° this is for the gays, honestly.

if i told you,,,,, that this entire list was made up of titles that had queer undertones/were mostly queer/fully queer canon,,,,, would you believe me on this first day of Pride in the year of our Lord 2022 (and every Pride after)

ships & pairings/characters with any of the above categories will be labeled! next to their respective dramas! bc y'all deserve to know what y'all are getting into! these are all my personal classifications that i've gathered, both from watching the titles mentioned like the chaotic bitch i am and speaking to others who have as well—pls feel free to disagree with some of my conclusions bc in the grand scheme of things they're probably not that important anyway

(also full heads-up that spoilers abound and not all of these have happy endings, the tragic gay trope may be present)
