I thought that one analysis of the wheeler sibs relationship with their dad would be the end of it but my brain is yelling at me telling me to make another post about how Nancy, Mike, and Karen are shown to continue that trend of idealization and then devaluation. Esp Mike repeatedly calling El a "superhero". Or Karen attempting to use a teenager for sex and it just so happened he looked like the guy in her erotica.

#nancy is harder... i guess with her steve represented normalcy. a world where she could just ignore what happened to barbara #also her 'oliver twist routine' comment to jonathan. she admits he was right later but its never addressed how she stomped all over #his struggles in that way #and it all tied back to the roses man #holly spends the whole season in white-pink+roses #however in the earthquake scene shes wearing completely white. the urn no longer has the flower designs on it. karen is wearing a grid (?)#then afterward shes back with ted in the den with roses again (? too far to tell but i think)#nancy having roses in the first wheeler photo but in the second shes wearing a plain white (? beige?) shirt #the clay urn looking thing in mikes room but where all the flower design would be on the main urn there are *holes*#oh brother the cycle of projecting an ideal image of something you desperately want on a person and then devaluing them when they dont #fulfill it #itts lllike....... everything about the wheelers makes sense now i hate it this is so awful 🤠😎#rosegate
