i went to a q&a for becky albertalli (author of simon vs) today and she said she was writing leah on the offbeat at the same time love simon was being filmed, and that she spoke with katherine langford and alexandra shipp about leah and abbys future romance and they applied it to their acting choices. so basically everytime we saw a moment that looked gay between leah and abby it wasn’t in our heads it was intentional happy 20gayteen folks
