Not sure if you know this show, Trinkets. Brianna Hildebrand’s character, Elodie, likes girls and has love interests in S1 and 2 (just released on Netflix) S2’s love interest was pretty interesting and I hope you’ll be giffing it :) (Can’t find people talking about the show on this site and S2 was their last season)

I do know it! I just wasn’t suuuuper into the first season so I haven’t actually even given the second a chance yet. But you say the love interest is interesting? Hmm, all right, I’ll look into that. I found the first season’s f/f pretty off-putting, tbh, but I’m guessing it’s a new one this time. Hopefully I can find some stuff to gif!

So in searching for stuff to watch, I ended up binging Dollface. Looking through the tumblr tags for it afterwards, I saw you had made a few gifsets from it. But heh, yeah, I liked all the actresses even beyond the main 4 too and was also very disappointed in how incredibly straight the show ended up being. Like are you kidding me with the last ep and Madison’s realization in the desert and the two of them constantly getting disappointed by the men in their life, and just.. nothing?

Riiiight? Like, nothing at ALL? But especially Madison and Jules, setting up this great arc and then not going there? Whyyyyyy? 

They really still got it.. I mean if the trending is any indication… And their chemestry is still off the chart! I missed them!

Yep, they do! And it is! And saaame. I sometimes forget and then see something or the theme plays on random and I’m like, yeah. I think we’ll always associate them with the good times of January to March 2019 in particular and the experience’ll always be highlighted for that.

I got worried that they hadn’t saved this live, but phew, they did. I still haven’t watched it fully and only caught the tail end of it earlier, mostly which I didn’t understand anyway, of course, but what all did they talk about regarding the future projects, does anyone know? Did they talk about them at all?

Sorry of you’ve already discussed this but at the end when dana(?) is about to say The Thing do you think blair guessed what she was going to say? It seemed like she grabbed her hand and said no? I might be misremembering lol but it stuck out as i was watching it

I did briefly mention it earlier but yeah, she did seem to guess! I don’t know what it was about how Dana and Debbie looked over but she did seem to sense something life-wrecking was about to happen. Maybe she expected just something horrible, but that…oof.

in tbh april says craig wu said things about her she’d never told anyone. did craig wu throw out something about gay rights and shake april to her core?

Oh, I wonder. Not in a way that anybody else could have made that connection, right, I don’t think April was THAT discombobulated and nobody else even mentioned it. But it is an interesting that April made such a point of it to say he brought up secrets nobody else knew, you’d assume maybe he hinted at it. 

But still, I think that whole bit was mostly for comedic effect, and it would get pretty unfunny if he held outing her over her head. She’s never want Sterling to use her bombshell if it meant Craig could out her in return. I think she was just disturbed he knew so much and was paranoid that MAYBE he knew about her being gay and then decided he couldn’t and hence went ahead and gave Sterling the info.

I think this was a theory mentioned before about how sterling from TBH was an “Adele” in April’s life, because back when they were first getting partnered up for the debate, they were both joking around and we can see that April was kind of warming up to her but immediately put her guard back up. And then later in the ep it came out that April was still pretty hurt about sterling “giving her away” to another group.

Yeah, for sure, their dynamic seems so intense, and especially on April’s side, that definitely leans into the theory. But even if they HAD just been friends, how differently would April have acted, you know? I don’t know if I’d consider that confirmation of the theory or even if we’ll ever get it.

religious anon here! yes, I didn’t realize that as well after watching and rewatching it. It only sank in with me because I had an epiphany this morning lol. for me, I think why I didn’t realize it right away, is because of how comfortable they are in their own skin that I didn’t question it. that all this talk of sex is just another tuesday for them; it’s normal and it’s okay. sex is such a taboo in a conservative religion that a fresh take like this feels like a miracle, at least for me.

sorry i have so much thoughts haha and, like, even with their eventual coming out, whenever that happens, it doesn’t hang onto the idea that God might smite them and send them to hell. It’s just a very real fear of people judging them or shaming them or, as in April’s situation, her bigoted father. i mean… is there any other religious show where they tackle sexuality and sex in general but the religion isn’t in question? (½)

(2/2) I have lots of love for this show and i deeply regretted that i judged tbh before i watched it. oh and btw, i like The Fellowship. It’s both endearing and ominous. haha

Yeah, I think we didn’t make a big deal because they didn’t make a big deal. It really is so unusual, I’m trying to think of the religious LGBT stories I’ve seen and it’s actually not that many, since I avoid the unhappy ones and that’s most of them. For the non-Christian characters, there were Muslims like Rana on Corrie and Adena on TBT, with varying levels of devoutness, and they actually seemed to be okay with it, but in both cases the show just genuinely never even brought up how they navigated the intersection of religion and sexuality, it was just…a fait accompli. 😛 Sydney on Saving Hope was devoutly Jewish and man, it WAS a huge deal for her to work through, something it took a long time for her to come to terms with. I really liked her story, but that’s exactly what you meant, right, where religion was something to Process, although that’s also very important rep in its own right.

There are obviously way more stories with Christians but I cannot remember a single one of them now, lol, I feel like most of them were people with religious family who’d judge them, that was the angle, they themselves weren’t seen to really think of it much or need to reconcile things, like Rana and Adena. All this to say that yes, I’ve not seen it done like this, where a religious person was immediately like, yes, I’ve accepted myself and I think God has too. As you said, it’s powerful!

I’m kind of curious at what exactly you were prejudging it for, but at least you know better now. 😛 And lol, the Fellowship. The Tolkien connotations would have been too strong, but I still think we can do better than Stepril. :[
