my ostrich moment
no one knows the violence it took the become this gentle etc etc etc this was the most devastating thing i've ever watched and i feel Insane thinking about it so i won't <3 never watching the last episode. also the pride protest scene was the Most Scene Forever and Ever. may our lives be bright and colorful and may we all have someone who will hold us through night terrors. may we all be gentle people our loved ones turn for comfort even while asleep. i love us all i love you all
adding this later as i just found out off and gun are dating and that all of the actors in the lgbt parade scene were lgbt in real life, no wonder this show is so special to me, turns out everything actually came from a genuine place c': and also found out the director is trans as well we love to see us winning!!
apparently i'm supposed to write 500 words so i guess i'll talk about the rest of my thoughts.
the entire series was so immersive as the screenwriters popped off with character building, i'm very very thankful to all those who participated in the making of this series, for portraying those who are silenced everyday but continue speaking up regardless. seriously that pride march / protest was Everything to me.
each song and track were SO good and placed at the right scenes SO well i went to spotify to find songs many times. bless whoever picked bass heavy instrumentals too idk why it isn't done more often in this type of series smh
anyways i think this isn't meant to be watched in a weird gay fetish-y way (as nothing is meant to be watched with that mindset really). this wasn't a cliche fanservice BL or whatever the fuck cishet mfs call it & i hope it will be appreciated properly for the social injustice it addresses and for telling the story of lgbt people in a realistic and respectful way.
also whoever did the artwork throughout the series really snapped. especially the mural sean's friend did after the fire, i also remember one with many eyes that make an angel wing shape? the cop dude's artwork was great too. if anyone knows the artists for this series please let me know!
edit: i caved in and finished it, the last episode was incredible as well i just have no words.
