This Lesbian Ship is Intense

Juliette just wants to fall in love and Calliope just wants to fulfill her duty. First Kill is breaking the mold both in front of the camera by centering it’s ethos on the love between two teen lesbians and behind the camera as it features an incredibly diverse creative team. So have some fun with us as we recap starting at episode 1.

After general reactions to the show and it’s place in the lesbian zeitgeist ep discussion starts at 18:03

Ismail gets thrust into their hell week, having conflict with almost everybody - Ismail bails on Kieu My during the waffle fundraiser, throws Zoe's relationship with Finn into the spotlight, leaves Sascha hanging and places the blame on Lou and Constantin (who, Isi should rightfully be mad at after that kiss). With all of this conflict, I'm hoping that we'll begin to see greater introspection, growth, and responsibility for Ismail. But until then, we do have one beautiful moment between Ismail and Umut to tide us over.

Things come to a head with the unholy trio creating some tension between Constantin and Ismail until a kiss with Lou answers everyone's questions about Ismail's feelings about her. One issue resolved, but Ismail is still trying to figure out who they are and how to be that person without losing those they love.

Honestly, does Ismail even know who they are? We're three weeks into Druck season 7 and still feeling really lost as to who Ismail is as a person, their desires, motivations, etc. Is this intentional? Because Ismail doesn't know who they are themselves or is the change in the writer's room playing out disastrously this season? One thing stays the same, though and it's that Kieutou, cutest couple ever, keep feeding us in their IG stories

The Sascha and Lou show? Where are are old favs, like Nora? And what about Kieutou?! This episode, I dive into S7E2 of Druck and try to decide if the change in writers has the show feeling off, or if maybe they're being a little more intentional than we're giving them credit for.

Druck is back! I am ready to collect my Kieutou crumbs and dive into the Insta Group with our new main character, Ismail. We are introduced to two new characters, Sascha and Lou, who look like they'll play an important role in Ismail's storyline. I hope this will also include addressing the bullying history with Ava. The Halloween party delivers more than I could have expected and I just have to thank Sira and Nhungi for looking out for the lesbians.

We cover some ground talking about some current lesbian shit— Jojo Siwa making a difference on DWTS; Druck is back (+ Kieutou) !!!; and the Gini obsession sweeping the nation. Plus a goodbye from one of us (for now).

This episode we’re talking about the fear street trilogy and the gay horror of it all. As usual we have differing opinions along the way, but agree on what truly matters - the love of it all.

We’re doing what we do best: talking shit about lesbian ships. In this special episode, we talk a little bit about everything instead of a whole lot about one thing. We preview The Bold Type, Betty, and more!

It’s season finale of Druck—finally! Fatou decides to take a leap with Kieu My and reaps the rewards. We discuss our many feelings about the show and saying goodbye, as well as the major themes that resonated with us throughout Fatou’s season.
