*Referring to Lady Helena Ravenclaw from J.K Rowling's Harry Potter*
This happens when someone (Often an offspring/friend/spouse/partner of someone famous) gets overshadowed by well... Someone famous (Like how Helena Ravenclaw was being constantly compared and overshadowed to her mother, Rowena Ravenclaw.). It results on the former being constantly compared to, bullied, underestimated or outright discriminated by clueless people based on the latter (The Famous Person), causing mental strain and low self-esteem.
To famous people who have ordinary children/friends/spouses/partners, please never give the Grey Lady effect to them. It sucks. Real bad.

Severus, son of a celebrity dad: I hate my dad. I love acting, but being constantly compared to my dad's achievements kills me.
Dyl: That's the Grey Lady effect for you.
Phyl: That sucks. Being a shadow to your dad.
Severus: I don't like it. I love my dad, but I hate the people treating me like shit because of his fame. I wish I can just be me.

Get the Grey Goomug. If you're seeing this, I hope I've helped your future self.
It's terrible. If you haven't watched it you've spared 4 billion brain cells being completely screwed over watching this. It's about a doctor who causes more children than birthing them FOR HER JOB, and is constantly fucking things up because she can't get over her boss (slept with him more than ). She blames herself on things because she's an intern, as if she's the "blame it on my zodiac sign" 14 yo girl at school. The scenarios are traumatically hilarious and ridiculous, like someone "accidently" leaving an undetonated bomb inside them (don't worry she fvcked that up too). I think after this episode I had a realization of the mental toll this was doing against me.
Anyways, the content is just shit and it just gets a little much at some point. what the hell

Get the Grey's Anatomymug. grey (as a name) is a very beautiful, kindy and loving human. most of the time it is a name given by the person themselves, wich means they are mostly uncomfortable with their name/pronouns, so use they/them on them. if you have a grey in your life, please do never hurt them, it can cause deep deep depression.
