i hear what you’re saying anon, and b99 has a special place in my heart too, but i feel odd thinking of a b99 au in an age of police brutality, sorry :(
#anon#answered#separation of fiction and reality and etc i know#i enjoy b99 too and sorry to rain on your parade#but i can’t put myself in b99 au mode just because like..........everything has made me.....kinda feel :((( about b99#(that said: i think b99 is wonderful in how it features 2 latina ladies and has a leading black gay man and another black man in the cast)#(and there are genuinely funny parts of the show and! i do enjoy it!)#(but idk just......hm. events of 2020 kinda left me going ‘://///’ about watching any show that portrays cops as inherently well-meaning#folks. like. that’s a me thing personally.)#(i’m sure there’s other people who would love this au but i unfortunately can’t say much on it :///)#(yes i am sure there are non-racist cops out there and yes i’ve had to speak to cops as a part of some legal studies work)#(and they were friendly and understanding and also both men of color who were equally frustrated with the institution)#(but like. the police as an institution. again. that’s just. hm. i’m tired and don’t feel like discussing it rn)#(but like. just looking into the history of american police and also the way police systematically cover up the brutal murders of largely#black folks....hm. not a good look.)#i mean am i looking too much into this? it’s just fiction / fanfic!#(yes maybe true but i think i’m allowed to not want to engage in certain themes because real life has just made some things hard to enjoy)#tw cops#tw police brutality

hello! i just saw a post you reblogged about racism in femslash fandom. and i was wondering if you could give me some recommendation about tv shows with diverse lesbian chararcters??
Here’sthe post 
I’m presuming by diverse you mean non-White? Thepost lists several shows already, including Queen Sugar (which I’ve seen andhighly recommend), Rosewood, The Fosters and NoTomorrow.
Others I’d recommend include:
RevolutionaryGirl Utena: A weird anime about duelling and so much more. Almost everycharacter is LGB+ and since it’s an anime almost all are Japanese. The maincharacters are a Japanese woman and an Indian Hindu woman who become a couple.However, major warnings for abuse (including rape) and incest. They’revery much shown to be wrong within the show but are examined in graphic detail.Here is a very helpful warnings guide(contains spoilers).
The‘Other’ Love Story: A webseries about two Indian girls falling in love.There are twelve episodes which go for approximately ten minutes each, so youcan binge the entire thing in about two hours. It also has a happy ending!
BlackMirror: ‘San Junipero’: With the sci-fi show Black Mirror, every episode is aseparate story, so you can watch any episode without needing to have seen anyothers. San Junipero centres around an f/f couple including a biracial Black/Whitebisexual woman and a White lesbian.
BrooklynNine-Nine: Police comedy show. In season 5, main character RosaDiaz comes out as bisexual. She’s Latina and her actressStephanie Beatriz is also bisexual (Beatriz is of Bolivian and Colombian descent). Her love interest is played by Gina Rodriguez, who is Puerto Rican American and attracted to multiple genders. The main cast also includes an AshkenaziJewish man as the protagonist, a Cuban American woman as his love interest, andtwo Black men, one of whom is gay and married. However, I can understand anyonenot wanting to watch the show due to the police themes - it’s absolutely cop propaganda.
TheLegend of Korra: A fantasy cartoon and the sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender.All characters are Asian and/or Indigenous American. The protagonist is an Inuitbisexual woman and her love interest is a Japanese bisexual woman. Theirrelationship is made more explicit in the comic sequels, where the artist isIrene Koh, a Korean American bisexual woman. A couple of other characters havebeen revealed to be a bisexual woman and an unspecified WLW in the comics.
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power: Side characters Spinerella and Netossa are an f/f couple and Netossa is Black. It’s hoped that a few other characters, particularly the protagonist, will be canonically LGBTQ+ in future seasons. 
SailorMoon: The classic magical girl anime and again, since it’s an anime almost allcharacters are Japanese. Season 3 introduces two new main characters, Harukaand Michiru (Uranus and Neptune), who are a butch/femme lesbian couple.
How toGet Away With Murder: I’m unsure if I’d really recommend this one anymore sinceI loved the first season and the first half of the second season, but I feelthe show’s really gone downhill since then. However, the protagonist Annaliseis a bisexual Black American woman and a fascinating character.
Black Sails: Show about pirates in the 1700s. One of the main characters is a biracial Black/White lesbian. The main cast also includes a White lesbian (her love interest), a White bisexual woman (another potential love interest) and the main protagonist is a White gay man. I was spoiled on who dies and who ends up together, so I’ll just say that one out of five LGBT characters dies but the others end up in happy relationships. Message me if you’d prefer to be spoiled as the bury your gays can certainly be harmful to viewers.
Easy: ‘Vegan Cinderella’ and ‘Lady Cha Cha’: As with Black Mirror, each episode of Easy is a standalone. These two are about an f/f couple, one of whom is biracial Black American/White. She’s played by Kiersey Clemons who is a WLW.
