the way teenage bounty hunters DESERVED a second season. like what a tightly written, quippy, funny little show with so much heart. there’s so much good going on in it but things I particularly love:
Twin themes!! There’s so much good foreshadowing surrounding the big reveal (iykyk) and there’s also so much DOUBLING. Double lives especially is a big theme. Like, Debbie hiding Dana; sterling and Blair hiding their bounty hunting; the (functional) froyo shop being bowser’s bounty hunting lair; Terrance the lone wolf bounty hunter and bowser with his little “teen white savior” teammates; Yolanda’s sister who is a perfect foil for her; miles hiding Blair from his family; sterling hiding april from Blair…and then april hiding sterling period.
And I guess the doubling is kind of showing like, here are all the possibilities and here’s what happens when we let love in and here’s what happens when we shut it out
so much good stuff about being from the American south. As someone who grew up in the south and who grew up visiting close family in Atlanta…it is cool as fuck the way the south is portrayed in all of its complexity. The show does not shy away from issues of race, religion, SES, etc SPECFICALLY in Atlanta and manages to do it in a way that doesn’t come across as heavy handed. This show could ONLY be set in the south—it would be a fundamentally different show in any other setting
Also, like I said with the doubling points above, this show is full of secrets and secret keeping!!! But yet a fundamental point of the show is that being silenced is one of the worst things that can happen to a human being. There’s a scene where Blair is telling sterling that her dad yelled at her and that the worst part of all is that he told her to Be Quiet! And like in some ways that scene highlights what a loving household Blair has grown up in that the one of the worst things her Dad has ever said to her is be quiet (not even shut up)…but it really made me be like wow being told to stop questioning and be quiet IS something terrible. It’s a denial and a violation of our right to use our voices
and like it’s not a coincidence that in the final ep Dana gags sterling. Because the way sterling is talking to her is powerful and you can tell it is making her hesitate and question her whole life
so yeah anyway watch teenage bounty hunters! Or if you haven’t in a while, it’s definitely worth a rewatch

I wrote a Teenage Bounty Hunters fic (finally!) It’s a continuation to fix the cliffhanger Netflix left us with that ripped my heart out.
Rated T and will be 7.6K of words total. First chapter is up and I’ve divided it into three chapters. They’re all drafted so I’ll get the rest up over the coming two weeks.

Sterling: I'm kind of crushing on someone, but I'm worried about telling you who it is, because you're not going to like it.
Blair: Just rip the bandaid off.
Sterling: It's April.
Blair: Put the bandaid back on.

Hello everyone!
Teenage Bounty Hunters is one of those series whose cancellation has hurt me a lot, it has a lot of potential that Netflix threw to the brink😓 but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's enjoyable every time it's revisited. And obviously the most important thing. The relationship between Sterling and April (ohhh Lord).
So I took a couple of weeks to make a fanvid, starting with finding the right song to give it that freshness (and it took a while to find it), I have to admit I enjoyed editing it a lot.
The SW-style transitions are in honour of our lesbian warsie :3 😏😏
Without further ado, enjoy it as much as I do and…
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻Teenage Bounty Hunters and STEPRIL 4EVER!!!!!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
👇👇👇👇👇I am grateful to find this version of the song:
