Cheers (1982-1993)

Which again,this is just one potential episode from the bizzaro world where Oliver stays. But yall get my point. These two could of been best buddies,and even be the dedicated main characters for more side character centric episodes. Yet at the same time with it being the 70's-80's. Imma say it's a blessing that we weren't introduced to the duo,and the white savior storylines that more than likely would surround these two if given more in depth characters. So as i've said before,im kinda glad there's just wnough material for me to play with characters like Oliver paper doll style. Less room for unsavory story beats if im the one crafting them lol.

i wonder if having more poc characters and their actors—like Oliver—as part of the conversation could have resulted in a better ending for that storyline that led to the characters being forced to acknowledge their biases, kind of like how they tackled misogyny with episodes like “Inga”

the dream has gone but the baby is real

(disclaimer: i remember all too well my problems and interests being trivialized by adults around me and i’m trying to break that cycle i’m just griping lol)

Made a thing. Is this anything.
