at what point are the writers for the twenty shows that killed off lgbt women this past season going to look around and notice the other nineteen shows who killed off lgbt women this season and realize their clever plot twist wasn’t so clever
“Well we had always planned for her to die, it was the logical end of her character arc–”
Maybe think real hard about why the “logical” end of every lgbt woman’s character arc mysteriously happens to be death. Maybe think about why you don’t write lgbt women and black women with the intent that they will live.
“Well, lots of characters die on this show, we’re not singling them out.”
Yes, except for the members of your invincible core cast who are, mysteriously, straight and cis and white and who are, mysteriously, always exempt even when you’re trying to show us that “anyone can die.”
“But it was well-written!”
If you had done anything else so tropey and predictable that like nineteen other shows did the same thing in the same season, would you really be saying it was great writing?

the lesbian and gay big apple corps marching band and color guard performs walk the moon’s “shut up and dance” after the orlando vigil at the stonewall inn in nyc. the band had been playing more emotional pieces, but eager to find a moment of joy with their community after the incredible pain and sadness of the last two days, the crowd had demanded an encore performance.
This is in the spirit of what I’m looking for. If you know where the spiritual equivalent is happening the DC area, please let me know.
it’s not the same as an orlando event, but dc has a wonderful lgbt band as well, dc’s different drummers! according to their calendar they’ll be playing in the palisades 4th of july parade and at baltimore pride on july 23rd
they’re also playing at night out at the nationals tonight starting like, right now if you’re feeling spontaneous and wanna spend $20 and also see a baseball game

*runs in three months late with Starbucks and a harried expression* WAIT NO I WANT A GIANT RANT ABOUT JOHN WATSON'S LITTLE SHIT NESS
he is so a little shit but i’m afraid i have no energy for it, sorry. it’s sort of like if half the people in this show were in my immediate life, i would’ve stopped engaging with them years ago for my own mental health. so i’m trying to apply that same logic here.
it’s been a blast, but it’s not actually gonna be good for me to rewatch the whole series just to rehash a bunch of stuff i’ve already said about john in a more cohesive text. like, if you can’t see he’s a little shit man based on the show itself then you’re not gonna read my thing anyway so whatever. all the best.

I heard it’s femslash february, so some femlock was in order
being in a toxic fandom like
whenever “strong female characters” insult men by calling them girls my eyes roll so far back in my head i can see my brain cells die
take me laser tagging and then push me into a corner and kiss me. then shoot me and walk away.
IMAGINE THE OTP
why do people find it so hard to assume that Jim didn’t include Molly in the Reichenbach targets because he actually liked her tho?
