finished watching Lesbian Space Princess 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
Decided I was interested in watching this after seeing online discourse, and while I was expecting a film that was generally mediocre that, at the same time, was too harshly treated, I instead came across a film that blew my expectations out of the water and left a mark on me as something truly endearing.
Lesbian Space Princess' humour is quirky, bizarre, and has an awkwardness that one can only find adorable and comforting. Things that would make people groan when taken on their own actually land much softer when taken in context of the film as a whole, where it's made clear everything is lighthearted and that even general messages it tries to convey are all meant in good fun with light teases rather than anything antagonistic and accusatory.
Every character that plays a major role in the story has their charm from Saira to the Straight White Maliens, Willow to Problematic Ship (clever word play!), and Kiki to Blade, all characters, regardless of their stance in Saira's story, are fun and enjoyable in their own way.
Outside of very minor, personal annoyances with the film, Lesbian Space Princess is generally a fantastic watch for those seeking a cute, comfy, and queer story.
