WILLOW l S01E05 - “Wildwood” 

Jade… all I care about is you. And if you wanna come here, after we find Airk, to live, I would tag along. If that’s okay. ‘Cause I don’t wanna have any adventures unless they’re with you. I should’ve told you that sooner, you know? And for that, for everything, I’m so sorry. Alright, uh, what did you wanna say?

“As a queer woman, playing a queer character.” - Erin Kellyman, Willow Behind The Magic.

Do you know how refeshing it is to have actors that understand what it’s like to not see yourself in something?

I love Erin and Ruby, because they get it they know how much these characters mean to us.

To take the classic ‘Knight get’s the Princess’ trope, and to make it gay.

As Erin said, if she had these character’s when she was younger, it would have made it easier for her to understand the feelings she was having.

All of us that have struggled to figure out what we were feeling could have done with character’s like Kit and Jade, who don’t question that their feelings are for another girl, that are never shown it’s different to Boorman and Scorpia, or Sorsha and Madmartigan.

To have had that when I was 13 would have made a lot of things clearer a lot sooner, and I am so so so glad that young kid’s can look at these character’s and see themselves.

Kit, who isn’t a typical princess, she’s not girly. She has short hair, and prefers to be swordfighting than getting dressed up for a royal function.

Jade, who by all account’s isn’t a typical knight, she’s not a guy. But that doesn’t stop her, she’s never told that she can’t train, just that an elite group might not accept her to train with them, but they do.

For myself, I see myself in both Kit and Jade. I was never girly, I would rather be rough housing with the boys, climbing trees, playing football, always prefered short hair.

On the rare occasion I would play a game that involved princess’s and knights, I was always a knight rescuing the princess.

So to finally see me on screen, yes as two different people, but that’s me! That’s amazing. I’m 28 years old so to finally see that.

Kit and Jade will always have my heart. They will always be special to me.

Disney can never take them away from us. I’m sure I’ve said this before, but even if we don’t get anymore of them, if we don’t get season 2, Disney can’t ever take away the first lesbian princess, and her lady knight.

Kit and Jade will always belong to us. They will always be there for us to show to young kids. To show that diversity and representation.

Willow (2022) - 1x02

"Nothing I've ever wanted has come naturally to me." "What did you want?"

I wish I had Kit Tanthalos as a child. I wish I could have sat on the sofa with my mum and dad and watched as a Disney princess was the one doing the rescuing.

I wish we could have watched together as Kit and Jade navigated their relationship from best friends in love with each other but scared to say anything, to admitting to each other how they feel.

I wish we could have seen people notice the relationship between Kit and Jade without telling either of them that it was wrong, or not allowed.

Boorman clocks that there’s something going on in episode one, and all he does is give a little smile, raises an eyebrow and nods towards Jade and Kit sleeping close to each other, he never says that its wrong or that it wouldn’t ever work.

Elora give’s Kit advice on what to say to Jade, she calls Kit out on how she’s behaving, because everyone can see that there is something to Jade and Kit, but again, Elora never says its wrong, she encourages Kit to be brave, to talk to Jade about how she feels.

Willow calls Jade out on the real reason she’s willing to throw herself off a cliff. It’s not for Tir Asleen or Sorsha, it’s because she loves Kit, and she protects Kit. He says it with a smile on his face, and yeah Jade looks embarrassed to be called out on her feelings at first, but knowing there’s no negative impact coming, she embraces it.

So yeah, I wish I had Kit Tanthalos as a child. Because I could have seen myself on my screen so much sooner than I did.

Any media I had as a child that showed love between two women, was either in the light of its wrong and they had to hide who they were, or one or both of them ended up being killed in the end.

I am so so happy right now that little kids can watch Willow (2022) and see themselves on the screen, in a positive light as well.

Thank you for giving us Kit Tanthalos, and Jade Claymore, and letting them be in love and it not be shown as something they have to hide from anyone.

i went into watching willow completely blind, so i had no idea there were lesbians… i will never forget seeing the way kit and jade looked at each other, and me going “they are totally gay” and then them Actually being gay. LIKE?? the feeling of shock and excitement when they kiss later in the first episode . its so rare to have something like that..

[cristypical]

Get yourself a girl who looks at you, the way Kit and Jade look at each other
