If Terri does this I'll give her so many stan points she'll level up 10 times in a heartbeat.
Do you ever just think about the possibility of Millie’s character Libby being a relative of Jonah’s and Jonah already knowing ASL and—-
Terri will get several stan points from me if she makes this happen
Regarding plans for the storytelling and development of Cyrus'es possible endgames
I think people need to stop assuming that a storyline was or wasn't the original idea based purely on their personal preference and little else, because in doing so they are completely ignoring the complexities of story writing and development X what the TPTB allow you to do. In case you're wondering, I'm referring to the seemingly eternal struggle in the Andi Mack fandom between Jyrus stans that claim their ship was the original endgame X Tyrus stans that claim Jyruses are delusional and their ship was meant to be from the very beggining.
If you use this as something you believe is a "winning argument", and start and engage in flame wars over this, let me tell you something that you may haven't considered before: right now, there's a 50/50 chance for each side of the argument to be right. Why do I say that? Beacause we have no idea what Terri Minsky and the AM writers considered doing or not!
Maybe Jyrus was a possibility but they chose to abandon it for a different storyline; maybe they were forced to drop this idea by TPTB at Disney; maybe Jonah was truly never considered as a romantic partner for Cyrus and they really always meant to introduce someone else for him in the form of TJ; maybe at first a love interest wasn't even considered for Cyrus. We don't know!
Honestly, I believe Terri and the writers at the very least considered making Jyrus canon at some point in development. Maybe she considered and discarded this idea before the show even properly began production, maybe it went as far as to be discussed in the writers room and eventually dropped for some reason.
Regardless, saying that it never crossed either Terri or the writers minds sounds like a stretch to me. Even then, that's just my opinion, and even though to me that sounds like the most logical way things potentially went, I also only have a 50/50 chance of being right, just like anyone else when giving an opinion on this topic.
And in case you're from some reason thinking that I might have something against either ship, let me be very clear and say that I have no problem with Jyrus or Tyrus, I think neither is bad and/or toxic, I want Cyrus to be happy and I don't think Tyrus is The Cowards Choice (TCC) or bad in any way, shape or form regardless of whatever if it was or wasn't the idea from the very start. In fact, I believe that Tyrus is a beautiful storyline that's being well developed and is having a very important impact, and it will most likely have even more so as it continues to be developed.
My point with all this is that not to talk about what I ship or don't, or what you ship or don't, it's that we'll have no idea of what was their plan at least until someone that worked on the show and/or had very close contact with Terri Minsky and the writers steps up and talks openly about this, wich is highly unlikely to happen before the show's over.
So let's all stop using the "it was/wasn't the plan from the start!" card, because that one is void of value right now. And unless a reliable source presents itself and give us a definitive answer, that card will be never have any worth in an argument, other than showing where on the AM shipping spectrum you are and starting flame wars.
Me waiting for Andi Mack to return from hiatus in january:
