@st-just, in reference to this post.
Here's my more in-depth review of The Faithless, if you're curious.
The Locked Tomb is something of a special case of queer norm fiction. It took me a while to figure out why I loved tlt so much when I was so cold on all other queer norm fiction, but I do have an answer.
The thing about tlt is that it's queer norm in the sense that queer characters and relationships are utterly unremarkable... but it's also not queer norm because there is no norm. The worldbuilding in tlt is deliberately sparse, such that we have no idea what a normal family or relationship within the Nine Houses even looks like! We know Harrow's parents were married and had her. We know that Magnus and Abigail are married but don't have children. We know that Corona and Ianthe have parents. We know that children can be grown artificially in vats. We know that marriage for political alliance is a concept that Harrow is aware of. And as far as I can remember, that's it! The worldbuilding is a black box, and nothing that we can glimpse in it is strained by unremarkable queerness, which is a very rare thing.
The Locked Tomb also injects other elements that resonate with me as authentically queer. Probably the biggest one is that the characters, in addition to being queer, are horny and weird about it. Like, I know that sounds trite to say, but of all the wlw books I've read, I would say a plurality are pretty chaste, and most of the ones that aren't are fairly tame or understated in the level and type of horniness on display. There's a lot to be said about the overlap between the queer community and the kink community that is way beyond the scope of this post, but without even touching Harrianthe bone sex and Nona's vore thing, one of the first things we learn about Gideon is that she owns porn magazines. It is vanishingly rare for fiction to acknowledge that people have or use pornography, let alone queer characters, let alone in a value neutral way, but a lot of queer people owe some part of their self-discovery to porn, in whatever form. The books are just full of unsanitized, "impure", queer desire, and that's both resonant and uncommon.
The last thing, I think, that makes tlt stand apart from queer norm fiction, is that the queer normalization is localized. In Nona the Ninth, we see life outside the Nine Houses, and it is messy. Pyrrha gets misgendered and stereotyped. Her gender identity is misunderstood and disrespected. The polite fiction of perfect understanding and tolerance of a lot of queer norm settings falls away completely. If you want to take a particularly meta read, you could argue that since the Nine Houses are not an emergent culture but a society designed and created by John, a queer man from our time, that he acted as an author and deliberately enforced queer norm standards on them because if he was going to be God, then god dammit he was gonna have his queer utopia about it.
The locked tomb deals with queerness in its setting in a really novel way that works very well for it specifically, and I really enjoy it. You could argue whether it counts as queer norm or not, because it very much blurs the lines. Something queer about that too, yeah?

Top 20 International* WLW TV Shows
*For the purposes of this list international Shows are TV Shows not produced by or for an American, Canadian or British platform. They may or may not have an American distributor. For example Bitter Daisies can be included because it's a Spanish production that Netflix simply bought while Elite can't because it is a Netflix Spanish production.

something that made me smile when i read ntn is that corona is often considered the most beautiful woman in the series by most of the characters, and she’s also described as “big” once, while nona is thinking about how lovely she is!! the word doesn’t have negative connotations in this wlw-centric universe, which i love

Notes from a Colorblind Girl: What the Pride Flags Mean to Me
Small note: these are entirely my opinions. Art is subjective; your takeaways may be completely different than mine.
Rainbow: a classic. The brightness and colorfulness of our world. Many shades, many experiences, many people gathering under one banner. Rainbows appear after storms as if to say "you have endured, for there is still life and light and love here. You will continue to endure."
Lesbian/wlw: reds, oranges, pinks. Fire and sunrises, the white corona of an eclipse at its center. Women who have seen the beauty of the universe in another's eyes. The bloom of azaleas and roses under a tender, soft sun. Springtime. Some will wear red on cracked fingertips; Rosie the Riveter looks back from the mirror. Some will wear pink on their faces and lips, the careful artistry of makeup brushes with the steady hand of a watchmaker. They face the sunrise and say "I will be here for your beauty. I will endure."
Gay/mlm: greens and blues. Deep water and ice. The men who sailed across endless oceans, the men who conquered the frozen peaks; pioneers, explorers, men with steel wills and scars that tell the stories of mountains. The biting cold and the gale will not deter them, for they are strong; but they love with a tenderness that the wilds will not give them. They face the expanse with bared teeth and say "I will not bow before the wind. I will endure."
Bisexual: pink, purple, and blue. The hues of dawn and dusk, when the day and night remake themselves anew. Two extremes that are linked nonetheless; there is no dawn without night, and no dusk without sunset. Just as the purple blends pink and blue, so do they blend love for the masculine and feminine. Two extremes, two opposites, a beautiful collision. Day and night are beautiful in their own ways, and some may have a preference for one or the other; more yet may prefer how the two can fuse and mesh. They face the dusk and say "I will see the majesty in the dark as well as the light. I will endure."
Trans: blue, pink and white. Rebirths and old ghosts, a place untapped by the new and haunted by the old. The bright blue of sparkling lakes beckon those who are ready to explore; the pink reflections of rose quartz call some of us to the deep. Puffy white clouds bring the promise of shade and rest to those who are weary, those who could not find solace under cerulean skies or in fields of carnations. The wanderers of this land are not lost. They are guided by the water, the gemstones, the clouds. They face the vast unknown and say "I will find myself in these unexplored wilds. I will endure."
Yeah I'm colorblind, but I'll be damned if I let that get in my way.

