Gwen had a difficult upbringing? i can imagine since we know her current orientation. Was she closeted at the time in her teenage years?

dr-hegemony said to nicolaswildes: So tell me, how cliche was Gwen’s room during her teenage years? Did it just scream closeted lesbian? Was there an ugly and bizarre flower motif? I need to know.



Gwen didn’t like to bring Nick over because her home life wasn’t exactly stellar- while Nick at least had a functioning family unit in his childhood- this almost legendarily perfect father figure, a loving mother- she was faced with two snarling, scratching nightmares. And the Wilde home was so inviting and peaceful, they were always happy to have her over, and the tailor shop became her haven during her formative years. Of course, things went to hell for everyone once the collar came around.

In her teens, Gwen was very VERY closeted- to the point that she led Nick on in attempt to steer herself in the other direction (and keep schoolgirl rumors from reaching her dad). Eventually she came to the conclusion that she wasn’t being true to herself and broke it off. Things were different between them after that, but they always remained close. As far as Gwen is concerned, Nick’s the only real family she has,
