I feel like Rick went through the most physically in TOWL and TWD. While Michonne went through the most mentally. So many people would say Maggie is the strongest female character, but I firmly believe it's Michonne. Michonne lost 2 sons, killed a bunch of kids, saved Judith, lost her female best friend, lost her boyfriend, then her soul mate, and still have the courage to rebuild civilization and have another baby. Maggie doesn't have half of what Michonne has been through. So my question is, who do u think is stronger and what makes the other stand out more.
Hi @theoneswholive32 ! It was definitely interesting to watch the ways in which Michonne and Rick's internal and external hardships paralleled each other in TOWL. And I wrote out the rest of my response to your question below: ⬇️ 💗
I do believe Michonne’s strength is unparalleled. And in choosing who stands out the most, I’m choosing Michonne every time. To be as multifaceted and well-rounded as she is, to be both one of the world’s toughest and one of the world’s tenderest, it makes her an incredibly admirable character who embodies that quote Deanna shared - “Someday this pain will be useful to you.”
Over the course of her journey, Michonne learned to turn her grief and pain into something productive and motivating rather than destructive and devastating all while still being in tune with her hurt and emotions rather than neglecting or supressing them.
I think it’s hard to compare traumas, in that apocalyptic world especially, so I can't say I agree with the statement that Maggie hasn’t been through half as much tho.
I do agree that Michonne has been through so much and more than people tend to acknowledge. Just because one of her most painful experiences happened offscreen and before she joined the group doesn’t mean it should be dismissed. To experience losing a child at any age is absolutely tragic, and especially as a toddler when they are so defenseless and dependent on others to keep them alive. It makes sense that Michonne shut down the way she did after the horrors she endured. And the fact that she went on to grow the way she did, not by being a strong warrior robot but by reopening her heart and letting love and family in again is one of the greatest signs of her strength and character.
Maggie was put through the wringer too and one of the unique things about her losses is that the three closest people to her (husband, father, sister) didn’t just 💀 but were unalived by human hands. Two of which she had to watch lose their life painfully, slowly, and all just so their murderer could make a point. And that’s on top of the rest of her family being taken out by walkers on the farm. So, even with me being overall neutral on her character, I can’t deny that Maggie has been through a lot of hell and that she’s a strong woman.
I think one of the notable differences between Maggie and Michonne’s strengths is in how they address their issues. After Rick spared Negan, it made sense that Maggie would feel extremely hurt by that executive decision but rather than talk to Rick about it as family she concocted plans behind his back which had tragic ramifications. Whereas when Michonne has an issue with someone she’s been shown to go directly to the source and address things which is another sign of her maturity and strength.
Now I do think when it comes to physical violence, Michonne is the woman they put through the most physical harm and that is upsetting for several reasons. There is certainly an aspect of it that feels racially charged, even if subconscious because take 9.14 for example, I genuinely can’t see them being comfortable having Maggie or Carol be beat with a pipe while 7 months pregnant the way Michonne was.
One of the millions of reasons I’m grateful to Danai for what she wrote in ep 4 of TOWL is that she actually gave Michonne the space to acknowledge what she’s been through and voice her hurt. And Michonne also got to have someone who cared to acknowledge her scars and hurt as well through Rick. That was important because all too often Black women are portrayed as having to carry so much on their own and just keep it pushing without anyone caring to see their pain or vulnerability.
And to add one more reason that I feel Michonne is exceptionally strong and a standout character is because when she found someone she could trust and be held by in Rick, she opened herself up to that too. It could have been so easy for someone as competent as her to stay the independent lone wolf but she found a partner who she can be her most human and vulnerable self with and that vulnerability shows a whole lot of strength.
So that's my little essay response. Thanks for asking! 😊

Hi, I really loved your post with the monsters as Birds of Prey! Was wondering if you had any thoughts on the Foxes as Marvel or Mcu characters? I feel like I could see Dan as Carol Danvers and Andrew for sure is Jessica Jones, idk about the rest.
oh wow old post!!
haha unfortunately i’m not really a comics person so i don’t feel like i can really give the best analysis possible, but i have seen most of the mcu movies and bits and pieces of the netflix show so i’ll try my best. also im using dc characters too bc i want to
1. Dan: I think your instinct with Dan as Captain Marvel is spot-on (at least uhhh,, based on the movie lol sorry comics ppl). Her direct, forceful powers and fighting style are definitely reminiscent of dan’s no-nonsense leadership approach. similarly the themes of overcoming sexism and acceling in a male-dominated industry in the captain marvel movie is pretty much the same as dan’s story establishing herself as the first female exy captain (tho sports is way more valid than the military). plus there’s a lot of emphasis on love and friendship between women that dan is ALL about. also lashana lynch would be a god tier dan wilds fc. Dan could also def have that lawful good Okoye from Black Panther energy. Loyal, disciplined, no-nonsense leader. no powers except discipline. no hair. also danai gurira in 2012 with the dreads and the sword and the cape on TWD was definitely part of my middle school sexual awakening
2. Kevin: Aquaman. this is based pretty much exclusively on the fact that jason momoa is my #1 kevin fc and also that Pasifika kevin is phenomenal and mandatory, actually. otherwise i think he has a decent amount of stick-up-the-ass cyclops energy. or dick grayson nightwing energy but i don’t have any evidence for why. kinda looks like him tho
3. Andrew: andrew gets the most characters bc he’s my favorite. i think ur jessica jones instincts are absolutely correct, both in her storyline (i only watched the first season) and her powers. i’ve seen some powers au and the tendency seems to be giving andrew like,, psychic powers or the like, and i don’t really agree. andrew is a very direct character. he’s pragmatic, he confronts problems head on, and he doesn’t muck about in details. to me this really translates best into physical powers like super strength that help u big punch straight thru all ur problems. also i def think andrew would be not just a solo hero but a mercenary (or a detective) because he’s not altruistic enough to be a standard vigilante. he doesn’t care enough about other people to hang out on rooftops all night waiting for Crime to occur. there’s a price for that. which brings us to the NEXT andrew hero: deadpool. maybe in personality more of a drugged andrew but the superpowered mercenary is really a perfect fit for andrew. also, healing powers have a decidedly tragic poetry to them on andrew. already he’s self-destructive, if he had a healing factor his concern for his own well-being would be so beyond rock bottom it’d be in the earth’s core. even worse when you remember that with a healing factor, as opposed to indestructibility, you still feel all the pain. which brings us to Wolverine and X-23, who have the same thematic points as deadpool but are much more of a personality match and they have knife hands, which i really think andrew would appreciate. ending that sadness train and onto another tho, andrew’s aesthetic and Vibes fit the Winter Soldier just SO well (just that movie tho, not really civil war or anything past that) and a reinterpretation of the captain america story using the twinyards would be incredibly interesting. and finally, one last hero that would work really well for andrew: rogue, only remove the angst around not being able to touch people, andrew would love that. one touch and their comatose? baller. don't fucking touch him.
4. Matt: Shazam. I didn’t see the shazam movie but my dad and brother did and they said it was very funny and all the trailors looked like it had a lot of fun himbo energy and i really think that fits. in terms of matching himbo disaster energy i think i’ve heard good things about comics hawkeye (not mcu). thor?
