one thing i can not get enough of in ofmd Content is the whole.... divorced people who are friends angle on stede and mary.... it is so rare in media and makes me feel so at home... my parents separated when i was 3 and it was on shitty terms but they worked SO HARD to sort things through for my sake and 27 years after splitting they are still BEST FUCKING FRIENDS they hang out every friday and have all the same favourite shows and if you asked both of them to list their family members theyd say each others names without a second thought like. separated parents REALLY CAN be absolute ride or die besties and its so so so so so so so rare in media and it feels like Home
