Amy and Laurie were good but Jo losing her Teddy is one of the most heartbreaking things to ever happen in literature. Because it isn't just that she didn't love him and he wanted to marry her. It's that they loved each other too much and not in the same way, and grief of losing him was just a culmination of losing everything else, and growing up into something that is unfamiliar and being alone.

And it's just tough to think that one day somebody you thought would be around forever might still be around but it isn't for you. And that sometimes it is ultimately the love that you have for each other that breaks you apart. And that your sister won't always be sleeping across the hall from you. And there will eventually be a last day where all of your friends gather together as kids. And sometimes something that you dreamed about your whole childhood isn't something that ends up being for you. And sometimes no matter what we do to stop it, things and people and places will leave our lives anyway, and the trick is learning how to be okay with that, eventually.

(based off a conversation that @es-3 and i had the other day that i did NOT cry after)

Jo: Would you still love me if I was a worm?

Friedrich: Of course I would! And if you were a worm, then I'd be a worm too. We would live in the dirt and make flowers grow and get worm married and have worm kids.

------

Laurie: Amy, would you still love me if I was a worm?

Amy: Theodore, what the hell are you talking about?

I love how people is like: "Laurie wouldn't have kissed Amy in front of everyone and disrespect her like he did in the movie"(which is true) but also this is the same Laurie who had the audacity to fill Amy's book with his name so she couldn't dance with ANYONE BUT HIM lol Can you imagine the scandal that was ?!!!

"Well, I believe we have some power over who we love, it isn't something that just happens to a person."

"I think the poets might disagree."

"Well, I'm not a poet, I'm just a woman. And as a woman I have no way to make money, not enough to earn a living and support my family. Even if I had my own money, which I don't, it would belong to my husband the minute we were married. If we had children they would belong to him not me. They would be his property. So don't sit there and tell me marriage isn't an economic proposition, because it is. It may not be for you but it certainly is for me."

— Amy and Laurie, Little Women (2019)

I don't know if you have seen these comments on social media, but I have noticed a large part of people hate AmyLaurie even if they think of Jo is aro/ace or lesbian. They just hate the ship. When I read the book after the movie, I thought it was very well developed.

I've seen it. I think most of it comes from the idea that Laurie and Amy's marriage is a direct consequence of Jo's rejection. I hear people talk about them in a simplistic and superficial manner. "Laurie loves Jo but she says no, so he goes to her sister," or "Amy married her sister's ex." Cinema Therapy referred to it as Laurie getting over Jo by marrying Amy! This really hurts the relationship because it makes Amy a rebound. I just saw this post (x) that perfectly contrasts the audience vs the actual book. In the book, Laurie has headaches over his feelings. He thinks he has to remain loyal to his "love" for Jo but can't stop thinking about Amy.

And the hate for Amy alone makes people furious because she got a happy ending. Laurie's money might not have been important for the Marches, but it certainly is for some readers/viewers.

And then adaptations have never really made an honest effort to promote the couple. I know the story is not a romance, but a coming-of-age. But the character's growth led them to a place where they can build a healthy relationship.

Neither Florence nor Timothee made one intelligent comment about them. Flo justified the relationship by saying Amy had always loved him, which doesn't really mean anything, and then focused only on Amy's ambitions. And Timothee literally said Laurie lost because he didn't marry Jo and he always talked about JoLaurie 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 (beware for a new wave of those stupid comments during Dune 2 promo). In general, the promo for that movie ignored AmyLaurie. Where were the photoshoots, the interviews?! And the movie itself doesn't care about the love story and makes it all about the economic proposition speech 🙄🙄🙄. If Greta didn't care about the romance, then why did she put so much emphasis on it?

Other adaptations have given them truly beautiful moments, but overall they fall short. The 2017 series made a video about JoFritz, but I don't think Kathryn Newton (Amy) did any press. It does have the best proposal scene, though 🥰🥰🥰🥰. And at the very least, Laurie does not publicly humiliate her and then just kiss her. And it shows that they were friends since they were children.

The 1994 film had the best shot because the actors were a real couple. But there's something about Samantha Mathis' acting that just doesn't work. Plus they added the infamous line "I always wanted to be part of the March family."

Most adaptations sideline that story or completely omit any scene in Europe. So you see Laurie proposing to Jo and in the next scene, he comes back married to Amy. Make it make sense. Because Europe is also the part where Laurie grows up so that also is gone. I keep hearing the 1970 BBC series does a good job, but it is the most difficult to find.

So, part of it is a lack of reading comprehension, plus oversimplification, and unsatisfactory adaptations. It's all part of the problem.

"No. No. No. Mike you’re being mean, stop it. I have been second to EI my whole life in everything and I will not be the person you settle for just because you cannot have her. I won’t do it. I won’t… Not when I’ve spent my entire life loving you."

Laurie: That was so hot, Amy.

Amy: I literally called the person who just flirted with you a degenerate dog and told them I hope they get dragged through the streets.

Laurie: I'm so in love with you.

Ok but the way Amy March and Caroline Forbes relate to each other in the sense they’re never the ones chosen. Always overlooked by their unrequited love, at first glance, they seem shallow and superficial, feeling like no matter what they do, they will never be enough. Amy always being second to Jo, Caroline never being the one. Guys fawning over their sister/best friend. Never being the ones chosen. Waiting on the sidelines for they day when they’ll finally be noticed. It’s the right person, wrong time. Until BOOMMM they reach their character development and realize their own worth and completely blossom. Now their love is reciprocated. And even though they don’t need their love interests to survive or feel validated, they want to be with them. They choose to. And all the years of longing, angst, self-consciousness, sadness and heartbreak make their love so much more pure when the feeling is finally reciprocated. Like, all those moments led to what they always wanted and deserved. To the place where they needed to be, with the person they always dreamed of. It’s the right person, right time. I just can’t, my girls are so precious 🥹 Care and Amy would definitely be besties and nobody can change my mind.

Laurie and Amy's every single interaction (Books) because they were meant to be and that's it:

5. Laurie taking care of Amy and calming her down ❤️‍🩹♥️♥️😭😭 I mean Even at this point of time he's always the one willing to take care of her... sorry I can't. This is too lovely for my heart 😭😭😭 like there's Jo saying it was an act of charity bc she was tired of Amy's mood and there's Theodore Laurence saying I'll take her with me... ok..bye 😭😭😭

"Laurie took Amy to drive, which was a deed of charity, for the sour cream seemed to have had a bad effect upon her temper"
