swim through the fires to stay in this world

I have lost the original comment, but someone was feeling demoralized about the lady of queer ladies on her screen, so I wanted mention that YOU NEVER HAVE TO ACCEPT LACK OF QUEER LADIES (OR DUDES) ON YOUR SCREEN, and also through out some queer lady recs:

Bomb Girls (two of the four main characters are lesbians)

Orphan Black (a reoccurring character is a lesbian, and she actually gets a really interesting romance)

This post with a fuckton of movies with lesbians.

The Arrow episode Heir of the Demon (with a couple quibbles).

Chicago Fire has a main character who is a lesbian.

I’d check out the Adventure Time episodes with Marceline The Vampire Queen and Princess Bubblegum (uncanon, but only because the network wouldn’t let the show go there).

There is also 2 Broke Girls, which skews more towards the 'queer-bait' end of the spectrum, but has some really slashy moments between the leads.

I was thinking about Marceline/Princess Bubble Gum and realized that it really reminds me of the (good) parts of Ivy Tamwood/Rachel Marianna Morgan, which was arguably my first femmeslash pairing. …and which the author totally ruined. Bitter over ships until the end of time, booyah*!

*that was a sarcastic booyah, fyi.

So I recently actually watched the episodes of Adventure Time (which is a show I know via tumblr gifs) that introduced Lumpy Space Princess (whose voice is TOTALLY NOT WHAT I HAD IMAGINED) and then the one which introduced Marceline (WHOSE VOICE IS MORE PERFECT THAN I COULD HAVE IMAGINED).

(Also, does anyone have that gif of Marceline going, 'I've seen some stuff that would make you go, "like what?"')
