ALSO IF YOU THINK EMILY IS A BAD PERSON GTFO. she’s not exempt from criticism, hell, none of the characters are, but i’m reallyyyyy leery abt fandom opinions of her. especially reguarding her relationship with luke. no, she wasn’t always gracious with him, but she WAS always honest. she never “lead him on.” she’s one of the best damn characters on the show bc of her journey of self discovery - which was achieved both with an amazing support system and work she put in to make herself happy and mentally healthy again after surviving an abusive relationship. if you’re going to water that down to how she gets during cases that hit home you can’t consume media critically at ALL. and if we’re talking luke and emily, ppl act like he was forced to be her boyfriend. if he didn’t want to accommodate her needs and couldn’t take being an understanding partner, he would’ve moved on, and he didn’t, he loves her and gets that she needs time apart even tho she still wants to be with him. anyways i’ll always defend her
