apparently disney+ made a stargirl movie in 2020 and it’s strange i didn’t know about it until searching “lgbt” on disney+ (since netflix apparently has, count ‘em, zero live-action yuri series) which is a whole other can of worms bc unless they adapted the (still perfectly good) story for modern times the only thing lgbt about it is that it follows a girl who’s not scared to look weird. speaking of which

this is how they styled stargirl in the movie. and yeah it’s a little out there and i don’t really remember how her outfits are described but times and styles have changed enough since the early 2000s that teenagers who look like this are everywhere. at a more conservative school yeah maybe there’d be nobody with this cardigan but if i saw this girl on the street i’d just be like aw i love gay kids

#which again ties back to how stargirl /is/ a very queer narrative but why would that be the first search result when there's actual lgbt #stories #did she play uke in the book? or did they add that to be relevant to the times?#either way . everyone plays ukulele now #the reason i was looking for yuri dramas specifically is bc last friday i stumbled on a random bl drama on netflix w a silly premise #it was pretty short (and silly) so i just finished watching it and like...it was interesting...but also so clearly bl for girls #in shoujo romance for girls the female protagonist is like a touchstone to keep things grounded and relatable #but since both of the guys were supposed to be appealing to the female viewer they were both like very woobified #the whole show was very sweet i'm not saying it's bad but it was definitely gratuitous #so i was like okay enough bl let's watch some girls in love #but nothing came up :(#i know there's been more sapphic kdramas lately and there are all the typical casual yuri anime #and i know japanese yuri dramas must exist but i guess on an audience demographics level i see why there's less of them #i just wanted to get jpn pracitce out of watching girls in love :(#personal
