god i wish i had the talent and self-discipline to actually write the fic that’s been pinging around in my head for like 8 months about mercedes meeting autumn 
#og#i dont have the talent to pull it off but if i did it would be so FUCKING good#i just think they'd have a lot to talk abt and i want them to meet rly bad#just like... thematically#the idea of two people who unknowingly married into a family curse#the fucking situation of knowing your lover and children carry this awful potentially world-ending power within them#and the different way they've dealt and are dealing with that#like u know mercedes has been dragged to a shitbillion parent-teacher conferences#where grown adults basically say to her face that her kids are horrific little monsters#that their behavioural issues may pose a threat to other children#but u also know that mercedes knows her two beautiful boys and trusts them not to do that#whereas (in my headcanon at least) autumn does not have that same trust with her own son#partially bc he's been lost to her so long she has no idea what he's even like as a person#all the work he's put in to being a genuinely kind and compassion person even as he had to rebuild his entire fkn life from the ground up#but also bc i think even before he disappeared she didn't bother to get to know him bc she projected too much of barry onto him#which is obviously completely unfair to henry but is def something that could realistically happen as a product of years of emotional abuse#anyway this is all just a v roundabout way of saying i fucking NEED mercedes and autumn to interact and have SO MANY THOUGHTS ABT IT#but im LAZY and CANT FUCKING WRITE so like fkn#guessilldie.jpg#man im just never not emotional abt the oak clan folks#if we ever meet grandpa elf and get HIS side of the story and learn abt hildy and what she was like post-amod i'll probs explode#cuz u know that shit would add aNOTHER FUCKING LAYER to this trauma lasagna which is all i fucking need
