Fate The Winx Commentary

Good morning internet! Today is the drop of Winx: Riverdale edition! I sure hope you're ready for my aggressive and unnecessary commentary, because it is coming for you either way!

The netflix landing page lets us know:

Fate The Winx Saga

6 episodes, 48-53 minutes each

"Genres: Fantasy TV Shows, Teen TV Shows, Italian TV Shows"

"This show is: Emotional"

As mentioned elsewhere, my Winx knowledge is limited, so I will be coming into this fairly fresh and will try to be unbiased. As I have seen trailers, the keyword here is Try.

Episode 1

'To the Waters and the Wild'

CW: Animal Death, Swears, Implied Child Death, Blood, Implied Teen Sex, Burns, Weed, Fatphobia, Whatever the term pussie falls under

Episode 1 TL;DR: We meet everyone, learn their dynamics, have the basics of the magic system beat into us, meet our monsters, and name drop Harry Potter. Standard first episode stuff.

I do want it on record before we start that I got about halfway into the first season of Riverdale, and the first season of Netflix Sabrina. They were, well, bland and boring imo? I did get through a few seasons of Teen Wolf, but that's because it was capable of Fun and Jokes. My current expectations are a few unintentionally funny lines, maybe some almost decent magic effects, and because it's 2021, one whole gay character (I did hear one of the boys (there are boys?) is bi, but also an asshole so I'm hoping for some wlw)

TV-MA LANGUAGE AND SMOKING OH FUCKING BOY Almost full moon (waxing) in opening shot- I Will be tracking moon inconsistencies if it keeps showing up that is a pet peeve but hey look a bunch of sheep That's a good start (it's ominous though. don't hurt the sheep) Swears count: Feckin' 2 Mystical portal barrier. Oh yeah s5 of the magicians is on netflix now WELP THOSE ARE SHEEP GUTS RIGHT OUT THE GATE HUH For CW it's up a tree, and the dripping blood is a good warning of what's about to be seen :( oh and then the man who was looking for the sheep dies offscreen save for a spray of blood. THIS ISN'T YOUR CHILD'S WINX CLUB it seems to say. I assume. How much blood was in the original winx because this is already at least a full cup. (Also the monster noises for whatever was chasing the man (werewolf it was a werewolf trailers are bad guys) were not very good)

Opening credit scene is 5-6 different blooming elemental wings. They're pretty, but it's unclear if the last one is secret 6th member wings (because the second to last ones are fire which is the main character's element right?) so maybe we'll get a late 6th addition? (I am in I.T. please give me the most relatable character you cowards)

KIDS IN THE CORNER BY AMBER VAN DAY PLAYING I like where they shot this but that might just be european woods pretty. The opening location was nice and mossy save for the sheep blood Fancy big stone school establishing shots (it's nice, and huge) and we land on a red head who seems less than pleased to be here Courtyard shot of... whatever the name of the replacment plant girl is, holding a tray of various potted plants for an older man (father? first day of school send off maybe?) Aisha(?) walks by, not talking to anyone, Stella(?) is taking Magical!Selfies with at least 3 other girls, Musa(?) has a suitcase and headphones and smiles at a passing girl Oh boy a boy with a pocketknife doing little tricks with it! Nothing says edgy like an actual knife edge. Gonna take this moment to point out I have some level of face blindness and while the girls all look fairly different from one another, if there is more than one tall blonde white boy as I fear there may be, I WILL NOT be able to tell them apart. Not through maliciousness, just general incompetence, so anything I say about the boy characters (I want to say they're the knights to the girl's faeries? is that right? this whole thing smacks of gender) should be taken with a heap of salt I've come to accept tv just. displaying text messages on screen as a storytelling method. It's never my favorite but it just Is a modern story element. Also Bloom needs to meet stella at the alfea gates Alfea I presume is the school- does the name mean something? It sure feels like the word elf and therefore fae but I don't feel like googling anything this early in Oh look two more blondish tall white boys. Pocketknife was wearing something else i think, one guy has a brown jacket and pink shirt (bad combo), the other looks old even by tv highschool/college standards and his jacket has a jock vibe. Jock jacket also has an earring? Is this the bi character who is an asshole? From this one second of him, only in profile, I will assume yes, he is an asshole I like Bloom's backpack Pink shirt looks at Bloom from across the quad. I am already tired of this romance Cool he walks up to someone he has identified as lost, and is 'impressed with [her] confidence in the face of complete ignorance' COMING OUT OF THE GATE WITH A NEGG HUH PINKY He even states he wasn't offering help Then Why Are You Talking To Her Jackass Subs are going with the fairy spelling, and Bloom confirms she is a fairy and we confirm this is College. Unless this is a european thing where they call schools different things. I think that's just for public and private? And maybe just england? I'm American all they teach us is 1492-ww1 over and over for like. 10 years sorry Rest of the World 'What Realm are you from?' 'California' Speaking of ameri-centric, I'm gonna Guess that original Winx, the italian cartoon, didn't have their main character be from cali usa? I am presuming this is a side effect of making this property for a more global distribution than I'm guessing winx was originally conceived as back in the early 00s The Otherworld. I assume this is the fairy realm and whatnot? And the magic school. Seems to be located behind a magical barrier in the earth realm?? If that's right it seems weird if basically everyone who goes to the school is from the otherworld Pinky doubles down on his rudeness but in a Fun and Cute way because :/ and the Specialist hall is Very Pretty, oh and there's a fairy hall. Are specialists the boy...things? magi knights? bros of the blade? guys who wear those 'here come a special boy' sneakers from that one comic? Stella sees this conversation which is great because they drop the term mansplain. why would otherworlders know that term even??? Edgey(?) sees Pinky and they hug it out Stella knows Americans are the type to wander off so I guess there's a lot of inter-world connections?

Miss Dowling- is this teacher going to be like the pedo in riverdale who got *checks notes* killed off by one of multiple serial killers later on? Dowling is the headmistress, gotta keep the otherworld a secret from earthers, time and place for portal making. all standard fantasy stuff so far, nothing to make this stand out Stella has a gateway ring, and frankly isn't too nice? all the backgrounders clothing is Bland and very normal 7 realms of the otherworld, Solaria is where Alfea is, i like magic globe Incase you forgot this was a modern tale, people update their insta stories here. 'I was kindof bummed I didn't see a single pair of wings' YOU AND ME BOTH BLOOM 'We had wings in the past, transformation was lost, tinkerbell was an air fairy' This is either a cop out for your glittery cowardice, or a set up for the main girls re-finding transformation magic later. I did like the Tink bit Bloom is a fire fairy and the subtext of this conversation is that bloom's magic did Something bad. I hope it was burn down her old school's gym a la buffy movie I like miss Dowling but in the I wouldn't Be Surprised if you turned out to be Evil way, and I guess Alfea is a very privileged upper crust school. What types of college do normal fairies go to then huh? damn privileged fairies 'our students have gone on to do amazing things like re-discover long lost magics' We Get It. You will give me Wings, but Only If I'm Patient Dowling throws a jab at Bloom about power control, but I like her necklace so It's Fine

