Galway based quartet Telebox have shared the latest video for their track, ‘Glow’. The track comes from their EP, ‘When Night Turns Into Day’ which dropped in July. Talking about the EP, the band explain: “When Night Turns Into Day explores a vast plain of emotions felt by the band during their interrailing trip across Europe. It snapshots a series of little moments that would usually go…

so i've had this problem with ouat since approx halfway through the first season where regina basically became approximately 70% of the reason why i watched the show (the other 30% is meghan ory). largely because i give less than zero fucks about snow/charming and their painfully heterosexual true love nonsense and find them at best boring and at worst the worst example of 'good guys' ever whenever they're interacting with each other (nb i like snow with emma and ruby, probably because there are more ladies involved, but also because it's not the same repetitive we have to find each other story every other week). 

it helps that lana does better with the character than the writing and the show ever gives her credit for and ever really demands, and about halfway through the first season i basically started thinking 'i would not be sorry if you rid me of these boring characters forever' and i never really stopped thinking it. (i'm not typically one of those people who ~likes villains either, but i'm a sucker for a redemption arc, and though the show seemed to do its best to ignore it last season she was clearly on a redemption arc, so.)

so episodes like the one this week make me so angry because they just genuinely make me hate everyone involved except regina (and ruby who is saved because face, although it's getting to be a close call) and i just don't understand how these people are supposed to be the good guys? am i supposed to root for them? because i almost never do.

and like, if the show was going for some kind of fairytale deconstruction about how the good guys aren't really ~good i would be more than down for that but i just don't feel like they are. like there are possibilities here with the whole being an isolated town that no one can get in or out of and having to basically rebuild a society and the lack of laws and what have you but they just seem to gloss right over it. whatever snow and emma and charming do together is always so ~earnest and set up in such a way that i'm supposed to root for them because they are the ~good guys~ but i can't seem to find it in me to care. and do you know how i feel about fairytale deconstructions? there's a reason into the woods is one of my favourite musicals you guys but this isn't into the woods. 

Bomb Girls: There are lesbians in WWII or something. They might be in Canada? The important thing is that they’re lesbians. But it hurts. There should be more episodes.

Farscape: Han ships a het couple on this show, but one of them is an alien and one’s a human, I think. Also, lesbians, maybe? Also, it hurts.

OUAT: Lots of lesbians. Regina is the saddest thing ever. RED GAVE BELLE A LIBRARY, THOUGH. Seriously, though, kickass ladies, so.

Chicago Fire: There is a blonde/brunette firefighter duo who are lesbians. They look like grown up Brittana, but they probably don’t act like them. Also, friendship. But mostly lesbians.

BSG: Background lesbians and also aliens. Also, it hurts. One of the lesbians dies and I think she’s Han’s favourite character or one of her favourites, so angst. 

PLL: OH MY GOD, THE LESBIANS BUT MOSTLY PAIGE WHO IS A PRINCE AND IS JUST PERFECT AND SO INSECURE BUT ALSO QUIETLY BRAVE AND HER FACE IS A HUGE PROBLEM TO HAN BUT SHE IS PERFECT AND GOD.
