Honestly, I would’ve preferred they both died in the water because I can’t deal with this gutted feeling of knowing Eve has now lost everything.

I can’t handle that tragedy for her. Her scream hurt my soul.

I think there's something really telling about the fact that KE, which was never meant to be a show about redemption, spent a whole season forcing a queer main character into a plot heavily driven by religion and then at the end of it all claimed that same queer character's death was a rebirth or cleansing for her partner, who was formerly straight. There is just something really disgusting about that whole thought process, especially when they then topped it off with bloody angel wings and some sort of ascension to a higher plane, when we know that V didn't believe in any such thing. Why was this arc that tried to redeem a character who didn't need redeeming introduced and then backed up with rhetoric that makes it appear that this "redemption" was more about returning her partner to "normalcy" (read heteronormative) than about her own actual redemption? The homophobia is just bubbling under the surface and really makes you start to wonder if the choices that we all find so vile and shocking were made as ignorantly as we've assumed. Rather, these may have been very deliberate choices that are having the exact impact that was intended

I am tired of not being able to enjoy cute moments of queer ships.

I am just so tired of knowing that the moment they get happy that means a death sentence for them.

I cried during all the soft moments of Villaneve because I just knew what will be the cost of them, we have been here so many times.

I am tired of TV writers using queer storylines as something disposable, I am tired of them acting like if they did us a favor by giving them moments just for one of them to be killed in the most stupid way ever, that served of no point to the plot.

I am just so tired. Queer characters deserve better WE deserve better.

“But showrunner Laura Neal killed off Villanelle so seemingly carelessly, after dangling the carrot of a fully realized and happy (if not somewhat dysfunctional) lesbian relationship in viewers faces. It didn't just feel like sloppy storytelling—it felt personal.”

thank you Vanity Fair for this public murder

there’s nothing profound about writing a character who’s near-suicidally devoted to taking down her enemies because she’s lost everything and then taking the last person she loves away from her and ending the show with her in anguish. there’s nothing groundbreaking about writing a character desperately struggling for agency & identity & to break away from the organization that abused her only to have her killed off in the process of destroying them, for shock value. and there’s certainly nothing new or fresh or clever about giving queer characters the tragic ending they were always “destined” to have, yet again. but whatever.

imagine creating a character as iconic as villanelle, being played by someone as brilliant as jodie comer, and not only giving her a shitty plotline but also making her die in the least decent and meaningful way.

Shock value deaths have always made me seethe when it comes to shows and I can’t believe that’s how they ended it.

If they wanted to kill them off, fine. But to do it like that? With literally less than three minutes in the episode? Even Konstantin had a respectable death. This one made no sense. They really cherished this character only to end her that quickly? What was the reason?

Also that “The End” sign literally felt like a fuck you.

in a way this pisses me off more than clexa bc this wasn’t even bc an actress was leaving the show or anything… this was a… choice… that they made… on how to end the show itself

i pray you quit overthinking, replaying failed scenarios, feeding self doubt & seeing the good in everyone but yourself you deserve more

Take a deep breath. Drop your shoulders. Relax your eyebrows. Drop your tongue from the roof of your mouth. Let go of all the tension in your body.

You're here. You're okay. In this exact moment, you are okay. Allow yourself to relax, even if it is just for a few seconds. You deserve some peace today and every day, and I hope you find that peace.

Remember to check in with yourself. See where you are holding tension in your body and allow yourself to let it go. Things will be okay 💛
