Theresa Cassidy and Lorna Dane and Good Luck Babe by Chappell Roan

When you wake up next to him in the middle of the night With your head in your hands, you're nothing more than his wife And when you think about me, all of those years ago You're standing face to face with "I told you so" You know I hate to say, "I told you so" You know I hate to say, but, I told you so

Thinking about how Terry taking on the Morrigan is framed in X-Factor (2020) as “Terry did this so Lorna wouldn’t destroy the world” but when you actually read the arc in X-Factor (1986) it’s actually “Terry did this because Lorna was hurting and she wanted to help her.”

Lorna is in pain, she’s traumatized and is so overcome with grief that she’s gone nonresponsive - and Terry who knows what it is to grieve so completely wants to make things better for her- so she takes on the mantle and in doing so has to leave Lorna behind.

The arc is fundamentally “Terry is willing to sacrifice her humanity to give Lorna comfort, even if it means removing herself from Lorna’s life.”

Both tellings are good and gay AF, but like the actual arc from X-Factor (1986) just hits different yknow?

They do a little more than talk.
