i hear the bells

Do you?

Because Tyra is a strong, beautiful, wonderful woman whose character arc (aside from the murder thing in s2 and the Tim thing at the end) is so real and perfect. 

She started out as this mess of a girl who was so screwed up and trying so hard to be the girl everyone expected her to be. But then she starts hanging out with Julie, and she’s still rough around the edges but you see how sweet and loyal and big-hearted she is. And her advice, while not always sage, is always well-intentioned. 

I knew I loved Tyra Collette unconditionally after watching her chase off her mother’s boyfriend with a fireplace poker. And then getting her mother that job and forcing her mother to change that tire. GOD THE TIRE-CHANGING SPEECH.

Tyra is fierce and protective and will do anything for people she cares about. I mean, look at the way she handles Tim, even after all the shit those two went through, even after he slept with Lyla (the ONE GIRL IN THE WHOLE WORLD that Tim could sleep with that would be tip of the iceberg for Tyra), she’s still there to pick his drunk ass up or get him out of a fight or go to Billy when he’s doing something stupid. 

And her relationship with Tami Taylor is AMAZING. Tami is really the first person to see the potential in Tyra and try to make something of her. Tami sees a capable, intelligent, all-around BADASS young woman hidden under all the bitterness and hostility. AND SHE’S SO RIGHT. AND TYRA GETS TO GO TO COLLEGE.

“Now, what’s wrong with the last 24 hours? I’ve had a wonderful time.”

And like I’m like. Oh great, a horse themed gender reveal party.

complete with like … just truly excessive foods and of course, themed cocktails

and this sign which like… the fragility of like *not* italicizing the word ‘colt’. Like imagine being this weird abt gender

with like, a bucket that eventually ‘revealed’ the gender

But like… the picture that really just completely undid me, for this party which surely was more money than many weddings -

So let me get this straight- Veronica being in an adult relationship/marriage while clearly struggling with a dangerous job, depression and perhaps addiction issues isn't interesting.

There was no story left for a damaged private investigator and her NAVAL INTELLIGENCE OFFICER husband.

The more interesting story was a damaged, broken detective pushing-40 while banging random dudes and relying on daddy for support.

clearly you aren't. you had your protag raped twice. and she got back together with the first one.
