#because kay is very much an influence in lizzie's creation and direction

[owestwind]

so many thoughts about the implications of lizzie's short-lived relationship with angel chan.gretta. when confronting arthur about it, she uses the phrase " when lightning strikes ". i am almost certain this is her paraphrasing the english translation of colpo di fulmine, which likens love, specifically a really intense and undeniable kind of love, to a thunderbolt ( which sk would have taken from the godfa.ther ).

#there are obviously a lot more blatant references in other characters but inch resting if angel is also a vague nod to michael #because kay is very much an influence in lizzie's creation and direction #steven i see you and i need to do a reread of that series #and then i am just smitten with how much of a romantic she is. she has such a big dumb soft heart and it causes her so much trouble #i also just love her love and use of language #it develops a lot more in the later series ( likely because literacy is just generally more accessible ) and i just adore that about her #there's also a lot to say of tommy's possessiveness of her ( a recurring theme in their dynamic ) and his willingness to go to war for it
