Oh, for sure, Bowser’s still their person. And I actually can see her telling him before her parents, given that he’s been their non-judgmental secret keeper through all this.
Have you read Devon’s interview and how she described April? I thought it was pretty spot on and loved how she answered the questions.
I loved itttttt. It was so good, so thoughtful! I loved all her answers, but two in particular, one about how the reveal about April’s sexuality wouldn’t suddenly make her a different (better) person, she was exactly who she was before, we just now knew she was gay.
And the other answer with all her little headcanons of their earlier interactions and April being the one to kind of wake up to something in Sterling throughout too! I actually really love that interpretation, that it wasn’t some longstanding crush forever OR just happened suddenly in the moment of the kiss, but was happening during the same time we saw Sterling start her journey of exploring her sexuality in ep 1. I love getting these kinds of BTS insights into characters, especially one as closed off and complex as April.
And even if these were things Devon discussed with Kathleen Jordan, the way she shows how she understood it is and is able to express it in an interview, pinpointing all these different moments, shows how much she’s made it her own.
hello. the new mulan was released today and seeing your gifset brings back childhood memories. i didn’t/don’t follow what’s happened with the actress who plays the new mulan but wasn’t there some controversy with her supporting china over hong kong protesters? (i saw your tags)
Yeah, there was, she posted support for the Hong Kong police while they were busy assaulting protesters.
I’ve seen different stances, “maybe she was forced to voice that support” vs “doesn’t seem like she was and it’s still her choice to listen” vs “even if you don’t want to support her, support for this shows a market for Asian movies”, it’s up to people to make whatever choice they think is right. For the record, it was available to pirate pretty quickly.
Why is no one talking about Bowser stoping everything to answer Blair’s calls.
Aww, I know! So sweet. It was super interesting in the scheme of things, the twins finally actually fighting and going to someone else for the first time and she chose Bowser! AND HE ANSWERED! In the middle of when he needed to be focused on the skip! And then when he was angry about it, at himself, he immediately answered again after when Sterling was kidnapped (without knowing she was) and did so much to help and comfort Blair. I feel like we’ll see a lot of them next season while the twins navigate everything.
The first 10min of TBH are so incredibly weird and funny and chaotic mess. I love it. Thank you.
Oh, lol, I went back to see what exactly 10 minutes covered and it was actually a lot, all the way to catching and recatching that first skip. The pacing of that first ep was frenetic. Glad you liked it, enjoy!
What’s your opinion about Luke?
Lol, after my recent track record of hating dim white guys, you’d think I wouldn’t care for him, but honestly, he’s a genuinely sweet dude who was already in over his head BEFORE his gf realized she was in love with a girl and is now stuck in a situation he has no knowledge or understanding of. I actually feel sorry for him (although not as much as for like, every other character, given what they went through).
The writers always center Sterling or even April in his scenes, so he just furthers their story, beyond providing comic relief. In fact, a lot of the first half of the show was setting up moments that would later be contrasted with Stepril, like how Sterling happily left him to help Blair but clearly did not leave April, to the point of actually hurting Blair. Or how she couldn’t even force herself to be sad after the breakup with Luke while with April…yeesh.
As long as this kind of character in female-led media serves the female characters, I’m fine, but when they get the development at the female characters’ expense? I don’t love that. And it’s not like Luke didn’t get any development, honestly, his scene with Sterling in the finale and especially during the breakup earlier were my favorite with him, not even when he was being dumb and funny but just heartfelt and genuine. So yeah, currently, I like him. Could change in s2 if they do what I said I don’t like up there, but I hope not!
as the goddess source of every wlw content/ship here on tumblr, have you watched Feel Good yet? honestly started it because of my attraction to mae martin ? but, episode 1 just got me hooked! mae and george already has some cute scenes too ?
Haha, what a title. That’s too much responsibility!
I have watched it! And yes, they do. But a lot of serious scenes too, I guess it was semi-autobiographical so it took from her real life, too.
