The irony that the whole series was written by siblings is so funny to me

like yeah hatchetfield is full of star crossed lovers etc etc but let’s talk about how it’s also full of DOOMED SIBLINGS. jane has to die for any number of timelines to exist, and losing her is the direct cause for emma’s role in any number of stories (not to mention everyone else who was affected…); after feeling like her diametric opposite for so long the only thing emma can do is settle in their hometown to find some kind of meaning in all of it. lex is the reason hannah is alive, but what does that mean if hannah’s birth is the event that split the timelines? if all lex wants is to provide for and protect her sister, but events spin beyond their control and make their situation all the worse? hannah can see beyond their world, she knows the end so to speak, but what can she do? how can she protect lex when she barely understands it herself? ted and pete care about each other, but their respective ages and ted’s curse mean their paths cross for too short a time to really appreciate each other, ted being ready to strike out on his own when pete is born, and being gone by the time pete is, with them never having the crucial moments you get when you go through things together. they, at the risk of sounding unbearably on the nose, didn’t have the time. and that’s not even getting into whatever happened with webby and the lords in black; whatever betrayal or split happened to have her working against all five of them, the brothers spreading discord and destruction while she stands alone protecting the world… it’s all so deeply, cosmically tragic