5. Aaron: Mr. Fantastic. now this might be a stretch but aaron is a character who uses a skin-deep veneer of anger to cover the fact that he’s actually quite pliant and bends to other people’s wills. and he’s a doctor or w/e. he could alse be like,, antman. he’s smart right? hank pym not paul rudd. katelyn can be wasp
6. Seth: Arm Fall Off Boy. no i will not elaborate. ..... ugh fine, but i'm using my favorite piece of superhero media of all time: x-men evolution, the one where they're all teenagers in public high school. seth can be lance alvers/avalanche who’s a bit of a jerk and has a lot of issues with authority and has a rivalry with cyclops very reminiscent of seth with kevin, but still there’s the recurring theme that he’s lashing out because of low self-esteem and a bad situation and he’s a surprisingly sympathetic character who i’m very fond of. his power is earthquakes but i think the name makes that pretty self-explanatory
7. Allison: Iron Man. cocky, bitchy, and rich rich rich. sounds like allison to me. then to elevate it a level higher: emma frost, rich bitch extraordinaire. also if allison had telepathic powers she would be unstoppable. plus one more bitchy, morally-gray blonde (but chaotic this time): Harley Quinn
8. Nicky: Okay so I do wanna give a quick shout-out to Northstar, the first openly gay comicbook superhero, who’s a speedster which I’d actually say fits Nicky pretty well. However, if i had to choose a superhero to represent nicky in presence and powers it would have to be Jubilee from x-men (... from what i’ve heard lol. i’ve never actually consumed any of her Media hahaha anyway) she’s a joyful, energetic presence and her powers are setting off fireworks which i think is a good balance of nicky being a supportive cousin-parent AND a chaotic train wreck garbage trash man. also gonna throw in johnny storm for a cheap 'flaming' joke
9. Renee: Thunder/Blackbird from Black Lightning bc she’s a fufkin lesbian lol. (i don’t watch the show but i do follow nafessa williams’s tag). now the fr ones i’m gonna do together because to me they have the same Vibes so i chose them for the same reasons. Wonder Woman and Storm who to me have the same reserved, impartial, regal energy. honestly ethereal and somewhat otherwordly, and quite literally goddesses. also op as hell. black widow and her “red in my leger” looking for redemption story also fits thematically.
10. Neil: okay lazy answer first: the flash or quicksilver. get it? because they run fast? and neil run too? yea i like to think i've proven myself to be better than such a surface level interpretation but worth the mention ig. so for srs now, mystique and her shape changing powers would be an interesting interpretation of neil's identity issues, but i wanna push it a step further. nightcrawler would actually be possibly the MOST interesting hero to apply to neil 1. because powers still very movement go fast place to place 2. because of the thematic focus on neil's unusual looks and the lengths he goes to hide them, very much in line with the way nightcrawler will use a hologram-projector in order to look human, yet in both cases it's only a surface-level illusion, and 3. his parentage. here, mary would be mystique, which i also think works very well considering mary seemed to be the far more effective chameleon on the run than neil, and also fits with her place as a morally grey character, as mystique herself is often a villain or an antagonist, with her own agenda and shadowy motives. then nathan matches well with nightcrawler's father: azazel, a literal demon, and also where kurt gets his appearance. it's a shockingly coherent narrative between the three of them. then, to also give neil some powers that aren't contingent on his fucked up geneology and rather on his own merit and abilities, Black Canary and her sonic voice parallel the way that neil began to anchor his identity and take ownership over himself through his voice and his sick roasts
and 1 extra, wymack: batman, on account of his altruism, his dedication to second chances, and his many, many adopted children
---
anon, ik it's been a sec since you sent this, so i hope it gets back to you. i had a fun time with it and it prompted like,,, 7 different au s that i'll never write

MUN QUESTIONS. Q1 : if you could write your character your way in their own movie , what would it be called , what style would it be filmed in , and what would it be about ? A1 : honestly??? i think i would keep it the way it is, BUT i would like to have seen some more canonical information about galo’s family. as of right now, we know that kray saved him after his family was attacked by the burnish. if i were to direct a new movie about galo, i would focus it mainly on his family. Q2 : what would their soundtrack / score sound like ? A2 : i think it would be a mix of melancholic music as well as more upbeat stuff. on my blog’s main page there are links in the sidebar to both a soundtrack playlist as well as a pop music playlist; i definitely think it’s fair that a variety of genres would suit him and his experiences. Q3 : why did you start writing this character ? A3 : when i first watched promare, i was instantly drawn to this buffoon himbo. i’ve always had a thing for upbeat, energetic characters who are also quite caring and a bit dumb (which yes galo is very smart but he has his moments). while their personalities differ greatly (despite having the same personality type), he reminds me a lot of lance from vld, who i absolutely adore as well (and i also rp him too oops) Q4 : what first attracted you to this character ? A4 : again, probably his personality. while i’m not as energetic and upbeat as galo and i have a very, very different personality type than him, i feel like i definitely do understand him. i understand why he feels he needs to be overly confident, and i also have my moments where i just need to storm off and be alone. god i could write paragraphs and paragraphs about why i like galo but i wanna keep it short and sweet and just stick with those two points, which i consider to be the biggest points. Q5 : describe the biggest thing you dislike about your muse. A5 : look, i know i said i liked confidence, but something about galo that annoys me is the fact that he can often seem too confident. like yeah he seemed pretty humble in that pizza scene at the beginning of the movie, but i can’t help but feel a twinge of annoyance towards people who put themselves right into the center of attention and be all like “yeah i know i’m great.” like my boy i love you but do u have to announce urself every time u appear on the scene??? and pls stop being so reckless u honestly might die too soon one of these days we want u to be around for us to enjoy u Q6 : what do you have in common with your muse ? A6 : i definitely feel like we both have our moments where we just need some peace and quiet. of course, everyone needs this, but when galo talked about running off when he was pissed reminded me of me; i tend to go and cool off and vent to myself if i’m annoyed about something. we’re both naturally people-oriented and love to be around others, even though galo likes being the center of attention a little bit more than myself. Q7 : how does your muse feel about you ? A7 : in the sense that if galo were real, i honestly think we would get along fairly well. we have different ways of dealing with things, but we have similar habits and personality traits. however when it comes to rp blogs, while i do like to headcanon things about my muses that mirror my own opinions and beliefs, i do consider the mun/muse relationship fairly symbiotic. we as real people can learn so much from fictional characters and in how we play them, and of course, the mun will determine some things about the muse that will deter from canon. Q8 : what characters does your muse have interesting interactions with ? A8 : i just started this blog and have had very minimal interactions, so it’s hard to say ! i’d say that an interaction with a kray muse would be the most interesting. part of me wants galo to forgive kray and to have a better relationship with him post-movie canon, but there’s still so much about galo and kray’s relationship pre-movie as well; what was their relationship like? was kray like a father to galo? how can i describe the psychological mindset that galo had after finding out that kray betrayed him? there’s so much about these two that i really want to discover and look at, while of course providing my own insight (cuz that’s what muns do, right?). Q9 : what gives you inspiration to write your muse ? A9 : i like to study galo’s actions in the movie, and try to find the underlying cause of the actions he takes. however, when it comes to headcanons, i will often think of a scene or an idea in my head and then internally apply it to galo and see if it works. this is usually what kindles my writing fire: the thoughts that often rush through my head. Q10 : how long did this take you to complete ? A10 : like two whole days lmao im so slow

🙌 Just read the last NOL chappie & lemme tell me U how much I loved it! I found myself reading & gasping, like a virgin, or having to take a moment to fully take things in 😁 That's what I often do when l read ur richonne tales. I was the anon that was scared to get into NOL after ARC. Allow me to say that the only negative with it are the time jumps. I would've loved to read the things our lovelies where up to. The wedding (itself and pre and post nights) I wish we had more time with them 😄😍
Anon hello!!!
