I’ve wanted to be a film director/screen writer forever, and mark my words Im going to create a queer childhood best friends to lovers slow burn story that ACTUALLY doesn’t butcher both arcs of the characters and has a good ending.
genuinely fuck off because for people who claim to be film nerds they apparently don't know that the gay character getting rejected and moving on is a very overused trope in media with historical political connotations. what a mess.
i literally dont understand this. they confirm that he REALIZES that he was wills crush. WHY NOT SHOW US HE DID? WHY IS HE JUST STANDING STILL? why are we getting confirmation of stuff from INTERVIEWS. this is literally proof of how badly it was written.
they can use the word “f4g” and “queer” in episode 1 season 1 to describe will’s abusive father but they can’t use the word gay when he’s finally making peace with his identity
