Happy pride month!!! To celebrate Pride, we wanted to sit down and talk about our favorite (and not-so-great) LGBTQ characters. How many characters will we headcanon as queer from Harry Potter? How much will we gush about She-Ra and Rick Riordan books? How much will we complain about HSMTMTS? Warning, mild spoilers ahead for She-Ra and every Percy Jackson book series, among other things, but those have more spoiler-y discussions. 

We are making this episode because if there’s two things America needs right now, that is sunshine and optimism. Also angels. This week, we (re)watched these episodes of Glee: "Vitamin D", "The End of Twerk", and "Puppet Master." How many brain cells did Eva lose? How many plotlines will Bijou explain? Will we be able to survive watching these episodes? All that and more answered on this brain-jumbling episode of Fluent in Fandoms!

BLAME IT ON CATH! This week, we're talking about the Simon Snow series and its related novel, Fangirl. Are Baz and Simon the only developed characters? Is this whole series just off brand Harry Potter? How great is the magic system? All that and more answered in this episode of Fluent in Fandoms!

Omigod you guys! Fluent in Fandoms is back! This week, we’re talking about the cult classic rom-com and its musical adaptation, Legally Blonde. Is literally everyone a Slytherin?