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the last chapter of NOL, i enjoyed writing it and being able to get it down so you guys can see how these two are growing closer again, as one reviewer noted, they are coming full circle...and I kind of agree with you about the time jumps. I wish that i had the time to write and write and just tell everyone all of the things that this version of Richonne are up to in my head, but if i did that i would never be able to do anything else with my life, cause they do live a full life in my head (cause i’m crazy perhaps??? that’s an ask for another day i think...)
And with this story moving to a close here shortly, i am going to miss richonne dearly. I am so fond of this couple who got me to write, but it is getting close to the time to tell them and their fics goodbye. i stopped watching the show after Rick died (though i still kinda know what’s going on from others in the fandom and Tumblr...and of course my husband was still obsessed with Michonne) and for me the richonne dynamic that i loved so much died with it. i’m hella skeptical about whether or not these rick movies are even happening cause andy been traipsing about the world looking very un-rick grimes like, and honestly at this point i want to see Danai (the true love of my husband’s life...and my bestie at least in my head) in something new, something befitting her talent...not this second class mess that the show has devolved into...and it’s time for me to decide if i have what it takes to write something original...i’m finishing up NOL and then i have a few original story ideas that i would either publish on amazon or on wattpad...just know Fik is working on it...i won’t totally disappear from writing...
at any rate, thank you for reading, thank you for letting me know your thoughts cause i feed on them, it is you and others like you who have kept me going when my richonne love was definitely on fumes and i couldn’t find a reason to write or finish this story...the real MVPs of this fandom are the fans, and i love each and every person who took the time to read anything i wrote, to reach out to me and tell me to write dammit! or even to give me a little constructive criticism...it all helped me grow and become better than i was the last time. so thank you Anon and everyone else out there! Fik loves you!!!

My Avengers Endgame World Premiere experience
this is really long, lota rambling feel free to read skim anything idc, no spoilers bc this was on Monday before I saw the movie :)
Ok Ima start Saturday night, this is when I was packing making and painting my posters that said “Thank You Avengers”, I live in California so I didn’t have to fly to this event. At 12am we (my family) we arrive in Los Angeles around 5am. At this time I thought that the premiere was going to be at El Capitan Theatre where it was originally supposed to be. We drive by the theater and we see no one is in line which was weird bc normally there would be people here already so i search and find the location which was switched last min (smh) the drive to the next location wasnt too long but at least i knew i was at the right location bc of the small group of fans and the giant poster that said Avengers Endgame World Premiere. Apparently they changed the location bc they needed a larger screening room and they didnt want tons of fans showing up, there were these girls that were waiting at the El Capitan for 2 hours before they realized something was up. Anyway, we get in line. People who were in charge told the people who stayed over night to go home bc there wasnt going to be a fan area. No one left ofc who would hell no. Then some people went on twitter to talk about it made signs it was confusing but we ended up in a fan area after going through security. We got into the fan area at 12 ish and we had to stand there for another 4 and a half hours before anything exciting happens. Now its around 4pm people are starting to arrive. (THIS IS WHEN THE ACTION STARTS) Benedict Wong then Joe Russo. Not many came all the way down the line, I was the last one on the line before it wrapped around the corner. But I did want to get barricade and able to see action so Im grateful for my spot. Then Anthony Mackie arrives he’s walking to end of the fan area around the small corner but as hes walking right as he gets near me i scream at the top of my lungs, he stops right in front of me and i go “AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!ANTHONYYYYY MACKiE I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!” he looks at me biggest smile. We had a whole moment together its hard to explain its kinda like a ‘you had to be there moment’ i was the longest person probably a good 20 seconds (which is a long ass time in these times when they are in a rush) he was at and while im screaming and fangirling he air grabs my head to fucking sign my forehead i closed my eyes and accepted it he didnt do it ofc but he was just a fun guy i love him soooo much he signs my posters while saying “There’s no black guy on here” (i did an original 6 themed avengers poster) but he signed than signed my bosslogic poster which he was in. paul rudd comes by hes just a rocking dude i love scott lang sm, he was so sweets v cool guys sm love for him. Then at around 5pm Chris freaking Hemsworth arrives I loose my shit and so does everyone else. Just like Joe, Benedict Wong & Anthony he also went around the corner to make sure they got all of the fans (thank u to all who did this). Ive loved Hemsie for the longest time, i did get teary eyed but i didnt cry (yet) he was just the sweetest I was able to take a crappy photo with him bc i wasnt able to function properly as i took the pic my dumbass was like “iLOvEyoUsOmUCh” its oka cause he has the cutest smile and the bluest eyes oh and i cant stress enough he smelled so good sooooo good normally i hate when guys coat themselves in cologne cause it smells bad, but his didnt, his smelled so good i was so shook like chris drop what cologne u used idc its for guys mama neeeddds. THEN IT hAPPENEd CHRISTOPHER ROBERT EVANS DRIVES BY. Everyone was like “omg is that chris evans?!” I stand on the barricade to see if i can catch a peak, istg the moment the fucking moment he gets out the car i start to bawl my eyes out. This man who has meant more to me than anyone is over there i couldnt believe i was seeing my favorite human ever. I’ve only sobbed right as i saw my fave once before back in 2016 at the Passengers premiere when I met Jennifer Lawrence. People dont really understand the moment like this person has inspired me so much of course im going to cry and sure judge me for it but they helped me through so much. Anyway he looked soo hot in his blue suit and sunglasses. I kinda calm down bc i didnt know if he was going to come all the way down the line and yk my ass wanted a pic but he was cut half way though the people which was upsetting but again im extremely grateful to be able to see him. Then my main fucking man. Sebastian Stan arrives. see ive met the guy before last year at ace comic con (there was tea w my photo op being really messy and i hated it i got a refund u can read about that on my ace comic con post). anyway i see him. i dont cry im trying to wipe my tears i was more prepared cause ive seen him before it was gonna be ok. I lose my shit the man was wearing a baby blue pastel colored suit. fucking beautiful. iconic. very hot of you mr seb ty. hes walking down and hes getting close. he wasnt to smiley, he was taking pics but he was focused on the fans signing for as many fans as possible. He gets to me and he sees our pics then he looks u so we could take a pic and his smile just transforms you can just see his face just glow up it was the truly the cutest this ive ever experience. then we look up from the pic and hes smiling at me i tell him “I love you so much” i hear him chuckle but as he says something his security guy yells “thank you that enough” so ill be posting the vid of us and any lip readers can help a girl out ill love you forever. I ended up being Sebs last person from the fan area. he truly made my day, week fucking year. then other celebs such as jon favreau, benedict cumberbatch comes by. Jeremy Renner comes by. I shoot my shot and make small talk w Jeremy. I go “Hi Jermey how’s your day going?” he goes “I’m doing really good, how bout you?” he signs my things i excitingly tell him “I’m doing great thank you” then he goes “Thank you honey” and smiles at me. It made me really happy, i could tell he was a bit tired but Jeremy is such a sweetheart he doesnt get the credit he deserves i love him sm, ive always has a little part of my heart for Hawkeye. minutes go by. I see Lizzie Olsen, Danai Gurira, beautiful ofc. then i see fucking Mark Ruffalo hes just standing behind one of the SUVs and the sun is on him. He looked like a confused puppy it was so cute and soft, i love my ruffalo buffalo. I took my moment to scream “iS THat MARK ruFFALO?” i dont think he signed for many fans. Scarjo arrives she doesnt sign for many either she looked beautiful v pretty. a little while passes than the most bitching car comes by and stops where the cars stop until the drop off area clears and they can go. we all knew who ever was in that car he was important. then it was his time to go cause the drop off area was cleared. guess who was in the drivers seat. You guessed right. Robert Downey Jr rolling up in an Audi E-TRON, with his wife Susan Downey in the passenger seat. Truly the Tony Stark entrance. he doesnt sign for many ofc. at this time it was getting later near 6pm almost all celebs and guests are inside where the actual premiere set up is. then Vin Diesel comes in. He was the most fan based guy. even though he was running late he ran (literally speed walking) through the whole line of fans around the corner and everything. he had the biggest smile on. wearing his groot jacket. and if u dont know fast and furious are one of my fave franchises of all time so i was having the best time. then that was the last person and we started heading out. i didnt name all who ive seen since there was just to many and i probably missed some things but i loved my experience. i was able to see all the original avengers irl and that made me really happy. this whole cast means the world to me. ill love them forever
#:)#ty to the ones who read#i didnt re read it so if there's any typos oh well ig#avengers endgame world premiere#Endgame prem!