Bloom video calls her parents while unpacking in the dorm, which may have come pre-fit with a heck ton of board games? Love it. Or new plant girl brought them along with her many plants Stella has a fancy mirror and lots of jewelry and fashion photos and makeup, Musa has a laptop and apparently not much else, gotta get those establishing personalities down I guess 'Ladies of the Flies honey don't be sexist' Bloom's dad for feminist of the year (these jokes are bad but i guess we can call it a dad joke as justification) Asiha gives Bloom a look and saves her from the call with her parents- yay friendship step one achieved Blooms parents think she's in the alps because magic secrets and what not Aisha asks bloom if she's never read harry potter and I guess Bloom is a potterhead (that's the term right?). Is this self awareness that all magical school fantasy series have the same basic bricks?  Bloom is a ravenclaw sometimes slytherin, Aisha is a Gryffindor Stella is changing because she's the fashion one and has a fun pastel rainbow skirt, and uses magic to make a real aggressive lamp. She's also a mentor (maybe older than the others by a bit?) I am assuming Stella here is something along the lines of a diplomats daughter the way she talks about appearances. She better get down and dirty later on to show her growth about how some things are more important than looks yada yada Fairy magic powered by strong emotions, i am waiting for bloom's backstory to be movie x-men rogue style tragedy Terra! Which. Of course is the Plant Fairy's name. Stella is a little mean to her about the plants and she takes it with a smile and some subtle snark back using classic literature Oh that's fun Terra points out the name-plant thing, and name drops her cousin Flora. That's. The one they replaced with Terra right? Terra's dad works in the greenhouse at the school which explains earlier (and her mum is named rose) Stella is indeed a second year and Musa's eyes change for. Lie detecting magic? and loves her headphones (Overstimulation?) Aisha wants somewhere to swim and we cut to a 'pond' by specialist training. Assuming she wants to sim because she's a water fairy, why Don't they have a pool? also this pond looks. Unpleasant for swimming

Girl specialist! Does that mean we have boy fairies? Boys. Fighting. Talking about girls. All gingers are nuts. Thanks edgelord AMAZING SHAGS THOUGH 'I didn't realize your hand was a red-head' it's not truly edge if we don't talk about sex every 10 minutes Subtitles earlier only said boy 1 boy 2 but now pinky or edgy is Riv Edgy smokes weed, and pinky is a big brother figure to him, and the head? of the special boys doesn't like edgy. Me neither older guy Bit of swordplay, more girls, every specialist has black training outfits, very military Pinky is Sky who is son of Guy of Place. an important lad. without context this is meaningless to me There's a giggly boy who laughs at the idea of a war in the future and gets a talking to. I suspect this boy will be re-occurring enough to die- he has those tertiary character elements with his intro and such (and he's black so I am prepared for your standard racist murder choices) Burned Ones exist outside the barrier, which makes me wonder if dead shepard was in the otherworld? There was nothing establishing that he was in any type of Other place but :/ Oh look edgey is having a smoke cross the barrier while we learn about the creatures that live beyond it. Time to find out these creatures no one young has ever seen are still kicking Specialist leader had to kill his own pa after a burned one got him. They also. Used a shotgun when trying to fight it. Do specialists even have powers or are they just good with weapons? Edgey finds the shepards corpse. Mostly blood 'it's been 16 years since the last sighting' 'Rosalind killed all the burned ones' ahh magical creature genocide hey when is abarat 4 coming out. and is rosalind hot?

School, gossip, Aisha and Musa are snarking at Tera for thinking the guy died of natural causes because we need to have these characters not actually like each other to make it stand out when they do Aisha talks about how she eats a lot and if she didn't swim she'd be massive and we cut to the plus sized tera looking uncomfortable are we really doing this? Tera points out that Musa was ignoring her earlier and it's all just uncomfortable and not great character conflict (but I thought I saw Musa holding an honest to god ipod? it's blue but it could be a phone case. Her hand is in the way) tera and dad interaction is nice, i'm also convinced they couldn't afford more than 3 magic adults

Girl with braids and metal in her hair! There were witches in winx right? Like 3 minor antagonist girls? I assume this is one of them. Because she has alternative fashion and is therefore evil /s Beatrix. Names in this series leave something to be desired (that something is subtly. I get it, they're carry overs from a series for a younger audience, she-ra had the same issue, but i can still poke fun) Swear count: Arsehole 2 Bollocks 1 Shit 1 She's a weird ass kissing with clearly ulterior motives

Bloom is Studying and her notebook is just FAIRY MAGIC POWER = EMOTIONS LOVE FEAR? HARTED? FIRE FAIRY CONTROL? in case you weren't paying attention Oh a flashback already to the magic triggering event? Her mother had pointed out she's an introvert, and past!Bloom doesn't Party. She goes Antiquing and is a Weird Loner (her 'basic bitch' of a mom's words) Swear count: Bitch 1 Bad daughter count: 1 Bad mother count: 1 Magic glowy eyes for Bloom: 1

Bloom Hates Parties and asks Pinky I mean Sky where she can be Away from People and he fears he'll be Mansplaing to her to. vague that it's dangerous outside instead of saying 'hey there's monsters and someone was just killed by possible one of them stay in the barrier' Stella wants to talk to Sky because they have History. I did hear there was a love triangle between these three. I am bored and everyone at this party is a nosey bitch who is watching their tense conversation. Also Something? Happens when Stella gets upset [mystical warbling] Random magic effects in the (very pretty) forest Bloom is trying to practice her magic on her own, and to do that she's gotta look at sad teen pics. And look, her burnt bedroom from her first power usage The fire magic is pretty good. I think fire is like. the opposite of water when it comes to cg where it almost always looks pretty good, while I swear i've seen the actual ocean look like a shitty render Magic out of control, bloom can't control her emotions, Aisha can stop her with water magic which makes some nice steam Bloom is angry at aisha for saving her. So far 3 of the 5 girls are abrasive at best remember when people made characters likeable? Swear count: Shit 1 (but it doubles as the literal meaning because of flooded toilets) Swear count: Bitch 1 Ass 1 Taking away your teen's door is. Really shitty. Not almost burn down your house worthy but damn cheerleader mom I do not understand sleep shirts with buttons. That seems painful if you lie the wrong way? Her mom was seriously burnt by first magic usage that's a backstory Shit count +1 Main character aspect time: dormant fairy blood line? awfully strong magic for that. baby who died day after it was born and now she's here? ...I was going to say changeling thanks aisha A Barbaric practice loving hints at long term world lore Hell is a bad word for kids!! Cutting to headmistress and her secret passage after finding out bloom is secret pureblood? this really is a harry potter thing

edgelord offers giggly some booze, and says pussies twice because he's Edgey and does peer pressure Tera calls him out and knows he's a sad nerd in disguise not a 'badass' and he says she's 'three people in disguise' because fatphobia shit +1 arehole +1 tera. chokes out edgelord with a vine because she's had enough of this shit. good for her edgelord is Riv, and he lived

OBLIGATORY GOOGLE SEARCH FOR THE TERM CHANGELING REMEMBER BELLA'S VAMPIRE GOOGLE GOD I LOVE TEEN FANTASY AND THEIR INSTANCE ON GOOGLING COMMON FANTASY TERMS OH hey the lamp bloom brought with her is the one she was fixing at home that's a nice touch Stella bonds with Bloom about homesickness, and the takes a selfie Musa is a mind fairy. So she. Is a telepath with purple eye magic? Oh there's types of 'connections' Memory, thought (others but i am cut off from the lore) Stella did Something to someone who Talked To Her Man last year and now lent Bloom her teleportation ring to send her some because miss mentor really cares more about her shitty man then helping the girls she's in charge of First World- earth Old Cemetery? Very Sexy. and bloom sweetie don't leave a mystical gateway open, and how will you explain to your parents how you're back so fast Wait she's only 16? SO this really is some european college where that's a funny way of saying High School Fire guilt, bad feelings about life shattering revelations, better connection with mother. I gotta say I have low expectations of this show carrying the family connection through the rest of this. That conversation felt more like a Hey We Made These Movements Onto Other Stuff Now

Lighting choices are interesting, with green, orange and purple for creepy warehouse. THE Creepy Warehouse where she would sleep without her parent's knowledge wow right that GIRL DROPS THE DAMN RING AT THE FIRST SIGN OF burned one looked more alien than werewolf-y here Decent Horror movie looks, and dude stole her ring. Rude. Saved by the headmistress, and tera/aisha/musa are here to great her Stella can't be here though because she has to greet a half naked freshly showered sky because life is suffering and producers insist people like to see teens half naked (who. Who?) shit +1 and she dumped him. pity part of one and using it to try to get your bone on. HEY A SONG I KNOW. IT'S WHATSITCALLED FROM THE BAYONETTA COMMERCIALS WAY BACK WHEN. in for the kill la roux. I do wish netflix would either commit to telling you what song was playing or didn't tell you at all

