#SaveLegendsOfTomorrow

[randahink]

Read my book please! 📗📕 so far reviews are pretty good it’s my first official book! So be nice if it’s not perfect, I’ve been writing fanfic for a while now and writing a book seems so much harder! But I hope everyone likes it!!

[randahink]

This is so true! I found a fic and it was so amazing, it was unfinished and i commented that i would love to see new chapters and how great it was! That author reached out and commented back and even updated two new chapters since. You never know, maybe they just needed a little motivation sometimes its everything a writer needs. Comment and let them know how much the story speaks to you, let them know how good it is and how much you are enjoying it. Especially fics for shows that are no longer on! People seem to stop writing for those characters but the fandom looks forward to more stories and the fanfics are the only way we are getting them!

I know a ton of people have said this before but for the love everything PLEASE stop treating AO3 like instagram. It is NOT cringe to comment on an old story. It’s an archive old stories are still meant to be found and read. Please think about interacting with the fic you read: at least kudos if you read it, a comment would be ideal. The authors will be over the moon. I guarantee you not a single author is going to ask why someone is commenting on an older fic.

Today's workout. Smashed it mate... gains will be achieved this year. #SaveLegendsOfTomorrow

So the Arrowverse has ended

... and the Legends are still in time jail and will remain there forever, because appearantly everyone from Caity to Keto are fine with that being the ending and the message. A lot of fans are fine with it as well and Eric Wallace did find it okay as well.

So appearantly I am the odd one because I don’t want the last message of “Legends of Tomorrow” to be did queer people belong in jail. How dare I to want to #SaveLegendsofTomorrow?

Well I am done saving. Since everyone is fine with not giving them an ending and Eric Wallace deemed them unworthy of getting even a line in the final Arrowverse Season there is no point anymore.

Greg Berlanit has in the end told us this: We should be dead or in jail, this is where we belong, the only ones that matters are the married white men, preferable the straight ones.

Not surprising but still disappointing.

So, season 7. So good, so painful to see that cliffhanger again.

Final ranking I think is;: 3 and 4, 7, 5 and 6, 2, 1.

Again, 2 and 1 are not too far, especially 2. I love the whole show and i still hold a tiny hope that we might get at least 1 long last episode.

Rewatching Legends of Tomorrow

Finished watching season 5 and although it had a lot of great stuff and I consider it another pretty good season, I don't think I'd place it over 3 and 4.

So: 3 and 4 (tie), 5, 2, 1.

I seem to remember season 6 being my least favorite, but we'll see. I know I didn't really dislike any season. Not even season one which many do. Sure, it's very different from what the show ended up being (ok, towards the end it started turning into it a bit?), but I still think it's good.

What A Year! 2022 in review - Part 1

A year of self-discovery, found fanmily, new favourites and new fandoms

My (a)sexuality and Legends Of Tomorrow

A random discussion in Nov 2021 with my (queerphobic) aunty reminds me of a comment my youngest sister made years ago which prompts me to investigate asexuality. It sounds like me but not sure I understand it idk, still have to think about it. I’ve gone back and forth over the years, am I straight, bi, a late bloomer, broken, is it my autism?

I don’t think of it about it again until Legends of Tomorrow 7x10 The Fixed Point airs, I truely cannot overstate how much this meant to me. While my cursory glance at asexuality left me wondering but confused this on the other hand; understand myself so much more, I feel seen, I don’t feel broken. Stuck in my throat are the words “that’s me,”, words I still can’t seem to say. I don’t know if my mum who’s watching the show with me understood, I don’t know if she saw my tweets later but I still can’t say the words, I don’t know why. I want to look more into asexuality but am still depressed so I don’t do it right away.

The penultimate episode of Legends of Tomorrow airs and I watched most of the episode thinking this would make a beautiful ending if the last episode fixed a few different things (a better end for Zari, real!Alun, etc) then I would love it as a series finale. I always worry about Legends of Tomorrow come renewal time. Then finale of Legends of Tomorrow airs; I love it but it completely fucks with the ‘I’d be okay if they ended here’ vibe I was getting from the previous episode. I take this and Booster Gold’s introduction to mean they are confident in renewal. I do contemplate if a little fan editing on the last 2 episodes could make it a conclusive ending. Which if I had the skills and equipment I would still like to do. When Legends of tomorrow is canceled I take to twitter to campaign.

It’s my first pride month knowing I’m ace. I up my #SaveLegendsOfTomorrow tweet game focusing on the amazing queer rep. I start to interact with the other campaigners but I’m shy. I look more in to asexuality something still seems to not fit. I find that many ace people IDed as bi or pan before finding out about asexuality. I also learn about the split attraction model and oriented aces. I find a new label that fits me biromantic. But I am still trying to reconcile my experience with those shared by other ace people, there’s still something missing, something that doesn’t line up with most others stories I read. I finally find what I am looking for, the missing piece, while lurking on reddit someone explaines what aegosexual is and these parts really clicked:

A disconnect between a person's self and the target of their arousal. Fantasising but envision people other than themselves, and/or view it in third person – as though they're watching it on TV, rather than imagining it in first person, through their own eyes.

Predominantly—or exclusively—fantasize about fictional characters or celebrities in place of people they know personally. Described like a spectator who enjoys sports, though has no desire to participate in the game itself.

-from The Asexuality Handbook and Sexuality Wiki

And like the last 2 labels I’m validated. And I finally make sense. Pride month comes to an end and I am whole.

The WBD merger and the subsequent cancellations leave me demoralised about saving Legends but I’ve found a fanmily I don’t want to give them up. When James Gunn tweeted out recognition of the campaign it gave me back my hope but honestly throughout it all the fanmily has be such fun I have thoroughly enjoyed goofing of with them, my year would not have been the same with out them 🫶. I also owe them for getting me to watch A League of Their Own.

