📣 What to Read After Watching: Nimona 🎞️

🩷 I stumbled upon She-Ra and the Princesses of Power from creator, showrunner, and executive producer ND Stevenson in 2018 and never looked back. It was one of the few projects, let alone animations, I ever watched that so blatantly flipped the script by highlighting inclusivity without needing to say it outright. Queerness was simply a way of human existence; representation mattered but didn't need to be outrightly defined. Again, ND Stevenson has flipped the script, this time by bringing his webcomic from page to screen. The story became an outlet for Stevenson to express his own nonconforming gender identity. The shape-shifting title character, Nimona, is a stunning example of unapologetic transness and gender fluidity, again, without needing to say it outright. If you haven't watched it yet, Nimona is now available on Netflix, with the original comic available online and in stores.

🩷 If you HAVE seen it and adored Nimonia's punk-pop chaos, don't worry; there's plenty more where that came from! Here are a few options you should consider reading after watching Nimona!

🩷 The Girl From the Sea by Molly Knox Ostertag 🩷 Mooncakes by Suzanne Walker 🩷 CosmoKnights by Hannah Templer 🩷 The Night Eaters by Marjorie Liu 🩷 Lumberjanes by Shannon Watters, Grace Ellis, Gus Allen, and ND Stevenson 🩷 Save Yourself! by Bones Leopard 🩷 Kim Reaper by Sarah Graley 🩷 Moonstruck by Grace Ellis and Shae Beagle 🩷 Snapdragon by Kat Leyh

and my 28th birthday holy crap. I’ve scheduled this back in 2015

If 2/2/22 falls on a Tuesday it could also be known as “2’s Day”

[directors-eyes]

So I didn’t get to make the last post for the swpaw2020 meme, and I will, it’s just going to be late. I worked 16 hours each day this week, hard core over time. And we went into splits so I wasn’t home until 4am this morning.

ANAKIN SKYWALKER VS DARTH TYRANUS

STAR WARS PREQUELS APPRECIATION WEEK > 10/16 - Favorite Duel (or scene) 

  This fight, for me, was the first real saber batter I saw in theaters. I was in second grade and it was the most powerful visual for me. To see a character struggling with light and dark, being furious but having to control his anger and being unable to do so was the most relatable thing I'd ever seen. His best friend, his master, is hurt and about to be murdered in front of him after he has lost his only parent and just seen the love of his life fall out of a ship. I loved seeing the passion in this fight, how Anakin tries to follow the things he’s learned but he is angry and impulsive and just goes for attacks without thinking.

  I love that this batter is a three part battle, but the coolest thing for me was seeing someone fight with two sabers. The lighting is a simple concept, but it was so intense and inspiring for little second grade me. A light fight in the dark with such passion so similar to the battle he will later have with his own son one day. Red and blue reflecting in Anakin's face, an unspoken foreshadowing of his fall to the dark side. For years after seeing this fight I would battle the neighborhood boys and train them in the ways of aggressive saber stances and attacks...and be the only girl who could kick everyone’s ass. It’s always given be goose bumps.

ANAKIN'S DARK ROBES

STAR WARS PREQUELS APPRECIATION WEEK > 10/14 - Favorite Outfit(s): The tunics, robes, and cloaks worn by the Jedi are honored traditions, but not uniforms. From the time they become Padawans, Jedi are free to dress as they choose. Anakin Skywalker breaks tradition in his garments, both in their color and material. His distinctive dark clothing makes him stand out at the Jedi Temple and draws concerns from Jedi elders. ~ Star Wars Visual Dictionaries
