He’s A Whole Heartthrob

I’m still surprised Nikita isn’t a popular show on this site. I mean, a lead, female, POC who kicks ass (literally) in every single episode whilst wearing heels and looking fierce AF. && Alex, the second lead who also kicks ass constantly who is the definition of SURVIVOR and they don’t have “super powers” and weren’t raised around their for brothers and that’s why they’re so tough, they’re literally just two female assassins fighting against the government whilst looking amazing and occasionally using their femininity to make men think they’re weak so they can go full-on Jackie Chan on them help me

The entire point of Imane’s season is to get the audience to see what a muslim woman of colour sees (the everyday racism and microaggressions), rather than what you as a white viewer might see or, to be more accurate, what you might miss. Questioning Imane’s pov and siding with Ingrid or the comments the girls are making is you quite literally disregarding the purpose of Imane’s season.

So I may be judgmental and choosy about what I consume, but I am absolutely firm in my belief that everyone who wants to try writing should do so. I will encourage anyone I come across to write fanfic. If I see your post about trying out a story or working on a chapter, I will like the shit out of that post. I’ll probably comment. I don’t care if you ship my notp: you should write that fanfic right now, tonight. Even if it’s your first time trying to write fiction. Even if you’ve only got a few lines of dialogue in your mind. Even if it starts as just an outline.

I think fanfic can be a beautiful act of creative expression and I felt that in my bones even when I started writing as a nervous tween. I feel it on days when I can’t write yet but I’m building up to the day when I will. I feel it now. And fucking trust me–you deserve to feel it too.

No one else can write the story that you can write. No one else has the words you have. That movie running in the back of your mind, that moment of a character experiencing a dramatic revelation, that mental image of the grandest first kiss you can imagine… That’s yours. You can write it, you can create it, and nothing can take that power away from you.

I’ll cheer you on if you need cheering. I can’t promise to read stuff but I’ll listen and I’ll tell you to go for it and I’ll whoop when you say you had a good writing session. Encourage you to love those OCs, that OTP, the long building twist, the narrative poem.

Fanfic is fucking amazing. Art is amazing. You can start any day you want. It’s here for you.

😞😞

the penatrators: make the girls they fucked wear their hoodies like they’re some kinda objects to be Branded™ and get into fistfights smashing bottles on people’s heads.

some of y’all: THESE BOYS ARE SO HOT WHAT GOOD GUYS!!!!!

the balloon squad: don’t stand for disrespecting women and talk about serious social issues like racism and police brutality.

some of y’all: ………. yaaaa i can’t be interested in these “loud macho straight guys who preen” they’re so basic they’re demons they can’t be trusted.

may 2019 bring you your “i’m doing better than i ever was” moment

I think everybody should see it

Found that and thought that you have to see that too

it’s a messy mess, not just a regular mess.

Subtlety:  This show has none.

I’ve seen a lot of people saying, “why does it matter if he’s white?” It MATTERS that he is white. It MATTERS that he is a white supremacist. It MATTERS that he is a Donald Trump supporter. It MATTERS because he drove miles from his home in Dallas to go to a border city who’s population is predominantly Hispanic, in an area where many Mexicans from the South of the border also come to shop, during a tax exempt weekend when more people than usual went shopping . His crime was premeditated and was based on his racist, xenophobic views and it was done under a president who makes people like him think that, that is completely normal and fine. So yes, it fucking matters that he is white.

Stop with whatever it is you’re doing and take a bit of your time to read this, to make me and so many other people happy:

Maybe you’ve already seen people talk about it, so I will keep it short.

Please start watching Anne With An E, because we need more views for a 3rd season!! Here are 4 quick reasons why, and there are many more for you to discover once you start watching:

1. It discusses important issues like racism, feminism, homosexuality, education, abuse etc. in the most beautiful way possible.

2. Poetic cinema is ON POINT literally every episode

3. The main ship, Shirbert (Anne Shirley-Cuthbert and Gilbert Blythe) is absolutely incredible and you will love it just as much as the entire fandom does.

4. Every character gets portrayed beautifully and you can really see that the actors and writers put their heart and soul into the show.

We need more views, we need more eyeballs or we won’t get a (well-deserved) season 3.

Help a desperate girl (and the rest of the Anne clan) out and start watching. Please🌻 (Also, it’s a good way to piss off the homophobic assholes who have been hating on the show since the beginning.)

Thank you💛
