Eating in is nice, but every once in a while, going to a restaurant he really enjoys can demonstrate just as much consideration. Plan a picnic lunch, or make reservations at his favorite restaurant.Then you can cook him breakfast in bed the next morning. If the relationship is new and you have never cooked for him before, inviting him over for a home-cooked meal will be a nice surprise, regardless of what you make.Preparing his favorite dinner is a nice treat no matter how long the two of you have been going out. It's probably true for many people, though, guy or gal. If I were one of the many people who have “sorry baby x” tattooed on them in Villanelle’s handwriting, I’d be hastily planning a cover up, maybe something with more meaningful representation.You know the saying: the way to a guy's heart is through his stomach. Never again can it be watched with pride or hope because we know the end. In essence, destroying Villaneve’s relationship has in turn destroyed the whole show for a queer viewer. If Killing Eve had been centred around a straight couple, they definitely would’ve got to drive into the sunsetĪnd what even is the overall message of the show? That queer women shouldn’t explore their identity or get into relationships or they’ll die? That we don’t deserve a happy ending? Either way, it feels very negative, especially in the knowledge that if Killing Eve had been centred around a straight couple, they definitely would’ve got to drive into the sunset. However, it all feels like empty hope and an attempt to soothe the feelings of disappointment and betrayal the show left us with. Others are praying that she appears in the upcoming sequel centred around Carolyn. Online fans have been speculating that this wasn’t the last ever episode, and Villanelle will be shown to have faked her death to be with Eve in a surprise episode, just like in the books.
Like many other fans, I’m still clinging to the idea that Villanelle is alive.

Killing Eve trail-blazed before the likes of Gentleman Jack and Feel Good in presenting us with queer main characters on mainstream TV channels, only for this representation to be heartlessly annihilated when it had finally amounted to something. However, it was empowering to see an openly lesbian couple confidently dominate our screens as titular characters, especially on a channel like BBC. It has long been accused of queer-baiting with it’s will-they-won’t-they cat and mouse game never quite amounting to them so much as touching each other, never mind addressing Eve’s sexuality. Killing Eve’s queer representation wasn’t perfect throughout the show. We literally waited four whole seasons for that! The show left me with disappointment and a feeling of betrayal This betrayal was made even worse after only seeing a couple of scenes of her and Eve as a couple earlier in the episode. However, where Dani’s death in Bly Manor felt emotional and fitting to the plot line, coming after we see her and Jamie live many happy years together as wives, Villanelle’s felt like a stab in the back. With Villanelle falling in the water after being shot, the show has a very similar end scene to fellow queer drama The Haunting of Bly Manor. Villanelle was shot to death, for absolutely no reason other than to add unnecessary shock value.
However, after a very rushed battle with The Twelve, who we unsatisfyingly never actually see, and the romantic reunion of Villanelle and Eve, there it was- the “bury your gays” trope. Yet I still expected a happy ending for “Villaneve,” like that in the books written by Luke Jennings. Many fans are even petitioning for Waller-Bridge to rewrite the finale. It’s arguable that the show went downhill after Laura Neal took over from original writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Villanelle’s death felt like a stab in the back The trope features in shows like The 100, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and even Coronation Street, yet I expected so much more from Killing Eve. This is the idea that queer characters are more expendable and rarely get a happy ending, with one or both parties in the on-screen relationship ending up dead. The show, which has been praised by so many for its queer representation, crushingly resorted to TV and film’s classic “bury your gays” trope. The Killing Eve finale was released on Sunday night, and like many of the show’s fans, I was left disappointed with its ending and actually, a bit pissed off.
