Look I'm up for more lgbtqi+ romance rep, but I also feel while we always see het romance we don't get enough of that really healthy ones, and Guy Am-I's and Michellee's progression as a two people falling in love in Green Eggs and Ham was just???? Really lovely?????
That they bonded together over this quiet shared moment on the train, and helping each other, and they just hit it off together and opened up to each other
And they keep finding each other and Guy respects her and cares about her, and she does the same to him
Just??? Their development felt so natural and so nice, and Michellee got rightfully angry at him when it seems like he's tricking her or playing her even when he's trying to be honest with her, and he's understanding of that and doesn't want to cause trouble for her and doesn't want to push when it's clear that she wants nothing to do with him
Like, it's just a breath of fresh air to see two adults talking out about their feelings and fears and working through all that together and being open and vulnerable to each other
(Which is also another thing that I adore about the show. They hit the right emotional beats and it's just sooooooo good and damnit I love it so much)
And I understand that people would tend to gravitate towards getting Guy with Sam, but??? You don't have to drag Michellee down!! She's great!!
Her development as a character was so good to see! She's a widow trying to do her best to provide and protect her only child and she had the best intentions but it was stifling E.B.
And she realized that learned to be better, to trust E.B. more and pull back from her protectiveness.
And seeing where she started to where she ended up becoming at the end, is soooo wonderful, especially with opening up about being an artist to her daughter, because parents are people who are trying to do what they can to support their family. That there's just a person there, trying to do her best to do right by her kid.
In any case, both Sam and Michellee are important to Guy because he loves them and cares about them and their happiness and safety so much!!
And no matter what, they're a big family together!!!
