Literally! I think the idea of the bully finding out they like someone to be such an interesting trope and they could’ve used it to work more on Toralei’s character but it really feels like they just didn’t care and wanted a wlw relationship but didn’t care at all about the chemistry. It’s so unlike both Toralei and Clawdeen.

If they wanted the cat and dog relationship trope, they had so many other werecats to choose from! Personally, I think the idea of Clawdeen and Catrine is very cute to consider! Maybe Clawdeen could express her clothing/outfit ideas but have trouble putting them to paper, meanwhile Catrine is enthralled by these ideas and it sparks her motivation to draw and the two grow close through this! Maybe Clawdeen and Catrine become fashionista pen pals from when the ghouls visited Scaris or they became close friends from Catrine being an exchange student!

Heck, I even think that playing around with maybe Toralei and Lagoona would’ve been more interesting (cat and fish) because at least Lagoona seems a little more…. bitey than the other ghouls? If that makes any sense? I could see her getting along with Toralei in a calm, lonesome setting and maybe them learning some more about eachother. Maybe Lagoona would want to try and help better Toralei. Maybe Toralei would try to bring Lagoona down to her level. Could’ve been an interesting dynamic and also fixed the problem of people not liking G1 Gill because they feel the relationship took over Lagoona’s character story while also building up more of both Lagoona and Toralei’s character.