Riv offers Beatrix a hit from his joint because what Is a Bad Kid hasn't changed in like 70 years Blowing pot smoke into someone's mouth isn't as sexy as ya'll seem to think it is Musa has cute sleep socks with little pom poms, and I love Tera's floral jammies Tera offers a bluetooth speaker so they can listen to music together Musa also calls out Tera's fake happiness this is the good shit character interaction i live for Musa Empath Mind Fairy 'somber indie music'

If you kill a burned one in the human world Something? Extra bad happens? So the headmistress knows Bloom's a changeling, and ohhh that's the last time a burned one was spotted. Is Rosalind the famed Monster Slayer the birth mother of Bloom? Tera text flirts with Giggly who IS NAMED DANE and has a thing for. Sky? Riv? I told you these boys all look the same to me so if it's a half naked pic on fairy insta i'm out of context clues. Crymeariv is the insta name that answers that. Is this the slow burn enemies to lover mlm i can't finish this sentence i don't care riv is a dick Stella and Sky are in a bed and she doesn't seem to have a top on so Implied sexy times? MYSTERIOUS HOODED AND ROBED FIGURE CROSSES THROUGH THE BARRIAR AND SHOOTS THE BURNED ONE WITH LIGHTNING MAGIC OH IT'S beatrix

alt-J – Adeline as an ending song

[merakiaes]

Hello! Can I get Marvel, Harry Potter, Twilight, Stranger Things, The Witcher, Peaky Blinders, The Walking Dead, Suicide Squad, Game Of Thrones ship? 💖 179 cm tall; dark brown, past shoulder-length hair with bangs; blue eyes (the left eye is mixed with hazel, aka, heterochromia iridium); heptagon face shape with dimples; rectangle body shape. Hufflepuff. INFP-T. Bi-curious. Pisces-Aries cusp sign. ”Looks like could kill you, but is actually a cinnamon roll.” At first, I may come off as reserved, shy, yet polite. I, as many of us, have a resting bitch face, that’s why people may think that I’m in a bad mood. It takes me a lot of time to warm up to somebody, cause I have social anxiety. Hate small talk, or speaking in front of the public. When I’m nervous, I tend to mess up my words or forget what I was supposed to say. I’m usually playful, dirty-minded and goofy around close friends. I’m the so-called, ”fashionista and mom” from my circle of friends. A perfectionist, punctual, over-thinker, slight control/clean freak. Stubborn in some situations. If I’m annoyed or getting impatient, I can say something witty or sarcastic. I’m constantly fighting an inner battle with myself, trying to accept myself. I don’t like to smile or laugh in public, cause of the small gap between my front teeth. I really hate taking selfies or somebody else taking pictures of me. The clothes I wear depends on my mood (and the weather outside), but it’s always a mix of smart casual or comfortable. Don’t like doing things out of my comfort zone, prefer to stay indoors. Dislike asking people for help (it makes me feel uncomfortable). I don’t like arguments, but I will square up if they come for my family or I snapped. I’m a kind-hearted person, always ready to help someone in need, quite modest as well. My hobbies include listening to any type of music, reading, watching movies or tv shows, traveling (if given the chance), and cleaning. Have a thing for writing. Very protective of my family. Divorced parents. Motherly towards kids and friends. An old soul, and the ”black sheep” of my family. A feminist, support LGBTQ+ community. Sometimes I like to try and cook easy recipes. Dislike black coffee, prefer tea or orange juice. That’s it, - thanks!

MARVEL

I ship you with Bruce Banner!

He would be kind of wary and scared to talk to you to a start. The other guy may be big and strong, but he’s not. He doesn’t have much confidence in himself when in his human form and he would be intimidated by you at first glance, but once he actually works up the courage to come and talk to you, you’d get on great.

He knows what it's like to struggle with social anxiety so he would be patient and need some time to become comfortable with you, as well, scared of messing things up by saying the wrong thing and/or sharing too much. 

Like you, he rambles when he’s nervous so that’s just another thing you have in common, but once he’s comfortable with someone, he’s more than happy to participate in some sarcastic, dirty-minded banter. 

He’s very reserved and, like earlier mentioned, doesn’t have much confidence. He would never understand how someone like you would want someone like him but he would be so in awe of the fact that you did want him. 

He knows all too well what it’s like to be at odds with yourself and accepting who you are so he would be very understanding and supportive of that, and he’d comfort you about your insecurities and let you know that you’re more than good enough. 

You’re also very similar in that you prefer to stay indoors, away from all kinds of social activity, and not go out of your comfort zones while, as well as the way you’re both more than willing to help other people in need while disliking asking for help for yourselves.

HARRY POTTER

I ship you with George Weasley!

George is the literal definition of a cinnamon roll. He’s so kind, caring and thoughtful, and I feel like we don’t talk about that nearly enough. 

You’re shy and reserved, and he’s forward and energetic. You struggle to warm up to people, and he has no problem whatsoever getting to know new people. So I feel like it would be a good match. He would kinda just force all his energy onto you so that you, as a result, wouldn’t feel as anxious about meeting someone new, you know?

He could help you let loose a bit more, and I mean that in the most respectful way possible; not because you’re uptight, but more so to help relieve some of that stress and pressure that everything always has to be perfect.

He’s so loud as a person that neither you nor anyone else would even notice your mistakes, like messing up your words, because George and his twin just take the stage wherever they go. 

George loves pushing his limits and discovering new things so I feel like he’d definitely try to get you out of your comfort zones on some occasions, but at the same time, he’s a lot less pushy than his twin and would give up if he noticed that you really didn’t want to do something, whereas Fred probably would’ve just dragged you along by your arm and bugged you until you gave in.

He’d find your shy personality adorable to a start but once you got comfortable enough to show your playful, dirty-minded and goofy side, he would just be amazed and get even more excited around you. 

And knowing him, he’d love both your heterochromia and the gap between your teeth. He would find your eyes the most fascinating thing in the world, and he’s just generally a person who loves “different” and finds it beautiful. 

Being protective over family and loved ones is a plus for any of the Weasleys, seeing as the most precious thing they have is just that; family. So the fact that this is a quality you have would make George even more attracted to you, as would your motherly instincts.

 TWILIGHT

I ship you with Embry Call!

Like Bruce, Embry probably would’ve been a bit intimidated by you on first sight. Not only because of your resting bitch face, but also because he just has no experience with girls, whatsoever. 

After much encouragement from the other boys, however, he probably would’ve been able to work up the courage needed to approach you and most likely, knowing him, he would’ve stumbled over his words and completely messed up, so you’d never have to worry about messing up like that, yourself, because he would just be such a mess that it would be hard to beat. 

Embry is, like you, playful, dirty-minded and goofy when he’s in the right company, but he’s much quieter and shyer than the other boys on the reservation, as well as reserved in general - like you. He’s also a lot more caring and loving than his pack members but, like the rest of them, he’s very protective of family, which is just another thing the two of you share. 

Embry is a wolf so, obviously, he enjoys being outside and participating in fast-paced activities, but I don’t think he’d mind staying inside with you, watching movies, or just listening to music and hanging out. His mom definitely wouldn’t mind, as he’s technically grounded for life for sneaking out every night, which he keeps ignoring much to her dismay. 

He’s just so kind and humble. He’d be so sweet and supportive about your insecurities and never force you to do anything you’re not comfortable with, and he’d be all over your cooking, no matter how good or bad you are at it!

 STRANGER THINGS

I ship you with Jonathan Byers!

Jonathan knows everything about being the black sheep. He had to find himself and learn his value completely on his own, so he knows what it’s like to be at war with your own mind in accepting who you are. 

He believes that people should be judged by their ability to work rather than by what gender they are and that women should be respected just as much as men, as seen when he disapproved of how Nancy was being treated by her co-workers, and therefore also shares your feminist ideals. 

He would be the sweetest to you about your insecurities and tell you that it’s okay to be different no matter what and that you’re beautiful and enough just the way you are. 

