Different show, same story.

It's an endless cycle.

Maybe you didn't like First Kill for a shit-ton of reasons, but for that same shit-ton of reasons it meant everything to other people.

There was no coming out story served with a side dish of homophobia.

Nobody batted an eye for the same sex relationships, it was perfectly normal.

One of the lead characters was a black lesbian.

Cast, crew, and fans deserve better.

For the nth time, let's raise hell.

Burns family and the rest of the Guild: Welcome to the Fuck Vampires Club, where we say fuck you to vampires!

Calliope (and let's be honest, Talia too), standing up: Yeah, sorry, I think we had a misunderstanding.

this is valid but quick reminder netflix DOESN’T own riverdale and in riverdales 2nd season it was signed to a 7 season contract

“first kill was dropped bc it was bad” yet riverdale, 13 reasons why, those gross 365 days movies all got multiple instalments even though they’re fucking awful.

netflix are a lesbphobic, racist company that too often churns out absolute shit and drops anything that actually has potential.

first kill wasn’t some kind of cinematic masterpiece but it was very fun and very far from the worst thing to come out of netflix. shut up.

TERFS DNI. I DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR VIEW ON THIS THANKS.

Fuck Netflix and fuck everyone who fought against this show.

First Kill was set up to fail right out of the gates.

It was a diverse show streamed on a platform that is proudly anti-diversity, it got zero promotion or advertisement from said platform, it had fans who were sabotaging viewership before the show had even aired, and it was released at the same time as big shows with pre-existing bases like Stranger Things and Umbrella Academy.

And somehow, despite all that, First Kill outsold. It swept the competition of their feet. It got more buzz than anyone could've anticipated.

Which is exactly what makes Netflix so fucking stupid for trying to cite numbers as the reason for the abrupt cancellation. Especially when the numbers are public, have been public since the series' debut, and have been praised the entire time.

And it's scary that they're getting so comfortable with lying when the actual numbers are right in front of our faces. They're not announcing these cancellations with "heavy hearts" anymore. They've dropped the act of caring, and it's become more obvious than ever that it's because they don't think they even have to pretend to care about diversity anymore.

And they're right. The film industry has once again become a climate where they feeling comfortable exposing their bigotry to everyone, knowing there's nothing anyone can do and that they can just keep doing it.

We've seen the pattern. Batwoman, Legends, Legacies, Motherland: Fort Salem, The Wilds, now First Kill. I know there's many I've missed in that list. That's the worst part. Networks are not even disguising their intentions anymore.

First Kill's not the first and it won't be the last, but I really fucking hope it can be the loudest.

can’t bury your gays if you just bury the whole show!! 😊

[calliopewannabe]

not to be a hater (but yeah to be a hater) shocker that the show with the black lesbian lead is cancelled and... The Other One gets renewed for two seasons

[calliopewannabe]

so if we’re keeping score of shows in the last few years:

teenage bounty hunter: canceled

trinkets: canceled

dollface: canceled

betty: canceled

batwoman: canceled

legends of tomorrow: canceled

motherland: fort salem: canceled

gentleman jack: canceled

the wilds: canceled

first kill: canceled

supergirl: ended

dickinson: ended

the bold type: ended

killing eve: ended

and we’re just supposed to be cool with almost all lesbian tv media being wiped out?

EVERYONE SHUT UP THIS IS SO FUNNY

[calliopewannabe]

ok but the original book is actually a bit different than the series and im loving it

Juliette was crushing on Calliope hard enough that it was actually noticeable to people other than Ben

Book Juliette looks more like her sister. And there's no mention of Oliver

Book Calliope has curls instead of the straightened hair we saw in the series

Book Calliope has friends other than Tess. That's something we didn't see explicitly mentioned in the series.

In the book they actually had small talk instead of fleeting glances

Also book Juliette is in denial of her crush

Book Calliope makes the first move!!!!!

Book Juliette wears lipstick (?????!!!!)

The one thing that doesn't change though is Cal realizing she's a vampire cuz she thought Jules was cute

The Burns siblings are all teenagers and Cal is definitely funnier in the book

THIS THO SHE MFKING CARVED HER INITIALS!!! ON THE WEAPON!!!

I started watching First Kill last night and i’m obsessed it’s so gay

[calliopewannabe]

so valid

netflix can absolutely eat my ass. i'm so fucking tired of them giving sapphic shows a budget of 4 dollars and then them cancelling it because "not enough people finished watching" when the show had 30 MILLION views the first week and stayed top 5 despite huge shows dropping at the same time. fuck netflix and fuck their fake "representation matters" bullshit

[calliopewannabe]

i’ve been tweeting since last night about the tragedy go over to my twitter to check it out