Dimension 404: ‘Bob’: As with Black Mirror, each episode is a standalone. In the episode Bob, the main character is a Taiwanese American woman married to a Black American woman. They have a child together.
Black Lightning: DC show about a Black American superhero family, including a lesbian daughter whose love interest is a Chinese American bisexual woman.
Sidetrack: A webseries about eight WLW, including a Japanese American bisexual girl, a Black American nonbinary lesbian, an Indian American lesbian, an unspecified Latine lesbian and a Muslim lesbian of unspecified ethnicity as well as three White lesbians. It does end on a slight cliffhanger and unfortunately there’s no season 2 :/
Shadowhunters: Aline Penhallow is a biracial Chinese British/White lesbian but she’s only appeared in one episode so far.
Some I plan to watch include:
One Dayat a Time: Comedy show about a Cuban American family. The teenage daughter is alesbian and her love interest is a White nonbinary lesbian. However, this is US military propaganda in the same way that B99 is cop propaganda.
AmericanGods: Based on the book of the same name by Neil Gaiman about gods in themodern world. The protagonist is a Black man and the main cast includesBilquis, a Black bisexual woman.
Brujos:12 episode webseries about LGBT Latine witches. The main characters are fourgay guys but there’s also some WLW characters.
BrownGirls: Webseries about two female friends, a Black American girl and aPakistani American and Muslim WLW.
Dyke Central: Webseries about WLWOC.
Couple-ish:Webseries about LGBT romance and friendship. One main character is a Black WLW.
195Lewis: Webseries about a Black f/f couple, one lesbian and one bisexual.
TheNewtown Girls: Webseries about four WLW, one of whom is Asian Australian.
Leslieville:Another webseries, but I couldn’t find much info about this one.
TheSlope: Webseries about an Iranian American bisexual woman (played by DesireeAkhavan who is also an Iranian American bisexual woman) and a White lesbian.
Entangled With You: Webseries about an f/f couple who I thinkare both Black American.
That’s My DJ: Webseries where the main character is an AsianCanadian lesbian.
Retail Rejects: A webseries about being a retail employee,with no straight main characters. A few of the leads are Asian Canadian.
Pot Luck: New Zealand’s first WLW webseries, with three maincharacters, one Maori and one Samoan.
The Peculiar Kind: Webseries about WLWOC.
That’s What She Said: Webseries about Asian American WLW.
Strangers: Webseries where the main character is a biracial Chinese American/White bisexual woman, as is her actress Zoe Chao.
CardcaptorSakura: Another magical girl anime. Protagonist Sakura is Japanese and bisexual,her male love interest is Chinese and bisexual, her best friend is a Japaneselesbian with a lesbian mother, and her brother is gay and in a relationship. Warning for m/f pedophilia with some of the side characters though.
Other f/fanime on my to-watch list include Sweet Blue Flowers, Maria Watches Over Us, ToMy Dearest Brother, Bloom Into You and Whispered Words.
SeonamGirls High School Investigators is a Korean show about five girls solvingmysteries. One episode involves a lesbian couple and featured the first f/fkiss on Korean TV.
Vida: Two Mexican American sisters mourn the death of their mother, who was a WLW and married to a woman. One of the sisters is a WLW too.
Others (I don’t know a huge amount about these so Ican’t say how good the representation is):
The Bold Type: Contemporary drama about three female friends who work for a magazine. One of the trio is a biracial Black/White bisexual woman and her love interest is an Iranian American Muslim lesbian. However, read this on how good the Black representation is.
Degrassi:Apparently has some WLWOC characters but there’s so much info about the show Igot confused quickly.
DoctorWho: In Season 10 the Doctor’s companion is Bill Potts, a Black Britishlesbian.
The GoodWife: A main character is an Indian American bisexual woman.
Grey’sAnatomy: Callie Torres is a Mexican American bisexual woman, a recurringcharacter in Season 2 and a main character in Seasons 3-12. Her actress Sara Ramirez is also bisexual.
Lucifer:The main cast includes Mazikeen, a bisexual Black woman. In addition, the maincharacter is a White bisexual man.
Master ofNone: A main character is a Black American lesbian, played by Lena Waithe whois also a Black American lesbian. Obvious warning for Aziz Ansari though.
Person ofInterest: Main cast includes an Iranian American WLW.
She’sGotta Have It: The main character is a Black bisexual woman.
StillStar Crossed: Romeo and Juliet retelling, about Rosaline and Benvolio afterRomeo and Juliet’s deaths. Rosaline and various other characters are Black.Unfortunately the show was cancelled after one season of seven episodes, butone of the main characters, Isabella, an Iranian woman, was confirmed to be a lesbian by heractress andwould’ve had a love interest if the show hadn’t been cancelled.
From Dusk Till Dawn: Main character Kisa is a Mexican American bisexual woman.
I’ve left off shows which kill off WLWOC or are blatantly racist in other ways (Pretty Little Liars, Orange is the New Black, Sense8, The Catch, Riverdale, Glee, True Blood, Scream Queens, The Magicians, Empire, Scream, The Handmaid’s Tale, Gotham) though I may have missed some.
