Itâs insane to me that Crazy Ex Girlfriend isnât like a well known popular show itâs genuinely one of the best shows Iâve ever watched.
So anyways here are some reasons to watch it:
Itâs a musical with pretty much 2-3 great songs per episode
It tackles themes of anti-misogyny and mental illness in such a unique and nuanced way
It has an Asian American main love interest which is so rare for tv shows
It got its full 4 seasons so it doesnât feel rushed and has a fantastic ending
This oneâs kind of a spoiler but it needs to be mentioned that this show has a main character with borderline personality disorder and the representation is the best Iâve seen in television.

This is a timeline outside of the Arcane tv show. It is modernized and was made with help. You know who you are, but I didn't know if I could tag you accordingly. Thank you, darling, for everything.
Sevika (she/her) is the head of a construction company, worked her way up the latter into the current position she has. Had a bad workplace accident and has a prosthetic leg, her left, from the knee down.
Vanda (he/him) deals with international trade for a small company. He's successful in his field. Has a thick accent and loves the sea. Used to spend months on transportation boats as crew.
Jackal (she/her). Works part time in a cafe and as a performer in small lesbian/queer clubs with her band. She's main vocalist but is a talented drummer. Grew up in the Church but fell out of religion when she came out to her parents and had to leave due to her own safety. Has slowly found herself.
Jackal hadnât expected the conversation. For Vanda and Sevika to sit her down, each kissing her cheek before they had started talking.
She had just woken up from a nap. Her curls were half crushed and frizzy. Her body clad in one of Vandaâs boxers and a wife pleaser stolen from Sevika. Both items were large on her. The boxers were rolled up so they wouldnât slip. The pleaser barely covered the sides of her breasts, causing them to spill over if she slept in the shirt â or did anything in it, really.
âYouâre already mine, kid,â Sevika grumbles, body sank back into Jackalâs couch, arm lazily over the back of it. âHalf, at least,â she adds while glancing sideways at Vanda.
The butch beside her chuckled and threw Sevika a sideways, playful glare, before leaning his elbows on his knees. His hand clasped together between his thighs. âThatâs what we wanted tâtalk to ya âbout, lass.â
âAbout?â Jackal frowns, legs crossed beneath her as she tilts her head in question. Her eyes are still sleepy, but her mind is slowly waking up.
âWhat yaâd like from this,â Vanda continues, a smile adorning his face. Jackal can see the peak of the grills on his canines, a brilliant gold, winking back at her as he did. It made her heart lurch into her throat.
âI donâtâŠunderstand,â Jackalâs mind races and she sits a little straighter. âI want to be with you both,â She glances at Sevika, who smirks charmingly at her. It eases the tension coiling in her stomach a fraction.
âYâknow I like ya,â Vandaâs smile gets brighter and Jackalâs shoulder relax at the look in his eyes. Sevika squirms beside him, never wanting to admit to him just how much that devilishly charming smile affects her, too. âMaybe this one, too,â Vanda mumbles and nods over to Sevika.
âCourse ya are,â Sevika chimes, licking her lips. A knowing smirk on dark, pouty lips.
Jackal giggles softly at the comment. They have both been too proud to admit proper feelings for each other, but had no problem sleeping with each other. Jackal had walked in on them a few times, as well as the aftermath of them cuddling after.
It was always adorable to witness. She had been so happy to know that her partners were getting along so well. Even if they both, mostly Sevika, had continued to deny any attraction. Even as she had grumbled this while pressing her cheek into the top of Vandaâs head where the butch laid on her chest.
Jackal had let it go, just giggled and kissed Vandaâs forehead while he slept, before kissing Sevika softly on the lips. Before curling into the womanâs free side and falling asleep alongside them.
âI know you do,â Jackal nodded at Vanda. âIs everything alright?â
âTheyâre fine, lass, yes,â Vanda sighs and Jackal frowns.
âFine? A-Are you sure?â
Sevika straightened, nudging Vandaâs thigh with her own for him to continue. His tone might have made Jackal anxious and sheâd be damned if the girl spirals over nothing. âEverythinâs alright,â Sevika assures in a safe tone, one that has Jackalâs mind easing up.
