frankly fucking bizzare that the starlight writing team over the course of 40 years decided it was ABSOLUTELY VITAL to keep gr/ased/nah reuniting in the show presumably for the SOLE reason of sorrry being a little funny

#defanging greaseball didn't particularly help either #now it's just some woman defending her gross mean boyfriend like sure okay whatever #rambles #this isn't about f/f grea/edinah I fw f/f grea/edinah because it's unironically very different for a female character

it's pride month and I'm crying my eyes out over the gentleman jack ballet tour over in the UK they put women like me in a ballet. they put sapphics in a romantic ballet. if I could only tell 16 year old me who stayed up late at night searching up "two girls pas de deux" on youtube who always yearned for girls to dance on stage that way
