concept: a TV show with a dark, tragic, fucked-up beginning that steadily gets happier and lighter and more hopeful as the seasons go on, the narrative arc premised on healing and growth instead of a “gritty” downspiral, the challenges faced in each season finale leaving the characters in a progressively better place. nobody queer dies, and the worst things we ever see after season 1 all happen in flashbacks to events preceding the now.
I would love to see this.
@ebres this sounds so lovely ne?
More proof everyone thinks of heterosexuals as expendable. Nobody queer dies? What makes them more special than anyone else? You want only the straight people to die then? In post apocalyptic worlds ANYONE can die, doesn’t matter what your orientation is.
Congratulations! In the 60K notes on this post, you’re the only person to uncover my Sekrit Heterosexual Death Agenda. Truly, my comment had nothing whatsoever to do with the obscene number of gratuitous queer deaths in mainstream TV shows which under-represent queer characters in the first place while still over-representing their tragedies, and everything to do with my nascent desire to watch straight people suffer. The fact that I never mentioned straight people or post-apocalyptic stories and was expressly talking about narratives predicated on positive growth in PLACE of suffering was just a cover, and I commend you for seeing through it.
y’all need to watch Leverage
