my fav fictional couple

additionally, this just REEKS of misogynoir. i know there's been 14 seasons of this show, but i genuinely cannot think of another character who has had so much hell thrown at them in such a short amount of time with no payoff. yeah, it's fiction, but when you have such deep care for your character, those emotions become real. that's a place of grief that you are returning to constantly with no healing. stella may not be a real person who's still feeling this grief when episodes end, but miranda is. and when your character doesn't get to heal from or even feel anything, then you don't get to. i have been racking my brain, and i genuinely cannot think of another time that another character had to go through something like this. and the first time it's happening in 14 seasons is to the black woman. doesn't feel like a coincidence.

me watching old episodes and remembering how much i love stellaride

there could have been so much edit potential i’m gonna be sick
