#but like. holy god do you not see how Elliot was the bigger influence on this outcome

dude as someone who understands the nuances of enmeshment + the varying degrees of abuse-versus-codependency I'm really more of a Beveryly-Did-Nothing-Wrong-er than the show, which is a Beverly-Is-Equally-At-Fault-er

#am I saying she did nothing wrong? no she did a bunch of stuff that was wrong #mostly lying to Genevieve when she asked her outright if it was her the whole time #but all the stuff that Elliot was doing on her own that she had no idea about? all the intrusions into her life and relationship that #Beverly didn't know how to stop? that doesn't seem like HER FAULT like it seems more like Elliot doing whatever the fuck she wants and #justifying it to them both retroactively by saying that it was all for beverly #like. the misusing her eggs to do something very very illegal and possibly unethical WITHOUT HER KNOWLEDGE OR PERMISSION the second that she #sets a boundary is um. like a big red flag to me about the nature of their relationship #I'm not saying they're not codependent or anything but like. holy shit how do you get off blaming Beverly for any of this #the end was very much Her Choice (kinda? hormones + trauma + cycling back into toxic patterns is uh. something really hard to break out of) #but like. holy god do you not see how Elliot was the bigger influence on this outcome #most of Beverly's unhappiness was due to the certainty of it making Elliot UNhappy #THATS what was killing her not that she wasn't meant to be happy. we need to compare this to the scenes of women feeling deformed for #uterine Abnormalities or for having miscarriages #like the. my body isn't meant to have babies my body kills babies directly translates over to the lines about not being meant to be happy #like. that's not the case it makes sense for you to feel that way but I promise that's not the case! fuck! this was such a compelling show #I'm mad that it ended on such a shitty note!! I can't say I didn't see it coming but like. fuck!!! what was any of it For!!!!!
