When thinking about “formative” OTPs, I always come back to Murphy and Peter on Murphy Brown. It’s funny, because I hadn’t clicked into those feelings since I was a teenager watching the show, but as I re-watched last year, it all jumped out at me how important they were to my romantic development. They weren’t “friends” but they were attracted to each other from the start, and over time, they became friends, they challenged each other, they pushed each other, and they were willing to enter into a relationship with the understanding that it would probably fail but it was worth it to try. I mean, how important is that to show to young women especially? That you can risk love, enjoy love, and also recover from heartbreak when it ends. While I don’t agree with the writers at all about how they ended the relationship on the show (hence my epic fanfics that “fix” it) I really do appreciate how they showed two people willing to work through their issues, willing to learn about each other, willing to be vulnerable with each other,and who were capable of ending it when it seemed like things might not work out. They didn’t drag it out, they didn’t make it some horrible thing. Sometimes, relationships just end. But through it all, Peter and Murphy were mature, funny, and completely in love.

Goddess help me … I ain’t stopping any time soon. 

Having a hard day? Listen to Murphy sing “Tomorrow”! (Her voice is beautiful, haha!) 💜

“To have an openly gay character of color, played by an openly gay actor of color, on a network sitcom is pretty dope.” 🌈📺

If you are Murphy Brown and you want to date the Peter Hunts of the world … what is it that keeps sending you back to the Jerry Golds? What stops you from believing you are worth what you actually desire in your life?

“Your sentence is having to live with yourself. So go do what you want. I feel sorry for you. You’re pathetic, and what you do is pathetic. My satisfaction is in knowing I’m the kind of person who doesn’t need to crawl in the gutter with you.”

I am marrying the greatest man I have ever known and loved.
