Everyone needs a hero in their life. I lost one a long time ago. Then I lost another. My parents were my heroes. My father introduced me to the world of comics, he gave me my first comic book. This world gave me a lot of heroes. Out of pure curiosity I checked this show out; mainly because I grew to love weird fiction. And I got not one, but a whole bunch of unique heroes. They're tough and vulnerable. They're kind and harsh. They're funny and serious. All at the same time. And it made my heart swell when I saw that these characters mean the world to young LBGTQ+ folks around the world. I could write a lot about what this show means to me, but I try to pour it in one simple sentence: Hope and gratitude for a better world. Thank you.
There are not enough words that can describe what I feel and how happy I am to finally be very well represented in such a spectacular series as this! We have everything! Crazy family members, revenants, vampires, werewolves, geniuses, angels, heirs, police, to a gunman from the ancient west! I thank tiktok for meeting this series, it undoubtedly changed my life and gave me confidence not to be afraid to say that I'm gay and that I'm very proud to be like that! I have a wonderful girlfriend who makes me very happy! This series has really changed my life and I feel very happy and I will continue to fight to get her back to more seasons and in a few years' time a movie!
Wynonna Earp goes where no other show has dared. A pregnant lead in an action series. Dynamic, faithful representation of queer women like NO other. Sisters whose love is central and unparalleled. Absolutely stellar humor (Daddy Nicole?). Little moments that matter: Waverly’s strength the second time she faces Jolene. “I can be a hero and a wife.” Waverly and Wynonna at their campfire in 4x08. “Where you go, I go.” As a lesbian who grew up poor in a small town, with half-siblings whose blood relation NEVER mattered, who always wanted to grow up to be a hero and a wife without having to sacrifice one for the other? It means the world to see myself. The bar is set with Wynonna Earp, and as far as I’m concerned, no one else will ever reach it.
Ppl know this year hasn't been the best of the years. After the summer my ex(now) broke up with me after 10 years. I was devastated and I felt alone and sad all the time, just trying to hide it from my family. In October YouTube suggested me a WayHaught video and since then I've been in love with this show. First it was they and then Wynonna and the rest of the cast and crew. I think they've made an amazing job portraying so well their characters, taking care with all of them and what it means for the Fandom. Since I joined to Earper community I haven't felt the loneliness or sadness at all, actually I found a new family and within it a group of ppl who make my day everyday. We talk abt random conversations and I'll be thankful for that. 💖💖
I finished season 2 of Wynonna Earp just 2 days before Emily's famous "Don't f.... with my family tweet". Before that, I wasn't in fandom and active on Twitter, but that changed right after Emily's tweet. I bought billboards, I voted for Dom and for Kat to get the CSA, I voted for the PCAs, I participated in rewatches and I met the best people. Wynonna Earp means the world to me, I wouldn't have met my second family without this shit show. And I wouldn't feel as accepted as I do right now. I love this show, the cast, the writers and the crew and I love my found family. I’ll be forever grateful for Wynonna Earp <3
Wynonna Earp means the world to me when I say it saved my life I am serious, some people know my story but if it wasn’t for this show I wouldn’t be here, I have truly found my family, I am finally accepted for being me and that is all thanks to this show, it’s cast and it’s fandom. Seeing the positive LGBTQ+ representation on tv thanks to Wayhaught gave me the courage to finally admit not only to myself but to my family that I am gay. This show is 1 of a kind and it needs continue because it will help change people’s lives and help them be their true authentic self and help them find their found family. Thank you to everyone who brought this show into our lives you don’t know how much we love and appreciate every single one of you.
Wynonna Earp first came into my life when i was young, scared, and closeted and it gave me a glimpse of hope that i, too, could have a love that’s true and strong and real. Last year, though, is when it really became what it is to me now; i was having such a rough time (still am in a way) and the show - along with the fandom - became a place of comfort, smiles, hope, love, friendship that i cherish more than anything. It uplifts me in the moments i feel most down and it gives me the strength to keep going, to keep fighting - because what this show does, really, is show me that there’s so much beauty and love in the world that are worth staying around for :)
Wynonna Earp means so much to me because of the female empowerment the characters create. It’s not often you see a Woman with a lead role who plays the hero. I relate to Wynonna Earp because in a way I’ve gone through a similar journey she has. She says and does things I would and it’s like I found myself.And Wayhaught, positive representation is a key factor. We all want to be represented.I love this show because of its humour, action and romance.Fandom and cast have such a special and meaningful relationship, with Mel,Kat,Tim and Dom. The faith I have in Emily Andras is unlike any other. She’s created this family and now we are gonna fight like hell!!This may be a shit show but it’s our shit show!!So no matter what, we stay and we fight!
