That definitely has to be one of the best and most distinct things about this ship. I assume that’s why so much credit seems to be given to improvisation, some scenes seem so natural people literally can’t believe it was all intentionally written and directed that way. 

Soaps and other daily shows tend to get less takes so you do get that feel of some lines being a little less polished but it’s pretty rare it actually elevates the scenes. I think it comes down to a lot of the writing actually being that natural and creating this dynamic where they are such breezy, fun friends,, to the directing, and the actors for selling it.

They’re a dream for all of us, but I think it’s important to point out, anon, that they’re feeling the effects of homophobia too. That they can fight against it because they’re fictional characters (especially since one of them is like an orphan billionaire…Batwoman AU?) is great and all, but many individual people fight against it in their own real lives too.

I’m not lecturing you, it sucks, I really am sorry for how it is for you, and me, and all of us watching and living vicariously through media. I’m not trying to say it’s terrible for the characters and not to idealize that world, I’m saying, we’re all fighting against similar circumstances too, in our ways. 

As for the rise of homophobia, these things tend to be cyclical. I do think we are always improving overall. Sometimes, particularly in a certain year I like to refer to as 2016, it really doesn’t feel like it, and we see all kinds of terrible crimes that seem to be escalating, and sometimes attitudes do seem to regress, but it’s never for long, and often those crimes are things that would actually be so frequent and matter of fact before that they weren’t even highlighted. 

Whatever country you live in, things will eventually get better. Did Mexican wlw think they’d get Juliantina this soon? As a desi, I didn’t think we’d get anything like Ek Ladki. 2015′s Filipino The Rich Man’s Daughter was a mainstream series with the f/f characters as the actual leads. Flozmin got 22 hours of content! I know things are scary with the rise of the right-wing…everywhere, but you see people outraged at it and fighting too. Hopefully we can all hunker down and live through this and get to happier times.
