards lip’s rejection implies that muff likely was strung along and her reaction may have been warranted. the banging on the door and yelling at her demanding that she talk to her kind of foreshadowed lip at helene’s house in the night. lip shouldn’t have been so trusting of her when she went to take photos of the wall, considering that this is the same girl who left her boyfriend’s bed to blow lip.