Take Care Of Me (Millie Bobby Brown x fem!Reader)
Tumblr media
You groaned and rolled over, waking up. Immediately you felt blood rush to your head and a pounding ache come over you.
“Ough,” you groaned out loud, surveying your surroundings. You were sprawled on your bed with your face and hair completely meshed with the pillow, leaving you feeling gross and a mess. Your head hurt, and you had some faint nausea boiling in your stomach. “Oh hey, you. Decided to wake up,” a sweet voice said, and you turned over to see Millie, your girlfriend, laying on her side. She looked pretty as always, but it was obvious she hadn’t gotten out of bed yet this morning. She touched your cheek with freezing fingers, and shook her head. “Still warm.” “Am I sick?” You croaked out. She brushed a strand of hair away from your sweaty face. “Yes. You don’t remember?” Her brow creased. You closed your eyes, desperate to find some coolness in the hot haze that was your mind. “Maybe this is more serious than I thought,” she said to herself, shuffling to get her phone off the nightstand. “No, no,” you said, not okay wanting her to call anyone. “I remember.” Even though your eyelids were still closed, you could imagine Millie’s brow unpuckering, and her scrunched face coming to rest. “I feel like shit,” you said flat-out. She laughed, a breathy one, still unsure if you were totally okay, but a laugh, and you opened one eye to catch a glimpse of it. “I’m glad you’re enjoying my suffering,” you cracked a little grin. “Well thank god you feel well enough to poke fun,” she smiled. “Want some water?” Her hand trailed over to the cup on the nightstand. “Yes please,” you said gratefully, feeling as if you were dying of thirst now that Mills has brought it up. She held the glass up to your lips and you drank from it, relishing in the temporary bliss of cold water being introduced to your system. She pulled it away from you after you had drunk nearly all of it. “What do you think I have?” You said, adjusting yourself so you were sitting more upright. “I’m not really sure. Maybe the flu? Or maybe covid. That would suck.” “I have my vaccine for both,” you sighed. (A/n this is a post pandemic fic hehehe) “Maybe it’s just a virus then.” She said sympathetically, gazing at you lovingly. “Yeah maybe.”
She grinned and moved so that she was closer to you, her head resting a mere inch or two away from your face. She draped her arm over your body loosely, and smirked, leaning in to press a kiss against your warm lips.
As she pulled away, you asked in a raspy voice,  “Baby, aren’t you going to get sick if you kiss me?”
She shrugged, her face making an absolutely adorable expression.
“Who cares?”
“I d-,” you started to say, but were cut off by Millie leaning in for another kiss. You tried to pull away, feeling guilty about getting her sick, but she moved one of her hands so it was pressed into the middle of your back and the other against the back of your neck, limiting your options for not kissing her.
Even though you never kissed back, she was having a one-sided make out with you and you were honestly kind of annoyed.
“Millie,” you said, but it was extremely muffled through her suffocating embrace.
“Millie!” You tried again, and this time she pulled away, smirking. “What’s wrong, hon? Can’t handle the sugar lips?”
You rolled your eyes. “No...but I’m sick. I don’t want you to get sick too.”
“Well,” she looked up to the ceiling in thought, “If you were going to give me your virus, or whatever is, I think you’d already have given it to me. So, no worries, right?”
You groaned, “No that’s not what I meant...“ as she leaned in for another kiss, this time pecking the tip of your nose.
“Don’t worry,” she smiled. “I know you’ll take care of me if I get symptoms,” and she kissed you again.
“Millie,” you whined, and she propped her head up on an elbow.
“Look. I don’t care if I get sick. Can’t we just forget everything and can’t I just kiss youuu??” She dragged out the last part, sticking out her bottom lip and giving you those beautiful brown puppy eyes.
“Fine…” you groaned, “But!” You quickly added as her eyes lit up, moving in to kiss you once more.
“I’m not taking care of you if you get sick. I was sick first, so you take care of me.”
“Deal,” she said instantly and this time it was you who leaned in, catching her lips. You pulled away, and she whined in protest.
You put a finger to her lips.
“Or how bout...we take care of each other!”
She grinned, “sounds good to me.”
