Thank you, Noelle Stevenson, for giving Bow two dads.
But more importantly, thank you for showing us Bow has two dads.
They weren’t just mentioned in an offhand comment; “My dads told me to always be nice to people” then never brought up again.
They weren’t shown in just one scene; after a battle, everyone’s meeting up with their families, and it shows Bow hugging two men, and we assume “Oh! Those must be Bow’s dads!”
They had a whole episode and names and unique personalities- as well as traits Bow obviously picked up on, showing they’re positive role models. They were fleshed out as much as they could’ve been for just a couple of minor characters.
They teased each other and had cute little moments that made us laugh.
They had intimate moments that seem small, but speak volumes about their love for each other.
They weren’t written as mere representation. They were written as people. Two individuals who love each other and all 13 of their adopted children.
And even though it was just one 22-minute episode, it meant a lot to me. I’m not expecting them to have a large role on the show (because they are just Bow’s parents) but I am hoping that we get more episodes with George and Lance in the future.
ALSO I LOVED THIS MOMENT BECAUSE GEORGE THOUGHT HIS TATTOO SAID “LOVE” WHICH MEANS HE GOT IT FOR LANCE BUT THEN HE FOUND OUT IT SAID “LUNCH” AND LANCE IS JUST DYING
