I Love Lily
I would like to just sing some praises for Lily’s character. I think it’s incredible how Lily leads with kindness. She doesn’t judge or jump to conclusions when faced with villains. And she doesn’t do the cop-out thing that a lot of mainstream shows do these days, which is attempt to be empathic towards the villains, but only succeed at being mildly sympathetic. In mainstream it’s always an attempt. But with this show, and especially with Lily, she always comes out with an empathy that is so unexpected. The way in which she treats Silos at the end had me *literally* tearing up. Her kindness and her reaction to pain and suffering being gentleness is so genuine. It’s also so natural for her character. I love how it’s not a character development, it feels like this is how she always has been, or rather, how she was always meant to be; kind and gentle, and truly truly truly understanding. I also love how she brings that same softness and gentleness and kindness to her mother. My grandma had dementia and lived with my and my parents until her death a few years ago, and hearing that struggle with a loved one has me crying all the time. I wish I could have had this level of gentleness and kindness and understanding. The writing of Lily is so truly inspirational. I also just love so much the times when Lily is frustrated or does something out of fear. I love how she has a full spectrum of emotions. I think that’s what makes her gentle kindness proof of great writing. We know the character can be mad! And frustrated! And confused! And scared! And because we know she can have these intense emotions, it’s so incredible to hear that her reaction to the Big Fight with the Big Bad is to not fight, and instead be gentle. To ask what is wrong, and to listen. To just listen. Such good writing! Amazing writing!