S10 sdcc trailer rant
(similar to my other rants) Before the trailer was shown, idk what to expect on s10. Ok more like I still don’t trust the writers. I still get like invested on this show.
It’s hard to quit and to stick only with headcanons, when the show is still going on and it sometimes not be so bad in a overall story-way. (quitting ouat show was easier to do.) I value story and in character stories and following the protagonists and their main story arcs. But ukno TWD isn’t the same anymore. Since Carl died, but it was still ok because Rick is still alive and that TWD imo is about Rick&/or Carl’s story. But, Rick isn’t in the show but in movies. Anyway, the writers sometimes still be true or still be IMO what I think is right for the story in the TWD show, but also lack a lot of potential moments. So it’s why it’s hard to quit. There are some things going well. It’s frustrating. I want this show to end good and end it like yesterday/ s7. The other frustrating thing is how AMC tease fans with movie news, Lincoln leaving, etc with hundred articles of the same thing. There’s so much stringing fans along from TWD franchise. Fandom is tired!
Ok I have this expectation or wish on how the show/movie TWD will end and I think writers/gimple are thinking similar the same way I am. But idk it’s a 16 ep season story idk what to expect and I don’t really trust them since Kang throws out random ships and time jumps and other dumb stuff. Like she brought C/E but Carol got this new arc and is back with TF or main storyline.
Idk why I care ahh show gonna die downhill anyway. That’s depressing and frustrating. I kinda hope the show ends now and we focus on the TWD movies with the mains. I just want a ending of Rick and gang’s story!
S10 trailer thoughts - I only care about the mains. Some others too but u know the show is weak with characters’s development and having a huge cast.
Idk Caryl being bffs, we already know that. It’s also was very much like the comics between Rick and Michonne which they only stayed as friends. So it’s weird. I wish Caryl said it differently but it looked more like flirting. And with Carol I guess she’s been away for awhile in idk Oceanside? I guess it’s ok if it makes her story interesting and make sense. I still want her with team family but seems like she still is or part of the main storyline, in s10. If she’s seeing ghost Henry and stuff maybe she’s taking comic-Michonne’s storyline from the Telltale game?
I want the TWD story to end well and including for characters stories. I’m really nervous about Michonne. Sigh it’s just like with Rick wtf. Is she gonna die on the show? Are writers gonna destroy her and make her OOC by kissing/being with Zeke? Is she gonna be in the movies and if there’s those dumb ships happening, does it mean the movies be wack too ( with dumb love triangles or Rick/Jadis shit).* Seeing bad writing while some areas like Caryl doing fine, I still worry that bad writing happening elsewhere like what they did with carzekiel, Carl dying, minor characters not developing well. Seeing that kiss was so gross. Richonne is the power couple and part of this main/Grimes storyline in the show. Last scene of Richonne was so beautiful and seeing M/E kiss is like tainting it. tainting the story’s ending. It doesn’t make sense for Michonne to do that in s10 and not in the rest of s9. Like she was still in love and grieving on Rick for 6 years even though she thinks he died. And wtf lol Zeke? Ya so now the haters know what Carylers felt I guess. Tho it’s worse cos M/E talked like once in s9 and yeah. However maybe the kiss was a one time thing or so. Maybe they’re both grieving and kinda using each other’s company? I’ll be fine with it if it’s some crazy angsty storyline. Obviously they’re not endgame. If they are, fandom only remembers Richonne. Oh I just realized this dumb plot kinda reminds me of comic Michonne. She is like stuck in this misery way with boyfriends like that in most of comics till she found her peace by finally finding her daughter. ‘finding her daughter’ is something I think tv-Michonne would do later on, trying to find Rick. Maybe Kang wants to write like that? Boat ? Maybe she goes on a boat to find Rick? I want Richonne/Grimes reunion! Sigh.
Sigh! I don’t want this stress and worry on it. It’s not exciting and fun anymore. It like putting salt on my wounds. Gosh can this show end!
===========
After thinking about the trailer and fandom things, I feel a bit better. Cast hates M/E and I think is highly possible Danai will be in the movies or one of them therefore Michonne doesn’t die in s10.
And that Kang loves to add random ships (but it might not be so bad afterwards??) and I still don’t trust writers. gahhhh

😂 she did tried U .. but she got dealt with: left & right! 😂 in all seriousness tho I'm convinced antis are worried rn cuz the amont of agitation and agression I see coming from them (ever since proof of Andy being in NY for Danai and looking Ô so happy) is speaking volumes! It's like they are utterly obssessed and its odd af! They give us way to much poser! Either way I got U! I'm not out like yall but anytime I see people being rude (or at least trying yall) I feel the need 2 say something!
Honestly I've blocked major antis so I don't even know what goes on over there. I only know what's brought directly to me. I don't go looking for negativity.

What are u predictions for the mid-season finale?
I think the big mystery around Madison will be revealed - hopefully lol - and we will see if she made it out of the stadium alive or not. What worries me is that that might be it. Like, if she doesn’t die, we might see that she survived but it’s still missing. And they’re hiding her pretty well during the shootings.
