Dre: Do you think I need to see Viola Davis snot-cry every episode of "How To Get Away With Murder"? I don't, but the kids do, to see that they can be whatever it is they want to be.

Rainbow: Right.

Dre: Except now, Jack wants to be an actor.

Jack: You're innocent! I know it!

Being Christian-ish

I’ve never watched the show, but I understand “Black-ish” has to do with children who are not fully one race or another and they have cultural issues about their identity. The name of that show made me wonder if we may be “Christian-ish” — not fully all in as Christians and so we have issues about our identity.  Some days we are ALL IN as devoted followers of Christ and other days we are weak,…

Round 1 of 8, Group 2 of 8

propaganda and summaries are under the cut (May include spoilers)

Black-ish: 2.16 Hope

The Johnson family discusses race issues while watching news coverage of a grand jury considering the indictment of a White police officer accused of killing an African American teen.

How I Met Your Mother: 5.08 The Playbook

cw misogyny, offensive racial stereotypes, and dubious consent situations, if not outright implied sexual assault

When Barney hooks up with a woman Lily had been saving for Ted, she gets revenge by stealing his "playbook," which contains all the moves he uses to pick up women. But will Barney have the last laugh?

barney stinson arguably defined masculinity and meme culture of the late 2000s/early 2010s and this episode arguably defined barney stinson. like him or hate him, this episode is absolutely the most Television of its era.

Do you like black ish

Ya know I did like Black-ish

@mikeymurdock​ It’s like the college essay scene from Black-ish

oh and don't even get me STARTED on the scene w the guidance counselor trying to help miles be more palatable to ivy league schools

here they are, miles and his parents having this argument and after maybe twenty seconds she immediately throws out the "son of an immigrant from a struggling family" template

and both miles mom and dad oppose to it because. its really not true. and thats not who miles is. this guidance counselor says she wants to "know" miles but she doesn't. she just wants to know what elements of miles background will pander to universities.

I loved that it called out that specific toxic pattern inherent to those institutions AND I loved that it tied into the underlying theme in the movie about how tragedy doesn't define you

tragedy is not who you are. ur circumstances do not define you. you define you. simple as that.

Need some help with a thing for one of my TV WIPs (though it feels weird to call non-fanfic actual scripts I want to pitch WIPs)

The aforementioned WIP is this sitcom I'm working-titling Who Knows One? that essentially has the vibe of the closest you could get to a Jewish equivalent of Black-ish (I would have called it Jew-ish if they hadn't made Black-ish spinoffs using ish as the franchise signifier). Why I had the idea of the dad being a musician is I wanted them to have a job that'd lead to them indirectly crossing paths with many social issues/explaining many cultural signifiers the same way Dre being an ad man on Black-ish does and everything more overtly social-issue-y felt like it'd derail either plot or tone from this being a family sitcom and education felt like too much of a stereotypical job for a Jew. Then an idea of my mom's for another aspect made me double down on the musician idea; I was unsure of the right setting and she suggested the Detroit metro area and Detroit has both quite the diverse cultural makeup and quite the music scene

As for my band question part of why I initially thought a non-A-list-musician parent could work in a family sitcom without derailing the focus of the plot is because the sadly-short-lived Wonder Years reboot managed to pull it off with Dule Hill's character Bill Williams. However, sometimes (though maybe that's a factor of how many episodes they got) it was very easy to kinda forget the guy had a band which is why I added that point of wanting band members to not feel like glorified extras. However, I'm afraid giving them proper amounts of depth/focus would just mean there's too many damn characters as there's already five people in the family (dad, mom and three kids though unlike a lot of family shows I'm going girl-guy-girl oldest to youngest instead of the usual big-brother-little-brother-middle-sister arrangement you see on everything from The Middle to Wizards Of Waverly Place) and enough people are involved in the behind-the-scenes of a music career that they could be the same kind of "work ensemble" for this TV dad that Dre's coworkers on Black-ish are for him if I kept the guy a solo artist

Simon never thought his body was anything special—not really.

He's just keeping fit because it's part of the job, sweetheart, so body worship wasn't on his bingo card when you invited him over for some rest and relaxation.

Well, not his body, yeah?

Your eyes lit up like it was fuckin' Christmas when you saw him. Simon had just gotten out of the shower, hadn't really had time to put his towel on, and what the fuck is it with him losing track of time when he's with you? All Simon remembered was hearing you mutter "Bloody hell..." under your breath (heh, he's rubbin' off on ya) and next thing he knows, Simon's laying on your bed. Naked. Under you. Wait a fuckin' minute—

His mind goes blank when he watches you watch him; you look at him like he's a fuckin' masterpiece, like he's the most beautiful thing you've ever seen, body hair, cuts, bruises, burns, dents and all, drooling without the drool or what the fuck ever, but shit, it's enough to make Simon's face hot. If he wasn't embarrassed then, he's sure as fuck embarrassed now, and he'd bet every pound he had that knobhead Johnny would have a field day with this.

It's the way you kissed, nipped, and sucked everywhere you could (Christ, you even played with his nipples), making him feel so good, making him feel so bloody seen. Rough skin against your softness, and he's never felt so self-conscious before. You were so damn careful with his latest set of bruises, so fuckin' kind and considerate that he felt his heart jump.

It's the way you ran your hand down, all the way fuckin' down, until it wrapped around his cock. His cock that you're lazily stroking, his cock, hot, heavy, leaking, just... what the fuck are you doing to him?

It's the way you kissed Simon's Adam's apple, soft, gently, and he was afraid to swallow because he thought he'd lose something but he sure as hell felt the goosebumps on his skin and shivers run down his spine.

But it's the coup de grâce, you swopping down to kiss the scar dangerously close to his lips, that shatters Simon completely. Breaks him down so fuckin' much that he's practically holding on to you for dear life. He leans against your touch, wonders what the fuck it would feel like to have your lips against his, and he barely registers the fact that he came, not earth-shattering but a warm blanket over him, and it feels like his very first time.

Fuck, this should've been his very first time.

"Aw, you do turn bronze when you tan, Simon!" He looks down, takes inventory of his tan lines (when has he ever lied to you, sweetheart?), looks up at your beaming smile, snorts, and rolls his eyes. If this were anyone else, he'd probably be pissed that the mood was broken.

It's you, though, and it makes everything feel right.
