A deaf butch human warrior. A Black elf queen. Tolkien truly could never.
“Color coordinating the bat to the suit is iconiccccc dyke behavior.”
Watching the first season during what I considered my second puberty was miserable. I could acknowledge its effectiveness, but I felt alienated.
“Season Three of Love is Blind is, somehow, remarkably heterosexual, despite its premise retaining deep roots in lesbian cultural practices.”