âOkay,â Jackal breathes deeply and sighs out, gnawing at her lower lip. âSorry.â
âYâ donât havâtâ apologize, lass,â Vanda licks his lips. âAnd I meant, what yaâd like from this arrangement. If ya still want to see more people?â
Jackalâs heart had lurched into her throat before she could stop it. Her chest felt empty, like it was sinking inwards. She knows sheâs being unreasonable, that Sevika and her had been together before they decided to fool with Vanda for a night.
That night turned into two, then three. Then dates.
Everything had been okayâd by Sevika. Jackal had never really done this before, but Sevika had experience and spoke to her about being polyamorous. Jackal had never had such intense feelings for more than one person before, so she was still learning the ropes of this.
She loved knowing the two were hitting it off too, in their own way. And the thought of all of them being together brought a sense of completeness into her life that she couldnât quite explain. She hadnât thought of more than this, of them both having more relationships besides each other and her.
âI-IâŠIs thatâŠwhat you want to do?â Jackalâs voice was soft due to how tight her throat was. She was trying to keep her voice from shaking.
âI ââ
Sevika cut in. âNo, thatâs not ân answer,â her eyes narrowed on Jackalâs chest, seeing the quickening rising and falling. Then the girlâs hands were they were gripping each other, digigng her nails into her own flesh. â âs not about pleasinâ us. What dâyou want?â
Jackal swallows and dropped her gaze. She knew Sevika would pick up on it. She had known the woman the longest out of the two of them. âWhatever you guys want.â
âLass,â It was Vandaâs voice. Soft and gentle. It made her eyes burn with tears. âWe need tâknow what yer thinkinâ.â
âI-Iâm sorry,â She whispers, tears spilling down her cheeks and crashing onto her hands. Vanda went to stand but Sevikaâs hand on his wrist prevented it. He went to glare at the woman but she was already looking at him and shook her head.
Give âer a second, Sevikaâs gaze said.
âWhyâre ya âpologizinâ, kid?â Sevika asks.
âBecause I-I donâtâŠâ A hiccup interrupts her and her cheeks burn in embarrassment. ââŠI donât w-want to include anyone else a-and I know thatâs selfish given how I met you, Vanda. Iâm really sorry if thatâs not the answer you wanted and you wanted me to be more openâŠY-You..You canâŠâ She looks up at them, tears dripping from her chin and hazel eyes lighter under the sheen of tears. ââŠYou can date i-if you want, other people. It shouldnât matter what I think, really. Iâll be fine, I promise,â She harshly wipes at her cheeks, sniffling loudly. âYou donât need permission, weâre all adults here. I-I shouldnât be so sensitive about having to share you two like I want to be. Itâs not my decision to make ââ
Sevika couldnât take it. She grumbled and let Vanda go as both stood up. Sevikaâs heart ached as Jackal flinched and hung her head, her fingers trembling on her lap where they lay limp.
Vanda got on his knees in front of the girl and took her hands to kiss her knuckles, squeezing her fingers. Sevika sits on the chairâs armrest, fingers squeezing the base of Jackalâs neck.
âBreathe, pup,â Her voice is commanding. Jackalâs fog clears a little under it, as she whimpers and gives in to the touch on her neck.
âYaâre safe,â Vanda assures, turning Jackalâs hands to kiss her fingers, up her palm and finish with a kiss to her wrists. â âf ya just want us, âm more than happy to be.â
âSo âm I,â Sevika says sternly, kissing the top of Jackalâs head.
âBut thatâs not w-what you two want. Iâm sorry I canât give you what you want. I-I know what answer you were probably lookinâ for, right? Iâm sorry. Iâm really, really sorry,â Jackal babbles to herself, fingers twitching under Vandaâs soft touch.
Thatâs how it would go, wasnât it? If she didnât do what they really wanted, it would be a mark against her. Something that she will be unable to get rid of unless she does as theyâd wish. Sheâd lose them both otherwise, and that just makes a deeper fear settle into her bones.
Theyâd abandon her. Sheâd be alone again, but worse. There would be an empty slot in her heart that only both of them could fill. Nothing else would, she was certain of that. All because she simply couldnât do what they wanted.
Sheâs so weak.
A choked sob slip past her lips and she twists her hands in Vandaâs grip to wrap her fingers around his wrists. Sheâs still trembling, trying to hold back causing him any injury by digging her nails into his strong, soft wrists.
