This season of Blindspot has seen the suicide of a QWoC, later revealed to be faked though no less traumatizing to her partner, Bethany Mayfair, the death of Mayfair’s new love interest, another QWoC, killed to send a message to Mayfair, and then in the season finale, the death of Mayfair herself.

The Blindspot showrunner knew all about the trope and the hurt it was causing and still decided that was the way to go. Because killing another Black lesbian was so integral to the plot they just couldn’t not do it.

Bethany Mayfair deserved better.

i’ve found it easier to review more often now that i write rec posts more – it’s easier to explain to Tumblr why a fic is good and then i take what i said and rephrase it for the author and make that my review

Yeah, I try to follow that usually but in the fics I’ve been putting off, I really wanted to go into detail about a lot of specific lines I loved and choices they made. It’s harder to do that than making more general posts praising what you liked and hope others will.

DON’T STRESS!! The fanfic world is in DIRE need of more reccers! Heck, just making a post about a fic you liked is enough!

Actually, although I’d meant leaving comments on fics in this post, I have been meaning to borrow from @ghostcat3000‘s cool idea of posting her favorite yuletide recs, except a f/f version. But like…I’ve been planning that since late December, so we can see how that’s going. I didn’t even stick to my No Gifsets Till All Fics are Reviewed rule…I decided to do one gifset per review. 😛 (But I couldn’t not gif Kylie Bunbury’s face, I’m not made of steel.)

I think we have more f/f deaths on TV than we’ve had weeks in 2016 so far. 🙁

This was one I’d been hoping wouldn’t be SUCH a cluster.

God. I can’t believe it. A few weeks ago, of the f/f pairs I’d been…somewhat happy about, three have their WoC dead, and one had the lesbian marry a dude due to pressure, a journey supposed to continue into the next season except the show was cancelled.