He’s introverted, asocial and kind just like you, cares very deeply for family and knows what it’s like to have divorced parents. 

He’s very much into music just like you are and is not very fond of small talk nor fighting either, so I feel like you would have a really calm and stable relationship. 

 THE WITCHER

I ship you with Jaskier!

Jaskier is a little like George Weasley in the way that he always steals all the attention whenever he walks into a room. He’s got a very loud personality and for the same reasons I think you’d be good with George, I think you would be good with Jaskier!

Unlike you who prefer staying within your comfort one, Jaskier might care about that a bit too little. Let’s just say that he would never bother you about not being more adventurous, because he’d be far too busy stepping out of his comfort zone and getting into trouble, himself, to notice.

Jaskier is also a big fan of writing, reading and, of course, music, so I think you’d be able to have some really good times together.

 PEAKY BLINDERS

I ship you with Ada Shelby!

Being the only woman as well as the only really sensible member of a family full of gangsters for sure puts a person under the “black sheep”-category, so Ada knows all about feeling out of place. 

She’s the only member of the Shelby family who absolutely hates violence which is one of the main reasons I think you’d suit each other, seeing as you don’t like arguments. Just like you, she will square up if she absolutely has to in order to defend herself, but she’d much prefer not to. 

She’s very level-headed and tries her best to stay well clear of all the illegal activities that her family get up to, instead, putting her focus into activism and trying to improve equality for everyone, as well as trying to embrace the beautiful and sensuous things life has to offer.

She has a natural instinct to take care of those who can’t look after themselves, she’s kind-hearted and humane, accepting and understanding, so she would be very patient with getting to know you and let you take the time you needed. 

Out of all the Peaky Blinders characters, I can almost guarantee you that Ada is your best shot at getting a peaceful and unproblematic life. 

THE WALKING DEAD

I ship you with Daryl Dixon!

Daryl may be brave and good at surviving, but he is, at the same time, constantly facing challenges from his past as an abuse victim. Because of his trauma, he’s very socially awkward and doesn’t really know how to connect with other people, even though he does seem to have the desire to do so. For example, at the beginning of the apocalypse, he often spoke to people without making eye contact and cringed away from physical touch, with little to no social skills, and even though he has definitely gotten better at it, the struggle is still there to some extent.

His childhood trauma is also the reason for his insecurities, of which the biggest one is his scars. He’s ashamed of them and every day he’s reminded of the fact that he, through all his life, has been nothing and no one. He often shows signs that he considers himself to be worthless as well as depressed, and shows clear discomfort and distrust for people he’s not all that familiar with. 

Because of the discomfort of being around people, he prefers to keep his distance from groups, because he functions best when he’s either alone or in the company of just one or two people; preferably the former. So naturally, he’s very quiet, not at all fond of small talk. Even with people he’s comfortable being around, he’d rather sit in a comfortable, mutual silence than speak. 

You have all these things in common; finding it hard trusting and opening up to people, being over-thinkers, disliking small talk, constantly fighting inner battles with yourselves and struggling to accept yourselves, disliking asking people for help, as well as having big social anxieties in general.

But what you also have in common is that you’re very protective of family. Daryl may prefer to keep to himself, but he doesn’t hesitate to risk his life in order to save the members of his group. He’s incredibly selfless and loyal to a fault and would stop at nothing to protect his people as well as help people who can’t protect themselves. 

As a result of his abuse, he also an extreme attentiveness to others. He’s so hypervigilant that not only is he always prepared for zombies, but he can also attentive to the emotions of people. So even though he might struggle with communicating sympathy verbally and through touch, he will go to great lengths to use his special skills to help those in pain, this meaning - you wouldn’t have to communicate your feelings through words every time since he’d most likely pick up on your body language, which can be a really big relief when you’re self-conscious about stumbling over words when nervous and struggle with social anxiety. 

He would just be very understanding of your social issues in general and as he absolutely hates when people try to pry into his life before the apocalypse, he would never put any pressure, whatsoever, on you to open up to him in anything other than your own time. If anyone knows what it’s like to feel out of place, it’s him. 

SUICIDE SQUAD

I ship you with Rick Flag!

It’s no secret that Rick is very serious and short-tempered when in combat and on the job. His personality is usually described as sturdy, stoic and serious and he’s been trained to serve and follow orders without questions. He takes his responsibilities very seriously and gets frustrated when others don’t pay him the same respect.

But away from his job, Rick also has a softer, more vulnerable side and is capable of warming up even to enemies through his ability to see things from different perspectives, as seen when he happily hugs Floyd after defeating Enchantress. He’s deeply protective of those he loves and would go to unthinkable lengths to protect them. 

He isn’t a person who willingly goes out of his comfort zone either; on the contrary, it’s usually something he’s pressured to do by other people who, often, have some kind of leverage on him. 

So had he only been presented with the choice, I think he’d really be into the idea of a simple life with no drama, no danger. Just him, his significant other, living together and going about their ways either separately or together, before having dinner and falling asleep together in front of a good movie or tv show. He’d be more than happy living a life as simple as that. 

Underneath that whole military attitude, he also has a sense of humor hidden away; the goofy and playful one, just like yours. And I think that you would be really good together in that sense. 

GAME OF THRONES

I ship you with Jon Snow!

Jon is known to be humble, calm and withdrawn and would, at least after the events of the last season, much rather live a calm, simple life than one full of adventure and challenged limits since he’s so clearly shown to be burdened by the constant danger and responsibility. 

All his life, Jon has lived as an outcast; a bastard, and the black sheep in a family of wolves. Because of Catelyn’s consistent hatred and torment, he never felt anything other than hatred, self-doubt and shame toward himself and has never felt like he belongs anywhere, with anyone. 

He was forced to quietly wrestle with dejection and loneliness his entire life; always among them, but never really one of them, and because he never quite fit in, he was naturally more susceptible to anti-social behavior, as shown in the way that he always tends to mind his own business, prefers to stay within his comfort zone and also in the way that he isn’t big on small talk.

He was so ashamed of himself and who he was that he pledged himself to the Night’s Watch in order to escape the label of a bastard, so he knows better than anyone what it’s like to try and accept oneself. 

To finish it off, he’s the ultimate feminist, who takes powerful women for what they are and understands the importance of lifting them up. He encouraged Arya and her proclivity for archery and combat and he admitted to his misjudgments and faults without being derisive or sexist when Sansa outsmarted him and saved his ass in the Battle of the Bastards so he doesn’t consider it to be emasculating to be equal, or even inferior, to a woman, and doesn’t pick and choose what kind of woman to support. He supports all of them and their individual strengths, whether it be physical power in combat, or mental power in politics. 

FAST AND FURIOUS

I ship you with Leon!

Little is known about Leon since he was only in the first movie with minimal screentime, but I have, over the years, built my own opinion of him through his way of behaving in the moments we actually got to see him.

My first thought on him was that he’s a bit of the lost loner type and that he’s much more rational and level-headed than the others.

He voices his disapproval to Dom on several occasions and got shut down every time, which showed that he didn’t really trust him to keep them safe and out of handcuffs, and that he wasn’t comfortable with how far they were taking things. 

This, to me, equals that he’s not a person who is very fond of stepping out of his comfort zone and would much rather play it safe and stick to the things he knows.

I wouldn’t go so far as to call him a coward, but he’s definitely more cautious than the rest of the squad. Rather than getting high off the thrill, he just seems like he’s along for the ride, without actually needing the excitement like the others do. Plain and simple: he’s a tag-along:er, not an adrenaline junkie.

In the scenes he’s in, he was always the one to, in one way or another, look out for the well-being of the others, and I can imagine, since he and Jesse met before the two joined the squad, that he looked after Jesse for a long while, as well.

Jesse had pretty severe ADD as well as slightly faulty instincts and understandings in some social settings both because of his ADD and because he was raised by his criminal dad to know no better, so looking out for him would probably take a little bit of work since I’d guess that he got himself into trouble a lot. 

Because of this, I’ve kind of put him in the “caretaker”-category, since he seems to be so much more genuine and caring than the rest, and that, in turn, is why I think he’d be a good match for you. 

