@BioYuGi: Abby Joe had a crush on Rain, but he said he only thought of Abby as his bud. At the end of the series, one of the final snapshots showed him and Skye as a couple.

No, it's clear that i actually pay attention to what the story shows us, including the sub text.

And the fact that you think Naomi is lying, proves that you are the one making assumptions with nothing to go on. Since there's more evidence to her being right about Gabby than the opposite.

Gabrielle's continuous torment isn't nice, but so far her behavior is on par with most siblings
Even the truth serum incident?

As for the sword, she already survived it once. Somehow.

I'd vote Tandy. If anyone could put Gabrielle in her place, it'd be her because she has the advantage of knowing how to push Gabrielle's buttons. She's done it before.
That and Tandy as her friend would be the best person to get through to her that she's crossing the line.

I still think Tandy was being sarcastic about that, kinda like Tiff with A.J. and Rain.
Tandy has told her to make out with her twice that we know of so either she's repeating an old joke or she truly thinks that Gabrielle has a crush on Naomi and should say so because this is going from the antics of someone who wants to get someone's attention regardless of whether the other likes their actions to outright harassment.

Even if Naomi started it with some haze the foreign girl prank Gabrielle has more than made up for it so this is really just bullying which is a pity because she's just so damn cute in this strip. :x

Or Melissa. I'm sure if she put her heads together they could come up with something
Pointless arguing is one of the three pillars upon which the Internet is built. The other two are of course cat pictures and porn.

I didn't say she was lying, I questioned whether she's exaggerating. That's two different things.

She claims Gabrielle's taken everything from her, when the only thing she's allegedly taken is her parents' love. And even that's debatable, given we have no context for the scene.

Kinda like how Anakin accused Obi-Wan of turning Padamé against him. That was his side of the story, from his warped perspective. Obi-Wan refuted it by pointing out Anakin only had himself to blame. Which, along with the rest of the prequel trilogy, gave us the whole story so we'd know which of them was telling the truth.

With Naomi's situation, we've got jack besides one scene and only her say on the matter. We don't have the other side of the story yet (her parents' and Gabrielle's).

Good point, I could definitely see that happening.

She'd need a reason to care first. Tandy at least has an interest in trying to keep Gabrielle in line. Sorta.

Depends on the daughter, hence why we need context. In other words, why did they say that? Is it because Gabrielle's a homewrecker, who deliberately manipulated Naomi's parents into snubbing their own daughter? Or is Naomi in some way to blame?

In one of the previous threads, I compared her situation to Jeanie Bueller's (from 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off') and Monica Geller's (from 'Friends'). Both characters were in the same boat as Naomi. Jeanie's parents favored her brother Ferris over her, Monica's parents did the same with her brother, Ross. But in both cases, it was shown that their parents still cared about them.

————————————————————

The other scenes you linked to only shows that Gabrielle trolls her, which I've already pointed out several times between this thread and previous ones. What those links don't show is evidence of what Naomi accused her of. What has she taken from her? Naomi said everything, except so far, we don't have evidence of her taking anything.
  • She claims Gabrielle stole her parents love, but has she really?
  • And she and Teddy aren't dating, so she has no grounds there either.
You seeing the problem now? :-\

There's nothing that could justify parents neglecting their own child.
With Naomi's situation, we've got jack besides one scene and only her say on the matter.
The facts show otherwise, we've seen Gabrielle bullying her and even planning to do things to antagonize her. So no, it's not just one side.
And she and Teddy aren't dating, so she has no grounds there either.
You'd have a point if it was just that, but it's not. Since Gabrielle went after Teddy specally because she wanted to hurt Naomi and she was making out with Teddy on Naomi's bed, which is a dick move any way you slice it.

Had Gabby taken Teddy to her room, that would be different.

Who says they're neglecting her (another assumption)?

From what we've seen, Naomi doesn'thave a job. Which means, her parents are the ones providing for her. And omitting her from one hug doesn't quality as neglect either.

Trollig her =/= taking from her.

We've seen plenty of the former, but have no evidence of the latter. Gabrielle has yet to say anything on the matter (whether confirming it, or denying it), so we only have Naomi's say-so.
="Cortez"]You'd have a point if it was just that, but it's not. Since Gabrielle went after Teddy specally because she wanted to hurt Naomi.
Which is evidence of more trolling, not stealing. You can't steal what someone doesn't have.

The most we have was when Gabrielle admitted to making out with Amellia's boyfriend, during Amellia's birthday party. And all that tells us is, she stole a kiss (or a few kisses, depending on how long the makeout session lasted). But she never said whether she caused a breaup between them.

It's not an assumption, it's a fact. We've seen it in action, but of course, you choose to ignore it, because you want to demonize Naomi.

You don't understand how parental neglect works, do you? Doing the bare minimum of what a parent should do, doesn't erase the neglect.

And omitting Naomi from from a hug means they are withholding affection, which is neglect. That they bother to remember to feed her doesn't change that.

There's way more to proper parenting than just providing. Just actually have to show affection and yes, that includes hugging them and telling them you care, so they know they are loved. It means talking to them, spending time with them, etc.

Just feeding them means you don't want child services on your case.

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that there's only one type of abuse and one type of neglect.
Trollig her =/= taking from her.
Do you really not get it? Then again, you're saying Gabby bullying of Naomi is just "trolling". As if that makes it all ok.


Which is evidence of more trolling, not stealing. You can't steal what someone doesn't have.
No, it's evidence of Gabrielle being a heartless jerk and a bully. Which again, you seem to ignore.

It's a little worrying that you think what she's doing is acceptable.

I'm not demonizing anyone. Naomi happens to be one of the few characters I actually like in DC.

All I did was pose a question: is she somehow to blame? I didn't say definitely. Hence, why I used the Anakin analogy earlier. Without context, we'd only have his say-so as far as Padmé allegedly turning against him. The same way we only have Naomi's say-so about her parents.

You inferred all of this from one hug, yet you wonder why I say you're jumping to conclusions? :-\

I haven't said anything about it, other than I think it's funny and that you and others are making a bigger deal of it than it actually is. It's meant to be comical, not a drama. I get a laugh out of Gabrielle the same as I do out of Tia.

But I've also said she's a jerk several times (I'm not sure how you keep glossing over that).

In all fairness we really haven't seen Gabrielle's good side. I'm sure she has one or Tandy wouldn't be friends with her, but so far nothing she's done has been altruistic.

Now let's consider Gabrielle's words "Because it's easy." Perhaps all Gabrielle had to do to ingratiate herself among Naomi's parents is pretend to be interested in what they like or help out a little extra around the house. Naomi seems like an only child who gets a lot of what she wants so now she's got competition from a seemingly good girl who knows how to manipulate her parents. That's easy enough. And while she has considered the idea of seducing the boys Naomi likes that doesn't mean she's succeeded. Naomi doesn't like Teddi and she was rescued not seduced by Gabrielle. She has no claim on Teddi or any other boy she fancies so once again it's Gabrielle being competitive for the sake of irritating her and it's easy. She also knows what buttons to push like right now Gabrielle fled her bedroom knowing that Naomi would chase after her and lured her into a fight that she's easily winning. Yes it's irritating that her foster sister was about to have sex with another girl on her bed, but at worst she has to clean the sheets or not since there could be valuable alien DNA to sample. She might be pleased for once that her foster sister did her a favor, but Naomi has a temper and that's easy to manipulate.
