find it really interesting how the "butchfemme relationships are heteronormative" crowd are never seen advocating for more butch4butch relationships in media, its only ever said in defense of fem4fem ships... you'd almost think they just have an issue with lesbian masculinity

So I was just talking to a friend about this:
We collectively could only come up with three.
Notice the THREE!
Three happy sapphic couples in media that actually are allowed to be together.
Isn't that sad? That there's only three?
That didn't have to...yah know...die or break up or be toxic or...bad rep?

@ people who watch sapphic shows
Paper Girls !!!!!
watch it watch it watch it
likeable multifaceted female protagonists
character growth
reluctant allies to found family
little butch 12 year old child with anger issues realising she's lovable
repressed jewish jock girl with anger issues coming to terms with her identity
chinese girl with eldest daughter syndrome learning to assert herself
black girl genius solving a mystery
has conversations about the problems of academia, importance of finding yourself, having fun instead of mindlessly pursuing goals
girls supporting girls
girls being girls: feral and funny
addresses racism, anti-semitism, classism, poverty, abuse etc. etc.
time travel
conversations with your future/past self with a twist
sapphic
but fyi the protagonists are literal children
Many sapphic shows have weird pacing/slow beginnings/kinda cringe writing etc. and that's totally okay. Not every piece of media has to be great and just to have(or to keep!) sapphic shows is such a struggle. But man I never had a moment were I struggled to keep watching which is otherwise often the case with me. It was just fucking good!

idk whats worse: getting renewed or "saved" without the original crew and asking their fans for free labor on redrawing the halo design (warrior nun) or exploit your viewers to spam watch season one within a time limit as a requirement for renewal only to get cancelled and give two more seasons to the mlm main show that it surpassed by thousands (first kill) (both netflix)

I’m so sick of wlw media with unhappy endings btw. Movies and shows where one of them dies or they end up breaking up or separated by outside forces. Let them be happy in the end for the love of god. Let me believe they lived their happy ever after together. I know, I KNOW Portrait of a Lady on Fire is iconic lesbian media, but that is one thing that frustrated the hell out of me and I can’t watch it again. Stop using lesbians for angst porn. I want more movies like But I’m a Cheerleader and D.E.B.S. Let lesbians have happy endings together 2024. Please.
