YES this story is such a bummer right now, don't you just love it?! I hope this was the Grey-being-a-dad story that you were looking for. ;D
I often feel guilty for making Missy's mom such a pill my stories now, (and I also feel bad that her dad isn't straightforwardly awesome in this one) but in the show, Missy's sometimes very meek personality and "quiet dignity" stuck out (and was frustrating! because it kinda felt like white people writing noble POCs). So in the course of trying to translate it in alt-u stories, her mom always ends up being a pill that loves her a whole lot, but whose values system is so patriarchal that it has made her kind of shrink in on herself a little bit and really struggle with self-confidence and healthily setting boundaries. Every time Missy self-sabotages by being snotty with her mom --- and her mom leans into it --- I'm like, GUYS, COME ON.
I love your little predictions so much. Some of them are super on point. Some of them are made my eyes go wide. And they are always insightful and smart. Thank you!
