I miss hearing “I love you”

Before I fall asleep

I miss hearing you start to snore

I miss falling asleep to the way you breathe

I miss the way we’d wake up

I’m always the first one up

Then you wake up hours later

And even miserable, but I’m with you, so it’s somehow still fun

I miss waving you bye

On your way to work

I miss waiting for you text

I miss trying to fold your shirts

I miss our dogs and our cat

But they’ve probably moved on to

You’ve moved on too,

But not me, I’m still in love with all of you

I miss the family we had

It’s the family that I always wanted

Now I’m back with the one that abused and used me

But it was me who was the one who started

I fucked up

And I know that I did

But I miss how we’d talk about things

How we’d talk it out and then forgive

I miss talking about light things

But also the deep things too

I miss not just talking about us

But the things we’d like to do

I miss the way we’d make plans

Plans, I actually looked forward to

Sure maybe I’d be miserable

But it’d somehow still be fun because I’d be with you

Because even if I’m depressed

Or hanging on the end of my rope

I am still having fun

Because with you, I still had some hope

Hope that life was beautiful

Of wander and magic and bliss

And I knew that for a fact

From the second we kissed

From the second our eyes met

I was already in love with

But it’s true what they say

That love just isn’t enough

MATEO CHIARINO Hawaii (2013) dir. Marco Berger

[lgbtpopcult]

What cool WLW projects do we know are coming in 2024?

Drive-Away Dolls

Arguably the most important representation of the year comes from a movie directed by one of the Coen brothers. Ethan Coen directs this wacky comedy that is very much in style for him.

Synopsis:

This comedy caper follows Jamie, an uninhibited free spirit bemoaning yet another breakup with a girlfriend, and her demure friend Marian who desperately needs to loosen up. In search of a fresh start, the two embark on an impromptu road trip to Tallahassee, but things quickly go awry when they cross paths with a group of inept criminals along the way.

Lost Records: Bloom and Rage

A game had to be added to this list and here it is, the best one. From the creators who gave us Life is strange. Lost Records: Bloom and Rage tells the story of four friends who experience a transformative summer in 1995. After 27 years of no contact, Nora, Swann, Autumn, and Kat are reunited by fate and forced to confront the long-buried secret that made them agree to never speak again all those years ago. From the teaser alone it is obvious at least two of them dated.

Pluto

A Thai gl from GMMTV, known for its successful Thai dramas. The story is the telenovela cliche we've always wanted. Two girls in love. One gets in an accident and her twin takes her place to find out who was behind her accident, the other girl is blind. The twin has to fake being the real one so has to be in a relationship with the blind girl and of course falls in love with her. Match made in fanfic heaven.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

It was announced so long ago people are getting frustrated. However, with both a writer and a director now attached to the project, and the strikes over, we have every reason to believe we will finally get to see the hit novel, that centers the love story between two closeted Hollywood actresses, come to life. Whether you loved the novel or were indifferent and didn't see what the fuss was about, it is a very successful wlw romance and we want to see it on screen!

The Paying Guests

The director that brought us Carol adapting a book by the author of Fingersmith? Yes please!

Speaking to Indiewire, Haynes revealed he’s developing an adaptation of Sarah Waters’ 2014 novel The Paying Guests. “It’s a three-part limited series that would need to be a British production, but it’s a really great novel.” Set in post-WWI London, the drama is part lesbian love story and part murder mystery following a down-and-out widow and her daughter, the latter taking up a relationship with one of their lodgers. Waters also wrote Fingersmith, which was adapted into The Handmaiden by Park Chan-wook.

NCIS Hawaii season 3

One of our favorite pairings of last year, Kate and Lucy are the main couple of their show and they carry it well. They look good together, have progress and evolution in their relationship and have fun working together.

The Secret of Us

Thai channel CH3 is expected to hit us strong with this Thai gl. CH3 is big in Thailand so this one is a big deal. The story is the typical exes meet again trope and it's magnificent. It centers Doctor Fahlada, nicknamed Doctor Angel. She is trying to hide the pain after being abandoned by the woman she loved. But then...by chance that woman comes back into her life.

Whisper Me a Love Song

Our resident anime entry has to be Whisper me a love song. Based on a manga it is the story of Himari Kino. On the first day of entering high school, Himari Kino "falls" for her senior, Yori Asanagi, whom she watched singing with a band at the welcome party for new students. When Himari confesses her admiration to Yori, Yori misinterprets Himari's feelings as romantic love. However, before Yori realizes, she comes to fall for Himari anyway, and promises to win her affections for real.

Bad Sisters season 2

Bad Sisters is one of the best reviewed and hilarious shows on this list. Coming back for a season 2 was inevitable. Bibi, the lesbian sister, will keep entertaining us in 2024.

Station 19 season 7

One of the most enduring shows and wlw couples on TV are coming back for a season 7! That is a lot of seasons but Maya and Carina do still have that spark.

About Galaxy The Series

Part of the gl renaissance that is expected to go full force next year, this series is already hugely popular among Asian romance fans.

Synopsis:

‘About Galaxy’ is based on author Zezeho’s yuri of the same name, with a Thai title of “มูลค่าดาวล้านดวง”. The story revolves around Hong Yok, a designer who has a big scar on her face which led her to hide away from the public due to her inferiority complex. But something changed in her life when she met Note, a woman she was measuring clothes, and realized she is the same person who gave her that huge scar! However, despite the incident, she doesn’t outright despise her, and instead… feels safe. What will happen to the two women?

