NO YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND OKAY MERTLE EDMONDS WAS THE BIGGEST BITCH IN THE WORLD. LILO WAS A SIX-YEAR OLD DEPRESSED ORPHAN AND MERTLE LITERALLY BULLIED HER AND NEVER HESITATED TO TELL HER THAT SHE WAS A FREAK AND WORTHLESS AND MADE LILO THE OUTCAST OF THE ENTIRE TOWN AND THEN SHE HAS THE AUDACITY TO BRING UP LILO’S MOTHER AND I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU SAY I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THIS GIRL. EVER.
CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH CHARACTER LILO HAS THOUGH THAT SHE STILL CONSIDERS THOSE AWFUL GIRLS HER FRIENDS IN THE MOVIE. (in the series she’s more like “hahah screw you mertle” tho which I love, it felt like they were showing that she is becoming emotionally healthier and normal and more self assured after some time)
