Human aus where Lake and Tulip have complicated relationships are so, so important to me.
However there's something about aus where Lake or Tulip literally hate each other that rubs me wrong. Like yes! It is complex! And they frustrate each other! And they can never agree and they antagonize each other!
But they should never be able to give a straight answer about how they feel.
Yes, they've always been compared to Tulip. Yes they've lived their whole life in her shadow. Yes it's always and Lake. But canon Lake knows everything about Tulip! They have such an intimate knowledge of her- and the scene where they talk about her in the family tree car? There's no malice there. It isn't Tulip's fault that Lake can't be themselves around her.
And Tulip has never known Lake's struggle. Has an immense guilt for something she had no control over. She can't fix it, undo what has already happened. She's done all she can to correct the bridge between them, even if it's still smoldering embers beneath their feet.
She so genuinely wants the best for Lake and has no idea what that could possibly be. She doesn't understand them, and she doesn't pretend to. Like a real sibling she just hopes they're okay. Wherever they are. Whoever they are.
I love found family, but these two are just family. They didn't actually choose each other, but there's some piece of them that will always know the other. That will never forget, even if they don't end up reaching out. If they never speak again.
I'm going to yank what little hair I have out at how sibling coded they are.
You know what I need guys? More 'Alejandro defends Heather' agenda. I need this guy going full angry mod, swearing in Spanish and insulting people for daring to even look at his Queen let alone trash talk her like have you seen Heather???? There's no more beautiful, cold, scheming, manipulative (all said with fondness and love) person in this world how DARE you breath the same air as her.
Literally the fight with his brother, but instead of Jose is literally everyone else because fuck society Heather is a Goddess