I also think that you’d be good together because of the fact Jesse shares a lot of qualities with you; a bit reserved, stuttering when nervous, and being generally anxious around strangers. Since Leon has experience with this, he wouldn’t judge you but rather know how to handle it, support you and make you feel more comfortable. 

His mother left him when he was still young and he has clearly been struggling to find a place where he belongs. He thought that he found it with Dom’s crew, but when Jesse died and Vince and Letty got seriously hurt, he obviously had enough, decided that the heat had become too risky and that he didn’t want anything more to do with the illegal activities. 

Once again, after Jesse’s passing, he was left alone, and I’m one hundred percent sure that he left the crew to go live a safer, calmer life because, like Rick Flag, he just seems like the type to want a quiet life with a like-minded significant other, maybe some animals and/or a kid or two. Basically just a “perfect, happy family”-situation with no risk-taking, just staying safe within your comfort zones.

It seems like it must require some level of cognitive dissonance to process the fact that a man who has been so public about his feminism has also been privately abusing women, yet Louis C.K.’s story is sadly not uncommon. Sexual predators often purposely cultivate an overtly feminist public persona and go out of their way to befriend prominent progressive women. This strategy benefits them on multiple levels: they get to enjoy a special status as one of the good guys fighting the good fight, they will have access to vulnerable women who think they are a safe person, and finally they will have a large group of women willing to vouch for them if allegations ever do surface.

The past few years have provided us with numerous high profile examples of this predatory pattern. In almost every case there had long been rumours circulating about the men involved, but their wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing “feminism” helped shield them from consequences for years. There have been stories circulating the media about Louis C.K. since at least 2012, when Gawker published a blind item about him, with more details about his sexual abuse described in multiple publications following that.

We’ve seen this before. Countless times, in fact. Up until his fall from grace in 2013, writer/internet personality/serial abuser Hugo Schwyzer did his best to harass women who saw through his nice guy act (women who were, as Mikki Kendall notes in The Guardian, primarily women of colour). Meanwhile, his white colleagues either outright defended him or implicitly supported him through their silence.

There had been a decade or more of whispers about Jian Ghomeshi before the Toronto Star published a story in 2014 about allegations of violence made against him; his abusive treatment of women was so commonly known that even men later admitted they had heard that he was a “creep.” In spite of this, when Carla Ciccone had tried to sound the alarm about Ghomeshi’s behaviour in 2013 for xoJane, she found herself castigated by national media outlets and accused of “just wanting attention.”

Earlier this year, Joss Whedon’s ex-wife Kai Cole wrote an open letter saying that he used his politically progressive reputation “as a shield… so no one would question his relationships with other women or scrutinize his writing as anything other than feminist.”

These are just the better-known, more public examples of this type of predation. Every feminist woman I know has a story–often multiple stories–about something similar that happened to them. Nona Willis Aronowitz calls the men who engage in this specific brand of abuse “woke misogynists;” these men, who seem to grow more common by the day, learn to spout feminist rhetoric not because they particularly care about women’s rights but because they can use it to manipulate and violate women.

What do we do when predatory men co-opt our language and use our own movement to inflict violence on us? There aren’t any hard and fast answers to that question, but a few suggestions do spring to mind:

Look at what men do instead of listening to what they say.

Stop making feminist heroes out of men.

Believe women.

Believe women.

Always believe women.

How To Make A Guy Fall In Love With You Over Text Messages-17 Texting Secrets

How to make a guy fall in love with you over text messages-17 texting secrets

In this short article you will find out:

How to make a guy obsessed with you over text. Proven pre-written texts for you to copy and send out with fantastic results. How to quickly flirt over text with a guy (flirty and seductive texts awaiting you below in this short article). How to text a guy to keep him interested and prevent him ghosting you. People’ perspective on texting and the powerful K.I.S.S. method.

How to make a guy want you over text-how to make a guy laugh really hard over text An overall of 17 secrets on texting people on social media. Most women do not understand how or what to text a man to keep him interested

If you like a person and you just have the chance to contact him through text, then so be it.

Of course, always strive for meeting him in person. That’s far more important than the messages you exchange.

When that takes place, don’t forget to first check out this article with 21 great things to talk about on a date.

However if, for whatever factor, you can just interact with each other over text, then continue reading.

In this article, I’ll give you my 17 best flirting suggestions and the secrets to texting and seducing guys. It applies to (Facebook, Tinder, Whatsapp, Snapchat and all other comparable platforms.).

Which platform you utilize doesn’t matter that much. Everything comes down to more or less the same thing and how to make him desire you through text. How To Make A Guy Fall In Love With You Over Text Messages,17 Texting Secrets, here they are;

1. Never text longer than required

Never ever chat longer than needed. Take a look at the whole SMS, Facebook, Whatsapp, Snapchat texting thing as a method to fulfill him personally.

Don’t invest months exchanging messages with someone without seeing him in reality.

And when you meet him, make sure you first have a look at the sneaky, little known text message to make him love you.

What you truly wish to do is give him opportunities to ask you out from the start.

You do this by giving him hints.

What you can text to a person is:

” I’ve always wished to go to that museum.” ” I heard that bar was truly cool.” Simply offer him enough small chances to say:

” How about we go there together?” Einstein If he does not understand these tips, do not panic.

If it takes too long, you can constantly state something like:

” I in fact believe it’s a little impersonal to get to know each other over text. How about we just meet up.”

It wouldn’t hurt to come up with such a tip yourself.

A minimum of try to prevent exchanging messages with each other for months on end.

2. Make an ‘inside joke’

Make an ‘inside joke’. This is one of the best flirting ideas you can apply when texting a person. A joke like that ensures that your text feel much more real.

Envision, for instance, that you went on a date to the petting zoo and while you were there he created a joke about the goats.

” Look at those goats! They have them in all sheeps and sizes!”

Naturally, you being a smart lady, you do not have such a sheep funny bone.

But let’s simply presume you do find it amusing and have not deserted sheep when you heard that amusing wordplay.

Make an ‘inside joke’ So, expect you’ve been through a situation like that. A minute where you both laughed a lot.

Then it’s an outstanding concept to refer to that in your text messages.

( You can tease him for “being the black sheep of the household” or “a wolf in sheep’s clothes”).

It’s a joke that just the two of you’ll comprehend;.

This is what we call an ‘inside joke.’.

The stunning aspect of this is that you produce a kind of us-against-the-world-feeling with this.

So he instantly feels more linked to you when you bring it up again over text (only now in a various context).

3. Be a bit difficult

Be challenging. Guy live for the hunt. We’re actually searching for the obstacle of searching.

When there’s no effort included, it is not intriguing to get it. And let’s be honest. You probably are also not as interested in guys that are too available and have no requirements. You most likely choose a man that is somewhat of a challenge to get. The very same chooses guys.

If something is too simple, it’s just not that interesting.

If you make it too simple for him, he’ll stop chasing you. That is to state, he loses interest and gets bored with you.

But, obviously, we will not let it get that far since you can easily prevent this by not making it so simple for him.

How do you accomplish this?

Challenge and test him in your messages. Do not cancel your plans for his when he asks you out and you’re currently hectic. Don’t reply to all his messages within 5 seconds; more on this in idea # 11. Don’t text him the first thing you do when you get up. Learn more about him before you go on a date with him. By making him talk a minimum of a bit about himself, he’ll have to invest more effort and time in you. These are some proven methods of how to make him desire you over text.

4. Show an interest in him

It’s a lot easier to get a guy thinking about you if you first take an interest in him … than it is if you first try to convince him how great you are.

It’s much like Dale Carnegie when said:

” The royal road to a guy’s heart is to talk with him about the things he treasures most.”

— Dale Carnegie

Ask questions (about him) and integrate this with declarations, I’ll offer you some examples of that in a 2nd.

And don’t send him this text every early morning:

” Hey, did you sleep well?”

You want to prevent these type of questions as much as possible.