âJesus, lass, yer freezinâ,â Vandaâs voice is twinged with worry. This change was sudden, not the typical cold from the weather dropping. Her hands felt sticky with her state; cold sweats? He looked up at Sevika with soft eyes, pleading her to do something.
Sevika grunts and tightens her fingers around Jackalâs neck, pulling the youngerâs side into her chest. âPup, weâre not goinâ nowhere,â She assures, lips brushing Jackalâs temple, feeling the girl press her face into her mouth while trying desperately to fill her lungs with air.
âCourse not, yer stuck with us,â Vanda assures, leaning up to kiss her chin, frowning at the taste of salt from her tears. â âm happy right âere.â
âSo am I ââ
âBut you didnât w-want that answer,â Jackal keeps repeating. Her mind has been made up, the panic has slipped in and their words werenât fully registering. They are simply saying what she wants to hear, not what they mean. âI-Iâm sorry I canât do that for you but we can try if you want to. I-I mean it, itâs okay, really, Iâm ââ
âEnough,â Sevika cut in, voice low and growling. âWhy would we do anythinâ thatâll make ya suffer? Pup, yaâre sobbinâ at the thought âlone.â
âCause itâs what you want,â Jackal whimpers when Vanda pries her fingers from his wrists but sighs at feeling his hands grip her hips. âYou shouldnât worry âbout me, okay? Iâm ââ
âYer not okay,â Vanda cuts in gently, nosing along Jackalâs jaw, feeling how erratic her heartbeat had become. âI jusâ want the both of ye.â
Sevikaâs face burns at being included in such a statement but sucks her teeth and slides her fingers into Jackalâs hair. She tugs on the strands and is not surprised when Jackal lets her head loll back into her touch. Her heart squeezes in her chest at how tired Jackal looks, despite having just woken up, her mind must be going a mile a minute. Her eyes were red, along with her cheeks and nose, eyebrows screwed together as she peers up at the woman.
âAgreed,â Sevika says finally, leaning down to press a hard kiss to Jackalâs mouth, feeling the girl whine into her mouth. âYa donât want somethinâ? Wonât be spoken of âgain, pup.â
The girl pouts, feeling the tightening in her throat worsen. Sheâs still holding back words, but the same ones sheâs been saying until now. âBut ââ
âListen tâyer owner, pup,â Vanda nips at Jackalâs jaw with his canines, growling playfully into her skin.
Jackal whines, âBut I failed.â She admits, whimpering another cry as more tears slide down her face. âDoesnât t-that mean we arenât compatible? That youâll leave me? I-Iâm holding you back and Iâm really sorry. I donât mean ââ
âWatch it,â Sevika warns. âIf we didnât want ya, pup, would we be here?â
Jackal blinks, swallowing back the dryness of her throat and shaking her head slowly. âMaybe not, but you arenât settling, right?â
âCourse not, dumb pup,â Vanda chimes in, raising himself higher on his knees to press his chest into Jackalâs, pulling her in closer. âYouâre wonderful, lass. Now deep breaths for me, hm? Yer safe.â
âListen tâdaddy, pup,â Sevikaâs fingers dig into the girlâs scalp and relaxes at seeing the pleasant shiver run up Jackalâs back.
Jackal does take deep breaths, one hand on Vandaâs shoulder, the other on Sevikaâs knee. She feels tired, so drained from her outburst of emotions. They were so helpful and patient when they needed to ground her.
Enjoy it while it lasts. They wonât be here forever. Her mind hated her. She screwed her eyebrows together and wrapped an arm around Vandaâs neck, feeling Sevika let go of her hair enough to sway forward and bury her face in Vandaâs shoulder. Pressing an ear into his skin to try and rid herself of the constant doubt cycling her mind.
It had gotten bad with Sevika, worse when Vanda and them got serious. Constant fear of losing them consumes her almost daily, but sheâs managing with what she can. Not enough money for therapy, but enough for research and seeing what works for her.
Suspected BPD.
It had made her cry the first time she looked into it. How monstrous she could become to those she loved out of fear of being abandoned. Especially those she loved so deeply. It had made her spiral and cry, made her skin itch as everything seemed to make sense. To click.
She had surrounded herself with friends, enough where she didnât feel the need to depend on them constantly for emotional balance when they were apart. She still missed them, craved to see them, but knew she would soon, and that made her happy.