My Ex-Friend's Wedding

Kay Cannon ("Blockers") will direct from a script co-written by Taylor Jenkins Reid? Staring a group of friends trying to stop their friend from getting married? And one of them is queer? We're all in!

Arcane (Season 2)

It seems like forever since we first watched Arcane but we're definitely looking forward to season 2. Needs no introduction.

Dream the Series

We already have enough Asian dramas in this list but we couldn't leave out one of the most anticipated gl, Dream. The story is that of a woman that sees a girl in her dreams every night only to meet her in real life. While in real life they are friends in her dreams they do much more. She thinks her friend doesn't know about that what she doesn't know is that she also remembers everything they do in their dreams.

Harley Quinn the Animated Series season 5

Another season of our favorite criminal duo Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy? Yes please and thank you. These two, and this particular iteration of them, might be the best representation American television has ever given us.

Chaser Game W

Chaser Game W is the first gl produced by TV Tokyo so it has a historic significance for the advancement of representation for queer women in Japan. First episode airs January 8. Based on manga series "Chaser Game" written by Hiroshi Matsuyama & illustrated by Yukitaro Matsuyama

The story:

synopsis: Itsuki has been working in the "Dynamic Dream" game company for five years and is now appointed as the lead for a big Japanese-Chinese collaboration project, which she is fully motivated to work on. However, it turns out the Chinese company team is led by her ex, Fuyu, whom she one-sidedly broke up with back in university! After breaking up with Fuyu, Itsuki never dated anyone else and chose to focus on her work, all while not coming out to her family and coworkers... But when her ex-girlfriend suddenly appeared in front of her, her feelings immediately started to sway. Meanwhile, Fuyu always resented Itsuki for breaking up with her without saying why. She takes charge of the project and pushes impossible tasks onto Itsuki. While Fuyu plots her revenge, Itsuki is rekindling her unrequited love. What will the outcome be for these two opposites?

Vigil season 2

The first couple of episodes of Vigil season 2 will technically be shown in December 2023 (in the UK only) but we'll basically be able to watch it beginning 2024 and we're looking forward to it!

Several upcoming TV shows and movies have cast actors that make it obvious they'll have lesbian and bi characters but until we know whether the representation will be enough to be worth watching we're holding off on making that other, more elaborate, list.

Here are some witchy things you can do to help the shambles of the world rn:

- performing spells to diminish the power of Republicans, conservatives, terfs etc

- preforming good luck spells for Hawaii and healing spells for the people the fire has effected

- performing healing spells for the lgbt+, poc, etc communities

- watering your plants while reciting healing and protection spells to combat deforestation

- NOT BURYING PLASTIC/GLASS FOR SPELLS!! Don't bury things in glass/plastic/ other non-eco friendly bottles or jars or anything else!

- Also don't put those things in the sea/rivers/lakes!!

- make bracelets/necklaces/other things (if that's a thing you're interested in, you could buy them [or just not do this ofc, this isn't a list of requirements lol]) and charm them with healing/good luck/protection and donate them to homeless shelters or other places

- charm anything you donate honestly

- put protection spells on animals/bugs/plants you find!

I'm sure there's more but these are all I can think of rn. Again, this isn't a list of requirements it's just a thing I thought of while researching ways to help the environment. I wish you lots of luck with your endeavors!

[possumcorpse]

The only gender affirming clinic on Hawai'i is barely getting by and is in need of help! They've reached their goal, sure, but more funding will keep the clinic running for hopefully many years to come!

If you could make a donation, or even just spread the word and reblog or share anywhere else that'd do wonders! ♡

A PLACE IN THE MIDDLE (2014) dir. Joe Wilson & Dean Hamer Eleven year old Ho'onani dreams of leading the hula troupe at her inner-city Honolulu school. The only trouble is that the group is just for boys. She's fortunate that her teacher understands first-hand what it's like to be 'in the middle' - the ancient Hawaiian tradition of embracing both male and female spirit. Together they set out to prove that what matters most is to be true to yourself. (link in title)

[okoninjah]

My lips still belong to her

They’re stained with the touch of hers

I miss the days we couldn’t stop kissing

Now we’re not even together

My heart still beats in her direction

Looking for a place to land

But there’s no ocean in Montana or Vegas

There’s no room for me to stand

I miss when we couldn’t go hours without speaking

We missed each other that much

I know you’ve moved on

But sadly, I am still in love

[flurry-of-beaus-pop-pop]

Literally never getting over Kate Whistler mounting Lucy (in the workplace) and then being so distracted by Lucy that she forgets that she needs to get off of Lucy so she can answer her phone.

Literally never getting over Kate and Lucy's casual workplace flirting in front of their team.

Literally never getting over Lucy pouting because she just wants to keep kissing Kate, but Kate wants to study.

Literally never getting over Lucy's look of pure heartbreak at the thought that Kate might not feel like she can open up to her because Lucy wants nothing more than to just be there for Kate.

Literally never getting over Lucy being absolutely terrified for Kate to the point where Jesse and Kai are actively reassuring her in the middle of a chase.

Literally never getting over the smile on Lucy's face when she hears Kate's battle cry and knows her girl is fighting back.

Literally never getting over Lucy calling Kate "my love".

Literally never getting over Kate wanting to go back to the gym with Lucy because she was so turned on by it and Lucy not wanting Kate to change her hair back quite yet because she is turned on by brunette Kate.

But most of all, literally NEVER getting over Kate Whistler making sure that Lucy knows that she changed everything for her and made her feel like she can open up again, something she never thought she would have after Noah's death.

Seriously, this show and these writers are absolutely knocking the Kate and Lucy content out of the park and I can't wait to see where they go next
