why is there a straight kiss in my toxic yuri

halfway through and i had my first yeah-that’s-not moment: i don’t think someone with absolutely no training could throw a spear that far lmao

i’m living for the sassy grandma coming back from the dead

i love them already

let’s go, alien space lesbians

"It looked more like group foreplay than a family reunion."
