Ok so ik there are many people that don‘t really like Helena (including me lol) but I think the reason isn‘t just the crying and all I think it‘s more
So let me compare here to Psyche from "Your Throne"/"I want to be you just for a day" because they are in a bit similar situations and Eris is a bad bitch just like Medea (I LOVE THEM BOTH SM)
The thing with Psyche was that I didnt really like her at the beginning but now I really like her and I think there is a major reason as to why (Ik there are still many people that don‘t like Psyche but I dont think its to the extent as it is with Helena): Psyche tried to grow! Yeah first she was just oh so lovey dovey with the crown prince and didnt think for herself but later she tried to grow, think for herself and stopped just relying on crying and thats why I came to like her more..Yeah she still is not as independent as Medea for example but she‘s been through her own stuff and at least she tried to change and not just naively be like "whoops sorry ig :/ but anyway I‘m gonna continue with my useless shitty behavior and just cry when I do something wrong"
Idek if somebody here had read Your Throne but I think if you did you‘ll maybe at least kindaaa understand what I was trying to say??
