What is Marigold's fundamental character?
questionablecontentfan:
Just to prove I don't love everything about Mari:
Disgusting, rat infested room.
Beef jerky and pocky--blecch!
Complaining that eating right and exercise was too hard but then rejecting Momo's help saying how pathetic getting a robot's help was. Um, you can't have it both ways, babe. Either take Momo's help if it's so hard, or DO IT YOURSELF if a robot helping you is pathetic.
Constantly ragging on herself, denying how pretty she is, saying she's ugly.
Thinking Dora and Marten are "cool" (GAG)
Not realizing how completely amazing she is.
Not realizing she can do a HELL of a lot better than Angus.
Not mouthing off more (people say she's been TOO rude, I think she's actually been too nice in some instances).
Drinking bourbon, getting completely wasted, and puking. Not cool, Mari. NOT cool. You're better than that shit!
Anyway, I can think of more, but despite how I feel about Mari, I see her flaws quite clearly. I don't think the guilting Angus into making out with her thing was uncalled for at all. He deserved worse than that.

When we do something (or when someone that we understand and sympathize with does something) we see the intention, when someone else does something we only see the action.
Just as you rationalized everything Marigold did, there are rationalizations for what Faye does.
Do these rationalizations excuse their actions? possibly.
Faye and Marigold are both people with severe insecurities and issues; Marigold lashes out at herself, Faye lashes out at other people.
questionablecontentfan:
No way. There is no excuse for what Faye does. Her dad shooting himself, while tragic, is not an excuse.
I could try to pretend to make up excuses. Oh, Faye is hurt, oh Faye is scared. Bleh. Punching and hitting people is inexcusable.
I never understood what Marten, or anyone, found so desirable about her. She makes me ...sick.
I can't really respond anymore. I REALLY have to stop talking about Faye before I get in trouble, again.
Is it cold in here?:
That unwillingness to accept Momo's help was another example of the self-esteem problem. She has a friendship with Momo and trading favors is in general healthy.
questionablecontentfan:
Also, the way she brushes others off when they tell her she's pretty or offer advice is just rude. The way she talked to Momo was rude. The way she spoke to Hanners when Hanners was trying to comfort her was rude. Marigold doesn't see it that way...all she can feel is her own pain and she doesn't think or care about how her comments feel to others. It's not acceptable, but yes, it's easier for me to see why she does it because...
...I do it too.
