1 and 9 for the ask meme :)
jude + síle from landing (which is a non-tragic lesbian romance and it is So Good please read it and everything emma donoghue has ever written tbh)
queer characters i wanna rescue from their bad narratives:
TARA MACLAY x 100000 tbh i feel pretty confident that whedon only killed her bc a - lesbians are best when they're tragic b - they got greenlit to put more kissing and sexualized romance for the lesbian characters and they wanted to replace amber benson with someone more conventionally sexy n attractive (compare the chaste kissing and elaborate allusions of willow/tara to the sexy makeouts that kennedy/willow had srsly)
piper chapman bc while she's an awful person, they treat her queerness so badly and also ignore the fact that her relationship with alex is 1000 person abusive which is upsetting on it's own but also because so many of the fans further sexualize it and domestic abuse in queer communities is criminally negelcted ok yeah
