i love sitcoms, even the "bad" ones, even the ones that get worse as it goes on, i just love them. i love all of the long running jokes, the slow burn romances, the impossible situations, the meaningless drama, i love having something comforting to watch. they make me so happy.

I love Much Ado About Nothing for many reasons, the main one being that my friends would definitely come up with an elaborate scheme to get me a partner despite me being resistant to it.
Although I fear it may be more ominous in real life than it was in the play.
Speaking of which, PLEASE watch the adaptation with Catherine Tate and David Tennant as Beatrice and Benedick, it's hilarious.

Publishers’ Binding Thursday
For this week’s Publishers’ Binding Thursday post we’ve got more Shakespeare! This is As You Like It: A Pleasant Comedy by William Shakespeare. This edition was published in 1900 by Dodd, Mead, & Company in New York and is “newly embellished with sundry decorations by Will H. Low.” 
Will Hicok Low (1853-1932) was an artist, muralist, and writer. He also did decorative murals and design work, providing large-scale work for places like New York’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel and the rotunda of the New York State Education Building. 
The binding is a green bookcloth with a gold stamped sweeping floral design. There is a flowery bit at the middle of the cover stamped in white and outlined in gold. The title is stamped in gold.

Queer comedy shows
I saw plenty of "there is no shows with lgbtq+ protagonists, if there are, they are dramas with no comedy and someone dies". Let's make a list with fresh shows that fills this demand. 
 - comedies 
- not for/about teens 
- full force lgbtq+ representation 
- zero queer deaths 
- good ratings
"This is going to hurt", 2022- (?)
Tumblr media
imdb 8.5 
comedy, drama, no queer deaths, explicit sex scenes, bitterness 4/5 
warning: blood, medical, not for pregnant or recent mums 
"Set on labour ward with all its hilarity and heart-lifting highs but also its gut-wrenching lows, the show delivers a brutally honest depiction of life as a junior doctor on the wards, and the toll the job can take back home." 
The protagonist is gay with morally grey personality, the most of the show is about his struggles with demanding job and falling personal life.
“Gentleman Jack”, 2019-ongoing now 
Tumblr media
imdb 8.2 
period drama, comedy, biography, gnc lesbian protagonist, no queer deaths, mature sex scenes, bitterness 3/5  
"A dramatization of the life of LGBTQ+ trailblazer, voracious learner, and cryptic diarist Anne Lister."
Anne Lister is morally grey, 40+ yo gender non conforming (to the point that your trans friends will find something close to heart) woman, searching for rich life partner. The show is about her struggles with need for adventures, duty of landowner and forbidden romances.
"A very English scandal", 2018 
Tumblr media
imdb 7.7 however: Emmy, Bafta, Golden Globes, 24 more awards 
comedy, crime, biography, no queer deaths, explicit sex scenes, bitterness 3/5
"British Liberal Party leader Jeremy Thorpe is accused of conspiracy to murder his gay ex-lover and forced to stand trial in 1979." 
Sounds boring, but Hugh Grant and Ben Whishaw makes this political drama an entertaining story full of hilarious scenes. Both characters are morally grey and it's impossible to hate them as they probably deserve.
"Good omens", 2019-2023 
Tumblr media
imdb 8.0 (+Bafta, Hugo, 3 other awards) 
comedy, fantasy, no queer deaths, no queer sex scenes (only dating), bitterness 1/5  
"In the beginning and eleven years ago, two immortal beings decide that it might not be time to start an Apocalypse." 
The main couple of angel and demon, who you can consider protagonists of the show and whose relationship is one of the plot moving tool, has no scenes with intimacy shown, but profoundly queer and humorous.
"Our flag means death", 2022- (?)
Tumblr media
imdb 8.0 
Comedy, action, adventure, no queer deaths, censored sex scenes, bitterness 2/5  
"The year is 1717. Wealthy landowner Stede Bonnet has a midlife crisis and decides to blow up his cushy life to become a pirate. It does not go well. Based on a true story."
This show is the reason why I started this thread. It is a romantic comedy of protagonist starting a new life he truly wanted, and of course finding the man of his dream. There are three queer couple including trans, big focus of the plot is on toxic masculinity reformation.
