once again i really feel like, lucas sinclair is, ironically, the only one who's ever understood that there needs to be a balance between protecting el and letting her take her own risks. other characters - entirely understandably in most cases - either overrely on her powers or want her to suppress and stop altogether. lucas repeatedly states that she'll do her thing but they can and SHOULD help.

lucas is so boyfriend material and he’s like adaptable too there’s no one he can’t be shipped with cause he’d make that relationship work
