Gilda grew up in a bad family in a bad home and had only one friend she really cared for. And whilst acting the way she was taught to be, tough, she also had to deal with feeling like she was losing her only friend to someone else.
In the end, her jealousy made her fears come true. A good moral. But god is it depressing that Gilda had to be alone for so long after. She deserved better. I related to her even back in season 1. Back when everyone was gushing over how great Trixie the arrogant was. A character who was not a product of bad upbringing, but was just a douche. It aggrivated me to no end.I’d started to give up on her getting a second episode. So glad she got it. She deserved it. But I always kinda hoped for a 3rd where she’d have to spend time specifically with Fluttershy. Oh well. The fandom provides for itself now. I’ve got fanfics to get my happiest ending. I just hate that she was viewed as a villain for so long for the crime of jealousy. I guess we were low on real villains at the time though. People had to make do… Even though Trixie was clearly much worse.Oh damnit now I’m being jealous that Trixie got loads of episodes and Gilda didn’t. Did I learn nothing?
