hot take: s1 of qaf is nostalgic and probs the campiest season which i love buuuut … i’d def rank it toward the bottom of my fav seasons bc i cant deal with the melodramatic brian and mikey show for 22 episodes :/ also! what are your fav seasons, ranked?

Hey anon !

Okay here's my ranking

Season 3

Season 2

Season 4

Season 1

Season 5

It seems we agree on Season 1 ranking low 😅

I mean there are episodes I love from here, straight off I adore the pilot it sets out the characters and their backstories perfectly and we get to see britin's story play out and be excited to see what comes next for them. One of my all time faves THE PROM, what can I say but scream incoherently about it, it's glorious from start to finish. We get all the previous episodes angst and the will they ? won't they ? culminate in the most beautiful display of love, and you think yes this is it, they're finally gonna be together and then BAM they hit you straight in the face with Justin's attack. Im not the biggest fan of Brian and Michael's friendship it irritates and frustrates me on both sides. But I guess as it's the opening season and a big story point for Michael throughout the show is his unrequited love for Brian it will feature heavily.

Coming as no surprise to anyone the holy grail, god tier, perfect from start to finish masterpiece that is Season 3. As any longtime fan will tell you this is britin's love story played out to perfection, we get the angst and heartbreak, gorgeous reunion, them so disgustingly in love and a powerforce criminal duo. Plus the best episode out of the whole show is 3x14 the election.

But yes that's my ranking, thanks for the ask !

Today, the founder of the Ku Klux Klan, Nathan Bedford Forrest, his statue is down on Broad Street, Gadsden. Those types of things have an impact on you, generation after generation. Dealing with the same issues, it breeds white supremacy. There is a silent supremacy. They don’t have to do anything or say anything, it has already done its job. —Vanessa Croft

As a child growing up in Alabama, Vanessa Croft often wondered why her Uncle Fred never came south to visit the family, like her other aunts and uncles did. It wasn’t until her dad shared with her the history of Fred’s journey from Alabama to New York in the 1930s that she finally understood. 

One day in the mid-1930s, a group of white men came to the Croft family’s East Gadsden, Alabama, home. Fred Croft was fifteen years old. One of the white men told Fred’s father, Thomas Croft, Sr., that Fred had pushed his daughter off the back porch and he wanted to see the boy about it. Fred was working in town, and the white men left with plans to return. Thomas Croft hurried to find his son and sent him away to protect him from being lynched. That fear was rooted in the experience of racial terrorism; years earlier, Bunk Richardson was lynched in Gadsden and his body was left hanging from the Coosa River train bridge for the entire African American community to see.

Fred Croft never moved back to Alabama after his near-lynching. His story left a lasting impression on Ms. Croft. “The racial terror has been embedded into you,” she shared. “And that’s the intention of any terrorist act, to invoke fear into a community.”
