Jules is all laid up next to Cal after their tree moment ready to RUN AWAY with her if their parents don't allow them to be together.
They've known each other for like a week and half and just being around Cal makes all of Jules brain cells march right out the door. And honestly, at 16, same.
If First Kill had existed when I was a teenager, every interaction between Cal and Jules would've rendered me speechless. Like I would simply pass out from the sheer palpable chemistry emanating off of them. Plus seeing an awkward dorky lesbian so earnestly trying to talk to her crush and literally doing something as wonderfully strange as asking her to wish upon a bee? Like... I would have felt so seen.
And holy shit don't get me started on the pantry scene. The raw passionate softness of their kisses and how completely they are taken with each other, everything about that scene is hot AF now and just so real, I can't even imagine if I was their age watching it. I would simply pass away. Like holy shit this show is so gay and perfect.
I'm watching first kill and I am screaming crying and squealing.
Watching something as silly as a vampire teenage series wouldn't usually send me in this state (... Fanfiction and song of Achilles do) but this is so explicitly queer and saphic and it's really healing something in me.
Julie and cal talking about their queerness so casually is making my insides squirm and I have to pause for a second because it makes me so fucking happy that I get to see saphic teenage romance in a fashion younger me could not even dream of.
