forgive me if i sound repetitive but friendly reminder that Legacies isn’t worth watching only because of Posie (even though i would die for them in a heartbeat) and you should give it a shot and support it for an infinite list of reasons that i will try to sum-up in this post:

- Its wholesome, talented and diverse cast that deserves all the love in the world (only three actors are white and they couldn’t have been recasted because their characters already existed in the TVD universe)

- every single character is complex, flawed and well-written and by the end of the series you end up loving and wanting to protect an entire school of supernatural kids.

- a lot of importance is given to the role of therapy in a (supernatural) teenager’s life and talking about mental illnesses is never taboo. Lizzie is bipolar in canon and the way it is portrayed is realistic and respectful but there are also other characters that clearly show signs of depression, PTSD, ADHD ect. . Their mental illnesses, though, don’t define them and don’t stop them from being the heroes they can and want to be.

- the teenagers of this series are SO realistic and it’s just impossible not to relate to them but they also give you hope for a better future. They make a lot of mistakes and act like dumbasses most of the time but they also learn from their wrong doings and try their best to be better, to do better.

- male characters don’t fear being seen as vulnerable and they are shown crying numerous times during the season. Male friendships in Legacies throw toxic masculinity out of the window and are soft, delicate and wholesome.

- black male characters like MG and Kaleb destroy the harmful stereotype of black men being violent and aggressive and makes them two of the sweetest and most kind characters of the series.

- gender roles?? never heard of them. Male characters like Landon are the damsels in distress and female characters like Hope, Lizzie and Josie are the ones that save the world from eternal doom. Boys can be soft, delicate, gentle and in need of saving while girls can be tough, badass and snarky and viceversa, there are no ignorant prejudices that get in the way.

- heteronormativity??? what is that thing?? almost every character is LGBT (the four main witches are confirmed queer) and bisexuality/pansexuality and homosexuality are the norm in Legacies’ world.

- this show is full of feminist content that is well inserted in the dialogues without sounding cringey or forced.

- the concept of discrimination against supernatural people is continuously used as a metaphor for real discrimination in our world against minorities.

- the show is comedy gold, it’s absolutely hilarious and it will make you smile even on the worst of days, either for the funny or the soft and wholesome part.

- but also it will make you cry. but like. CRY.

- don’t worry tho because this show is different from TVD and TO and you can feel safe, it won’t be dark and painful as those two and people won’t permanently die (please Julie don’t betray me).

- the writing is really good, especially for a teen drama, and will keep you hooked and on the edge of your seat every time.

- the supernatural lore is extremely fascinating and complex.

- if you’re a multishipper this series will be your paradise because THERE ARE SO MANY VALID SHIPS OMG

- and then yeah there’s Posie, one of the most well-written wlw ships of all time if you ask me. They are the second main ship of the series and they had a fair amount of screentime this season. The complexity and intensity of their dynamic is absolutely breathtaking and their story so far has been developed in the best way possible. It’s angst, yeah, but it’s GOOD and WELL WRITTEN angst.

so yeah, in conclusion, Legacies deserves so much more hype and support and y'all should do better than sleep on it just because it’s a CW show.

The writers are doing such a great job and they want to do even better in terms of representation so, do you want better representation?

GO WATCH AND SUPPORT LEGACIES

(and no, watching only Posie scenes on youtube is not enough)
