#idk y'all alex changed so much in just her initial first few years #in a way i feel like i don't see her given credit for #that this is something liz has to remind her of so early on #that she says it this baldly #it's already something alex is struggling with professionally and existentially #i don't know the bts details ofc but it makes sense they would have written this in to make her a little more sympathetic #and dynamic #but also it's just interesting #bc how CAN a prosecutor survive the general Environment if theyre like this #and the answer is lo they cannot #hence the entire rest of alex's appearances - and yes what i'm gonna call her arc - where she tries in different ways #and fails #over and over and over #to reconcile things that are irreconcilable #i love my disaster bb #i just want her to come back #i just want her to be happy #for like. a minute. #losing my mind over alex cabot #alex cabot #svu
