This week on Okay Diva, we're diving deep into romance tropes — specifically the ones that live rent-free in queer cinema and absolutely wreck us emotionally every single time.Brock and I break down our favourite love story archetypes: forbidden love, enemies to lovers, childhood friends to lovers, the slow burn, the miscommunication chaos, and everything in between. We talk which tropes hit different in queer storytelling, which films execute them perfectly, and why some romance clichés just work when done right.From classic LGBTQ+ cinema to modern queer love stories, we're ranking, roasting, and romanticising the narrative patterns that make us cry, scream, and believe in love again (even when we shouldn't).🎭 Romance tropes decoded💕 Queer cinema deep dive🔥 Forbidden love vs enemies to lovers debate✨ The diva guide to love storiesWhether you're a hopeless romantic or just here for the discourse — this one's for the girlies who've rewatched their comfort queer romance 47 times and still aren't over it.Like, comment which romance trope is your Roman Empire, and subscribe if you've ever ugly-cried at a slow-burn payoff.#RomanceTropes #QueerCinema #LGBTQFilms #OkayDiva

Happy New Year divas 🎆
Episode 31 is our official New Year reset — which means goals, aspirations, pop culture predictions, and a terrifying amount of confidence.

This week, Brock and I sit down to talk what we’re manifesting for the year ahead, the films and music we’re already emotionally invested in, and the artists we’re betting everything on for 2026. Vision boards were implied. Delusion was confirmed.

We also debut a brand new segment: Diva Takes — where opinions are shared freely, consequences are ignored, and friendships are briefly put at risk. I floated a wildly unserious, obviously fake hypothetical that absolutely should not be taken seriously. Brock responded by condemning war (as he should) while simultaneously finding time to compliment people I consider spiritually evil. It spiralled. I was scared. He gaslit me. I saw god.

It’s hopeful, it’s chaotic, it’s deeply unserious — the perfect way to ring in a new year as divas.

Here’s to fresh starts, bold opinions, and whatever the hell this year is about to be 🥂✨

Alright divas, it’s officially our Christmas episode AND our 30th episode, which feels fake but here we are 🎄✨

This week Brock and I are leaning fully into festive chaos as we celebrate Episode 30 of Okay Diva with a very diva-coded Christmas special. No syllabus, no Divaology homework — just end-of-year vibes, holiday reflections, unserious takes, and whatever tangents feel correct in the moment.

We kiki about the year that was, the moments that gagged us, the moments that nearly took us out, and why Christmas always brings out both the warmth and the unhinged behaviour. It’s camp, it’s cozy, it’s slightly chaotic — exactly how a diva should close out the year.

Whether you’re wrapping presents, avoiding family conversations, or just need something cunty on in the background — welcome to our Christmas special, babe.

Thank you for riding with us for 30 episodes. Same divas, same chaos, tinsel added.

🎄✨
