So I saw your tweets about Gini and I didn’t want to get invested so I didn’t watch the show itself but I’ve watched EVERY single clip of Gigi and Dani and omg I’m obsessed. I’m curious about one thing however, the general consensus seems to be that Gigi is a great partner, healthy boundaries, good communication etc. Just wondering how is Dani good for Gigi it’s hard to tell from just their scenes alone and without the backstory.
Lol I love that you’ve gotten into them! This is a great question. It’s sort of hard to say because Gigi has less romantic back story, and we especially have minimal back story on her last serious relationship which was with Nat.
My sense right now is that Dani is very responsive to Gigi’s emotional intensity and desire for deep communication. Which is something she wasn’t really getting from Nat and Alice in the throuple, or from Bette. Dani is an intense person in her own way, but she’s also very grounded, and I think Gigi appreciates both about her.
Beyond that though I think we’ll need to see more from them, in situations where Dani isn’t in crisis, to really see more of why Gigi is attracted to Dani and what makes her compatible for Gigi. I do also think Gigi is someone who likes to take care of her partner, and so some of their compatibility this season was that Dani was receptive to being taken care of in a way that was emotionally and romantically compelling for Gigi because of who Dani is as a person.
