let's talk about El's queercoding because her calling women pretty was crazy and the first time she saw couples was on tv which were all straight so she probably thought that's what she was supposed to be, Millie said that in s5 El will figure out who she is without anyone else. so is she a lesbian? pansexual? idk but she's a sapphic
also the "try before you deny" in s4, Mike didn't want to try the pizza and called it blasphemous because he grew up in a conservative and homophobic town (but when he tried it he actually said it was good, when the camera panned back to Will) while El grew up in a lab so she doesn't have any internalized homophobia or bias and she tried it without complaining and said it was good

originally in the script El was supposed to be the one holding her girlfriend in her arms :( she will get to do that when Max wakes up
