#(ooooor)

Soooo we're roughly 12 episodes into filming atp and there's been nothing to hint at a GOF casting or scene? (That I'm aware of)

It's one thing for her to go through the miscarriage but it's another thing for them to just stall everything else in her work and personal life while not also doing the same for Kelly...

We know how much GOF means to Stella and there hasn't even been a mention of it or the program?

12 episodes in and Kelly has had or will have had 4-5 episodes specific to his passion project of OFI. In one episode he was able to introduce it to Isaiah...aiding in him being able to connect more with him which is interesting considering he's not the one struggling with making connections so was it necessary for Isaiah to be brought along? Idk maybe. Anyway, He also is getting primed and position for a potential promotion or more responsibility within the house. Showing that in spite of his loss with the miscarriage he's still getting his "wins" for lack of a better word.

Additionally we haven't seen her working at Mollys either when isn't she like a manager? And it's not even that I'm wanting to see her working at Mollys per se but I'm not ok with the messaging that Kelly gets to continue his sidequests while juggling being the fun easy going foster parent yet Stella's sidequests hit a major pause while she struggles to find common ground as a foster parent and also puts herself in positions to single-handedly carry the heavy emotional weight of that role as well (taking him to see his mom, being the one making the calls, seeing Goodwin, volunteering to take off work to take him & his mom to Cleveland)... and this isn't to say Kelly isn't helping with those things or feeling the emotional effects however they aren't showing it. They aren't talking about it in that context so to me it's not happening.

I feel like they did the same thing with the adoption. Stella was the one finding and introducing the agency by way of Brett. She was the one printing/faxing the papers, presumably ordering the things to baby proof the loft, speaking to why certain things weren't baby proofed with Terry, getting the call just all the things...

It just all feels icky to me and I don't know if I'm doing the best at explaining it but like wtf are we doing here?

Raph: go to highschool

Leo: maybe... get a girlfriend?

So we've seen in the storyboards that was leaked or released (idk) like weeks to months ago now, how Leo might have a crush on April.

AND NOW when Mikey asks them what they would do if they'd have a normal life he immediately says getting a girlfriend.

So I was rereading this fic by @another-lost-mc (all of their fics are really good, but I tend to love their Barb and Mephisto works the most~) and as I was rereading, I came across this part again:

And it made me think about how more often than not, I just call Mephisto by Mep when I say his name out loud and often call him that in my fics.

Well. Then I remembered this:
