we NEED slow burn queer media im so serious
there are so many wonderful queer movies and series and we've come so far and ofc I appreciate that so so much but
we need SLOW burn like I'm talking 5 seasons and they finally get together
everything long term and queer seems to be queerBAIT and we are so used to that for some evil reason but wouldn't it be awesome if one of these queerbait dynamics suddenly became REAL
give me a 2000s style MAINSTREAM series that's been big for like a decade and then make them finally get together like give me SLOW burn
it would break the cycle guys it would break the cycle
cough stranger things could have been this cough
that's what queer romance books, especially sapphic romance books, are for, most of then are slow burns 💜
also, unfortunately, I don't think in the year of 2026 you can do a slow burn romance on any kind of TV show (no matter whether straight or queer) I mean 1) look at fucking Netflix cancelling shows after 1 season and 2) people don't have the mental capacity to focus that long anymore, they want instant gratification
