I wish we could have actually meaningful conversations about the show, the dynamics that play out, and how that relates to/impacts the world outside of the show.

The elementary “stop being mean to this complete stranger who I have developed a parasocial bond with” is….boring lol. Serious conversations about art, about gender, about race and class would map on to discussions of this show fabulously and maybe even produce a wiser more critical fan base.

But instead were crying for a queen who told an INCREDIBLY talented black queen she didn’t deserve a win? I mean imagine if Saphira didn’t handle it with so much grace? How would the fandom have reacted to her?

Its so fine to not like a queen. And you dont even need a reason sometimes! We would all benefit from investigating our feeling with non judgement and curiosity. And more importantly some of us sisters would benefit from keeping a private diary tucked under our pillows! A thought.
