#wlw representation

okay so the wilds got canceled for low viewership and negative responses, first kill got canceled for not holding viewership long enough and negative responses, paper girls again got canceled for low viewership, and warrior nun *checks notes* oh warrior nun had overwhelmingly positive responses but got canceled for not holding viewership long enough… weirdly tho these “low viewership” numbers are incredibly similar to many shows that did get renewed and did get largely promoted-namely heartstopper, young royals, elite— so i cant help but wonder if maybe maybe low viewership isnt the problem at all. and that maybe maybe the problem is the other thing that is shared by all of these shows, which is their main love story being wlw and their primary audience being sapphics. and that maybe maybe these shows were never meant to be renewed, as the disparity in promotional investment is obvious, because of that very reason. maybe that has something to do with it. fuck netflix and fuck streaming.

Why is it every professional promo picture I see of them looks like it could be a cover of a romance novel?

As much as I’m enjoying and celebrating all the new queer media we’re getting, I still can’t help but notice we’re lacking wlw pairings and queer women in the spotlight.

I know this is only the beginning, and in the future we will probably get more wlw representation, but at least for now the most part of new queer movies and shows seem to follow mlm couples and mlm romance. While it makes me (a bisexual woman) feel a bit more seen to see even somebody queer on tv, I’m hurting a bit.

Make tv shows about lesbians. Make movies about bisexual women. Produce media where the main character is asexual. We need to see more queer women as main characters living full happy lives as their queer selves.

Also, still salty about ALOTO only getting renewed for four more episodes.

if you haven’t seen a league of their own already it’s honestly one of the best queer shows I’ve ever seen. excellent sapphic rep everywhere and it’s not just a bunch of white queers!!! also watching this was the first time I’ve ever seen an older transmasc person on tv.

it did get canceled, like most sapphic tv shows (sobbing violently) but you should check it out anyways!!

edit: terf found this post and misgendered the CANONICALLY TRANS MAN CHARACTER in this edit 🙃 watch the fucking show bitch

nobody asked, so here's my take on Nina and Maggie's storyline.

in general, i can grumble about how I'd wish their personalities outside the budding relationship arc were handled better; yet I have to admit the ending's impressive. Neil wrote an entire wlw sideplot to showcase the problems of the main couple through their respective counterparts. it sits well with how Aziraphale and Crowley treat humans sometimes. there's a bonus of haha, gotcha, you fell for the character's façade that was meant to be dismantled by the viewer, in the way you automatically assume Nina equals Crowley and Maggie = Aziraphale. it's also fun to figure out why they are the opposite. maybe not enough to sustain the need for watching fully fleshed-out people on the screen, but still a bonus.

the thing is— you're ready to leave, a bit disappointed when Neil takes your head, turns it gently around and says "watch now". at the last possible minute, he invites the precious cardboard cutouts of our ineffable duo to sit on the couch — the special therapy lesbian friend couch — and he lets the toxic relationship survivor say, out loud, "actually, we didn't enjoy being the narrative mirror to your forbidden gay romance :/". you don't even get a second to wheeze what before the soft one chimes in with, "right, especially since it didn't work, because you still haven't confessed your feelings :// get loved idiot."

it doesn't fix the lack of substance, but I'm just saying. show me a TV show writer so self-aware his script choices aren't too fair to the L and B in the LGBTQ community, who decides to apologize by... making out sloppy style with the fourth wall??? i'll wait.

mlm representation is always like: two awkward teenage boys have an adorable romance in high school, the prince of england falls for the u.s. president’s son and they have to keep it secret, two pirates have a romance on the high seas

and wlw representation is always like: a girl’s soccer team becomes stranded in the middle of the wilderness and must turn to cannibalism to survive as betrayal and desperation takes over, two women become so obsessed with killing each other that it overtakes their entire lives, in the midst of a planetary war the victims of a broken codependent friendship are left fighting each other on opposite sides while they contend with the consequences of their actions and how much they matter to each other all while learning the hidden truth about magic colonialism.

if you ever think ur doing a bad job just know it cant be worse than the historians that read “I tore open your letter and licked the envelope's seal for any lingering trace of you” “my darling, so near I seem to you, that I disdain this pen, and wait for a warmer language.” “I hope for you so much, and feel so eager for you, feel that I cannot wait, feel that now I must have you—” “To own a Susan of my own Is of itself a Bliss -Whatever Realm I forfeit, Lord, Continue me in this!” “I need her - I must have her, Oh give her to me” “Now, farewell, Susie... I add a kiss, shyly, lest there is somebody there! Don't let them see, will you Susie?” “Show me Eternity, and I will show you Memory -Both in one package lain And lifted back again -Be Sue - while I am Emily - Be next - what you have ever been -Infinity.”, and thought emily dickinson’s relationship with sue was that of two very close friends— sisterly like.

This is the perfect day to say the biggest FUCK YOU for those fuckers who talk shit about Korrasami, people from inside the lgbt community

I guess it is easier to talk shit about Korrasami while they are enjoying all the goods that were made possible mostly because of how big of a deal Korrasami was in 2014. And I'm not talking shit about the other pioneers, is that just like Xena years ago, Korrasami was the one to do it first and help other to not only follow it's steps but also go for more.

If you have any doubts, go watch the reactions from 2014, it cures depression really show us how big of a deal Korrasami was/it's, people were witnessing history being made.

You know, I-I never saw my parents kiss or laugh or, you know, fight even. I never had a mom to like hug me after a heartbreak or just a dad to tell me that he was proud of me, and I just never had a family… to love me. And I really don't know that I'm gonna know how to love ours. That's all.

When Xena is out of commission for whatever reason, Gabrielle doesn’t just take the lead. She does everything she can to protect and defend Xena. Making sure she’s safe and secure while she doesn’t have the capacity or the strength to do it for herself.

The reason why this relationship is so beautiful is because it’s mutual. They’d do anything for each other. When one of them is left vulnerable, the other goes twice as fucking hard to be there for them.

I just adore their love. The intensity of it is so genuine. You can really feel it even when both aren’t physically together and they’re off on their individual adventures.

Belonging but not owning.

Home but not sheltered.

The faith and trust that they have in each other.

I’ve never seen a love like it - same-sex or otherwise.

Everyone around here:

Please watch Warrior Nun (season 2)!

After all the cancellations this is one of the few remaining series with all female lead and some wlw characters...

Binge it! I hate to say this, but Netflix is counting the completion rate in a short time period (28 days i think).
