#its been a wild month ofmd fans but i think i'll be showing myself out soon

This has been a really tough year & a half for me as a lover of queer shows. First, it was the cancellations: First Kill, ALOTO, Willow, and ROTPL. Then it was Willow and ROTPL being erased. Now, it's what the writers did with OFMD (spoilers ahead)

OFMD season 2 was such a good season, it was perfect, and we had the most incredible scene with Calypso's birthday. They gave me the perfect Izzy Hands. And then, 2 episodes later they rip him away from me and then have the other character's just move on like it was nothing? I know they're pirates but that's not the pirates I've come to love

Obviously some ppl applaud the writing but it's left me feeling dead inside. The pure queer joy they gave us with episode 6 Izzy Hands meant so much to me and then they just killed him and forgot about him. I'm not sure yet if I'll watch season 3 without Izzy but I for sure will never forgive the writers for what they did to him

At least I got Bottoms, but it doesn't even come close to filling the hole in my heart. I feel like I can't afford to watch queer shows anymore and risk falling in love with characters that inevitably get taken away from me

I know there's plenty of shows out there with queer content that I can watch, but the problem is I want to watch my comfort shows. Especially when a show like Willow so fundamentally changed my brain chemistry, everything else pales in comparison to it. I just want my silly little queers back, but I guess that's too much to ask
