first kill is so funny like cal told her mom she staked a vampire and then her mom's like "well did she turn to ash?" and cal's like "...no" so her mom's like "....well, then that wasn't a vampire" and that is so fucking funny to me. imagine your kid just stabbed some random girl at a party and left and you're just like "ugh whatever we'll discuss this in the morning"

Talking more about First Kill and how the queerness is well written but the rest is “not” thus purposefully fulfilling the shitty teen tv drama niche but for gay ppl:
Lesbian main characters are BOTH main characters they get equal time devoted to their history, motivations, feelings, and family dynamics throughout the story
Calliope, Juliette, and Ben are already fully comfortable in their sexualities and their families are fully accepting and don’t ever question it or say anything even mildly homophobic, even the shitty relatives
Calliope: She is a black, darkskin lesbian that is not treated as a love interest but as a main character in love. She’s ADORED by her girlfriend. She’s framed to be gorgeous, intelligent, sensitive and kind by the narrative. She is also treated as the child she is by her family!
The Burns: relatively healthy, loving family, the kid from a previous relationship is still THEIR kid and brother, no one dies, they are NEVER villainized, they communicate with eachother, their love and devotion to eachother is apparent, they are actually all relatively fleshed out characters with distinct personalities and motivations
Juliette: she feels like an outcast and sort of is one, but that’s due to her own internal conflict and social awkwardness not any external conflict with peers who are kind to her!
Ben: he’s a star athlete/jock, but still emotionally available and kind, a stellar student, well liked, loyal, the lil communication game he has with Juliette??? Hello???
Small queer things: Cal being friends with her ex, Ben and Juliette dating and figuring themselves out and staying best friends, killing off the closest case jock that refused to meet Ben even halfway and kept disrespecting him, NONE of the characters experience homophobia, tentative respect from parents about their “monster” gfs
The lore exists and is very plot relevant. And its also interesting and poetic?
Basically, this show lacks horrible stereotypes and is therefore a lesbian teen drama made for the genuine campy fun of it!

first kill is my new favorite show because it had lines like “it was no match for the gods of olympus. so why would i be immune to the insanity of first love?” but also “did you eat…. my mother?” and that duality is camp

Someone on twitter said something like "Sarah Catherine Hook's face has been touched by the whole cast" And tbh they're not too far off:
Juilette just has a very cute squeezable face

first kill is a modern romeo and juliet with lesbian vampires that came out during pride month and if you dont think that’s exactly what william shakespeare would want, you have a vast misunderstanding of that man
