Maybe I'm just really tired by everything tonight but Lex's dead-end life is so important to me. No high school diploma but instead a criminal record before she turns twenty, a shitty minimum wage job with no health insurance that is just enough of a sinkhole to keep her from escaping, and a broke-ass apartment that's barely an improvement over her mother's broke-ass trailer. Her existence feels painfully small, limited, and doomed, and any parts that aren't are all about Hannah, not Lex herself. It's like, the whole world insists that Lex go nowhere fast.

And yet she is the only one we know of to twice get the better of a Lord in Black.

It's like... all of your power, all that potential and skill and gift, cannot alone save you from the giant circumstances of your life. And yet you still have it somewhere inside. And in the end it will have meant something.
