What, now you know everything about me? Pretty much. The first couple of times we met, you wouldn’t stop talking. I know your life story.
ABBI JACOBSON as Carson Shaw and CHANTÉ ADAMS as Max Chapman in A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN (2022-)
Just finished a league of their own, and all I can really think to say is like…. THIS is what we mean when we say we can actually have realistic queer period pieces without exploitation and trauma-porn.
abbijacobson Didja know I’ve had the pleasure of knowing + loving this brilliant person for 15 years?! And that I got to make a show, @leagueonprime with her that airs on Aug. 12th?! 🥰
hey. hey look at me. I need you to look at me and listen to me:
A League of Their Own (2022-) is about queer women.
and I'm not talking subtext or one gay kiss or a dead lesbian. I'm talking about the overwhelming majority of the characters are queer women. even black queer women. even a black trans man.
I implore you to support this show. get a trial month on amazon or borrow someone's password to stream, boost the show on social media, do whatever it takes but please. please don't let this show fizzle out after one season into obscurity. it is finally a show about sapphics that is good and complex and both entertaining and emotional and it's about real history and it still said "we will make them all queer". at least let the world know there really is a demand for these stories. stop posting about that show you hate for killing the one queer woman or for being about lesbians but being really biphobic or racist and instead start posting about this one. please.
even if you don't like the show, do it for all the shows centering queer women and telling diverse stories that will follow if it's a success.
no thoughts head full of d’arcy carden in a league of their own (2022)
We can't have a single episode of PLL with no adult men interested in minors huh
I actually see this as them trying to do something positive and rectify the whole Ezria mess!
I mean, they are (one of) the most glaring flaws of the OG series, so it makes sense that the new show runners would feel a level of responsibility to portray the dangers of grooming, especially since most Original Sin viewers watched the OG as young teens and might have internalized certain messages about those relationships.
Tabby’s boss is explicitly creepy, and audiences would be hard pressed to romanticize his interactions with Tabby in the same way they did Aria and Ezra.
