My favourite WayHaught scene? The sacrifice scene.
I’m just so much more into emotional content between WLW couples than sexual content. I just really feel the depth of love and devotion in scenes where one has to or decides to sacrifice themselves for the other’s safety or freedom or well being or life. Because think about it. How much love do you have to feel for the other person to be to be able to do that? To have the courage and strength to sacrifice for them?
See that’s the thing with Xena and Gabrielle that I’ve written about many times before. Because they couldn’t show physical intimacy between them much and they had to leave the nature of their relationship ambiguous, what they did instead was amped up the emotional content where no matter how hard you tried, you could not not see how much they loved each other, whether it be as only friends or as lovers. You could interpret for yourself whether it was platonic or romantic but you absolutely could not deny their love and devotion to each other. It was deeply felt. Visceral.
It’s a declaration of commitment as well as love with WayHaught because it’s not just sacrifice what Nicole does in becoming the Angel’s Shield. It’s a way of binding herself to Waverly to always protect her. Binding herself not just to her future wife but to the supernatural being that’s been tasked with protecting the Garden of Eden and thus the entire Ghost River Triangle that surrounds it. By Nicole becoming the Angel’s Shield, she has said: “Let me be and do it.”
It’s a sacrifice FOR her but also a commitment TO her.
And okay yeah, it doesn’t relieve Waverly of the role entirely, but what it does do is puts a defensive wall around Eden so that she does not have to immediately follow through with sitting on the throne as Guardian. So they do not have to be separated from each other. Nicole becoming the Angel’s Shield is a statement of: “Stay here with me and I’ll protect all this with you”because otherwise Waverly would have to leave her and she can’t have that happen. Not again. Not ever.
It’s beautiful. You don’t see that often enough in TV art/entertainment with WLW representation. That wholly encompassing depth of love and devotion to each other through sacrifice. And the reason why is because it requires seasons of narrative set up and build up for it to really work and hit as a climax and conclusion. You don’t get it because the WLW couple are NEVER main characters nor last that long to be able to depict scenes of epic love and romance and to represent emotional content that is this compelling to watch and doesn’t feel forced or contrived because there’s sufficient backstory and foundation behind it.
I’m being completely honest that the only other time I’ve really ever seen it is with Xena and Gabrielle despite them not being confirmed as a couple in the show. It’s hard to express or articulate how much this doesn’t matter when the creators agree with you anyway. When they absolutely see the them this way and do what they can under the restrictions to show it. To represent a love without defining the nature of that love other than a few less-than-subtextual tentative kisses where you can read into it whatever you want.

You guys are right. Here’s a link to a second poll for second place. Feel free to vote on this one as well if you want. Mayor Tyler Cutebiker will be awarding the Mayor/main character of the runner up town with a flower crown and sash which will then be immediately incinerated and then forgotten about.

Edit: Nevermind, you guys telling me it was going to be a Gravity Falls sweep were wrong!
Still, as coiner of the phrase Mayor Tyler Cutebiker will still award the winner with a flower crown and a sash which will then be immediately incinerated and forgotten about even if he has to give it to himself

I want to so badly support #SaveWarriorNun, but I have already tried with Wynonna Earp, then Motherland: Fort Salem, and then First Kill, and now I’m just so tired of not getting the queer content renewed, I’m burnt out, I can’t handle all the rejection anymore- I put so much effort into these things just for nothing and now I can’t anymore

I love in Old Souls when Wynonna’s all mad about Doc leaving and brings up Kate and says, “Her shit’s still in your car!” and he snaps back, “That is your shit.” It so perfectly encapsulates their relationship. Wynonna refuses to acknowledge the deep but easy intimacy they’ve shared for YEARS but she also feels like he’s hers and she gets SO MAD when he has anyone else.

I went on a podcast and fawned over Doc in the Freddie Mercury costume, just praying I was good and normal about it, bc I was in fact thinking about how noticeable Tims bulge is...

At this point I believe the Duffer brothers were just being smart, not having any canonical queer relationship on their show for now, because apparently if they did they would've gotten canceled.

Because she wants to and she intends to. That’s all it is. She wants to and she makes sure to make it happen. She doesn’t back down when people tell her she “can’t” or “won’t” or “shouldn’t” or “never will”.
Andras is like:

So the whole point of Purgatory is that everyone knows the town is full of demons but they all pretend it isn’t happening.
But apparently they’ve only noticed that a member of practically every longstanding family in the town has gone missing when a 13 year old boy disappears.
Bulshar has at least ten prisoners holed up and no one filed a missing person report? And the BBD team hasn’t been keeping an eye? I mean, Jeremy was in a flirtation with one of them and assumed he’d been ghosted, which shows that no one was aware at all.
