IS SIMONE A VILLAIN...

Let's talk about it, because I don't think she is, if anything, she's a victim of everyone around her...First of all, her dad and Devon. Devon demanding that Simone leave her life and come home to help her take care of a father who neglected and abused her, doesn't sit right with me at all...

Like I get taking care of him might've been too much for her to handle, but her having no consideration for how it would make Simone feel is extremely selfish...

I also feel that Kiki failed to protect Simone from her predator of a husband, which was what ended up pushing Simone to her desperate measure of going to him. If she had used that photograph as proof and gotten a divorce instead of firing Simone that would have been better for both of them...

Believe it or not, I think that Simone ending up with Peter leaves her trapped in a less unfortunate situation (the more unfortunate situation will be being alone with her dad), that'd not any sort of happy ending, because for one she doesn't feel any sort of actual affection for him, and she is well aware that he is likely to replace her eventually, like he did with his first wife and Kiki...

The actual Siren is and always was Peter Kell.

The Price Of Freedom - Michaela 'Kiki' Kell/Devon DeWitt

A/N: Second fic for the latest prompt from @flashfictionfridayofficial

The price of peace. Michaela considers it quietly. She’s lost it all, or so it seems, but then she doesn’t have to keep her guard up. She doesn’t have to pretend to not prefer other people than her husband. She is free. At peace. Devon watches her, a quiet watchfulness that makes it hard to make a choice what to do next. She walks away alone, at first, the price of peace is lonely, it seems. Then, after a month, she sees it. The last message she’d wanted to see. Simone’s father, Devon’s father, has died. Simone will be fine, she has Peter, but Devon is alone. She finds her back where it all started. At the dock for the ferry. Devon’s breathing catches and Kiki finds she moves to take her hand, her voice softer, more honest than before. “You don’t have to face them alone.” Once they arrive it’s clearer, the price of peace, of happiness, is facing the past. The mistakes she’s made. Devon curls into her arms when it’s all over, finally, finally whispering the words she’s most wanted to hear. “Take me home.” They walk away together, Devon finding peace with Kiki, even when Kiki seems still a little nervous. She’s not used to this, to peace, not true peace. She learns, slowly, to adapt. To trust someone, really trust them. In the end, she decides, it’s worth it.

PART 2!!!

José is so misogynistic, it's so funny how he mocks and judges Simone and Kiki ( by insinuating that she was unkind, which she wasn't), but he doesn't hesitate to enable Peter's seemingly repetitive behaviour ( which he knows is wrong mind you), he was an extremely hard watch...

Something else the show highlights, is how men try to blame women for their own actions. From Peter blaming Kiki for his relationship with his children going bitter, to Ray blaming Devon for him throwing himself into the ocean, and Ethan accusing Simone of pushing him off the cliff, even though she tried to help him and he refused multiple times...

SIRENSSS...This was such a good show and a really interesting way to portray how society constantly villainizes women for the actions of men, and also for simply not being meek...

The first thing that irked me was how people, without any sort of proof whatsoever, assume and accuse Kiki of murdering Peter's ex-wife. Somehow, in the narrative they've made up, they've painted him as some sort of victim (even though HE cheated on HIS wife) and her (Kiki) as an evil woman...

Something else that really pissed me off was how the staff acted towards Simone, whose only crime was doing her job. They didn't even have any sort of respect for her, and their hatred for her is so illogical, they act like she's some sort of demon, but she's literally just a woman in a position somewhat above them...

I think i should do a part 2....
