BY KILLING HER???)#(and like yeah her death is a bit more relevant to the plot but somehow that's worse?? because—again—they FRIDGED her???)#(they *really* couldn't have given her a happy ending offscreen?)#(not even a handwritten slide saying 'Kit fell in love and moved to New Jersey' or something???)#ask me how I feel about #Kit Porter #and the way they treated her #hopefully with this series being cancelled and a new one coming up #we can treat this one as non-canon #because nothing about this is acceptable canon to me #oof sorry to ramble but there we go #Jenny Schecter #The L Word #The L Word: Generation Q #death tw #all caps tw #large text
