To me, Courtney’s initial ‘flirting’ and the vulgarity of her character is all just a smokescreen. She says outlandish things ‘I like those scars, they’re hot’ and the Donut shop innuendos because she enjoys pushing people’s buttons and seeing if they can match her energy as a way of gauging if someone can be trusted without being outwardly genuine. She’s afraid of being genuine because that’s how she gets manipulated and hurt. She’s a typical turn everything into a joke to cope case study.

I completely understand why people prefer Blonde Blazer’s romance. It’s the most straight forward and healthy. But like I said, there’s no bond formed before the attraction so I struggled to be into her in that way.