I knew about the show for a long time before I watched it. When i started questioning my sexuality i went looking for representation in media, all I found was overly sexualised or unrealistic and so overly dramatic i couldn't see myself in any of it and felt more alone than ever. Videos and compilations of wayhaught is where I first saw myself, a gay couple that is just allowed existed and aren't questioned. When I finally got round to watching the whole show and not just short clips I found myself represented even more, i saw myself in all of them. Wynonna, Doc, Dolls everyone was perfect and formidable despite all being flawed.
I owe it to my Netflix recommendation section that I got to find Wynonna Earp in need of a new series during hard times in my life. I remember binge-watching it within a week and feeling an immense warmth in my heart when Wayhaught came around. Waverly and Nicole each helped me so much in coming into terms with myself, to be my fullest, truest version of me - as individuals as well as through their relationship. Thanks to Wynonna I know that it's okay to struggle, that it's human to struggle. But at the same time - what Wynonna Earp taught me is to never ever question if you're powerful because every single one of us is in fact the most powerful version of ourselfs when we're truly ourselfs. Wynonna Earp means home.
Words can’t describe how much this show has done for me. I discovered it after the second episode of season 1 and from there it changed my life. Before I came out I wasn’t in the greatest place and seeing such positive representation and powerful queer characters gave me hope, gave me a safe space. What this cast and crew have done for me I something I will forever be grateful for. They made me seen, they gave me family, they made me feel worth it. Without this show I wouldn’t be the confidence gay woman I am today.
My wife and I are going through fertility treatment. She is (hopefully) carrying our first child. What does Wynonna mean to me? That family is more than blood.
If we have a girl, we will name her Waverly. It is such a beautiful name for such a beautiful character. I may not be related by blood, but I will love her with all that I am.
At a time when the world stood still, I was welcomed into the WE family with open arms without judgement or expectation. I was free to be me.
Emily and her amazing team created that world, Melanie, Dominique, Kat, Tim and the whole cast brought that to life - on and off screen. Change any one of those people and it wouldn't be the same. The universe gave us a gift and intend to pay it back in full <3
I'm a nerd and I've always had trouble fitting in. Especially with girls I had bad experiences that told me I don't belong. Being a closeted queer really didn't help.
Then there's Wynonna Earp with strong female characters that are also allowed to be flawed, vulnerable and queer. With the nerd just accepted as he is. The message to be brave enough to live who you are, the full awkward package.
But all of that would just stay a piece of fiction if it wasn't for the people behind the show to live and share that message and for this wonderful fandom to embrace it.
To suddenly have this huge group of strangers all around the world to whom I'm enough helped me more than I can describe.
I am and Old Earper from the beging and I'm never been so much addicted to any show like this before. Wynonna Earp bring so much light in my life! I don't even know how to describe it. I want to thank Emily for making me part of this journey, to Melanie who showed me how to be brave, to Dominique who teach me how to be myself, to Kat who gave me back the strength to love again! BIG THANK YOU to the people who made Wynonna Earp and united all the Earpers! Thank you Emily, Melanie, Dominique, Kat, Tim, Varun, Shamier and the crew!
Oof that is a big question- Not gonna lie.
I first watched it late 2019 because I was very sick and needed something to do. I fell in love immediately. I was so confused about my sexuality and gender identity. I was generally not in a great place. It gave me a safe place to fully find myself. It gave me a home where I can be myself without hiding from anyone and I desperately needed that. So Wynonna earp really means the world to me because without it I wouldn’t be living my true self- I mean I came out to my family with Nicole saying „I think this would be a really great time to tell you that I am a lesbian“ And thank god it worked out fine. My dad even has a slight obsession with the whole show now which gave us something to bond over :)
Everything. When I had no place that felt like me, that felt like home, I found Wynonna Earp. And it was beyond my hopes and dreams. As a member of the lgbtq+ community, the representation was without equal. As an avid consumer of TV the stories were compelling, the characters well written. You have, without conscious effort, exceeded every expectation I ever had. To every human being involved in the creation of this show - you have given me peace, love, community and hope. You will live in the very bones of me.