I’ve also been thinking about the other half of the season and to be honest, I have no idea where it’s going, plot wise. From the bts pictures and videos posted on forums, we can see that a big hospital in the city will be a new location in part B, tho I don’t know for how long. Adc, Lennie, Jenna, Colman and Danay were seen on that location; Al’s swat truck was there but Maggie wasn’t in the pictures. From some IG pics tho, we can see that she and Garret made it to the second half. Still, no signs of Kim :’( They did a pretty good job hiding Nick’s death, so whatever happened to Madison, they’re keeping it under the sheets as well. What are your predictions, guys? - Camila

infinity war
nearly 24 hours after coming out of the movie i am still
not
ready
to compile my thoughts in any kind of coherent order
but anyway here’s what we used to call in the good old days a SPOILER CUT <lj-cut text=“FUCKING SPOILERS U GUYS”> god im old
“... Steve?”
AND ALSO LIKE, THAT ENTIRE LAST FEW MINUTES OF THE MOVIE, I SWEAR TO GOD, PETER PARKER I’M DYING I’M DYING
so i went to see it in the Fancy Theatre because I (a) needed to hear all the lines (still don’t know half of the best lines in Ragnarok bc of screaming opening night crowds) and (b) i needed to see this on my own and without my usual movie-frands because to them the MCU is just like, Some Movies, I Guess They’re Fun, because they are not fannish in the way that im fannish and i cannot pretend to be a sensible adult woman about these movies
Also, if you’re still the kind of young’un who feels weird going to the movies alone: don’t, it’s fucking awesome
for the entire last few scenes, starting from that moment when Thanos snaps his fingers, we were just. Everything. Everyone in that cinema was completely dead silent. I don’t think anyone breathed or moved. Maybe like - I think I might have let out a strangled whimper when Peter Parker, but we just, we were so caught up in it
and then the credits rolled and i s2g every single person was dead quiet for the whole thing until the end scene
ok i still can’t words? i have so many thoughts about HOLY WOW did they just change the fucking landscape!!! and HOLY SHIT THEY DID THAT and ;lakdsjfa;lskdjg ad, in short, alksjfa;ljdfl;kasja;ad forever. I think I need to go see it again soon to pick up all the bits i missed and also to try to comprehend how terrible everything is
and i think a lot of fans are going to HATE!!! this, and ok, i love me some stucky, who doesn’t love them some stucky?? but i also feel v possessive of Bucky as a character because like, him and Jason Todd, they were MY DEAD ROBINS BEFORE FANDOM FOUND THEM (bucky was never a Robin but like, he would have been, should have been, in a different universe, there’s a panel in one late-90s comic where he and Jay Todd are chilling together in heaven and if the world was a fair place they still would be, but ANYWAY, DEAD ROBIN FEELINGS ASIDE, man, i love him, and i love this great and terrible story, and i love comics-buckynat, and i have never been a single-mode shipper, so ANYWAY
ANYWAY, what i am getting at is, for this huge and terrible love story of a hundred years to just die in the snap of a mad god’s fingers, that fuckin gets me good, i’m ON BOARD for (a) the steve-coping-with-his-new-world fic (b) the fix-its but also and most importantly (c) this was just. tragic and beautiful.
like, he was redeemed. he got beautiful jesus hair, he was good with the world. bucky dying hurts, but imagine how much more it’d hurt if he still hadn’t reclaimed his life, his self? IM LOOKING AT YOU JK ROWLING WITH YOUR CURTAINS AND YOUR MID-NARRATIVE-ARC-KILLING-OF-SIRIUS, I WAS A TEENAGER AND IVE NEVER RECOVRED
BUT PETER PARKER DYING OH GOD i didnt actually cry but i came damn close at that scene
and NICK AND MARIA, FUCK, JUST FUCK ME UP,
T’CHALLA, GOD, I WAS NOT READY, danai’s FACE, i died inside
but i just! i’m so devastated, i got out and immediately texted psandqs “my heart is an ashy wasteland never speak to me again” (to which she replied IF THEY KILLED STEVE OMG” and i did not tell her anything but she’s gonna be real mad when she gets to see this) and i’m so upset and so mourning for them, but i also
i love it???
i love that they’re willing to take steps like that
i love how completely they were just like, “no, fuck it, no, the heroes fucking LOSE”
i love that they irrevocably shattered the landscape of the MCU as we know it
i love that we’re going to get to see the aftermath of a universe dealing with the loss of literally half of everyone ever
i am HERE for this apocalyptic narrative twist
i cant wait to see what comes next
and i know it’s gonna hurt, but i love it when stories make me hurt, i really do. im here for fluff and sweetness, but stories with serious emotional impact, i mean, that’s why i read!!! thats what i want!
tl;dr: juST FUCK ME UP, BUT FOR REAL, THAT’S WHAT IM HERE FOR

Black Panther Thoughts/Review
Just got back from seeing Black Panther, what can be said that hasn’t already, it lived upto the hype. I loved the storyline which felt very topical right now considering how things have been the last year. I don’t want to give anything away but i will say it definitely felt like a worthy addition to the mcu and i am so glad wakanda has inspired so many people, we always need hope and things to inspire us. and this movie does that. I really like Chadwick Boseman’s portrayal of T’challa, a man torn between doing what is the right thing for his people while also bearing the weight of his father’s crown. I definitely feel his character’s thoughts in every decision he makes and how torn he is trying to live upto expectations dating back generations. I loved his chemistry with Letitia Wright (Who i freaking loved in this) as Shuri, very believable as brother and sister and i am definitely looking forward to seeing more scenes with them as they felt so real and natural. Lupita Nyong’o and Danai Gurira were also amazing as Nakia and Okoye I loved the world building they have achieved in this movie where everyone in Wakanda feels as important as say t’challa himself, i ended up liking everyone I want more M’Baku, way, way more M’Baku. With villains, i was really excited to see more of Andy Serkis as Ulysses Klaw as i have been waiting to see him again since his brief appearance in Age of Ultron, was very pleased to see him go all out, even if his appearance again was brief. Michael B Jordan however stole the movie as Erik Killmonger, i’ve been feeling pretty disappointed in the mcu villains sans notable exceptions like loki, nebula etc i feel that that in part is due to them not having enough screentime to be memorable or engaging. Killmonger however was one of the stand out performances in this film. he is definitely given a backstory that u can understand and almost sympathize with him as if things had been different he might not have turned out the way he did. Stuff like this is always so thought provoking for me with villains. Jordan’s performance is such a good balance of malicious, vanity, vengeful and being charismatic enough to pull his plan together. Anyone can say i want to take over the world but jordan’s performance/deliveries were on point. I would honestly say he is my favourite mcu villain besides Tom Hiddleston’s Loki. i loved the respect/portrayal of cultures in this, more of this hollywood please the costumes were great and very well thought out. I also enjoyed the music both the score and the kendrick songs, all those lovely African instruments and rythyms. Fantastic.
all in all i was very impressed and i highly recommend 9/10

it’s been a day and my brain has been clogged with avengers endgame thoughts at work, so. i’ll write them down, very incoherently. spoilers, obviously
- as i said on twitter, it should be illegal to hire hiroyuki sanada to make him LOSE a KATANA fight. AGAINST HAWKEYE !!!!!!!!! the disrespect !!!!!!!!!!
