Even LGBT people are afraid to create LGBT rep half the time because you fucking goblins critique things with LGBT rep so harshly that the second it does something that you personally don’t like it gets treated even worse than the shows that have absolutely no rep in them.

Demonizing every show that is earnestly trying to provide the rep we’ve been lacking is NOT THE WAY TO GET BETTER REP

Remember when Dream Daddy was called homophobic because a horror-themed (and non-canon, might I add) ending was found in the game’s code? Like y'all go after everything that isn’t the most saccharine, unproblematic, nothing-bad-happens-ever shit and I’m so, so sick of it. This keeps us from getting LGBT+ rep that’s actually interesting and in interesting situations! I want actual stories, but I guess you guys don’t. You just want a perfect little picture to hang on your wall.

Treating all gay people as uwu soft beans is a form of homophobia in itself, and that’s the tea. Make problematic gay characters!! Give lgbt characters flaws!! Give them interesting, non stereotypical personalities!! We’re human, and humans are flawed by nature, so treat us as such and don’t get pissed because of it.

This is literally what we try to do, and we do get hate for it. Or when we try to include people in natural ways, we still get hate for “just throwing characters in there to check a box”. Our creative team are LGBT and we want so much rep, but we are also a horror show, that means LGBT people will be heroes, will be villains, will live, will die, but for anything that isn’t perfect and without conflict, we do get hate. It can be wildly discouraging.

If you are gay you absolutely need to listen to The Blood Crow Stories its so good and I’m dying with no one to talk to about it

thebloodcrowstories

If you need folks to talk to, there is a Discord server started by fans here:https://discord.gg/dehzvR7 Numerous cast and crew are also on this server and love talking to people!

Hi!! I absolutely adore your show and I just wanted to ask, for the songs you include in season 2, are they meant to be background music, or is there actual in-universe singing? I can see how the saloon songs would be in-universe, but how about solo songs like ‘lullaby’ and ‘Eleanor’?

Thank you for asking! It’s a bit of a mix! The saloon songs are definitely a thing, and since we were wonderfully sponsored by American Murder Song we decided to leave it a bit open as if those singers exist in this world. The only one that is specifically supposed to be in-world is “Lullaby” because of the sound effects in the song we wanted that to be the cart they hire for that scene. I hope that answers your question!- Ellie Collins

I personally cannot stand narratives where the protagonists have literally no real chance to overcome the antagonists, everything goes exactly as the antagonist plans hook line and sinker. It’s why I can’t stand Othello. It’s just so boring and sucks out all the suspense from the plot, removes any attachment I feel to the characters, snores. And that’s my problem here.

thebloodcrowstories

We are a horror show, which means overcoming the bad guy isn’t always the goal. However, every season we create is wildly different. The first season we said in the beginning everyone would die. The second season is an entirely different style. Third season is also an entirely different style. That includes the level of horror that we do, how many we kill, and what the final outcome is. We give our writers the ability to do wildly different stories each time and full understand that it will be rare for a person to like all 3 seasons due to the differences. Should you choose to stick around with us, we hope you find what you seek from other seasons. Season 2 involves a team hunting down a serial killer across the old west. Season 3, which is currently airing, is cyberpunk with demons. And the only common thread we have is the cast, as well as some minor references to previous seasons as easter eggs. We definitely understand that total character death is not for everyone. It’s why we don’t do it every season. So, again, should you stick around, we hope a different season is more your interests.

I started listening during the first season.

Ordinarily, I would quit on something that kept killing off queer characters, but (a) you say right up front that everyone on the ship is going to die, and (b) it wasn’t only the queer characters dying, and their deaths were not Queer Tragedy in any way.

I was pleasantly surprised by how many characters survived Season 2. OP, if you really aren’t in for something as bleak as the first season, go ahead and skip to the second season. I’m not sure I’d have the stamina for the first season now, honestly, if I were coming in fresh.

thebloodcrowstories

And we totally understand that. That’s why we formatted the way we did. We not only change what KIND of story we tell, but we change the INTENSITY. Some seasons will be rougher than others, and some seasons will be a bit more action with horror. Horror is a fun and wide varied genre and we have a huge range of what we can do. Every season isn’t Utopia, and every season isn’t Blackchapel, and every season isn’t The Neon Lodge. Bad things may happen to queer characters, but it’s because we are queer people wanting to see ourselves in a genre that hasn’t really had any actual representation. We want to participate in the horror which means sometimes we’re the heroes, sometimes we’re the dead, and when we die, we wanna make the deaths memorable, because that’s often what is the most memorable. When we have a list of potential deaths, not gonna lie, the queer characters that will die that season are going to get the coolest or biggest showpiece ones lol. Let the straight character get boringly written off for a change ;) (joking sort of haha)

You guys always say you want gay podcasts and good horror but have been sleeping on The Blood Crow Stories for LITERAL years when it has:

like, 14 bisexuals. Maybe even MORE

a poly trio per season (so like, two so far but they both so choice they all love each other so much)

An explicitly trans main character in season two who’s just… the best boy? The perfect son you’ve never had? Who has such a great arc and really comes into his own over the course of the season and we see him grow from this scared kid to a confident young man and I’m??

Aces! Oodles! Like, a character in season one is explicitly ace and still in a loving romantic relationship and yeah, we stan

Josie Valentine is here, she’s Asian, she’s queer, and she’s going to sing Beyond the Sea and steal your heart DIRECTLY from your chest and you’ll thank her for it

Picture this… three lesbians…….. married to each other…….running an all-lady wild west town………..sometimes they shoot bad guys….. Godless: A Netflix Original Series (2018) is shaking

The protagonist of season three is a black lesbian deeply in love with her blind long-term girlfriend, adores her gender-fighting robot children, and just wishes that demons would stop calling her on the phone to have her listen to them murder people. She’s Over It

We’ve cried over chickens. We’ve cried over silver bullets. We’re crying now because that EDM goes so hard

They actually got a Lakota actor to play a Lakota character in season two and he’s? The best? We all owe Wambli our lives everyone say thank you Ryan LittleEagle

If it ever gets too hard to listen to just remember: it’s a bunch of grown fools in Georgia standing in a tiny room, screaming very loud to make those good good sounds

s3 has an nb pop star named Prince$$ and they say FUCK

and that’s the real tea

morrithal

Did I mention that there was one (1) homophobe added for historical accuracy in Season 2 and he got um. “Shot down” might be an appropriate statement.

trashprinxe

The horror is actually freaky, none of the representation is tokenized, POC are PLAYED BY POC, the creators are also bi and poly.

TBCS is everything and it needs more love.

morrithal

We STAN Bi Poly Legend Ellie Collins and also #1 Ally, Scott Moore, fucking superb you funky little sound man

thebloodcrowstories

Ellie and Scott both say they love you so much
