Talk:How the 'A' Stole Christmas/@comment-24784093-20141121131832/@comment-5232449-20141121151550

I'm perfectly fine with people who ship Emily and Alison, but I don't and I'll explain my reasons.

First off, besides the fact that all the ships in this show are quite disturbing, Alison doesn't deserve Emily and doesn't deserve to be forgiven by the girls at all: yes, they did horrible things that they are not proud of, but Alison never felt guilty of blinding Jemma or destroying someone's life (which would explain her being a sociopath, she has no empathy), while the girls basically ruined their lives because of the pain and the guilt they felt. Also, Alison pushed them to their breaking point more than once: made fun of Hanna's self-image problems and Emily's homosexuality (not directly, but she acted like a bitch when Emily tried to kiss her again), and blackmailed Spencer and Aria (and those secrets could have destroyed their family forever). Then, she dissapeares for many years and when the girls are framed for her murder, she doesn't come back and she let her friends spend their time in jail. In my opinion, Alison doesn't love the girls: she was charming and manipulative, that's why they became friends with her; and Alison is a really good liar, and we're aware of that. So yes, I don't think Alison ever felt something for Emily. In the 100th episode, when they kissed, probably because Alison wanted her to have Emily on her side, and that's what happened: in the following episodes, Hanna fell out with Alison and realized she never changed at all, that she was still the same selfish person she was three years previous; but Emily didn't agree with her because Alison kissed her and thought for a brief second that maybe there was a future for them as a couple. Emily loved Alison but Alison never loved Emily.

That being said, I love Alison as a character.