- talking about disrespect. the russos really hate thor huh ? they just turned him into one very long, very uncomfortable fatphobic joke thru this movie that supposedly wraps up the OG avengers’s arcs, huh ?
- im glad i saw korg tho. and frigga. valkyrie screentime wasnt nearly enough.
- endgame!thor is like... loki who ? wild.
- HAWKEYE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE WHO DIED. he’s a criminal. racist. he’s awful. he has no character. his actor is even shittier than scarlett. why does HE get the happiest ending ?
- god natasha really deserved better. where’s HER funeral. for 5 years she WAS the avengers. how did rocket, rhodey, okoye, carol, nebula react ?? they’ve seen her a lot more than these whiny men who throw benches into lakes for the last few years !!!!!!!!!
- goood That One “girl power ! see we have a lot of female superheros other than black widow now so it’s fine ! they kick ass and help one another !” Sequence was SO unsubtle sdbjdfjgkgf. i mean i ate it tf up but still.
- the final battle....... yeah. YEAH OK. ALRIGHT. thor, tony, and steve fighting thanos ? wig. all of captain marvel ? WIG. wanda finally getting to show off her immense powers ? good for her. i could go on.
- while on the topic of good things. tony, scott, and steve praising steve’s ass. ok. i felt seen.
- i felt so relieved when tony died sjldfgklhfh please don’t hate me. rhodey, rescue!pepper and peter were the highlights of his death
- the russos said sambucky.... has some rights !! we out here
- you know when joe russo came onscreen i was like “hey!” and then he said “he” about his date and i was like “nice!” but when i left the movie and realised... that was their “first openly gay character in a marvel movie”........ i HAD to laugh. carol’s haircut is RIGHT THERE
- black panther was wildly acclaimed... so they marketed the hell out of wakanda for infinity war... but ultimately there was very little screentime for it VS captain marvel was very well received... so they marketed the hell out of her for endgame.... but ultimately she has very little screentime. makes u think
- okoye was alive THIS WHOLE TIME. was it too much to ask for a quick scene of her running damage control in wakanda or something ? WHY WAS I DENIED DANAI GURIRA
- so the people that were dusted then came back effectly jumped 5 years into the future from their perspective. that HAS to have some repercussions like ?? I FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE IMPORTANT and dont say it’ll probably be treated in future films ! maybe yeah ! what of it ! i watched THIS movie
- i don’t know when i started to feel this strongly about that, but @ scott lang : you are my daaaad (you’re my dad!) boogie woogie woogie. he saved everyone
- the fuck is up with hulk and bruce. i dont get this development.
- me @ endgame!steve : who the FUCK are YOU
- the time travel bullshit gets a pass because it’s time travel bullshit. but steve’s ending ?? THAT SHIT WAS WACK AS HELL. IT MAKES NO SENSE !!!!!!!! i did feel soft at peggy and steve finally getting their dance but that’s it ! like steve’s whole arc has been about moving on, finding new friends and family, he JUST GOT SAM AND BUCKY BACK and he’s just like. bye lol. im gonna let hydra do their nazi shit and torture bucky and stuff. if i understand the laws of time travel in this universe, old!steve shouldn’t have been able to come back exactly where he left US without anything changed, he should be in an alternate timeline.
- and we’re just supposed to accept that he returned the stones just like that ?? what happened when he returned the soul stone ??? to red skull ?????? did he INJECT JANE with the aether ??????
- when bucky saw steve and stood back while telling sam to go to him... like, i know he’s not an emotional person, but...... me @ endgame!bucky : who ARE you
- sam’s gonna be cap tho !!
- steve’s arc : he moves on. steve’s ending : he doesn’t. thor’s arc : he matures and leads his people. thor’s ending : he doesn’t. im so mad. the russos said fuck R’s rights ESPECIALLY.
- there were... really really cool moments sprinkled in this goddamn mess. but it’s still a goddamn mess
EDIT : ALMOST FORGOT BUT STEVE LIFTING MJÖLNIR !!!!!!!!!! MY ASS WAS GONE but also wtf at it calling lightning. it channels thor’s power if cap wields it it’s just gonna be a powerful hammer shdldfkgmgk the russos HATE taika waititi

Twice my age//Andrew Lincoln
Request: Can you please do super kinky Andy smut where the reader is way younger than him like 20 and she auditions for a part in twd and gets the part and then gets to know Andy really well and one day he has to like drive her home from work or something and things heat up either in the car or at her house, you can decide. Please and thank u so much! ❤❤
Note: Switched it up a little
Warnings: smut, swearing
A few months ago, I tried out for a part on The Walking Dead, and got it. I was introduced recently, early in season seven as a Savior. Despite how much Rick hates all the saviors, Andy and I get along pretty well in real life. I got along with a lot of the others, on screen there was a hate between the Alexandrians and the Saviors.
Behind the scenes, we all get along and have a good time. There’s no bad blood between us, we’re all one family. I was younger than a lot of the rest of the cast, in my twenties, I was between everyone else and Chandler. It was hard. It was hard to ignore my feeling towards Andy, as if he wasn’t already hard enough to reach, I was much younger.
I walked out my trailer to see Norman laughing, phone in Andy’s face while he sat in his car looking very unamused. I walked to see what had happened, Andy was covered with glitter and guessing by the laughs from Norman, it was one of his pranks.
“I’m sweating” Andy spoke as I approached even closer.
“Y/n, you missed it! It was so good” Norman struggled to contain his laughter.
I chuckled as Norman repeated the video for me.
“Don’t show her” He mumbled.
“Why? Scared she won’t like your bad attitude?” Norman teased.
“I mean, you are a little cranky” I agree with Norman.
Andy shot a fake smile before going to start his car again, more confetti spilled onto him. I couldn’t help but laugh. The confetti stuck to him.
“I gotta go, meeting a friend at a bar. See you guys tomorrow?” Norman asked.
“Yeah, we’ll be here” I nodded.
“Love ya, Andy” He said and giggled while running off to his bike.
That left Andy and I. I looked at him, he looked exhausted and ticked off.
“I can give you a ride home, then we can come back tomorrow and clean out your car” I suggested.
“If you don’t mind” He replied hesitantly.
“I wouldn’t have offered” I spoke with a smile.
“Only thing is, I drive”
“My car?” I asked almost in shock.
“Don’t trust me or something?” He spoke with a smirk.
“Fine” I shrugged and tossed him my keys.
We walked to my car before both settling in. He purposely revved the engine before we started to scare me, it worked. I hit his arm playfully.
“Drive, asshole” I spoke.
When on the road, we listened to music in the background as we talked.
“Norm said you were scared for me to see your attitude, does that mean anything or?” I started to ask as it had been bothering me.
“It’s just Norm, being Norm, Don’t stress about it” He scoffed.
“Oh” I said monotone, disappointed.
“Why? What’s wrong?” Andy asked.
“Nothing” I sighed.
I had always though Andrew was cute, even from the seasons of Walking Dead I watched from my couch at home. Working with him and not exploding was even harder. I wished he could feel the same about me, but I was a little no one. Irrelevant to him and his name, I had nothing to mine, yet at least.
“Don’t pull that shit with me, y/n” Andy almost threatened.