Rather, ask him fun things. Concerns that really help to learn more about him on a much deeper level.

Here are a few examples you can utilize for motivation:

What would you like to do more this year?

What habit of yours are you most proud of? 

Is there something you ‘d like everyone to learn about you?

With these kinds of concerns, you show any interest in him and make the conversation more enjoyable.

And if you wish to do it absolutely right, then you must mix up the concerns with declarations.

How to efficiently flirt with a guy over text is to make it enjoyable, challenging, and playful.

Here are some terrific statements on how to flirt with a guy over text

You look like the type of man whom my father would hate; You do not appear like somebody other men would follow into battle; Something informs me you don’t know how to save an innocent princess from a burning structure

These texts play right into his masculinity.

And by doing it this way, you are preventing the discussion from becoming like a boring interview.

5. Prevent the extreme use of smileys

I just recently met a lady I liked a lot. And since I didn’t wish to leave it at that, I decided to befriend her on Facebook.

And we began talking on Messenger.

Something occurred that really turned me off.

Her messages were full of odd abbreviations and smileys.

And I’m not the only one who’s switched off by this. There are a lot of males who think these things are too childish.

It would be an embarrassment for you to miss out on an excellent man because of something like this that you can easily avoid.

It’s fun when you’ve found the button on how to send him the craziest smileys. But please don’t utilize it.

More men are shut off by this than there are guys who think:

Oh. Wow. She uses a great deal of smileys; she’s adorable.

Leave it at that.

6. Prevent boring topics and topics that are emotionally heavy

Chatting is supposed to be fun. You want to avoid subjects that are too severe, and avoid heavy emotional conversations at all times.

Some topics to avoid at all expenses are:

politics religion your ex-boyfriend When you learn more about a man, it’s not a good concept to talk with him about these examples anyhow.

You want to stay away from it even more over text.

Since it only produces misconceptions.

You simply can’t read someone’s face and understand what they suggest over text.

You might believe that he’s most likely ironical again when he isn’t. And vice versa.

In order to avoid such misunderstandings, it’s much better to go over these matters in real life. And only when it’s important to discuss it.

7. “Never have I ever …”

Now, before you think:

Hey, this looks suspiciously like a drinking game I used to play. It’s precisely the exact same game but through text (and without alcohol).

It’s a fantastic game to play when you’re texting with a guy. And one of the great flirty texts you can send for him is,

” I’ve never ever swum naked before.”

If he responds that he has, you can ask him another question.

… But if he responds that he’s never done that in the past, it’s his turn.

This way of texting is more amazing, and you’ll discover the craziest stories about each other too. If you want to flirt with him through Whatsapp (or whatever platform you are using), then this is an excellent method.

8. Ask him for suggestions

Ask him for advice. I’m all for ladies’ rights, however there is one small thing that I discover a bit unfortunate about the entire feminist movement.

Which is some of the concepts they’re spreading around the world.

For instance, some females seem like they don’t need a male.

Well, that’s true to some extent.

But let me inform you something …

A buddy of mine just recently met a girl that was a 25-year-old kiss-virgin who entered into the Me Too movement in her teenage years.

That stunning woman had not even kissed a person in her 25 years because of how she got affected. And she was stunning …

One thing she felt now was that she had actually been losing out in life and wondered what she was believing …

Let’s face it …

Men require women, and women require guys Male require females, and females need guys The most unpleasant feature of this belief is that some women now want to do EVERYTHING by themselves.

A couple of examples:

He offers her recommendations; she ignores it. He wishes to pay the bill; she uses to share it. He wishes to assist her bring a heavy shopping bag; she declines his aid and does the heavy lifting herself. … And so on.

The issue here is that if you constantly decline to do these things (asking him for guidance, letting him help you or pay the bill etc.), then he can not feel liked because …

A male wants to fix things for you And if you decline his aid, you’re in fact declining his love.

It’s like informing him for the very first time that you enjoy him, and he reacts, “I don’t care.”

I can imagine you would not like this.

He does not like it when you never ever let him assist you.

That is why it is important to let him understand from time to time that you require him (despite the fact that is not actually the case).

Ask him for guidance over text now and then and provide him the feeling he’s required.

If you do this, he’ll instantly like you a lot more.

9. Compliment him

It’s simple to have a male fall for you when you stroke his ego.

This is something that works for EVERY guy.

One uncomplicated method to touch his ego is to compliment him.

That simple?

Yeah, it’s that basic. It’s one of the most reliable methods to make a person fall for you (over text).

The reason compliments work so well is since guys typically seldom receive any Expect you offer him some, then he’ll immediately feel good about himself.

Guess what person he’ll link that good feeling too?

You.

Compliments are simply an uncomplicated way to hit on a man, both in reality and over text.

So send him a compliment from time to time. If he has a new photo on Whatsapp, Facebook, or Instagram.

It’s a small effort that makes a big distinction.

10. Make yourself STOP

There are times when it’s never ever wise to send out a message to a man you are interested in.

What are those moments?

First off, I’m pleased you asked.

I don’t know if you periodically drink alcohol.

But I do understand it’s a horrible idea to send out messages when you’re under the influence.

So that’s something you want to prevent.

That’s it? Nope.

Likewise, when you’re (really) emotional, it’s not a good time to exchange messages.

On these moments it’s better to make yourself STOP.

By the way, as I mentioned before, it’s never a good idea to talk about heavy and too serious conversations over the phone.

Simply don’t send messages if you’re under the influence (of alcohol or strong feelings), that will conserve you from sending out messages you will later regret.

11. Do not react to his every text within 5 seconds

We mentioned in pointer # 3 that males want to hunt.

(even if we say we do not) we desire to make an effort for you.

And it’s idiotic due to the fact that if we can’t bother “getting” you, we don’t value you.

And if we don’t value you, we’ll lose interest rapidly.

Again, this is something exceptionally stupid.

However still extremely crucial.

And on the other hand, how would you like it if a person on the very first date stated to you:

” OK, I want to marry you, and I wish to have 3 kids”

You ‘d probably escape shouting, would not you? Thought so.

Well, that’s what it feels like for a person when you have no value in his eyes.

What does this relate to text messages?

Well, look. If you reply within 5 seconds each time he sends you a message, then you’ll come across as really simple, and you’ll lose your worth.

Address his messages when you have the time. Don’t focus on responding to him over your own agenda.

12. K.I.S.S.

No, by that I do not imply the legendary rock band KISS.

I was describing the English acronym K.I.S.S

To put it simply, “Keep It Short and Simple.”

It’s something you wish to apply to your messages. No matter what platform you are utilizing.

Because of men’ point of view on texting, constantly attempt to keep it brief and simple The factor for this is that men see interaction as a way of exchanging information.

This is people’ point of view on texting:

When two people are talking to each other, you’ll see that they’re constantly exchanging truths with each other. This form of interaction is based on the truth that whatever need to be short and accurate.

If it’s not clear what you’re trying to express to him over text, then he will right away end up being baffled. Through chat, this confusion takes place even faster than normal.

Simply put, K.I.S.S.

13. Send out exciting messages

If you have not slept with each other, skip this one.

If you have been intimate, it’s enjoyable to send him an amazing message once in a while.

Simply put, sexting (sex + texting).

With sexting, you make him think about you sexually sexting. Recent study even shows that sexting contributes to a good relationship.

I’ll give you an example and how to seductively flirt over text with a guy below.

” Hey, I was thinking of you in the shower today.”

The enjoyable aspect of this particular message is that it’s up to him how he analyzes it. It’s a very innocent method to flirt with him sexually.

14. Prevent daily updates

Prevent day-to-day updates. You’ve heard me state it previously, but for guys, communication is a way of exchanging info.

When 2 males are talking, they are continuously exchanging realities with each other.

And even when a man talks to a woman, he’ll believe:

” She’s telling me about her day at the office, so I’ll inform her about my day at the workplace.”

