Is emily in pretty little liars gay
One thing high college TV shows and long-game mystery TV shows have in common is a limited shelf experience. The actors on high school shows age out of looking like teenagers (in large part because they were probably in their 20s when they were first cast to play tenth graders), and audiences have limited patience when it comes to solving mysteries. Another thing those two types of shows have in common is the unlikelihood that they’ll be able to relocate past their early concepts. It’s rare for a beloved sky-high school show to make a victorious leap to college or beyond. And it’s just as unusual for audiences to get invested in a second long-game mystery, after the initial one has been solved.
The unique sexually self-aware dead blonde girl show, Twin Peaks, couldn’t sustain its momentum; and neither could its progeny, Veronica Mars. So it’s no surprise that Pretty Petite Liars, the heir to both of those series, struggled to find its way in season 6B, after unveiling the answer it had been wildly zig-zagging toward for six years, and aging its characters into adulthood.
What is surprising — shocking, actually; and deeply disappointing; and, frank

Picture this: First-year Shannon sitting in her rez room three years ago, gobbling down Smartfood popcorn by the handful, and completely engrossed in a show about four girls trying to escape the wrath of the mysterious figure… “A”. When one of her favourite characters got in a relationship, she cheered loud enough to startle her roommate. When said favourite character’s girlfriend died, Shannon cried for a half hour. Three years ago, I was dragged into yet another fandom… and now I’m assist to revisit the memories.
This week is going to be a fun one! Despite that depressing introduction. We get to receive a look at one of my all-time favourite fictional characters, the character Emily Fields from Freeform’s show Pretty Little Liars. Emily, an openly gay female, is one of the four main characters and her sexuality has been a part of her character since the first season: so let’s take a look at the journey Em has been on throughout the show, and how she represents the feminine side of same-sex attracted characters in contrast to last week’s post on masculinity and gay characters. WARNING: There are definitely some spoilers, including nature
A Femme Lesbian Done Right: Emily Fields of Pretty Little Liars
Hi! How is everyone? Battening down the hatches? Bracing yourselves for this bitch Irene? I understand I am.
I reflection in the meet of a instinctive disaster it might be nice to engage in some classic escapism, so let’s talk television! And instead of complaining about the pitiful representation of LGBT women, (like I usually do), we’re going to think positive and talk about the best lesbian on teevee right now:
Emily Fields of Attractive Little Liars.
(Don’t fret if you haven’t seen the reveal. There are no prerequisites, you don’t even have to take notes! I’m going to describe why she’s flawless, and then maybe you will wish to watch. I mean… look at her.)
Now, there are a host of pitfalls into which writers can and do stumble when creating a sapphic character, such as making her plummet for a guy, having her construct out for the pleasure of a male audience, making her a murderer, or having her killed, to call a few. But – so far, at least – Emily hasn’t been subject to any of those afflictions.
She’s had a coming out experience that was sensitively an
So last night on Pretty Little Liars, we restore to the series where we left off in August of 2010. As you probably don’t recall, because I certainly didn’t, Hannah got hit by a car after a makeup party in the woods that I consider she wasn’t invited to or something. There were boys in trees.
Most importantly, at the end of the first half of Pretty Little Liars’ season — two girls kissed and neither got slap by a car!
At last Pretty Little Liars is totally back. What happened this week with our default lesbian twosome of interest?
Just so you know, everyone in the cast is still very fresh-skinned and pretty looking, it’s like a Noxzema Commercial directed by Wes Craven or something. In Episode 111, “Moments Later,” the four girls gave each other a lot of very serious but also mildly stunned looks of apathetic horror while ominous music thumped in the distance. “A” was said at least 56 times. At least three of the male actors look almost identical to me. Allison shows up in a cute outfit to Hannah’s hospital bed but just when you think they’re going to play dead, she returns to heaven, which is like the
