Liv and Vinny getting married is the reason I started watching Emmerdale again, something I swore I’d never do after Ryan left. To see an asexual person, particularly an asexual girl just younger than me get married and have it not be an issue, that was a dream. That was a future I’d rarely let myself hope for and it meant more to me than I could ever put into words.
The representation she gave me validated me in so many ways and made me feel more comfortable in myself. She was the first person I saw on TV who was like me. I know I’m not the only person who’s life she’s touched and affected, I’ve seen the conversations her character has started and people who have realised who they are because of Liv. That’s important, so so important.
Representation has improved, somewhat. In America, and now in Australia, we do have instances of ace representation and it’s a lot more than when Liv came out. Still, these are few and far between and these characters rarely get the chance to appear or talk about themselves more than once, or the show gets cancelled after one season. Liv has been the exception.
To say she has been a quietly groundbreaking character is putting it lightly.
The idea of, after all of this, killing her off? That feels cruel on another level. It’s bury your gays, but feels even more personal because of how little asexual representation we have ever had. I don’t need to talk about how triggering and upsetting bury your gays is as a trope, we’ve all been there and we’ve all felt the effects of it.
I understand that Isobel likely wanted to leave, and Liv and Vinny’s relationship has been so strong that it would be difficult for her to leave without him. Sadly, this storyline has shown that it is possible for external forces to break them apart, and whilst it would be a downbeat and disappointing ending for her, it would make sense with this Sandra storyline. Killing her off though, feels like a poor storytelling decision, especially when her leaving after the breakdown of her relationship with Vinny feels like the right way to go. It’s going to leave an impact and not the way Emmerdale seems to think it will; it will only hurt asexual people who’ve been changed by Liv.

Potential 02x06 spoiler? Slightly suggestive content too
I know this season has ✨issues✨ but I still had a great time.
Had to get the Gentlebeard wormies out of my system before getting back to work 😭 I'm so soft
(Ed gets the twink treatment, sorry I don't make the rules)

Chas and Liam would be sweet if Chas wasn't the type of person to let her demons out. In theory, he would be a really good match for her, just like DS Wise would've been. Dan, Paddy etc has shown though that she is incapable of staying with a sweet guy who treats her right and will have a sustained affair with the nearest scumbag and is absolutely incapable of resisting the most screwed up relationship possible.

godddd the way the original e5 “you wear fine things well” scene was backlit by a giant full moon that didn’t actually exist bc this was ed and stede’s fairy tale romance, the way they’re both all dressed up in finery and looking their best after a fancy night out (which didn’t go how either of them expected but that’s not the point the point is it was an Event it was a whole Thing they went to)
and then in the e5 “wear fine things well” 2 electric boogaloo scene the moon is a waxing gibbous because it’s real and stede’s wearing what remains of his fancy suit he had to get rid of and ed’s wearing a fucking. sack and a cat collar. and holding a fucking dead fish. and they’re just catching up after both of them had a pretty normal day doing their own things. this isn’t the picture-perfect fantasy from last season this is both of them grounded in the moment taking it slow because their relationship is worth handling with care. they want this to last and they want this to be real so they’re taking their time, being gentle. they’re not as completely absorbed by each other the way they were last season, they’re their own separate people who can exist in different plotlines for an episode and then come back at the end of the day and catch up, swap stories, kiss and hold hands and just hang out and enjoy being in each other’s presence.
now if you’ll excuse me. i have to go cry.
