When I started #BooRadleyVanCullen back in season one when I was writing for AfterEllen, I was just looking for a good way to watch this full-tilt bonkers show with some like-minded queer women. I had no idea that it would evolve into this revolutionary cultural thing where we talk to the show and the show talks back to us, where we form our own inside jokes with the people who make what we love to watch on TV, where we say “Tippi the Bird” enough times and she appears.
This season was a tricky one for me, and I wasn’t able to do these round-ups like I have done in the past for every episode. But tweeting with you was always one of the best parts of my week, and so to thank you for sticking with me through 12 more bananpants episodes, I’ve rounded up 100 of the best tweets of season 5B. (I couldn’t use your tweet if it had emojis in it. WordPress hates emojis.) I love you guys. I really do. Thank you for being the best.
