What’s your opinion about Luke?

Lol, after my recent track record of hating dim white guys, you’d think I wouldn’t care for him, but honestly, he’s a genuinely sweet dude who was already in over his head BEFORE his gf realized she was in love with a girl and is now stuck in a situation he has no knowledge or understanding of. I actually feel sorry for him (although not as much as for like, every other character, given what they went through). 

The writers always center Sterling or even April in his scenes, so he just furthers their story, beyond providing comic relief. In fact, a lot of the first half of the show was setting up moments that would later be contrasted with Stepril, like how Sterling happily left him to help Blair but clearly did not leave April, to the point of actually hurting Blair. Or how she couldn’t even force herself to be sad after the breakup with Luke while with April…yeesh. 

As long as this kind of character in female-led media serves the female characters, I’m fine, but when they get the development at the female characters’ expense? I don’t love that. And it’s not like Luke didn’t get any development, honestly, his scene with Sterling in the finale and especially during the breakup earlier were my favorite with him, not even when he was being dumb and funny but just heartfelt and genuine. So yeah, currently, I like him. Could change in s2 if they do what I said I don’t like up there, but I hope not!

Have you seen Mustangs FC? It’s an Aussie kids show that has a diverse cast and a really good lesbian character (Ruby) and focuses on football! I was surprised at how good it was and would’ve loved a show like this when i was younger. I haven’t heard about till I accidentally caught it on tv and was pleasantly surprised. You can watch it on ABC iview (but s1 is currently not on it).

I hadn’t heard of it at all until this ask, anon, and because it originally showed up as a little preview I thought it was about an actual soccer team and was like, I don’t know them. 😮 Hmm, that does look interesting, kind of a younger version of The Hockey Girls, I’m gonna try to check it out, but I also don’t know where to find s1, my other sources don’t have it either.

Hello i need help plz where i can watch aneela and delle seyah story?

I assume you mean just their clips and not the full show, so they actually start in season 3, and here’s a pretty thorough compilation of their s3 scenes:

And I found this listing that someone else put together:

I feel like April is totally within her rights to not be ready to be out yet. She’s been hiding her sexuality for years in their very southern, very conservative world. And Sterling expects her to be out after like….what two days of secretly hanging out and kissing? I mean, they weren’t even together for a week were they?

Oh, for sure! My position from the start was actually a very strong “she doesn’t have to come out at any point for the likely duration of this show!” so that’s what the previous answer was, me lightly backing off of that because it IS so painful and you can see its effects on her. But of course it has to be done with so much care. That’s the thing, this being a TV show, there’s what’s best for the character/rep and what’s most dramatic and often those are not the same thing. 

About Sterling, like. I sympathize! She got caught up with it, she’d JUST had a huge fight with her twin where the issue wasn’t the same-sex thing but instead the secrets, that’s the mindset she was carrying with her into the finale. It’s hard to balance, and even if it was a few days, clearly it was this very charged satisfying new dynamic that was making her feel something she seemed to have been chasing since the start of the show and probably before. And on some level she and April have known and been circling each other since at least the 5th grade. I can get that it felt super significant to her, worth the coming out.

Neither side is wrong–this isn’t even a sides thing, this is just…circumstance. They both have done not great things but are both understandable and ultimately sympathetic, they’re just kids making the best of normal kid stuff as well as the larger social injustices of homophobia.

What is lovecraft country about?

It’s a scifi show, set in the US in the ‘50s and since it mostly focuses on a set of Black characters, there’s a whole lot of racism they deal with amid the scifi. It’s based on a set of connected short stories so while it’s the same characters and it’s all the same continuity, each episode starts and finishes its own complete and very packed arc. 

This time around I don’t feel anyone pressuring them to speak english. I know it happens sometimes but this time I think it was just people knowing they both speak some english and therefore asking questions. And to be honest I feel for the people that can’t understand them in their native language, they miss a lot of content because of it and have to patiently wait for the kind souls that translate things. [1]

Obviously that doesn’t give anyone the right to be rude, but I didn’t notice anyone over the line this time around. Also about the LGBT question, they both answered it in Spanish as well precisely because they can be more eloquent that way, Maca made a joke about answering in Spanish as well because this way they can speak faster. Anyway, for the people that are waiting for translations, I believe All The Lilies is uploading it with subs. [2]

Oh, okay, that’s good, I wasn’t sure about it, I hadn’t tuned into most of it and then wasn’t watching the comments. But like, it can be just the sheer number of people asking that becomes kind of overwhelming in itself, you know? But yeah, I do get it, like I said, it’s just an individual asking, they’re not exactly bargaining collectively. And oh, okay, awesome, glad they got a chance to finetune their answer. 

Ah, awesome! Ole ATL coming through again.

This is part 1, they’re doing it in big chunks:

And I think this other user is also doing it?

The fact that there are like at least three different entities sitting down to do this hour long video is…so lovely, lol. 

I would love for April to come out but for her, not only to get back with sterling, I want her to come out and then working things out with sterling and eventually that they get back together ❤️

I’ve been thinking over this and I know that when I first watched I was all, some people just don’t get to come out early! April shouldn’t have to go through this arc if she’ll be left disowned or whatever, they shouldn’t focus on coming out as the only goal, she has a right to prioritize her security and future, but I happened to catch a gifset of the skeeball scene and as always, paused on this one because it is the cutest:

And like, it made me super sad! For ONCE, she’s allowing herself to be so open with someone, not having to guard every word and glance and motion, knowing it’ll be accepted without judgment and with safety, like, she can trust in this dynamic in a way she can’t with anybody else! The closet is such a particular kind of hell when you know how the people around you will react, it truly is traumatizing to be that watchful and careful and afraid CONSTANTLY. I used to be afraid I’d accidentally say something incriminating in my sleep! It’s literally like being undercover or a spy in enemy territory, you don’t get any respite. Except the enemy in this case are your family and friends, the people you’d go to for comfort in any other situation.

But for just this moment, she’s letting herself relax with someone, and the worst part is? The worst part? She’s fully self-aware! She knows how intense she is! She knows how high-strung she usually is, how she comes across, how people regard her, how she’s been forced to be these last years. But what other choice does she have? Nothing until she comes out.

So I’ve changed my mind, anon. You’re right, I hope she does come out, and of course she is a fictional character, but I hope that kids–people in her position get to see a way out of it without too much loss. Her father becoming accepting would be too unrealistic but maybe it could be a Quinn Fabray kind of situation where they deal with him once and for all, that is actually plot-relevant, and then her mom is better about it? I just hope they treat it with the kindness I want for her. 😡