EDIT - 1 week Later: ohhh okay yeah I’m aegoromantic too. So I’m Bi Aroace (Aego) and I made flags

ALOTO

After seeing this show in my tl constantly for 2 weeks I finally watch A League of Their Own. HOLY SHIT!!! I think I’m in love 😍 This show has changed me.

I instantly loved everyone, each character’s intro was brilliant, especially Max and Clance’s it really let you know the characters and that the show isn’t going to whitewash history and will also centre black voices. This show should be taught as a how to do representation in period pieces and on how to remake a film in to a series, centring marginalised voices, intersectionality, the underground worlds where they created for themselves, not shying away from the discrimination and violence but also showing the joy that people managed to carve out for themselves. The trauma and the joy beautifully interwoven.

Carson and Max’s dual stories complemented each other, showcasing the stark contrast of how a black woman and a white woman could interact in the world and showing how individual a queer journey is. Max and Carson’s stories have so many parallels, they are at different times polar opposites, mirrors, and echos of each other. Each at a different point in their journeys as both baseball players and as queer people. By utilising parallels the show drives home it’s themes; found family, following your dreams, determination and perseverance, being true to yourself. The most beautiful example of the parallels, the stark differences and the wonderful way the show’s storytelling is interwoven and intercut is of course episode 6, this has been analysed to death of course so I’ll leave that to the others.

Greta is an amazing complex character, her feminine mask, her anxiety and fear, her true self under the mask and walls she carefully maintains underneath the anxiety and fear. She didn’t want to fall in love, she didn’t believe she could love again, she wouldn’t let herself love again, wouldn’t let herself or someone else get hurt. But even constantly reminding herself that Carson was married, using it was a way to distance herself and to push Carson away, reminding herself that they only have the season, telling herself that she can’t, that she shouldn’t, she falls in love. When Joey is hurt and traded her flight instincts kick in, they usually leave at this point, they wouldn’t even let it get to this point, but of the course of the season Jo has found something, something worth sticking around for, and deep down so has Greta, but she is too scared she has to run, she can’t see someone else put away, she can’t be put away.

Shirley’s (aka me) arc was fantastic, I am 100% on board with OCD hc (also on board with autistic Carson hc), her fears that she would catch the gay was an ever present reminder that even among friends it’s not safe. She trusts Carson above all else, her reaction of betrayal and fear when she finds out about Gretson was terrifying and sad. I wanted her to accept it, to understand, I was praying she would sign her name on the wall, a sign it would be okay. The pay off of her questioning every fear she ever had was perfection.

Clance (aka my fictional BFF) is the funniest most wonderful person, she supports Max with all her heart, she will fight to the death for Max. She is pure and amazing. Just like Shirl her attitudes towards queer people are ‘of the time’ I think it was a great choice to have the characters that love and support the leads be some of the loudest queerphobic voices, showing how complex people can be and how complex navigating in the world is. I hope. Clance will be as open minded as Shirley.

I could go on, I love this show so much, I am afraid that it will be canceled, this year has not been kind in that regard.

“#SaveLegendsofTomorrow”

Will you all be quiet for once?!

[midnatt-heronweather]

2 shows, full of amazing representation and acceptance, both victims of their companies greed. I am proud to be a fan of both, * Raphael was actually AroAce in the books

[randahink]

I wrote a book guys! Maybe you could read it and tell me what you think! It’s on kindle unlimited available now! It was a FanFiction at first but became so much more so. So it’s my first stand alone story not attached to a fan base-

August photo dump, This was such a fun month, I had the opportunity to join #CollegeNow as a returning Scholar to give advise to college freshmen among two other great scholars (Kayla, and Kelara) - follow this link for the panel recording : https://youtu.be/KXKkWUi4Tv4 (link on my bio too). As always every month I take my advocacy days very seriously, and this time as one of the newest directors of the Sensible Movement Coalition I joined the crew at the Noohra Labs X Midwest CannaWomen event in Cleveland which it was educational and fun! My friends and I also went to the @akronpridefestival where we had so much fun and advocated to #SaveLegendsOfTomorrow and kick some christians out of the area making a safe zone once again lol! And last but not least as the new Community Engagement Specialist for @westparkkamms I joined the local #KammsCornersFarmersMarket this past Sunday which it was a great experience to get more in touch with my community and local farmers. That's August for me folks :) Events photo order - #AkronPride / #SaveLegendsOfTomorrow - @college_nowgc #CollegeExperience - @sensible_movement_coalition Tabling - @westparkkamms #KammsCornersFarmersMarket https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch3mTmBsvsJ8d3Tl5AAEOGezoABf43hTwUd3AU0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Wait what? 👀👀

[anthrobae]

The #SaveLegendsOfTomorrow campaign in Bangkok, Thailand today. The designs are mine but it involved many people in this project, especially @ywm22 on Twitter who proposed the idea and was willing to realize it even by herself alone.

Tuk Tuk cars are Bangkok’ signature. However, during the pandemic, Tuk Tuk drivers faced hardship as tourism became paralyzed due to borders and airports closing. K-pop fandoms were among the first who spent their money on Tuk Tuks ads instead of big ads companies. The movement was also political. Thai K-pop fandoms had been spending a lot of money the Bangkok Sky Trains to promote their idols. However, Sky train stations sometimes closed when there were street protests against the Thai government to prevent protesters to travel to the protest sites.

Anyway, to me it’s not about getting our show back. It’s more like a way to express my love for the show.

[esperastra]

y‘all started at least three different petitions so let me list all three in the same place. probably should focus on the one with the most signatures though.