“I just wish you liked me” I confessed as he parked in the hotel parking lot. I got out before I could get a response, I wasn’t ready yet.
As we walked inside, Andy replied when he caught up to me.
“I do like you”
“As a co worker, friend if I’m lucky” I stepped into the elevator, him following.
“What if I liked you more?” He asked, the elevator arrived at our floor, he made me wait for that response.
“I’d think you’re trying to make me happy, but you don’t have to. Only say it if you mean it” I walked out the elevator, passing Norman “Did plans fall through?” I asked him, breaking away from my conversation with Andy.
“Yeah, what’s with you two? Little trouble in paradise?” He teased.
“You have to have the paradise before the trouble in it, asshole” I scoffed.
“Will you listen to me now? I’m here” Andy waved at me before pulling me away from Norman and to his room.
He unlocked his door and walked inside, I followed. He closed the door and turned to me.
“If I kissed you, right now, what would you do?” He asked me.
“I don’t know, I-I” He cut me off with that said kiss.
I didn’t react for a second, but then I did. I kissed back, pretty hard. He pushed me back onto his bed before pulling away to look at me.
“Damn” He spoke.
“What?” I asked.
“Never thought this would happen”
“Me either” I replied, wrapping my hands behind his neck and down to my lips.
He ground his hips against my core, making me moan out. I rocked my hips with his to get anything I could. He worked his hands under my shirt and pulled it off, I returned the favor to him. He moved hastily, unbuttoning my pants and ripping them off so hard it hurt, but I didn’t mind. He stood up and kicked off his jeans.
He then hovered over me, kissing down my neck, chest and stomach to my hips. I grabbed at his hair, needing something to grab onto.
“Andy, s-stop” I gasped.
He looked up at me with his blue eyes from my waistline.
“Why?” He asked with concern.
“What is this? One night? Relationship?”
“Whatever you want it to be, I’d prefer option b, but it’s up to you”
“But what will the people say?” I grabbed his face and he came up to my face “You’re almost twice my age”
“Fuck what the people say, I want you and that’s what matters. Now, let me love you” He whispered and kissed me again.
As he pulled away, be tugged at my bottom lip, earning a groan from me. He pulled off my underwear and then his. He hovered above me, eye contact was made.
“Can I go?” He asked for permission.
“Yes” I sighed.
He slowly thrusted into me, I gasped out pleasure. It had been a while for me and it was so good. He stopped once he was all the way in, filling me all the way. He slowly pulled out and then pushed back it, working up to a pace that we could work with.
He straightened up his stance so he could see everything. His cock thrusting in and out of me. I reached my hand down and started to rub my clit, trying to bring me closer.
“Shit, babe” He cursed “I feel you squeezing my cock. Come on, y/n, come for me. All for me” He thrusted faster.
“Andrew, oh my- oh!” I moaned as I reached my high.
My legs shook with my orgasm. My eyes rolled to the back of my head in so much pleasure.
“You should see the view” He grunted as he pulled out and came onto my lower stomach.
He fell onto the bed next to me. We laid on out backs, catching our breath.
“Shower?” he asked.
“Yeah” I replied.
“Morning” Norman smiled at Andy and I as we arrived on set, about fifteen minutes late.
“Morning, man” Andy greeted him.
Norman just continued to smile, teeth now showing.
“What the fuck is with the smile, Norm?” I asked.
“How was your night last night? Get a lot of sleep?” He asked.
My face went red, I turned to Andy. He pulled me close and laughed.
“No, we did not get too much sleep” He replied honestly.
“Does that mean you are a thing now? For real?” Norman cheered.
I looked up at Andy for reconfirmation, he nodded with a grin.
“Yeah” I replied.
“They’re together!” Norman yelled to the crew, hopping around “Finally! Where’s my twenty bucks, Danai?!”

Clayray Closeout 2018
Another momentous year has passed, and I am feeling reflective about my tastes and my year, so once again, clayray is closing out the year. Usually I don’t do this, but this year, I traveled a lot, like A LOT a lot, and I made the move across the country to LA, so before I reflect on my media consumption, here is a list of all the places I went to this year:
January - Baltimore for a baby shower February - San Francisco Sonoma for a wine tasting trip with college friends March - New York City to see musicals April - Las Vegas for PBS TechCon Two days after getting back - Sarasota for Roadshow Less then a week after - Tulsa for Roadshow May - San Francisco for CAAMFest Louisville for Roadshow Literally the day after - LA San Diego for Roadshow June - Detroit for Roadshow Toronto with mom Montreal to see Sarah July - Charlotte to meet up with Colleen and Katy Smoky Mountains for a bridal shower New Hampshire for a wedding September - Moved to LA! October - San Francisco for a wedding Boston Newport for a wedding November - Florida for Thanksgiving
Whew! As you can see, August and December were the only months that I didn’t travel, and that was because August was spent preparing for my big move and in December, my family came to me. What with layovers, I was on 33 flights plus 5 significant buses plus several “road trips” with friends/family, too. And some of these trips were so back-to-back that I barely spent any time sleeping in my own bed!
Now, I’m still in a weird period of transition, but soon enough, I will develop a routine and establish a place here. I moved across the country with no job, no apartment, and very few friends, and it was a humongous change to make. But as scary and hard as it can be, I think I have enough faith in myself that it will all work out and I will be okay. And with that, I’m looking forward to 2019!
But meanwhile, continuing to look back:
Music - Artists
La Luz
Joywave
Jesse McCartney
Younha
Saint Motel
30 Seconds to Mars
Betty Who
The Aces
BTS
Infinite
As always, artists that I saw live are a huge presence in this list: La Luz, Saint Motel, 30 Seconds to Mars, and Betty Who, and technically I was walking up to the venue when Joywave was playing (which I am still bitter about, for the record.) Other artists I saw live this year: MisterWives and Walk the Moon opening for 30 Seconds to Mars, Tamia, Duckwrth and Buyepongo at the Made in LA Festival literally my second day in LA, Gymshorts opening for La Luz, Vincent Vallières and Brigitte Boisjoli and Martha Wainwright and Michel Rivard and Klô Pelgag at the Fete in Montreal, Bleachers, Sara Bareilles at MisCast, Dionysia and Bazmati Vice, Gryffin, and I guess technically I saw Pregnant Boy.
I have been in love with Jesse McCartney since I was 11 and he released new music this year, which I adored (which you will soon see in the Top Tracks), so of course he’s that high up. Similarly, Younha released an excellent album this year and I’ve always loved her. I actually didn’t find Infinite’s album particularly thrilling, but I guess I liked it well enough that I wouldn’t skip their songs whenever they came up.
I had actually listened to The Aces before, but this year was when I really got into them. Their album is stellar and I love their sound and their look!
And as for BTS, my mom’s actually a huge fan and there was no escaping their immense worldwide popularity. I remember when they debuted! It’s great to see how they have grown to be the K-Pop group that has “made it” to the States.
This is the first time in a long time that my all-time favorites like Secret and McFly haven’t been in the top. Secret’s disbandment really hurt, even though we all saw it coming, and I’m still not over it.
