Willing to be controversial but I think Riverdale has a better representation than Stranger Things and I am saying this as a dedicated Riverdale hater (and hate-watcher) since S2's that particular episode where Betty gave that weird *dance scene*. There is no way ST can beat Cheryl Blossom, Toni or CherylToni in any way.

on the lesbian front 100%...y a pas photo comme on dit

and of course very different genres there's less time to fuck around in st because they have an actual story to tell and because they're not a teen drama on the cw and yes robin's coming out scene is great i love it too but they really gave us nothing to work with with vickie it's actually insane. this summer when people on twitter were like um why are you shipping byler (a ship that will never happen) when there's OTHER Great queer representation on stranger things...babe. what stranger things are you talking about because it certainly isn't the one on netflix. vickie was on our screen for less than five minutes

for The Gays in general will and mike's character arcs are so well crafted that yk there's stuff you can dislike and criticize but it's still good writing in a good show vs (mostly?) good writing in a trashy show at the end of the day lol. i feel like if you're looking to watch a show for its gay content only riverdale might be better because there's less pain there😭

#even though there still is. some pain there.#plus they actually yk. get to kiss before the last season #this is so random thank you for this #also there's no supernatural stuff going on they're regular people...(kind of) it's a teen drama yk there's nothing to it but the character #and their relationships #and it's like will and mike ending up together is gonna be more rewarding than any riverdale relationship ending up together because the #writing is better overall like ykwim. the way i haven't mentioned kevin once. sorry #and they're obviously doing two very different things like even now they're in the 50s and they've encountered a little homophobia but #they're still doing fine mostly. like it took cheryl six episodes to accept the fact that she's a lesbian. in the 50s. it's a fun show!#i can't lie to you i don't talk about the real st storyline that much (not that byler is a fake storyline but ykwim the monsters and #everything) mostly because i have nothing to say but i don't know how people can watch the show solely for byler i don't know how #they do it. in the tags of that post about when and why we started watching st someone said that they haven't seen everything and that #they got attached to byler before starting the show and that it's been months and that they still have yet to see a bunch of episodes #that's just crazy to me. but i never start a show for a ship if you tell me there's lesbians and the plot looks fine maybe i'll watch when #i wouldn't necessarily have watched it without the lesbians? but it has to like. be good. good enough for me to actually watch the show #before being in the fandom anyway? and i just never watch something for a ship i don't know how people do it if i end up liking a ship #it's a bonus but it can't be my reason for starting something #this has nothing to do with riverdale but now you know something about me #rvd #ask
