May 1May 1 Nice, will definitely try and do as many as I have answers for.favourite trans character: Lily Hoshikawa (Zombieland Saga)a well-handled trans anime character and her existence ended up boiling the piss of TERF MPs
May 1May 1 Great idea!Day 1: Favourite trans characterDennis/Denise Bryson from Twin Peaks, a minor role but it was treated with dignity and respect while just making her a detective that's great at her job that happens to be more comfortable as a woman.
May 1May 1 Day 1: Favourite trans character - Elle Argent (Heartstopper)Probably one of the more obvious choices but Elle is a really positive portrayal of a trans person in a show that's full of optimistic LGBTQ+ characters already. "Trans people aren't a debate" is a speech that's sadly growing more and more pertinent.
May 3May 3 Day 2: Favourite new TV show released in 2025: From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated!:
May 3May 3 Author Day 1: Favourite trans character - Elektra Abundance-Evangelista (Pose)Day 2: Favourite new TV show released in 2025 - CassandraDay 3: Favourite on-screen friendship - Dustin Henderson and Steve Harrington (Stranger Things)If anyone hasn't seen Cassandra yet, would highly recommend. German limited series on Netflix about an AI home (and you can probably guess how it goes). So, so good. And then Dustin and Steve's friendship in Stranger Things is just one of the most wholesome things ever imo, came from nowhere but just works so well, magic whenever they have scenes together
May 3May 3 Day 2: Favourite new TV show released in 2025The Studio on Apple TV+. Great skewering of Hollywood's shady practices and some great takes from directors/actors playing themselves.Day 3: Favourite on-screen friendshipMark & Jeremy from Peep Show. Toxic and completely terrible for each other, and wonderful for it x
May 3May 3 Author Good shout there with Mark and Jeremy @Chez Wombat I've been going back to Peep Show a lot recently just putting it on whenever I don't want to start something new and they'll forever be iconic!
May 3May 3 favourite trans character: Lily Hoshikawa (Zombieland Saga)favourite new show released in 2025: AdolescenceI think that's just because it's honestly the only 2025 new release I've watched so far. Good show though.favourite on-screen friendship: Julian Bashir and Miles O'Brien (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)Seven seasons of initial antagonism between the British-born young smarmy doctor and the Irish engineer that develops into a true buddy friendship through conflict and down-time, is always great to watch and is one of many reasons why the characters of DS9 are the best in Star Trek if not television.(peep show is also a legendary call)
May 3May 3 Day 1: Favourite trans character - Arun Parmar (Bad Girls)Day 2: Favourite new TV show released in 2025 - Battle CampDay 3: Favourite on-screen friendship - Jack & Karen (Will & Grace)
May 4May 4 Day 4: TV show you've deliberately avoided watching: DAN DA DAN I did want to watch the anime every week when it aired, but a certain annoying American AniTuber ruined my excitement so I put it on hold after 2 funny episodes .
May 4May 4 Day 1: Favourite trans character - Arun Parmar (Bad Girls)Day 2: Favourite new TV show released in 2025 - Battle CampDay 3: Favourite on-screen friendship - Jack & Karen (Will & Grace)Day 4: TV show you've deliberately avoided watching - Britain’s Got Talent
May 4May 4 Day 4: TV show you've deliberately avoided watching:Mrs Brown's Boys, do I need to explain why? x
May 4May 4 Author Day 1: Favourite trans character - Elektra Abundance-Evangelista (Pose)Day 2: Favourite new TV show released in 2025 - CassandraDay 3: Favourite on-screen friendship - Dustin Henderson and Steve Harrington (Stranger Things)Day 4: TV show you've deliberately avoided watching - Mrs Brown's BoysSnap Chez, no explanation required whatsoever I did end up watching it in the end (and was neither up or down about it) but for a while I'd have said Adolescence too. The mass hysteria around it and that BBC interview interrogating Kemi Badenoch about why she hadn't yet watched it, embarrassing. Everything just made me not want to.
