#i hate that there wasn't an reference to it when she returned or smth

[snarkylinda]

To all the fic writters that wrote Emily calling Spencer after Maeve's death: y'all the true heroes.

[grahamcarmen]

Nothing making my eyes roll all the way back in my head more rn then " he doesn't deserve her but -" in reference to any type of relationship they could have [usually to the tune of him returning to being the " like a big brother" she used to think he was and completely ignoring the *everything*]

Its so off handedly dismissive of gray and by proxy carmen for caring about him I hate it

Do I understand hating the double down decisions? Sure. but like wow its almost like hes literally the one who got shot FOR her sake BY her after thinking he would be left with nothing but a [hey she made it]

and then people start pulling the *deserve card for a [ I GUESS they probably can acknowledge they give a shit about each other or smth as a lil bow, maybe continue the same old same ol']

Because Heaven forbid carmen actually have to fully go through a complex thought about a dynamic that wasn't as simple as her side or nothing at all when how it ended currently was her side and nothing [because wattya know he probably has feelings about this whole thing that aren't so simple and double forbid his feelings be allowed to be more complicated than gee wilikers im ready to be the brosef i guess you wanted me to be. 😒barf.]

CARMEN values his past kindness and she decides. This person is important to her. She wants him to be with her.

her reaction to him

* getting what he deserves* is to break down

[Which I guess side note: 🙄there ya go. what a VILE agent might "deserve" canonically all done.]

saying he doesn't deserve her caring???

Bro HE GOT ELECTROCUTED

AND the phrase is a mild stab at carmen at literally any point even when they're guarded [mildly still nostalgic] towards each other like in the pilot because SHE IS THERE BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO SEE IF HE COULD BE ON HER SIDE AGAIN, KNOWING! WHAT HE WAS CAPABLE OF.

She still thought he deserved* that much at least.

And she still has affection for him even when it looks like he's someone who doesn't *deserve* it

She wants to be allowed to care.

Like sometimes

Love&affection =/= only to those who deserve it

Like sometimes -

Its just something someone wants to give [and hey look its almost like he ends his current arc giving back to her as well] and the phrase "doesn't deserve but I guess -" just -

Just -