Because guys are exceptionally easy beings, 2 issues typically arise when we talk with a woman … If you tell us a whole story, you’re providing us a lot of truths. If you tell us a story without any “meaning,” we do not understand a thing. The very first issue women typically realize on their own, but the second one is still quite new for the majority of women.

For instance, if you send him a message like:

I just had spaghetti. I’m SO full today.

Or:

My colleague called in ill today, so now I have to work twice as tough.

He’s like:

Well, what am I expected to do with this?

He does not see any truth that he can do anything with, so it’s better not to send this kind of message to him at all.

Because he doesn’t understand how to react to this, he is most likely to respond rudely, or not at all. Which will make you feel even worse.

Avoid this by preventing sending this kind of messages. If you want to hit on a person through text, follow this concept

15. Less is more

OK, communication is crucial in every kind of a relationship.

Some females are guilty of sending too many messages to a male.

( If this applies to you, you’ve been caught red-handed.).

Well, it’s also real that it very much depends on what kind of messages you send. “I’m anticipating tonight” is better than “What are you doing right now?”.

But still …

It’s never ever a great concept to send a guy a lot of messages, unless you have been dating for a very long time.

Even if he likes it initially, he might very well wake up one day and believe:.

I think it’s all going a little too quickly.

Thoughts like this can all of a sudden get in a man’s mind. He may begin believing that you’re not the right for him. He might think that he has commitment phobia.

So relax, specifically in the beginning.

This prevents him from being turned off by you, and it likewise saves you time. A great deal.

16. Don’t be negative

I can comprehend that you do not always feel fantastic.

( … Everyone sometimes has days when things are not working out).

However let’s be honest. When you start dating, you want to show your finest side.

Even if you have a bad day, it’s a great idea to send him a good message.

Or if you feel dreadful, don’t send him anything at all until things are much better.

In the beginning, you want to neglect problems If something tragic has taken place (such as the death of a family member), then you can bring this up.

You do not desire to trouble him with issues you are having at work or similar situations. Specifically not over the phone or text.

He’s simply not going to react well to this.

Later on, when you’re in a relationship, you’ll have lots of time to speak about these things (in person). For now, keep it fun over text and when you meet up.

17. Flirt the same way you do over text as you do in real life

You probably already have some flirting experience that has actually worked well for you in the past.

Whatever that operates in real life, likewise works when you’re texting with a guy.

The method you communicate may alter, but the principles stay the very same.

Did you notice that this post about texting, has a great deal of resemblances with my other posts about flirting and making a guy fall in love?

You didn’t observe? Really? Well, now you understand.

For that reason, besides the recommendations I gave you in this post, you can also apply the important things you already knew about males.

Text him in the very same ways that have already worked for you in genuine life.

Now you understand How To Make A Guy Fall In Love With You Over Text Messages-17 Texting Secrets!

why do these people never realise that people they call 'SJWs' (which is not a cohesive group, as it's a term often applied to people for the most ridiculous and minor of reasons, usually because they're a minority pointing out that something is bigoted) never criticise any of the theories and views of other 'SJWs' out there? although i think we both know the answer; because they simply don't want to, and are just pissed that not everything in the world is catering to straight white men anymore.

My big thing is like, the heavy use of ‘hivemind’ rhetoric. I really avoid talking about ‘feminists’ or ‘liberals’ or whathaveyou too much unless I’m making a specific point because those groups are nebulous and only describe a specific aspect of a person’s thinking, never an entire profile.But you see these ‘anti-SJ’ people constantly taking this honestly very lazy, trollish and crude-minded position where they just go ‘haha SJs are at it again’. SJs this, SJs that. Most of the time the person they’re reblogging from isn’t even an SJW. Due to obvious reasons and schisms, very few people even bother identifying that way any more! But these backwards hasbeens are STILL identifying as Anti-SJ and then have the nerve to say ‘we’re not against social justice’(it’s just that I love arguing with the victims of social injustice all fucking day and never helping anyone).It’s very lazy and personally I find it cowardly because if you want to be a bigot, be a bigot. Stand for something.But to do this whole wolf-in-sheeps-clothing deal where you say you’re somehow for justice ....Again, you go to these people’s blogs and there are NO support posts, NO resource posts, hardly any articles about things happening to people suffering from injustice right now (because that’d ruin their arguments that nothing is happening and people are complaining for no reason mostly), nothing positive, nothing actually about issues. Games, maybe. And shitposts. Any ‘SJ’ content on their blog was written by someone else, spat on by their mutuals, just in time for them to add on a tepid insult and hit reblog. They never help a single soul. They just laugh at victims. But when you press them they say ‘oh no we want equality, too!’ No, you want the status quo unshaken.It is against my nature to hate people, but seeing how this herd mentality so easily transforms them into cavemen with keyboards is disheartening. Again, I don’t care that they disagree. I care that they think they’re helping, while simply peddling apathy as if it is in low supply.

If you are not a fan of the critically acclaimed NBC sitcom The Good Place (which you should be! Why aren’t you watching it??), then you may not be familiar with Jameela Jamil.

Jamil plays Tahani al-Jamil, an image-obsessed socialite who lives in her accomplished older sister’s shadow. Recently, however, the actress has also become known as a vocal feminist and body positivity advocate. In the last month alone, Jamil has come after everyone from Cardi B to Iggy Azalea to Khloe Kardashian for advertising “detox teas,” or beverages that are purported to help you lose weight, on Instagram.

For the most part, the media has embraced the portrayal of Jamil as an outspoken advocate for feminist empowerment, a 2018 version of a 2014-era Jennifer Lawrence or a 2016-era Chrissy Teigen. “In an industry that reproduces so many limiting ideas of how women should look, speak, dress and think, it is so refreshing to see an actress speak her mind,” Paper magazine wrote in a profile of Jamil.

Recently, however, that narrative has gotten more complicated. This week, Jamil generated backlash for a BBC op-ed she wrote, along with a series of tweets, which called for Photoshop and airbrushing to be made illegal.

Jamil’s tweets started out innocently enough, pointing out how often magazines airbrush photos of female celebrities in their 40s and 50s while leaving male celebrities untouched. (Jamil has famously refused to let any publications Photoshop images of her.)

An example of Photoshop being weaponised against women: This is how we portray men in their 50s on magazine covers and women in their 50s. Look at the difference. Men who age are sexy in HD. Women mostly just shouldn’t dare age. Men can celebrate the inevitable, we must fear it. pic.twitter.com/XKykaZuiYf

One of her anti-Photoshop tweets, however, featured a photo of a glowing Jamil wearing what appears to be makeup, while simultaneously enjoining women to “say no to airbrushing” — a message that many interpreted as a statement that self-love is liberating, provided you’re super hot. Others accused Jamil of exhibiting Tahani-esque levels of privilege and lack of self-awareness. (Jamil has since deleted the tweet.)

Jameela Jamil’s “airbrushing should be illegal” essay reminds me so much of Alicia Keys’s “women should be makeup free” campaign. It’s like they forget they inhabit the very bodies upheld as ideal. pic.twitter.com/zBHdP2YXIL

Some even questioned Jamil’s motives for making body positivity such an integral part of her platform. The response may signal an impending backlash — not just against Jamil, but against celebrities who have used body positivity and female empowerment as a self-branding tactic.

Although she’s been famous in the UK for years, Jamil has become well-known in the US media fairly recently. A former British “it girl,” she first became famous as a presenter (that’s British for “TV host”) for the TV program T4, as well as the breakfast show (that’s British for “a show that airs in the morning”) Freshly Squeezed. Three years ago, she moved to Los Angeles, reportedly with no intention of starting an acting career, and landed the lead role of Tahani on her very first audition.

Jamil has spoken publicly about body positivity throughout her career. She’s been open about her own personal struggles with body image, such as an eating disorder she grappled with in her teens and her experience being body-shamed by the British press after gaining weight from using steroids for asthma. She has said that her difficulty finding clothes in her size during that time prompted her to launch a size-inclusive collection in 2016 with the UK brand Simply Be, which included sizes 10 to 32 (or US sizes 6 to size 30).

