it’s interesting how eleanor shellstrop acts like she’s lazy when she’s actually incredibly hard working. instead of just running away, she got herself legally emancipated from her neglectful parents and worked to afford her own apartment, (as well as presumably school tuition and healthcare). she was the top salesperson at her job for multiple years. the tech startup she was a temp for wanted to hire her full-time and thought she would make a great member of the team. she threw herself into learning ethics and moral philosophy, reading incredibly difficult books multiple times in order to understand it. when she threw a party for the neighborhood residents, even tahani, who threw huge parties as a living, thought eleanor did a good job.

eleanor puts on a big show about not caring about anything, but in reality she cares so much.

“I dont care,” Elenaor Shellstrop said, while caring deeply, and hugging all her hard won friends and chosen family.
