new recs for delaney
omg hi let me know if you have questions! my top recs are towards the top basically the top ten but they're all good so it doesn't really matter. oh and also i'm so sorry they're all straight except for one and that one isn't even canon but i've only seen a few and they're not very high production and kind of awkward(?) i don't know how else to explain it but that's supposed to be the vibe kind of and also i don't watch thai shows often which is where they've got all the gl shows. i know some lgbtq shows that people love but i didn't want to recommend something i haven't seen so yeah.