In a 2015 interview, Jamil said she wanted to provide more options for larger women, while simultaneously refusing to call them “plus-size”: “The concept of plus-size is so derogatory and weird. What does that mean? Plus the normal size? It shouldn’t exist anymore,” she told Femail at the time.

In March of this year, Jamil launched the Instagram account I Weigh. In the caption on the inaugural post, Jamil wrote that she was “fucking tired of seeing women just ignore what’s amazing about them and their lives and their achievements, just because they don’t have a bloody thigh gap.” The account now has more than 249,000 followers and features more than 2,000 user-submitted posts from women.

Since then, Jamil has publicly weighed in on a number of issues related to body positivity and cultural beauty standards. Last June, she announced her no-Photoshop policy; in October, she reiterated this stance, sharing unretouched photos from a Marilyn Monroe-inspired photo shoot in which stretch marks on her breasts were visible. Like Teigen and Padma Lakshmi before her, who have also shared photos of their stretch marks, Jamil posted the images along with a message of self-acceptance.

Since she started building her US brand, Jamil has taken aim at celebrities and social media influencers for promoting what she says she views as toxic, body-shaming narratives.

Arguably her highest-profile target has been the Kardashians, most notably Kim Kardashian, who promoted appetite-suppressing lollipops by the Instagram weight-loss company Flat Tummy Co. “No. Fuck off. No. You terrible and toxic influence on young girls,” Jamil wrote on Twitter back in May. (Kardashian did not issue a public response.)

In an August interview with podcast host Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Jamil slammed the Kardashians again, referring to them as “double agents” for the “patriarchy.” “It’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing: Just because you look like a woman, we trust you and we think you’re on our side, but you are selling us something that really doesn’t make us feel good …. You’re selling us self-consciousness,” she told Guru-Murthy.

While some criticized Jamil for taking issue with the Kardashians rather than the patriarchy itself, Jamil attempted to clarify her comments on Twitter, specifying that she wasn’t criticizing the Kardashians specifically, but the beauty-obsessed culture they were endorsing.

No. Fuck off. No. You terrible and toxic influence on young girls. I admire their mother’s branding capabilities, she is an exploitative but innovative genius, however this family makes me feel actual despair over what women are reduced to. pic.twitter.com/zDPN1T8sBM

MAYBE don’t take appetite suppressors and eat enough to fuel your BRAIN and work hard and be successful. And to play with your kids. And to have fun with your friends. And to have something to say about your life at the end, other than “I had a flat stomach.” pic.twitter.com/XsBM3aFtAQ

— Jameela Jamil (@jameelajamil) May 16, 2018

Last month, Jamil publicly lambasted Cardi B, whose latest Instagram post had endorsed another detox tea; she also criticized Iggy Azalea, Amber Rose, and Khloe Kardashian for promoting similar weight loss products. “GOD I hope all these celebrities all shit their pants in public, the way the poor women who buy this nonsense upon their recommendation do,” she wrote.

(As Vox previously reported, many of these teas have a laxative effect; taking laxatives can lead to cramping, indigestion, and dehydration, which makes them an unsafe and unhealthy means of losing weight).

They got Cardi B on the laxative nonsense “detox” tea. GOD I hope all these celebrities all shit their pants in public, the way the poor women who buy this nonsense upon their recommendation do. Not that they actually take this shit. They just flog it because they need MORE MONEY pic.twitter.com/OhmTjjWVOp

— Jameela Jamil (@jameelajamil) November 24, 2018

Cardi B, for her part, told Jamil, “I will never shit my pants because there’s public bathrooms….and ooh, bushes.” Emboldened by Cardi’s response, Jamil leaned into the joke further, posting a video of herself pretending to chug a detox tea, then rushing to the bathroom.

In the past, Jamil (who in her Twitter bio refers to herself as a “feminist-in-progress”) has been accused of harboring some anti-feminist views, specifically when it comes to women she appears to deem overly sexually provocative.

In the past, she’s called out Miley Cyrus for her “overt use of her sexuality and her vagina to gain a platform”; in a column for the UK website Company, she also criticized Rihanna for posing pantsless on Instagram, imploring her to “put away her minge” (British for female genitalia).

In a blog post, Jamil also accused Beyoncé of “behaving like a (Bloody amazingly beautiful) stripper” with her “buttocks spread apart by a pole…air-humping a piano” in the music video for “Flawless.” Following backlash, Jamil deleted the post — but an archived version is still viewable. Jamil was also accused of erasing the work of black women like body positive activist Stephanie Yeboah, who claims that Jamil once quoted her in an interview without attribution.

“She loves low-hanging fruit, especially when it comes to women who make a living by being sexual in any form”

In an October 2018 op-ed for Pajiba, writer Kayleigh Donaldson took aim at what she referred to as Jamil’s “diluted version of body positivity,” one that does not necessarily include all women of all different sizes: “She loves low-hanging fruit, especially when it comes to women who make a living by being sexual in any form,” Donaldson wrote, noting Jamil’s previous criticism of Beyonce, Cyrus, and Rihanna.

Donaldson also questioned whether Jamil, as a conventionally attractive, straight-size woman, is necessarily the best representative of the body positivity community. “It would be silly of us to pretend Jamil didn’t get where she is today if she weren’t astoundingly beautiful and the ‘right’ size for American TV,” Donaldson writes.

Jamil herself seems at least somewhat aware of her own shortcomings as a representative for the body positivity movement. In an interview with Marie Claire, Jamil bemoaned the fact that body positivity has “become a marketing slogan, and that’s not what it was originally for. It was supposed to be inclusive, and again now, it’s been taken over by very slender, often Caucasian women.”

Indeed, one of the most common critiques of the body positivity movement is that its primary representatives have very little in common with the vast majority of women. “For instance, a conventionally attractive Instagram model clapping back at her haters, or a literal supermodel who feels the need to publicly answer her anonymous, powerless social media critics. Or that supermodel’s cousin who is a hero to women everywhere for displaying one single fat roll,” as Amanda Mull wrote in a Vox piece.

To be fair, the body positivity movement has gotten (slightly) more diverse over the past few years, with women of color and LGBTQ women slowly becoming more visible. And as a woman of Indian and Pakistani descent, Jamil contributes a welcome perspective to a movement that, as she pointed out in Marie Claire, is still pretty damn white.

Still, it’s easy to see why a woman who doesn’t look like Jamil (or Teigen or Emily Ratajkowski, a literal bikini model) would be skeptical of their messages of self-empowerment and body positivity. If you look great without makeup, then it’s easy to say that airbrushing and filters and Photoshop should be illegal; and if the rest of your culture loves your body, then it’s easy to love your body, too.

In addition to building a brand as a body positivity advocate, Jamil has also garnered fans for her goofy, eminently relatable persona. She frequently refers to bodily functions in interviews and has referred to herself as a “potty mouth” and a “constantly inappropriate person,” filling something of the Cool Girl vacuum left by Jennifer Lawrence, who rose to A-list status in large part by talking openly about butt plugs and dropping F-bombs at awards shows.

(In a somewhat similar vein, Jamil also frequently insists to journalists that she was awkward and unattractive as an adolescent, a time-honored narrative of ugly-ducking-turned-swan right out of the Victoria’s Secret model playbook.)

It remains to be seen whether this strategy will backfire for Jamil, as it ultimately did on some level for Lawrence, who was subject to much debate over whether her frat bro persona was little more than schtick. If the backlash against Jamil’s anti-Photoshop tweets is any indication, it certainly seems like a possibility.

However well-intentioned celebrities may be, the privileges afforded by beauty and wealth and status are simply too great to allow most of them to retain a cool and relatable image for very long.

But for now, it appears that Jamil’s lean into Cool Girl feminism is still working: The media has lauded Jamil for her tweets and her “refreshing” take on celebrity and body image. More than one effusive reporter has gushed that they wish they could be Jamil’s best friend. So for now, that’s the pop cultural role she primarily occupies in the public consciousness — even if she arguably has more in common with the Kardashians themselves than she does with the women who retweet her takedowns.
