Scenarios for Tophia's Life?
I don’t know too much about how things work in New Mexico, or how to navigate the legal and medical systems for extreme situations, but here are my two cents on how Tophia’s life will go:
**Scenario A**: Marie gets placed in long-term care. Either in some kind of facility for the elderly or the homeless. I see this being a reality for a bit as Marie has a LONG journey ahead for her recovery. Tophia might be placed in a shelter for adults, but again, those places often require the adult to learn skills and get job experience, unless Tophia is too mentally incapable which she might be placed somewhere else for disabled people (If she is officially diagnosed). Ultimately, I think Tophia might remain sheltered indefinitely and visit her mom from time to time.
**Scenario B:** If Marie is fortunately functional again, she will sign off whatever help she needs to go back to living with Tophia on the streets. As Marie truly cares for Tophia I can see the two not wanting to split up. How will this work? I don’t know. And I hope it doesn’t come to this scenario as Donald truly was their protector. For a city like Alberquerque, two women alone on the streets might as well be another death sentence. I don’t know how Tophia or Marie will be able to survive, as they seem to lack street smarts and basic protection. Tophia might be able to sustain them for a bit, but ultimately this just seems like a horrible situation that I hope the state won’t let happen. Especially to Marie.
**Scenario C**: Tophia and Marie set their pride aside and live with Marie’s family. I could be wrong, but I am certain Marie has family. I don’t know too much about the Chu drama there, but I don’t see this happening. We don't know if any extended family has reached out about Donald's death. It doesn't seem like it as of now, so most likely they won't reach out if Scenario B plays out.
**Scenario D**: The best outcome but the HARDEST for Tophia. Marie stays in a facility while Tophia gets her life together. I’m talking job, license, credit score, resume, etc. Tophia accepts the resources available to her and drops the internet, at least for a while. She will likely need a lot of therapy and professional help, not only to heal from her brother’s death but also from years of poverty, neglect, and whatever else happened in her childhood. Tophia’s mindset stems from her environment, so it won’t be easy. It’ll take YEARS to deconstruct her backward way of thinking and immaturity. However; I do think even someone like Tophia is capable of turning over a new leaf. It won’t be easy, but ultimately I feel like Tophia will get a lot of support when she matures and accepts the responsibilities that come with adulthood. I think we can all tell this is the least possible outcome. As they say, you can only lead a horse to water.
Again, I could be wrong in some of these scenarios as I’m not too familiar with New Mexico Laws. For now, I think Scenario A seems plausible.

i pray scenario D happens even tho we all know big T will never get a job or become an adult even if it means helping her mother

It’s prob going to be B. I don’t think Marie will ever leave her to be by herself unfortunately. I wish in a scenario like this they could force them to separate due to Tophia not being capable of caring for her.

Keep in mind with Scenario A that Tophia will not be placed in any shelter/group home/adult residential situational against her will just because she’s a simpleton who can’t manage her finances and is chasing dreams of social media stardom over gainful employment. A lot of those facilities aren’t free to the resident and the ones that are state funded usually have limited openings and strict resident codes of conduct. I highly doubt she would agree to live under those rules, and she’s not any kind of danger to herself or others at this point to be court ordered somewhere. Hell, they keep releasing her father on his own “ recognizance”, and if they can’t hold that man who was actually criminally insane somewhere, I highly doubt Tophia being another bum on the street will be a priority.

we all wish scenario D could happen :(

Mamachu is not making it past 2025.

See and Tophia is living in a fantasy world where people adore her TikTok so much and feel bad because she’s a beautiful teenage appearing black disabled woman who is so special and talented…… they buy her a house and she gets a life of fame and fortune she’s always desired with an army of K-pop boys in her DM’s.

I have a scenario:
Marie will be placed somewhere for long term care, leaving Fupa to fend for herself. She’ll most likely bounce from place to place, never properly settling anywhere. This could be due to mishandled funds or her general lack of care for wherever she’s inhabiting.
I see her having a health scare due to her poor diet. She might suffer a mild heart attack because a diet of Mountain Dew and patty melts / pizza / McDonald’s is not healthy (duh). She’ll get diagnosed with a myriad of issues. She’ll come on live and yell at her supporters for her diagnosis. Why? Because they sent her money for door dash and all she can do for food is fast food cos she doesn’t have a proper kitchen to cook. She would have had a place to cook if people would’ve just left her alone and not caused her to get evicted.
Scenario D is a dream that will never happen. With the way things are right now, I HIGHLY doubt it.
