There needs to be a service like Does the Dog Die? but for "Do the Girls Get to Kiss?", because I am getting emotionally wrung-out by media that builds a "you're special to me, you make me so happy, I never want to be without you" relationship between women, but stops just short of actually canonizing it as a romance.
Like, it can still be a great story, but anxiety over "Are they going to let this ship sail?" legit saps my enjoyment and causes me to binge through things I might otherwise savor longer.
And a really specific culprit here is TV adaptations that stop short of what the books did.
Maybe we can call it "Yes They're Lesbians, Harold".
