god bless this mess (i'm talking about myself)

We see the EARP mailbox, carefully placed by Doc Holliday – yes, the Doc Holliday – shining in the moonlight. We pan down to see – there’s another name on the post, carved into a wooden board, lovingly, but in Wynonna’s blocky handwriting: HAUGHT. And below that, another sign in flowery, colerful letters. Classic Waverly. It reads: “Everyone is welcome” And they are.

i know i usually keep my commentary to the tags, but this is the reason why i started watching the show. it was at the time where too many characters of what little representation we had were still being killed off for ‘shock value’. i’d also stopped watching other shows that were queerbaiting because it just hurt too much. i couldn’t keep going there, it was all too much. 

i stumbled across one article of an interview with emily and decided to read it, i mean i was already familiar with her previous work. and what i wasn’t expecting was for her to ruin part of her own season finale before it aired by saying she wasn’t going to let that trope happen on her show. and that single interview was what convinced me to watch it. i don’t care if it’s not a perfect show (point to one that is), it was the safety i desperately needed at that time, especially with things happening in my own life.
