Kat and Adena and Kate and Rana are both ships that were so good and then they did them So dirty

Yeah…my lgbt Muslim rep for a good chunk of time there…. :< 

Honestly, I feel a lot worse about Kana than Kadena. When I heard that, even in the first season, TBT hadn’t originally been intending a happy ending for Kadena, I was like, hmm, because that can say a lot about what the writers think of a story, obviously they could have changed their minds and pursued it and really committed, which is what I was looking for in s2, but that’s not what happened. Kadena fell apart because they just didn’t care about them, and that was easy to see, over how many seasons? My investment was slowly snuffed out. It was just never going to be better, it wasn’t the result of a mistake or even multiple mistakes, they just didn’t care about them.

Kana’s ending, on the other hand, was…timing. Timing and a misguided decision. If not for Bhavna wanting out, they could have gone another way, they were committed to them. They built them up so genuinely and yeah, there was that weird baby snafu near the end but it was so sudden. They didn’t end them out of apathy or hate, they THOUGHT they were doing something poignant and everlasting with it. Which I disagree with, of course, but I understand what they thought they were doing. I guess with distance it’s worth considering which approach was right, ending something slowly or quickly. I would prefer neither, lol. :/

like literally if lexa had even just like fucking died on the battlefield or something that would have been different

we would have been upset that we lost yet another lesbian character but you know what like Fuckign hell it would have been in her character and it would have been in the world and we would be like okay we still have Clarke at least she won’t die

But no

This is literally the worst fucking way you could have done this you just recreated by fucking rote the exact mechanics of the scene that solidified the dead lesbian trope and made an entire generation of queer girls forever nervous about any media that does so much as acknowledge us

But no

you had to kill her on the heels of a love scene you had to kill her with a lazy stray bullet meant for her lover you had to kill her in a way that literally says “this love got you killed” and i cant believe for a while there i really thought I could trust a show but they will never truly get where we are coming from when we say that you can’t operate like you’re writing in a vacuum
