I love Jenna. Honestly, whatever crap Jenna pulls with them, I can't ever dislike her because they did really badly screw her over. And Jenna is the only instance where i kind of feel like the girls are out of line sometimes in their treatment of her? Of course, they're all stuck in this weird-otherworldy conspiracy, where they're forced to distrust anyone not in the group, but still. But YES, I would love a Jenna-centered arc of her becoming an ally of sorts? Although, I am not sure that's possible.
And yes, Spencer's relationship with Alison fascinates me the most, because I think Spencer was the hardest to bend and so Alison's biggest accomplishment in a way? Like, Emily was clearly her favorite (and I actually believe her when she says that because of how she phrases it <3), but Spencer probably took the most work, so was also special?
And I also LOVE that out of all the girls, Spencer is the one who is most like Alison. She's not cruel or manipulative the way Alison was, but she still has that need for control and that intensity that makes the girls respond to her in a similar way? Like, I love Spencer, but she does often dictate what they do or how they do it, sometimes against the wishes of the others, and they generally go along with it, even when she's constantly wrong about things (ha, ha, I kind of love how OFTEN she is wrong and HOW INTENSELY she ALWAYS believes she's right, despite all the evidence to the contrary, and I am all "OH, bb, NEVER stop believing!" <3)
So, um, yeah, I have Spencer feels. And Spencer/Alison feels, HI. And I am not going to complain about the Spencer/Toby shipping as long as you're willing to ship her with ALL THE GIRLS. ;)
I think I am going to have to try Teen Wolf for Allison and Lydia some time soon. My sisters have been watching, but they keep trying to get me to watch, so between all the fandom flailing over the women and them, it's definitely going to happen one of these days. Also, um, PLL crossovers would definitely give me motivation to get to it faster.
I really like "Bomb Girls!" I started watching it because people kept telling me that the protagonist is like Spencer Hastings (this was during the hiatus when I was going through my Spencer withdrawal and fixating on Annie Edison as a substitute after discovering Community. Because, HI, I very obvious types ;). There's also fanon agreement that Gladys is Spencer's grandmother, which makes the entire canon very fun, and the show actually crosses over with PLL very well in spirit? Lots of women, who love and support each other, and watch out for each other and even the 'antagonist' women are given depth and layers, so you still feel for them. And there were male characters I liked! Which is practically impossible these days. <3
