but daddy i love her

when people are like “i love lily! she deserves better!” when writing about absolutely nothing but jegulus and other mlm ships, they’ve started doing this weird thing with lily where they put her on a pedestal. they make her perfect. she gets no angst. no genuine flaws. no personality.

she’s a therapist for the men.

she mommies them.

she gives them advice like she’s a walking talking magic eight ball.

and then when they don’t need her anymore they shove her back into her perfect paradise world where everything is amazing and she has no problems.

that’s…not love at all. that’s LAZINESS. they aren’t doing that because they love lily so much. they’re doing it because they couldn’t be bothered to write about her going through a struggle because that takes work and thought and energy, and why would they do that when there are white fascist male characters that they could be doing that for instead??

also can people stop tagging “lily deserves better!!!” on fics where she gets cheated on and then we never see her again? it’s fucking ridiculous and performative. if you really thought that lily deserved better, then you’d actually write about her life and her struggles and what she goes through as a human being, in a way that’s significant and longer than half a page in a 500k fic.

"Life’s a climb. But the view is great."

So, my sister and Robbie were never able to have the time together they both so longed for...and deserved. Which ever since I've...ever since I've always felt I prevented. But what sense of hope or satisfaction could a reader derive from an ending like that? So in the book, I wanted to give Robbie and Cecilia what they lost out on in life. I'd like to think this isn't weakness or...evasion...but a final act of kindness. I gave them their happiness.
