#i feel like thats one reason why there arent a ton a milkduds

[significant-ace-nnoyance]

besides the byler of it all, can we talk about how powerful it would be for milkdud not to be endgame in s5?

like the idea that a woman's happy ending doesn't have to include her ending up with the guy? the message that it is okay to love and care about someone without the pressure to be in a romantic relationship with them? the healthiness of setting boundaries and exploring who you are, especially as a teenager (not to mention one who grew up in a literal lab and never had the chance to be a person before a relationship was thrust on her)?? just the IMPACT it would have to see the main female lead be allowed to come into her own and find support in friends and familial love and for that to be the end??? for her to be happy that this is where her story ends??

that is what we should be teaching the children.
