There’s something about having Kora and Jiaying in S7 and their roles in Daisy’s final character arc that I am deeply enamoured by. Because as devastating as it is to find out that the mother who couldn’t love you how you had hoped (and only did at a time you’ll never remember) had a daughter before you that she loved like it was second nature, it also contextualizes her relationship with May in a way. She sees Kora, and what a lifetime being loved by Jiaying makes of her, and still, there’s a level of surrender in Daisy. This acceptance that she might never spend a lifetime loved by Jiaying, but that she has spent a near decade being loved by May. And that’s enough for her. Because her story started on the bus, she says so in S1, and despite the oddities and non-linear concepts of growth and family, Daisy has, allegorically, grown up being loved by May. She HAS spent a lifetime being loved. It takes her experiences, her training, the precarity of life throughout, the implicit nature of her relationship with May, everything, and goes: here is how you “grew up’”, unconventional and likely not how Jiaying or Cal had wanted her to, and Daisy, despite the manifestation of everything she could have had standing right in front of her, accepts it. Content and proud, in some ways, of how May loves her.

Daisy Johnson & Melinda May Agents Of Shield 2x03 Making Friends and Influencing People

[coulsons-left-arm]

I'd like to think when Daisy is having a hard time and she didn't sleep all night, she finds May in the morning doing her Tai Chi. Daisy doesn't say a word. Just simply sits up against the wall, knees to her chest, arms hugging them as close as possible to make herself smaller. Simply just a fly on the wall.

May understands this as a sign of Daisy not wanting to be alone, but also not wanting to talk just yet... So she lets her sit there, staring off into space.

Depending on the vibes Daisy gives off, one of a few things could happen:

1. May might stop her routine, bring up another mat, and pull Daisy up to get her to do some Tai Chi with her.

2. She pulls Daisy up and starts swatting at her to get her into a sparring match to burn off anxious steam (if that's what she needs).

3. May finishes her Tai Chi and sits next to Daisy, close enough to let Daisy lay her head on her shoulder, but not so much it smothers her. She gives her space, a way out of she needs.

But there's always no talking. And both parties are okay with that.

It’s funny how Agents of SHIELD just has one of the best representation of a loving family and its dynamics when the parents aren’t even together until when one of them is dying and none of them shares actually blood with their daughter

The first few episodes of s2 are so full of iconic maydaisy scenes.

May being Daisy's SO fits so well and you can really see how far they've come since s1.

May teaching daisy how to shoot and praising her while also warning her to stay vigilant.

May advocating for Daisy and telling Cousin he should be honest to Daisy several times.

Daisy wanting to join May on the field and even questioning Coulson's authority to provide backup for May.

May comforting Daisy after Daisy has her first kill.

Them going on multiple missions together

Daisy: Are you mad?

May: No.

Daisy: So sharpening your knives at 3 in the morning is just a hobby?
