Trying not to lose tears or sleep over how Mycroft said “The right thing for everyone was to try and move on from her passing” :
The right thing for you, so you could have stability and a normal childhood, so you could keep the few memories you have of her untarnished by what she did to you.
The right thing for me, so I could focus on raising you and supporting you.
The right thing for our mother, so her legacy is preserved as that of a respected and renowned authenticator and loving mother, not as a madwoman or an abusive parent.
"to try and move on," because it was so damn hard, for you and for me. But I did my very best to get us both through it and give you the life you deserved, the life she almost took away.

Post Canon Scene where nyy somehow accidentally ends up in pidw and meets her counterpart who has been delegated to a flat, one dimensional mommy type wife (and not the fun kind, the "I'll do all the household chores plus the emotional labour" kind of manchild wet dream) and just looks deeply into her eyes like "don't you just want to go ape shit?" (At this point I like to imagine nyy and mf have a fierce rivalry going on about who gets to be head disciple this year and who can impress their shizun and martial aunts and uncles more)
Nyy being furiously disappointed about what this reality did to her counterpart goes on the warpath and bingge is honestly kind unequipped to deal with this? Like how come his parallel version is a pathetic simp but nyy somehow turned into a fury come to beat his ass? Like sure, bingge is stronger but he also can't really retaliate you know? His nyy is watching and somehow his lmy also seems to be on the little terrors side??? Like what???
Nyy turning her little unplanned vacation into a union building workshop for the wifes and terrorizing bingge as a treat <3
(at some point a terrified shen yuan and half his peak + all the peak lords nyy has charmed turn up for a rescue and he just goes "ummm... Okay, yeah, proceed I guess..." Bingge will never forgive the kind shizun)

i genuinely don't understand how legacies has written suCH a compelling and realistic lesbian character thats suffering from comphet and then... kept her in a heterosexual relationship? like even if you're not a hizzie, jen is right there, all the signs are there for lizzie to not be attracted to men, is it too much for just a liTTLE acknowledgment of that?? how have they done all of this on aCCIDENT???

We are not comparing queer media! Stop saying that is what is happening. Calling out double standards isn’t pitting media with representation against each other. Sapphics don’t get to be the main characters on shows. When we have sapphic mains they either die or their shows get canceled.  Heartstopper is a wonderful show with wonderful representation. And guess what!? When people are talking about this most of the time they include the words “I love Heartstopper but…” No one is dissing on it or saying it should’ve been canceled. it’s an adorable and cheesy queer show that was incredibly popular and well loved. But when cheesy shows are sapphic, they are too cheesy and are more deserving of being canceled then unpopular shows about straight white people. Comparing the numbers and pointing out that First Kill was more popular than Heartstopper but got canceled while Heartstopper got two more seasons and thinking that is incredibly unfair, is not trying to tear down a piece of queer media to build another up. First Kill is a sapphic show with black leads. it’s not just a show with sapphic and black main characters. The main storyline is around the sapphic protagonists, one of whom is a black lesbian. they are not secondary main characters. They are the main protagonists. Having that representation is important and complaining about that being taken away is not acting like other media with representation is less important. Just that there’s a double standard that needs to be called out.

Cerise: I told you at the start I just wanted something casual over the summer, and then you made me catch feelings for your dumb ass! And now you’re telling me you changed your mind, just like that?
Hibiscus: I’m sorry, Ceri-

when you’ve spent actual decades putting time and effort into building up relationships between mentors and students, adopted children, found family, and et cetera, i really don’t think it’s necessary or fair to suddenly start putting all this hype around biological children.
