ps - idk why lumity wasn't here but they'd go in cute! there were a few more but I couldn't make out who they were from the thumbnail so I didn't add them lol
remember jane the virgin and how they made petra bi and handled it so well AND they managed to hire an actress that had chemistry with yael to play her love interest 🫡
one thing that was so good about jane the virgin was how it compared similar stories? let me explain:
when jane gets pregnant she decides to not get an abortion even though she’s told to, and later in the show when xo gets pregnant she choses to get an abortion, even though she’s told not to. the show isn’t swaying you one way or the other, it’s showing that both choices are valid and it depends on what you want.
or how the two sapphic stories were so different. roisa’s love story was incredibly passionate and toxic and ended in death, but petramos’s story has a happy ending because they loved each other unconditionally learned how to communicate (and also neither of them were serial killers). it shows that not all queer relationships have happy endings but not all queer relationships are doomed.
i really wish there were more to add. most of my favorite wlw couples are in books, though. here’s hoping that sapphic representation grows in the near future!!
I completely forgot about the Law and Order section of this episode! Nearly spit out my drink when it happened a second time regarding JR’s motives! It kills me every time; so fucking good.
