I’ve done rants on this over and over so this one’s a little shorter. As a community it hurts, and I’m sending a hug to anyone that needs it.

Shelter on Amazon prime has well written characters and an interesting story. There's a black latino guy that is THE main character, a black girl as a protagonist, a lesbian girl as a protagonist, a lovely dorky but genius guy that you are going to love a lot... there are lots of wlws involved, there is a non binary black character that's important to the plot, A LOT of plot twists, it deals with really heavy topics like abuse on children but it's also funny at times so it's not all heavy and the kids are written like actual real people and not just gen Z caricatures... beautiful relationships between the characters, beautiful scenes of platonic friendship and mutual support, lots of action and drama but in a good way, there are queer relationships actually happening on screen that are the main focus!! It has literally everything you could ever want and it's actually pretty damn good!!! GO WATCH IT NOW PLEASE 🥺

how to make whatever you’re writing or drawing better:

- add lesbians

you’re welcome!

the criticism that heartstopper is “cringe” and how people want more “mature” representation is strange cuz those kids are 15 on the show having their first big feelings, and pretending like us queer people haven’t longed for that kind of community or love at that age is silly

even this kind of representation was a long shot and now its exists in all its fluffy glory and idk younger queer kids deserve to see the so called “cringe” rep as long as it shows them other teenagers happy and openly queer

tiktok is a cesspool of sheer misery lmao go froth over euphoria or cmbyn or some shit if hate the show so much

i feel so sorry for people that believe the story ends when the show ends “the girls from the wilds are forever stuck on the island with the boys” “greta and carson from a league of their own will never see each other again” use you imagination, create some headcanons, let yourself daydream, read a fic, read 100 fics, DO SOMETHING

Can someone explain why LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE WLW show gets cancelled, even when it's very well received and very popular? I'm so tired.

And if it's not cancelled, it's either just queerbaiting or bury your gays. I'm so fucking tired

Almost 800K tweets with #SaveWarriorNun yall, keep it going!

might be a hot take but god it pisses me off so much that every wlw show ive watched thats been canceled had an INCREDIBLE plot aside from the romance. like time travel or uncontrollable telekinesis or a fucked up social experiment of a staged plane crash. all very interesting stories and the wlw romance is a bonus and they still get canceled.

but literally nothing else has to happen for a mlm show to break records. nothing happens in shows like heartstopper. its JUST a high school romance. yes theres some wlw and i know people will argue that the focus on just high school is why they like it but it pisses me off how well they do compared to incredibly elaborate and brilliant stories that also have wlw romance. and they do well ENTIRELY bc its mlm.

and its because straight people (specifically straight girls) love mlm stories so shows like heartstopper get the straight audience AND the gay audience but no straight people care about wlw fiction like that. so every wlw show gets a smaller audience because its just a gay audience watching, and it leads to it being canceled every fucking time.

Not to be all conspiratorial, but the timing of the First Kill cancelation, both days after The Wilds cancelation, and the same day as the Batgirl movie being shelved feels very inch resting. Gotta distract and split the larger wlw fan base into smaller factions so any 'save our show' campaigns loose steam.

*casually reappears on this platform after years*

Im not even gonna bother getting interested in shows anymore it’s like what’s the point they always get cancelled in the end especially shows that are female led and have wlw representation, I’m tired of this now 😒

So I finally watched Sense8. I regret not watching it sooner for a couple reasons. But I'm so glad I finally watched it.

this is an honest question, and i’m not trying to be a bitch, but why do i always see byler described as “groundbreaking”? because with gay rep the way it is now, it just isn’t?
