unfortunately I don’t feel very at home in the arcane fandom because there isn’t nearly enough appreciation for her and it simply doesn’t sit right with my long suffering Black girl spirit 😔

Why are shows with gay people just like 10x better than any other in human existance?

Like every show with a gay person just automatically because revolutionary and has the most amazing fandoms with the most vivid, creative, awe-inspiring plots and word building.

Arcane, Good Omens, BBC Sherlock Holmes, Our Flag Means Death, Umbrella Academy, Shameless, BBC Merlin, The Last of Us, the list goes on!

But I feel like any other show, regardless of genre, just falls flat when it lacks the ✨crispness✨ of queerness. Am I the only one that thinks this?

#i don’t care what your beef is actually #queer people are my people but they aren’t the only ones #arcane #praying for some sense in s2 #mel medarda #they failed her and it makes me sad #it will never ever ever make sense to stan silco yet insist that mel is evil and irredeemable no matter how you try to rationalize it #and no i won’t shut up about it #because all they do by being awful about her is make me start to resent their faves #liking ekko doesn’t make up for it either #he has to be perfect just to still be ignored by a lot of the fans #it would be nice to just be able to enjoy my experience as a Black woman into genre fiction but no #there’s always some bs #every time
