Every so often I do find myself thinking about The Eclipse because I went into that show expecting a mildly politically-conscious high school drama with some kind of supernatural element and came out having watched a comprehensive dissertation on the damage internalized homophobia does to a person and the way people in authority can weaponize fear to facilitate the persecution of marginalized people by members of their own groups, and absolutely no eclipse-related magic to speak of

#the eclipse #im CHEWING ON IT i think im gonna have to rewatch soon #its like this slow realization as you watch too #like i feel like i need to rewatch to fully absorb jt because for the first few eps ur like #so the plot of this show is about this eclipse curse and some vague enemies to lovers high school romance #and then once u get in deeper ur like oh. no its abt homophobia and how restrictive fanatical cult-like worldviews lock in vulnerable teens
