hey sapphics, let’s talk Willow (2022)

because I am so upset about this cancellation it is literally affecting all other aspects of my life, and I know it’s dumb to be feeling grief about a tv show but at this point, we all know it’s not just a tv show?

which is why it is so frustrating and exhausting to go through this process.

because it isn’t the first time.

I mean, we had LITERALLY just gotten the news about a league of their own. and before that, there was warrior nun, and first kill, and the wilds, and paper girls – i can’t possibly remember all of them, it’s just so many.

and you know what these cancellations tell me? that sapphic stories are not worth it for big corporations. that we are forever destined to be the secondary characters, the stereotypes, the butt of the jokes and, of course, the disposable characters that can be killed off in season finales.

it makes me want to stop watching tv shows with sapphic characters because, even if we get a beautiful love story with well rounded characters like Jade and Kit, it will just be thrown away after 10 episodes.

i hate to be this extreme. and i hate to be this hopeless and upset, but i hope there is someone in the fandom or in the sapphic community that understands why is it that i feel like this. and hopefully, someday, i’ll be as positive as some of the beautiful posts i have seen, celebrating the small wins we got with Willow.

and by the way i am so, so happy about those wins. we literally got two lesbian disney princesses, the first ones in history, and NO ONE can take that away. and we got an amazing cast and crew who care about this story as much as we do.

and this fandom, which is so fucking special.

(sorry for the long post but I think I finally got it all out)
