AWE posting 23.1.

My salty "it's my opinion"-ass take for AW2 is that Estevez is just like. Really uninteresting and kind of generic and just because she's gay doesn't really change that. She's like the Nightingale of AW2, and the fact that her fate is less than resolved by the end signals to me that she's not a serious player in the plot and I'm entitled to not really caring about her.

Like yes victory for the Woman Likers, but her whole character boils down to being "the fed". She's the bearer of plot-relevant information. She could have been a book Saga found at the police station. I similarly ultimately found Tim kind of boring, sure he's around more, he has his own minor mystery that goes unresolved, but he also does even less than Estevez. Like, theoretically both of them could be compelling characters but they're just hopelessly two-dimensional and uninteresting in their current iterations and I kinda just tune out whenever a conversation heavily involves them b/c like that's just someone's OC at that point.

Also "Casey and Estevez have the same ex wife" -- I'm sorry, my sense of humour can't take this, that is the stupidest shit I've ever heard. You're telling me this dude in his fucking fifties wouldn't be complaining about being dumped for a woman if Miranda was bi? With how much of his personality is wrapped up in his general insecurities?
