I haven't been following this very closely, and I'm sure they have their justifications for it, but if the problem is that they wanted to include a female character but didn't want to do twice the work of converting their male lead into a female one, why didn't they just start with a female MC?

You can post in any GT thread and ask someone to share what you've written, or request posting rights in the once-a-month invite threads, fyi.

Yay, Jenna! I was literally just thinking about your great DIY posts the other day. What a nice surprise to see you back on Jez with one.

No, the can not.

I disagree. Tara's mother is a manipulative shit, and she was just jerking Tara around so she could get some protection from her. No ulterior motive beyond 'what's good for me'.

I would like to press my face against his face.

Not exactly a fun choice and one that would produce a completely tonally different show, but Buffy: Normal Again.

"Season 7: The First. Genderless, typically represented by Tara (female), but Nathan Filion's character (male) was the most visible supporter of the First."

Well, a 'true love right now' spell would have worked, so yes, exactly like grindr.

I literally just read that chapter yesterday — if you pick it up, it's chapter 'Crime', and there's a particularly devestating quote from Sure Klebold the chapter ends on. (They're not the only family in that chapter, but they are the most famous and I think the only parents of a murder that are profiled.)

He describes the Klebold's as the family, of all the ones he interviewed, that he would most like to be adopted into because they were warm, loving, and kind, and yet their son still planned and executed the…

The textiles here are pretty amazing:
