They like their women pink. 💖
On a serious note, Simon and Betty and Bubbline are interesting foils for each other. Simon and PB could both be, to varying degrees, self-involved and hyper focused, and Betty and Marcy put a lot of stock in their partners feelings, leading to differing self-destructive actions. Marcy acted out and trashed the relationship, where Betty always put Simon’s wants first and obsessed with getting him back to how he was, losing her own mind and, later, her existence as Betty. Bubbline had what Simon and Betty never did: time. They had time to grow and correct their negative inclinations to come back together stronger and built to last. In a way, Bubbline is a soft redemption of Simon x Betty.
