'helen is so underdevelopped as a character!' 'helen's boring!' stfu u just don't like her bc she's a woc and because she doesn't behave exactly like michael. yall put so much effort into developping michael's character inside your minds and completely look over her because she's 'poorly written.' stop.

#this is kinda a rant but like #it pisses me off when people call her poorly written #she has a more detailed backstory than michael??? what are you talking about #like all we really get from shelley (pre-distortion michael) is that one clip at the end of 99 #but we get a WHOLE statement from richardson (pre-distortion helen) and yall CHOOSE to ignore it #like i get the appeal of a tragic backstory vs. being a real estate agent but still #like ur allowed to prefer michael over her #i don't dislike michael by any means #he's tied with helen in my mind in terms of tma characters #but why do people dismiss her so much????#she is NOT poorly written you are covering your eyes (ears?) to avoid admitting her importance to the overall plot #especially to jon's character arc in s5 #like their whole dynamic is absolutely fascinating #with jon #anyway rant over.#helen enjoyers wya #helen distortion #helen richardson #helen the distortion #tma the distortion #tma helen #not saying michael is poorly written either btw #they're both well written #im just pissed off at a certain group of people who insist michael is better written when it's literally not
