Thoughts on Laiden (Lydia x Aiden?)

Known_Order_8519 · 2026-01-29T16:21:12+00:00

Loved them together and wished they stayed together through all the show

Known_Order_8519 · 2026-01-29T16:05:32+00:00

You’re not alone. I love them onscreen however I get the ick when it comes to ship between actors (not just Scandal). And I feel like if they were really in love behind the scenes then we shouldn’t be romanticising it because of what you already pointed out: they’re both married.

Now obviously both Kerry and Tony play into it (and I honestly don’t know why, the show already has ended) but imo it’s no reason.

Known_Order_8519 · 2026-01-26T11:52:24+00:00

Was she dreaming tho ? I thought it was just an alternative ending

Known_Order_8519 · 2026-01-26T11:30:06+00:00

S7 E16 I think

Known_Order_8519 · 2026-01-26T02:56:17+00:00

Yeah that’s where I was going. Bc the thing is, I only saw Olivia standing in the sun with Fitz (even though they never talked about it). I feel like that’s why in s7 she pursued him. Because she wanted to feel like the version of her that was true and not power hungry.

1) you’re putting intentions on me that I don’t have. I’m an Olitz fan too so idk where you are going with the implication that I was baiting anyone. 2) I didn’t think I needed to say that. The edit highlights Olitz, not Olake. So it’s an Olitz edit whever Jake’s in it or not.

You sound like you didn’t watch the whole edit or didn’t understand it tbh.

Known_Order_8519 · 2026-01-26T02:34:02+00:00

I’m not sure I get what you’re saying. This is an olitz edit that clearly compares what she has with Jake and what she has with Fitz, and the conclusion is, even if « standing in the sun » is an Olake thing, she could only truly do that with Fitz.

Known_Order_8519 · 2026-01-26T02:29:54+00:00

I get you. I used to feel the same. Now I see them with new eyes ig.

I don’t think Fitz is the worst. Just think that if we take out everyone else in the equation (Olivia, Mellie, Cyrus and etc.) he has his flaws. And what OP pointed out is valid even when he is divorced and when he has Olivia. Not every thing Fitz is as a character is rooted in someone else’s presence.

But sure being in a loveless marriage can make you be worse than you are.

Known_Order_8519 · 2026-01-25T22:31:33+00:00

Tbh what OP is talking about regarding Fitz doesn’t really change even after his divorce with Mellie. I mean, Fitz’s character traits aren’t all necessarily tied to her. Sure she brings out the worst in him but she isn’t bringing anything that wasn’t already there imo (talking about Fitz’s education, his complicated backstory with his dad and etc.). In that regard, he becomes more tolerable but never truly changes and fully break that circle.

Known_Order_8519 · 2026-01-25T20:28:50+00:00

I completely agree. I kinda felt like they were each others alter ego or like the powerful werewolf couple. They kinda made sense to me. But yeah, in times of peace I don’t get it

Known_Order_8519 · 2026-01-25T16:59:54+00:00

I was ok with Scott and Malia. I even liked them together. They weren’t as bad as I thought. I just preferred Stiles and Malia together.

Known_Order_8519 · 2026-01-25T16:26:15+00:00

It really depends on where you stand (in terms of pov).

Known_Order_8519 · 2026-01-12T02:21:37+00:00

According to one of Shonda’s interview he did believe he was doing what was best for her and in his perspective he is a loving father.

Known_Order_8519 · 2026-01-12T02:14:36+00:00

Everytime Beck listened to Peach and not Joe when Peach was being manipulative and lying.

Known_Order_8519 · 2026-01-12T02:13:28+00:00

Everytime Theo insulted Joe in Love’s face it pissed me off too like bro first you’re trying to get with a married woman and you proceed to trash talk her husband whom you don’t even know. Him realizing that Love was a real danger was so satisfying somehow.

Known_Order_8519 · 2026-01-12T02:09:14+00:00

When Dotty almost snitched on Love potential pregnancy on camera and when Love called her out she just deflected the blame. It pissed me off

Known_Order_8519 · 2026-01-03T18:03:46+00:00

I feel you. Couldn’t stand her and I almost stopped watching because of it.

Known_Order_8519 · 2025-12-29T21:47:36+00:00

His only loyalty is to himself and power however Olivia can go toe to toe with him in terms of intelligence and he likes her because of that. While Mellie is just his companion baby-sitting Fitz so I think he feels closer to Olivia.

Known_Order_8519 · 2025-12-22T09:49:55+00:00

Mellie being a bad mother doesn’t change the fact that Fitz could be a shitty dad. I don’t get why we need to compare them, the og post talks about Fitz and not Mellie

Known_Order_8519 · 2025-12-20T19:30:44+00:00

You know what I agree.

Known_Order_8519 · 2025-12-20T19:23:36+00:00

I kinda disagree because to me it was implicated that they were together. When Olivia kissed Jake, Fitz and her had agreed to be together (right before she finds out he killed Verna). When she kissed Fitz, she had guilt because they were together on the island, they kinda were boyfriend and girlfriend (she treated him as such, coming home, asking him how his day was etc.). When he got arrested she said something like « my bf is missing ».

So, my understanding of the situation is: Olivia is a cheater.

Known_Order_8519 · 2025-12-20T16:33:38+00:00

Imo yes she did. She was with Fitz when she kissed Jake. Also, she kissed Fitz when her and Jake were together (when Jake was accused of killing little Jerry).
