I’m in the middle of watching Shelter on prime and it’s casually just the gayest show I’ve ever seen like what do you mean all the best main ships are queer?? what do you mean they actually say the word lesbian?? what do you mean they actually have chemistry and portray both young and older queer relationships?? GIVE THIS SHOW MORE HYPE CAUSE OH MY GOD
the way rachel calls spoon by his real name arthur at the memorial service and spoon’s just like no thanks!! I’m spoon now!! like it’s not just mickey’s nickname for him, he genuinely took that new name and is making everyone call him by it now almost so that mickey is never reminded of the time he slipped up and forgot his real name pls my heart can’t take this, that boy has a the biggest crush!!

Okay, also, I really love all the incredible friendship dynamics between the four "besties." They are clearly not all into the same things, but they seem genuinely supportive of and excited about each other's interests/talents. So often in shows set in high school, they have characters scoff at/disparage their friend's interests that don't align with theirs and use it as a source of conflict. This isn't done at all in the show & I love it. Instead it's like- Spoon immediately recognizing Mickey's love of basketball and hyping him up about it, Ema showing up for Spoon's audition & supporting him when he's panicking, Spoon being amazed & excited & even stepping back and giving Ema the spotlight when she joins in (and being so excited about her being cast in the lead role), Ema coming to Mickey's basketball tryouts to cheer for him (Spoon, too, but he seems to have an official role that required him to be there, but Ema seems to have shown up just for Mickey), Rachel & Spoon & Ema all immediately being excited to go to Mickey's basketball party, Ema & Spoon being so enthusiastic about Rachel's cheer routine, Spoon wanting to learn some of the dance & Rachel teaching him. I just love a supportive friend group! Mickey's a bit less involved in his friend's extra-curricular life (though I want to recognize that he's very supportive/protective of them in other ways), mostly because he's so embroiled in the mystery plot that it takes up a lot of his screen time, but I really hope we get a chance to see him more in this capacity in a possible (please) season 2.

ah yeah because everybody suspects Rachel the cheerleader to be dating Mickey the basketball player in their little besties squad, everyone's gossiping about it 'did you hear about Rachel and Mickey? They're totally a thing' only for the pair of them to be totally unbothered, waiting for the perfect moment to reveal Rachel's dating Ema and Mickey's dating Spoon