Where to start.. I guess i’m a late bloomer, only figuring out that I was bi at the ripe old age of 27! It’s been a journey. I don’t think I ever though about representation before now, but when I think back I was seeking out answers, in tv. I’m a big Cagney & Lacey fan, a true Xenite... then I found the L word. By the time I found Wynonna I was settled, happy and living my authentic life. Wynonna is something special, aside from great tv. Its indescribable, they feel like family, what a gift to create characters that can be so loved and so real. If I’d had Wynonna at a younger age who knows how life would have been different. Kids these days are lucky beyond belief to have this show and cast. What can I say except thank you!
Wynonna Earp has changed my life. Before the show, I was depressed and struggling to cope mentally and emotionally, but after watching Wynonna Earp and finding Wynonna, a character so perfect at being imperfect, it showed me that you could still be imperfect and that’s ok, people will still love you. I also felt represented by Nicole Haught, being a lesbian character and a lesbian myself. Wynonna Earp changed my life, it gave me new friends, a new found family, an amazing partner and my first convention experience. I owe my entire life to Wynonna Earp, because it saved mine.
I see myself represented through varun/Jeremy on screen for the first time and its on a popular american tv show. As someone with Indian heritage, I relate alot to varun and see my nerdy, fangirly, weird awkward self through jeremy and he is still accepted, not judged and is allowed to be himself. When Eve as Jeremy says "there is a lot of useless pop knowledge in here" and doc replies with "its not useless, it shows he has passion" hit me hard because it shows we are not just crazy, we are dedicated, passionate, supportive. for the first time I heard someone say that in my life and it hit me hard as sometimes I get really insecure but this show and fandom, allows me to be myself. I love this show so dang much.
I'm from a muslim family, so I tried to never acknowledge the fact that I'm a lesbian, I didn't think it was worth the loss of my family. Wynonna Earp has changed my view of myself like yeah I can be worthy to be loved just being myself' I came out and begun to live my life the way I want to because of this show. Thank you.
When people say they got the courage to come out, because of a TV show...
I never really understood what they meant.
I grew up in the first country to legalize same sex marriage. Which means I have a privilege that a lot of people don't have. I also grew up in a really supportive household, but never actually said out loud that "I'm bisexual". However, after watching Wynonna Earp for the first time, I had the biggest smile on my face. And I hadn't smiled like that in a very long time either. So naturally my parents asked "why the big smile?" And I came out to them because of a f*ing TV show.
I want to let everyone know what this show does to people. It encourages them. <3
Wynonna Earp found it’s way on to my screen during the pandemic in 2020. My marriage had broken down and I was on my own, trying to climb out of a well as deep and dark as Doc’s. I decided to catch up on a decade of queer tv and film. I knew there was w|w in the show but I had no idea how beautiful and authentic it would be. For the genius writing, the ultra talented cast, the inclusivity, the characters that were both ordinary and extraordinary. I felt so protective of WayHaught, I became their Aunt! These actors are in my heart forever. Wynonna Earp has given me a renewed sense of hope...in friendship, found family and love. Being an Earper gives my life a purpose I was struggling to see. I’m just so thankful for Wynonna Earp...🙏
It is the first TV Show in a long time that I felt instantly connected to. Having a hero who is not perfect is just amazing. You can identify with her. Also seeing what this show has done for the LGBT-community is just beautiful. I am so proud to be a fan of a show where everyone is welcome. I think for them this show means even more. It's also this kind of fandom that is very special to me. Everyone supports each other. And the cast and crew are all so very welcoming as well and so much fun to interact with. I came quite late into this fandom but I fell fast and hard for this show. And it just can't be the end yet.
I've discovered Wynonna Earp in October 2020, in the midst of a huge period of growth for me (and also, you know, a pandemic). It helped me on my journey and gave me the courage to be unapologetically myself, have my own journey, come out to the people in my life that didn't know yet (including my parents), and to try and stop tailoring myself to the expectations of the people around me. I've learned that you are allowed to be complex, to express yourself in different ways everyday if that's what you want, to be vulnerable and strong, sassy and kind,... I've found new friends, new role models, and an amazing community of accepting people. It definitely changed my life and will always have a special place in my heart.
