[Meta] On THAT Parallel between Beth & Benny and Beth & Harry in bed by InnocentLookingKnight (HumiliatedRook)
Fandoms: The Queen's Gambit (TV)

Tags
Summary
tl;dr: There's a parallel, but the differences between them stand out to me SO much more than the similarities itself. The differences helped me realize I shipped Beth/Benny! Benny thinking about Beth’s chess is so INTIMATE compared to Beth lighting a cigarette and picking up a book to read post-coitus.

[Meta] On how Cleo and women were written in The Queen’s Gambit by InnocentLookingKnight (HumiliatedRook)
Fandoms: The Queen's Gambit (TV)

Summary
tl;dr: Of all the characters in the show, I struggle the most with Cleo. In my most sympathetic view, she is a victim of really meh and Beth-centric screenwriting, as in the writers tried to do a thing and failed.
