the way the show starts & ends with Emma & Audrey & their past complex friendship & the way that Emma got popular (& straight passing) & Audrey didn’t isnt just something that happens but pretty much at the core of the show more so than any other relationship or dynamic like the show STARTS with Audrey getting outed & Emma trying to navigate this & it only gets more insane from there but right from second 1 this show is about these 2 & their relationship.

^^^ this ^^^ is how their shots are framed as they interact at the party emma invites audrey to!!! In the pilot!!! as parallel to the forbidden romance between daisy & brandon in the past!!! hello??

literally they were thee greatest queerbait of our generation goodbye

I know this is a basic bitch opinion but there is nothing more enticing to me in a story than two girls with sexual tension & a complicated cunty past with heartbreak & drama investigating a mystery together in a small town with a violent past

things I LOVE about season 1 episode 6 of Scream MTV “Betrayed”

Daisy & Brandon are directly explicitly compared to Emma & Audrey #the subtext is quickly becoming text. Childhood friends to lovers who love each other even when the world is against them. The show is even almost aware of police corruption & brutality as it relates to ableism & homophobia at parts!

Daisy & Brandon 🥺🫶 Monsters are not always Just Evil. when is a monster not a monster? oh, when you love it 🥺

Emma not only breaks into Audrey’s house & hides evidence while Audrey is being questioned she continues to believe in Audrey’s innocence even in the face of extremely damning evidence even when NOAH Audrey’s BEST friend & number one defender forever briefly questions her.

My best friend Daisy Duval encouraging Emma to lie to police. Some tv moms are good it seems like a myth but it’s not!

Anyway I love this show ❤️

I’m normal about the cycles of corruption & small town hate & Daisy trying to help Brandon but never explicitly standing up for him & watching as the police kill him because of ableism & assumptions & the cycle being broken after Audrey is abused & mistreated by the police as an angry young queer girl who’s been through hell & about Emma protecting Audrey & hugging her in the end 🥺🫶 btw. the way Lakewood hates people who are different but the Duval women won’t stand for it. I care a normal about about Daisy & Brandon & Emma & Audrey parallels a normal amount. It doesn’t even bother me that we never got a real resolution about what happened that night at the prom I’m FINE with it

Would pay an insane amount of money to see all these characters interact with each other

how to get away with murder is actually so iconic in terms of queer stuff

bisexual main character (annalise), gay main character (connor), gay secondary main character (oliver), lesbian tertiary character (tegan), gay dads (connors dad + husband), lesbian side character (eve), gay jokes everywhere that are actually funny and sound like jokes queer people would make as opposed to a reskin of homophobia, a trans woman as a client who is vehemently backed up by annalise as being a woman after getting transphobic comments thrown at her by a cop, a queer muslim woman (and another client) who (after the prosecution questioned the validity of her love for her wife due to having married a man before) who is suggested to be bisexual, and then there’s the homophobe gets the shit kicked out of him—ITS ALL SO FUCKING GOOD I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH

and none of the main queer characters have their entire character centered around their sexuality—they just HAPPEN to be queer. all of them are complex and layered and while there’s plenty of conflict that stems from their sexuality (tegan feeling like she’s not being taken seriously due to being a lesbian WOC at a primarily male law firm; annalise not wanting to be open or loud about her sexuality due to being “black and from the damn bible belt” (direct quote lmao); oliver’s HIV diagnosis), it’s not the Main Point of their characters. it’s just another piece to the puzzle.

AGH. it’s so fucking good. THAT is how queer representation should be in the mainstream—populous, proportional, and meaningful.

the secret history could be titled how to get away with murder

i wish all the people who make lorelai's trauma seem invalid and claim that she's the problem when it comes to her relationship with emily a very pleasant fuck you.

okay but like, the biggest disservice to jess & rory (and those of us who are fans of them) is that their relationship in season 3 was really only featured whenever shit hit the fan. they only received a place in the narrative during those times when jess didn't call, when he was in a piss poor mood, when rory jumped to conclusions and assumed the worst about him.

yet we're told time and time again throughout that season how often they hang out together offscreen. like. sooo many times. they're constantly planning to meet up with each other, where we can assume they would watch movies, talk about shit, listen to music, swap notes from the books they've been reading, gorge themselves on takeout - this was happening every single weekend (according to dialogue) and then some.

for the majority of their relationship, things were going fine! they were getting along and being besties! we just didn't get to see it!!! do not forget this!

[prettylittleheronstairs]

they don't make men like him anymore
