So did I! So I'm playing Queen Susan in another game with absolutely no intention of 'canon updatin

And Lexi said earnestly, "I'll always look out for you. No matter what. You are...you mean more to me than I can ever hope to say. And it was a little scary at first, but now it's...like second nature."

Dying to save the life of another? It wasn't a bad way to go, especially when the life being saved was your girlfriend. And Lexi was committed now, whatever weird shit happened, Lexi was by Luz's side.

As did Lexi. She'd spent way too much time pining over someone who'd never see her that way. Once she found someone who did, she'd rather eat broken glass than let Luz go. She loved Luz and Luz loved her. That was all there was to it, but so much more.

"I think so, too. Especially in the movie adaptation, they could've spent so much more time on what it meant to be a lesbian in that time period and how love did conquer all. And as I said, the bury your gays trope needs to be taken out back and shot. Like old yeller."

Lexi had actually read it on readcomicsonline. She didn't find it...fetishy, at least not really. And knowing that Alan Moore's own daughter was a lesbian helped her judge it more kindly. Maybe those were the types of bedtime stories she wished she had, as opposed to the compulsory heterosexuality of such tales.

"Oh, bullshit. People love you. They respect you. Deal with it," Lexi said with a smile and a laugh.

And Lexi said tenderly, "Funny, I was thinking the same about you. Oh well. Their loss is my present. Because you are a present, you're like all eight days of Hannukah and my birthday all at once." And she wanted Luz to believe it. That she was loved. That she was cared for. That she was worthy of love.

Lexi had considered it monumentally unfair. So Susan liked guys and makeup. That didn't make her a bad person. And the casual dismissal of her by who should have been her friends and family made Lexi see red.

"Luz. Noceda. I want you to know that I feel the same way. You're amazing and I'm completely devoted to you. I can't imagine living life without you being in it. Maybe that's foolish, considering where we are, but that's how I feel. I love you." And Lexi leaned in for a gentle kiss.

"See! Incentive! Like I'm trying to learn Spanish!"
