#and I think Izzy’s death actually broke my enjoyment of OFMD somehow?

OFMD Finale spoilers

But. . . I just realised Izzy gets shot in his left side. . .

The side that is “non lethal” in this universe?? Really? We’re gonna go with that?

It really just feels like Izzy’s death just blatantly broke so many rules for the universe and the audience. We thought we were safe, that this was a camp comfort show, with miraculous recoveries, where no one we actually cared about died- But.

But-

No. Our “harsh reality” still somehow exists. We still can’t get our happy ever after?

I’m still on the fence about if we should be calling this out as BYG or not. Does it count if everyone is queer and one queer character dies? No, normally not. But. . . just something about Izzy going on this beautiful journey of queer discovery, self acceptance and found family love, only to be discarded in the most avoidable death possible, once his arc is over and he has no use for the main couple/characters anymore-

In fact, where he actually potentially “jeopardises” them by being in love with Ed. . . It just hits me the wrong way? And got me in that tender spot where a lot of my BYG/QB grief/trauma goes. Idek.

Izzy, their unicorn: one true captain. . .

His death just seems so trite and pointless to me-