âIâŠâ She breathes. âI-I donât mind hooking up with others, if weâre all involved, but n-not seperate. I donât know, I donât â I-I canât ââ
âThatâs way ân the future, lass. Donâ think âbout it now,â Vanda pulled her down onto his lap and Jackal happily settled onto him.
âWeâll cross that bridge when itâs time, pup,â Sevika shifts the chair back, enough to sit on it, lean over Jackalâs back and scratch at her scalp. She knows itâs not how it sometimes works for Jackal. She saw the search history when Jackal had gotten herself sick with worry, and looked into it herself. But she could assure the girl as much as she needed to settle down and not think sheâs constantly going to lose either of them. âWould be fun to get another dom to lose âer mind over ya, though,â She teases softly, nipping the girlâs earlobe. âShow off ya traininâ.â
Jackal blushes and giggles into Vandaâs shoulder, shivering as Sevikaâs hands draw up her back beneath her shirt. âOr a sub, so you can see âm better than them.â
âAtta girl, pup,â Sevikaâs hands wrap around Jackalâs sides, going to cup her breasts and hear the girl groan at the touch. âWould be fun, yes, but only yâcan really satisfy both your butches.â
Jackalâs eyes burn with tears of relief and she nods into Vandaâs shoulder, gasping when Sevika tugs on her nipple piercings playfully. âOnce ân a while, yeah, puppy,â Vanda hands slide into the back of his boxers loosely around Jackalâs hips, gripping the girlâs bare ass. âThat wonât change yer importance tâus. We still wanna put ye through the bed, hear those pretty little moans of yers.â
âYouâre both teasing,â She grumbles and feels her cunt throb at Vandaâs hands spreading her ass open.
They both knew they were, and it was on purpose. To get her to stop spiraling over things that will happen in the future. The possibility of playing around with a fourth for a night once in a blue moon would be nothing, is nothing, compared to how much they both desire her.
She still doesnât think sheâs that important. Thinks herself as replaceable.
Sevika smirks at Vanda over Jackalâs shoulder as she trails one of her hands down to cup Jackalâs cunt through the boxers. The other butch smirks back, knowing what Sevika had in mind.
âWeâll show ye, pup.â
Jackal pulls her face back from Vandaâs shoulder, and goes to ask what he means but gets a harsh smack to her thigh by Sevika. She gasps and bucks into nothing.

This was very hard to write for me, but also helpful. I'm actually tearing up as I write this. I needed to work some more tears out of my system and this made it possible for a little bit of it.
There's a lot of memories with my writing to her, and I just think I need time to write more. It hurts to not have her to share this with anymore, however long that might be. I really don't know.
I won't delete anything I have but if I simply cannot keep writing anymore, I will let y'all know. Everything will stay up and I'll just write I'm inactive.
I hope someone still enjoyed this, and please let me know your thoughts!
If you haven't, y'all should watch She-ra and the princesses of power. Catra specifically is probably the character I relate to the MOST. She struggles with abandonment and also trying to be seen as not weak and she spirals through the series until she ends up with nothing. It does have a good ending for her, luckily.
You can see her journey through the series as trying to become her own person, without her (imo) fp, but she keeps making mistake after mistake and is very impulsive. You can see whenever she's triggered, and her corrupted form is her most aggressive and also most delusional form through the show, I think.
Her trauma is very visibly driving her. Very much "hurt people hurt people".
Her path to the good side is much shorter than her mental decline through the show, but it's still good.
I really recommend. Give it a watch... Might not be everyone's cup of tea, and wasn't mine either, but I'm character driven and she made it all the worthwhile (and got to enjoy other characters too).
Plus she looks damn great.
I'm not good at explaining stuff so that's all you'll get.

I'm three episodes into "The Newsreader" and I'm claiming Helen for BPD Rep. I understand you and I'm so sorry ;_;
I'm also giving the camera people something to wipe the yellow soap Filter from the lenses cause I can't see shit. Please....colours...contrast....anything ;_;
Jinx killing Silco in the middle of a bpd split. Hearing her sister call out people who (in my headcannon) didnât accept her fully.
Silco was the only one who REALLY saw Jinxâs demons and accepted her. Not in a conventional way, but made her know that feeling that way was okay/wasnât bad.
Her losing Silco was like confirming to herself that the monster had taken over. The last person to accept her. Killed at the hands of the thoughts that overtake her.
