  1. I really hope the Dora Milaje show has some queer women, but then again Disney’s homophobia is neverending.

  2. I read the original First Kill short story and thought it was cute. The show seems to be keeping all of the named characters, including the vampire’s (male) gay best friend, plus adding a couple more. I hope it’s great, or at least a lot of fun.
