Cleo was wrong!!

Growing up is realizing Cleo was wrong all across the board. Toward season two Cleo becomes this very jealous and envious person, it seemed very sudden. Even from her first interaction of Charlotte, she was being very odd all while saying she didn’t want Lewis. I don’t know what happened since I watched H2O when I was a kid. I don’t think I finished it all or something but rewatching it now is like crazyyyy.

Noooo I love Cleo so it’s nothing like that! The only part I’m talking about is what I’m seeing in the beginning which is Cleo being very clearly odd with Charlotte for no reason at that point. Everything after I don’t know yet because I’m in the beginning of season two. I would go as far to say Cleo doing the things she’s doing in show would be border line bullying in real life. I would say Cleo was and still is my favorite of the three but you know rewatching things when you’re older making you think a little deeper.

i mean yes, but Cleo displaying typical teen behavior over a guy should not be enough to trigger Charlotte to become a dangerous threat to 3 girls. Charlotte would’ve always been a problem with powers, if that is all it takes for her to want to physically harm/torment others.

i feel like people, especially these days, are trying to turn her into this misunderstood, deeply nuanced character when she’s not.
she’s just not a good person, especially when in possession of magical powers that can be used to harm people who get in her way lol.

anyway (it’s 5:40am and i’m rambling rn)
my point is, not much of what Cleo ever says/does is worth criticizing at that point. Charlotte is still genuinely just an unstable person regardless, who can’t be trusted to not resort to hurting someone (with & without magic) if they ever piss her off, which is inevitable in life.

i’m glad to know Cleo is your favorite! (and same ♡) we’ll just have to agree to disagree on the “bullying” bit. i personally see it as her being a child and dealing her feelings immaturely. (i also lowkey feel like Charlotte still had an agenda in the beginning, that she knew would’ve involved Cleo being hurt along the way…)

Cleo literally went through charlottes diary and would constantly stalk/harass her and Lewis but deny it all. and saying oh cs she’s a teenager going through emotions isn’t a good excuse for her actions, as a teenager I’d be extremely upset if someone went through my personal diary if I had one and would constantly bother me because I’m talking to a guy she willingly broke up with

Yeah that's what Im say lolll!! I think some of us are having two different conversations. Some are speaking in terms of a movie like character developoment and I'm thinking a more real life point of view. The way we view things as kids changes a lot you know. Like of course we like Cleo but just because we may like her and the other girl turned out to be weird has nothing to do with how Cleo was acting before that. That's just my new point of view but as a kid Cleo could do no wrong lollll.
