#jade sword: sword lesbian

[swashbucklery]

Was thinking about fic before bed and my brain fed met the most insane Kit/Jade AU in which Jade was secretly a werewolf and trying to hide it from Kit. And it culminated in the most dramatic scene, where [the danger] was happening and Jade looking directly into Kit’s eyes like, “Whatever happens, remember what I said. Remember that [the monster] was cursed, right? That [the atrocities] weren’t their fault. Remember that I love you.”

And Kit just like, “Yeah, yeah of course. I love you. What’s going to happen?”

AND THEN I WOKE UP but fuck me is that a fic, also @isaidquirky come collect your dream.

Jade is SO gay

SO gay it’s insane. Is there truly anything gayer than this look? Just unashamedly checking out your girlfriend in badass armour? Peak gayness right there. Jade is officially the gayest gay to ever gay. We did it guys we won

This lesbian has just watched Willow on disney+, which features a sword fighting lesbian couple (one knight and one princess)

so naturally I’m obsessed and you can appropriately expect to see a lot of medieval sword fighting lesbians from me for the next few days.

You’re welcome.

"Wait, the term sword lesbian is metaphorical? It's not always literally foreplay?"

- the writers of Willow, apparently

this show is so magical, next season they're all gonna get seduced by black widow elora/the worm/the wyrm and die. there is no way they could fight that kind of threat.

but before they die i want the obligatory episode where jade gets split between duty!kahlanjade and horny!jade and kit is zero help, possibly minus five help. i want the episode where elora discovers sex magic. i want the waverider to show up and for boorman to make them all run, not because it's a FUTURE MARVEL but because he did steal all of sara's booze and lube and that's an unforgivable crime in that crew (the lube stealing, i mean)

PS: DID YOU SEE I WASN'T LYING ABOUT THEM RIDICULOUSLY REMINDING EACH OTHER THAT TRUE LOVE IS POWERFUL

OK because if there is a Season 2 like:

a) Black Widow Elora comes to Kit in a dream ~and Kit comes too~, she is one thousand percent too dumb to not hook up with her (but also at the critical last second she comes through because Black Widow Elora doesn't know their safe word and THAT'S the only red flag in this entire interaction).

b) I actually wanted so much more from Jade's perspective; the pacing was so difficult to follow it really did feel like a series of music videos rather than a cohesive whole, and I feel like her voice got sort of lost in what aired. Because actually yes, Whoops Two Jades would be incredible (although then the question becomes: are both Jades gay for Kit? Is there a Horny Feelings Jade and a Duty Jade Who Never Has Gay Thoughts?)

c) If there are not AT LEAST twelve whoops we've discovered sex pollen in the Enchanted Bog Of Bonkington fics already I. . .guess I will have to do it myself but I'll be annoyed about it

I also still feel like Kit is Taylor Swift - The Man .mp3, and I'm actually really curious about what that dynamic will be like with her brother there like. Getting credit for being a brave knight just for showing up and Kit like I HAVE MAGIC ARMOR THAT GLOWS IN THE DARK I DEFENDED THE PRINCESS WHILE HE WAS MAKING OUT WITH AN OLD LADY COVERED IN GOO WHY WILL NOBODY BELIEVE ME.

How did Kit saying she didn’t know how to get the armor off not get followed up with Jade quipping “I’m sure I can figure it out.”

More Tanthamore thoughts

When the questies are fighting Ballantine for the first time, Kit gets knocked down, and Jade lunges in to block a blow aimed at her. Later, Jade is on the ground with Kit, presumably making sure she's ok

In the Immemorial City, Jade gets knocked down, and Kit dives in to block a blow aimed at her. Later, Kit is on the ground with Jade, presumably making sure she's ok

Once again taking turns, but this time it's about saving each other instead of making each other gay panic

I keep thinking I read something similar to this on tumblr already, so if someone already wrote it, please link the post

*During a future mission somewhere beyond the barrier*

Random thug that has Jade handcuffed: We have your girlfriend

Kit: First of all, she's my wife. Second of all, You don't have her, she has you. Good luck!

For years, we have rightfully called out Disney for their piss-poor Queer representation across the board, and they deserve all the smoke.

In the same breath, I also need to say that through 5 episodes of the Willow series, they are kind of getting it right. I am pleasantly surprised.

I fully accept that I might have to walk that back depending on how the series ends, but as of now, the handling of Kit and Jade's relationship has been sweet and flirty and angsty and fun. This relationship has been all the things, and it's just refreshing to watch.

Throw in a motley crew of adventurers on a never-ending quest, magic, nostalgia, and some campy goodness, and you get a delightful show.