Odesza didn’t make it up to the very top, but I also listened to them a lot with my boyfriend. :)
Music - Albums
Younha - RescuE
The Aces - When My Heart Felt Volcanic
Infinite - TOP SEED
Hamilton OBCR
Alexz Johnson - A Stranger Time
Dan Masterson - When Reality Calls
La Luz - Floating Features
Janelle Monáe - Dirty Computer
Eric Nam - Honestly
Anastasia OBCR
Unsurprisingly, my top artists are showing up in the top albums. I was surprised to see that the Hamilton OBCR was so high, but then I remembered that I featured it heavily in my 4th of July playlist that I played during my party. I’ve been fond of Alexz Johnson since Instant Star, even though I didn’t actually watch the show, and my friend Schuyler and I had a bit of a phase reminiscing about that era of “teen show” singers like her and also Drake Bell.
Dan Masterson is, full disclosure, a friend of mine from college, but his album is really excellent, and you should check it out if you’re interested in piano-based singer-songwriter tunes!
What is there to say about Janelle Monáe except that she is a beacon of brilliance, and we are lucky just to be able to witness it.
The other musical on this list is Anastasia, which is one of the musicals I saw this year. I saw it on Derek Klena’s last evening performance, which is actually one of two times that I saw him. I also saw him in Jagged Little Pill at the A.R.T (he is not the best part of that show, though, Lauren Patten’s “You Oughta Know” is hands down unequivocally the showstopper). The other musicals I saw this year were Allegiance, Hello! Dolly, and I saw the Genies’ Jukebox. Not a musical, but I also saw the off-Broadway show Puffs, which was hysterical.
I’m not sure why I didn’t pay attention as much, but Death Cab’s album this year is pretty great. I didn’t love the Arctic Monkeys’ album as much as I wanted to, though they actually just missed being in my Top Artists by 10 listens. Robyn’s album this year was also pretty stellar, but it was released pretty late in the year.
Movies
As always, subjective ranking and not numbers-based.
Won’t You Be My Neighbor? Okay, biased, what with my children’s media thing and PBS thing. Tbh I don’t even like documentaries that much, but this one. I wept. And we really needed this film right now.
Blindspotting I saw this at the Independent Film Festival Boston, with a Q&A with Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal afterwards, and just wow. This is an incredible tour de force. Brilliantly crafted and visceral and hilarious, too. I know a bunch of people were drawn to it because of Daveed Diggs and his Hamilton fame, but genuinely, he and Rafael Casal’s passion for this film and overwhelming talent shine through in this.
Searching Look, I love love loved Crazy Rich Asians and Asian August and Asian-American women bringing back the rom com. As an Asian-American woman, I have been waiting for so long for this to happen. But I picked Searching because as a film, Searching takes the screen footage tactic, heretofore only really used in horror films, and capitalizes on it to such amazing dramatic and emotional effect. John Cho is fantastic, of course in this very tense and very stressful film.
Black Panther I cannot believe it hasn’t even been a year since Black Panther. Can we start using the term BBP and ABP for Before and After Black Panther? I saw somewhere that Letitia Wright is the biggest box office star of the year, which is fabulous because she is fabulous (and a Disney princess!). The world-building is amazing, the action is amazing, the eye candy is amazing (Helloooooo Michael B. Jordan and Chadwick Boseman and Danai Gurira and Lupita Nyong’o and...you get the point).
Ralph Breaks the Internet I spent a lot of this film marveling at how only Disney could have pulled this off, this massive ambitious bringing together of so many brands and characters and, y’know, the internet. I also enjoy that this is not a romantic love story, and it is a story about love in other ways. Loving your friends and caring for them and respecting them is so important, and dealing with insecurity is as well. This is such a smart movie, and as somebody who cares about children’s media, that is the standard to which we should aspire.
Honorable Mentions: A Quiet Place (Though of the horror films this year, Hereditary and Annihilation were also very good), Madeline’s Madeline for Helena Howard’s performance, I Tonya because um duh figure skating but does not make the list because trying to pass off Margot Robbie as teenage was laughable, Three Identical Strangers
Movies I Want to See But Haven’t Yet: Eighth Grade, Sorry to Bother You, Support the Girls, Widows, Creed II, The Hate U Give, Halloween, Burning, RBG, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Dumplin’ (My roomie’s in it!)
Movies I Should See But Haven’t Brought Myself To Care About: A Star is Born, Mission Impossible: Fallout, Mary Poppins Returns, Green Book, Love Simon, Paddington 2
2020.12.02 EDIT: I was wrong about Paddington 2. It is an incredible film.
Television
Sharp Objects I’ve read the book (and own it somewhere...) but it had been a while, so Sharp Objects did what a good mystery does - even upon a revisit, the things you don’t remember are tantalizing and the discovery of new clues and revelations keep shifting your perspective and giving it a jolt each time. Amy Adams is phenomenal in this (as she always is) and Eliza Scanlen as Amma gives a piercing performance in this.
Queer Eye All of the remakes happening incessantly is tiring and also eyeroll-inducing (it’s cliche but honestly, where are the original ideas nowadays?), but then we get something like Queer Eye. Reality TV gets a hard rap, but with Queer Eye, you get the entertainment factor and also incredibly moving emotional heft as well. Also, I genuinely wonder at how Bobby gets all that house remodeling done and he doesn’t get enough credit for it!
The Haunting of Hill House I love the Shirley Jackson story and also the original movie (I have not watched the 90′s movie and I don’t think I ever will), so my only real gripe with this show is that I wish they didn’t call it The Haunting of Hill House because it really isn’t. But what it is, is a brilliant family drama launching off of the Hill House story. It is captivating and beautiful and spooky, and also the casting of the young kids is impeccable.
Nailed It! Sometimes you just need to guffaw over people’s ridiculous failures. This show doesn’t take itself too seriously and because it embraces the silly, it’s full of heart and joy.
Élite I love foreign teen dramas. I love murder...in my television/movies. Of course I was gonna love this show. But just because it has these two elements doesn’t mean that I automatically was going to think it’s a great show (It does probably mean I would automatically enjoy it, but that’s different). Both of these genres are rife with tropes, but this show takes them and executes them in such a way that it rings true and doesn’t distract from your enjoyment.
Honorable Mention: Memories of the Alhambra only because it’s still ongoing! It’s a brilliant way of looking at technology and combining it with all the elements of a K-drama that you could want. It’s kinda like if a good episode of Black Mirror (because goodness knows that quality varies) combined with a K-drama.
Also of mention are some excellent series that continued this year. I can’t believe I didn’t watch them when they first came out, but The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Big Mouth are both so so good. Though I have strong feelings about the second season of Maisel and think the Paris bit was just an awkward flex and should have been cut, and the Catskills could have been an entire series of its own. Also, I actually saw Nick Kroll do some readings of all the characters in Big Mouth at the Vulture Festival this year!
In addition to the show-watches-from-the-beginning that I am still working through (Parks and Rec, The Wire, Gilmore Girls, Mad Men, etc.) I’ve also started watching Ugly Betty and Strong Woman Do Bong Soon from the beginning.
There are a few new shows from this year that I really have been wanting to watch but haven’t yet: Killing Eve, Kidding, Homecoming. Mostly Killing Eve for Queen Sandra Oh and also the girl from MMFD!
Okay, whew! That’s enough of that. Where do I even find the time to watch all this stuff??
