You know what really makes me sad? How there's, like, no Helen (Beckett) Rider content!!! We never actually learn that much about her, we only really get brief snapshots of her and her life.

She's definitely one of the most underutilized characters (along with Sofia Jones, William Jones, Freddy Grey, and just all the Numbers in general) which is very sad to me. Even in the books, while she is addressed to some extent, it's just not enough.

When she is talked about though, we really only see her on a very surface level which is kind of the point in some ways, but that doesn't mean I have to like it! Helen just has a lot of potential to tell stories around in my mind. It could be fluff, angst, whatever! Like, I'd (metaphorically) kill to have a good character analysis around Helen while John's with SCORPIA or just her life and motivations in general.

This isn't to say that there's nothing, I've read some absolutely delightful/excellent fics on AO3 and I cherish those stories! I just think that outside of those fics, we don't have enough... (I hope this comes out the right way!)

In short, both canon and fandom are guilty of sleeping on Helen Rider. Well, I say NO MORE! It's time for a change!! WHO'S WITH ME?!?!??!?!!

Sebastian was soooo underutilized on Legacies!!! They should've kept him around MUCH longer!!!!
