gabby, april, stella, and now kevin. him leaving cpd right as his character is getting ready to be a father is actually breaking my heart. the other three had miscarriages which makes their situations different, but it’s so sick to think that we won’t get to see kevin be a dad.
Sucks that “they are best friends” gets used so often to dismiss indications of romance between LGBT pairs in media because often I think they ARE best friends and they’re ALSO in love
Finding your kidnapped bestie-coworker (that you're secretly pining for) half dead and almost being too late save them is THE procedural drama romantic microtrope , I fear
I really do think publications should steer clear from culture pieces about fandom unless they're going to genuinely get into the material harm it can do to real people (who are almost always marginalized) instead of gawking and pointing fingers at how women engage with fiction
