Summary
This is my way of saying goodbye to a show and characters that have really meant something to me.
For a lot of queer folks who grew up with a vacuum of affirming, non-toxic queer content there is still a teenager inside of us that is so hungry to be seen and see ourselves represented. Especially if you are bisexual: This is for you.
This is my take on what happens after the series ends. It spans many years and I will be flashing backward and forward. Future events will be written in present tense. Past events will be written in past tense. And the present? Well... it's a mystery!
This is a long journey. THERE IS A LOT OF ANGST. They have to cope with their own baggage, grow up a lot and learn to communicate. There is sex. The characters evolve over time. No one dies.
I wanted to write Casey as non-binary but didn't feel like I had the life experience to do that adequately so I lean into her bisexuality instead (since I do know about that.)
*** I just watched an amazing conversation Brigette had with Paperboy Prince about gender. Please check it out. Here’s the link: https://vimeo.com/630570909
