my favorite things 💗

So what’s really disappointing is that they completely disregard Olivia when it comes to mental health and she’s a character that struggles with so many. They tell that POV with Layla, Spencer, Jordan, even the parents when Spencer suggested that Grace go see Dr. Spears and Billy and Laura had that family therapy session (that was more so for them). Olivia has been through an overdose (and was taken advantage of by someone the night of that overdose), went through rehab alone and came back alone with no support. Felt neglected/overlooked by her family and loved ones (and that’s cause she was). Her whole journey is finding and utilizing her voice and carving out her own diet and not being tied to someone/something else. Then, she literally went through A WHOLE SHOOTING where not only she was shot at and almost died, but her best friend got shot in front of her and almost died, had to keep him from dying, had his blood all over her and had PTSD from it by not being able to sleep and being scared by loud sounds in public. Then she went through a whole relapse and you didn’t even go into what led her into her relapse and blamed her for it and then the whole tamika Pratt situation and getting harassed by the cops. Now, she got swatted and had been harassed in person, online and over the phone and is losing everything and getting stress/anxiety from work, etc. and you mean to tell me this isn’t mentally damaging to anyone ?? Especially since she hasn’t healed through any of it ??? And you’re going to blatantly ignore it ???

And to make matters worse, he literally said that she had this “addictive energy” and is “disruptive” and they use that for drama and that’s so disgusting to me cause that’s going to show that you have no respect for anyone who may or does struggle with addiction and only use it as a plot point instead of using it to tell a story and spread awareness and teach people to have empathy and MUCH MORE PEOPLE need to call out the writers for that and also them literally using SA as a plot device to make drama and/or push two people together for a ship and they did that TWICE. Sam and Olivia deserves SO MUCH BETTER, especially knowing that Sam is such a huge advocate for mental health as she hosted a podcast talking about mental health within the youth and had been open about her own struggles with mental health and is even more passionate about Olivia and spelivia than we are and IT SUCKS

Of course, the big gestures is adorable and very much appreciated and makes us feel special, etc. and we love that Spencer does that, but big gestures isn’t the only way to prove love to someone and shouldn’t be like it’s also about the little things and the everyday things and loving someone in THEIR love language and not yours and while Spencer has done an amazing job at that, so has Olivia and that has been proven over the 4th season, let alone the whole show in its entirety like that shouldn’t be questioned in the slightest. From her showing up at the cemetery when he was visiting his dad so that he wouldn’t be alone, to setting up an intervention when Grace when he wouldn’t sign to Toledo, to literally defending Spencer to her dad and brother and even defending Spencer when Spencer is talking about himself lol, to always supporting him and watching all of his games, no matter if she was mad or not and did a watch party when she wasn’t there, to encouraging him to do what’s best for his future from his college situation to going to his own events to celebrate himself and was still willing to go if he didn’t want to and even in the stuff that she has said to him and about him, etc. and in her even listening to him and how his day went and always willing to understand his perspective and help him out and willing to drop articles that would’ve jumpstarted her career and taking herself out of his busy schedule so that he’ll have an easier time adjusting and being with his team like her love shouldn’t be questioned just because there’s no giant gestures and she has never done big gestures anyways in other seasons and her love wasn’t questioned so why question it now ?

Both of them has done an FANTASTIC job at making each other feel loved and given their pasts, especially Olivia’s and how she wasn’t really shown love or the love that she wanted and preferred. Also, I thought we have all concluded that she is not okay at all mentally and emotionally and when your mental health is compromised, that makes everything different and it’s unfair to fully expect that given that she’s going through a rough time and won’t even say anything so that he or anyone else would have another thing to worry about when it comes to her and she should also prioritize the relationship she has with herself as anyone should along with her relationship w/ Spencer. Working on herself should be a main focus for her and her working on her relationship with herself and working through her issues in a healthy way and she should be able to do that and form her own identity while being with Spencer. The way some people want it, it sounds like they want her to lose herself in “proving” her love for Spencer and sacrifice everything for him when that’s the problem; you shouldn’t have to sacrifice anything for your relationship and should have an identity outside of the relationship and her wanting to better her career doesn’t mean she loves him less (like do y’all care about her outside of this relationship or not lol)

Also, their love languages could be and probably are different like Liv is clearly a hopeless romantic (and it’s adorable) and she’s not used to receiving this type of love and loves movies, etc. so the big gestures is probably more up her alley along with the little, everyday things while Spencer really appreciates the little things like how he doesn’t have to fully explain himself because she automatically understands and gets him and willing to see things through his perspective and being fully there for him and encouraging him and supports (something that they both do) and them loving each other in their love languages is a very beautiful thing to see and not to be questioned.
