Daily Degrassi (and in general) reminder that a "perfect" victim does not exist and that every abuse victim deserves better.

Have you seen this childhood show: As told by Ginger (2000-2006), United States (English)

Commentary/Context/Memories: This show made me feel sad sometimes. Not in a bad way, but in like a bittersweet way.

[Mod A: This might have been the only show in this kind of animation art style (by the Klasky Csupo studio at Nickelodeon) that I haven’t seen (since I’ve seen Rocket Power, The Wild Thornberrys and Rugrats). This show was about a middle schooler (later high schooler) named Ginger Foutley who, with her friends, tries to become “more than a social geek”. Courtney Gripling, the most popular girl in the school, is intrigued by Ginger’s “gingerism” (her odd phrases/habits) and consequently takes interest in Ginger and tries to include her in the social events of the school. Courtney’s right-hand woman, Miranda Killgallen, is jealous of the attention Courtney places on Ginger and works to make sure Ginger does not replace her in the popularity standings (I wonder how well it held up that the Black best friend was more of an antagonist). These character dynamics sounds like a great set up for a rom-com! Everyday after school, Ginger writes about her daily adventures in her diary. The show was nominated for three Emmy awards for Outstanding Animated Program, as the characters actually changed according to the plot arcs, grew up, and changed clothes throughout the show (which was rare for animation at the time as it meant more work, time and money). They also had some quite serious plots: break-ups, bullying, caffeine addictions, concerns about suicidal ideation in students (based on their class work), death, depression, and emergency surgeries. Sounds kind of like an animated Degrassi, very intriguing (makes total sense why it would be bittersweet to watch)!]

Andrea Lewis And Jamal Dedeaux Of Hulu's 'Three Ways' Open Up About Safe Sex On Set

HANNA PHIFER

MAR 30, 2023 10:00 AM EST

In the new Hulu sex comedy Three Ways, a prudish young woman named Stacey decides to open herself up more sexually by having a threesome with her new partner Justin and another woman. Written and directed by first-time filmmaker Jamal Dedeaux, the provocative and sexy comedy comes during a time when conversations around open relationships, polyamory, and sexual liberation are becoming more common amongst younger Black people. 

Speaking with xoNecole, Dedeaux says that the film was inspired by his love for such classic films like Boomerang but also by his own life more than the desire to get in on growing conversations. “I had a threesome, and I told [the woman that inspired Stacey]: ‘Hey, you should write a short film about it kinda like from your point of view.’ And then I just thought, you know what, I'll do it.”

For actress Andrea Lewis, who plays Stacey, the film was an opportunity to gain perspective on the different types of relationship styles. “I love hearing the discussions around monogamy or polyamory, just hearing the different opinions,” she says. “I've always been just a really open-minded person in terms of hearing others' experiences.”

Three Ways also brought on a new challenge for Lewis, the Degrassi: The Next Generation actress who has been acting for over two decades now. “It was definitely my first time experiencing something so spicy,” she says, dealing with the raunchy subject matter. She says that she and other actresses she works with discuss all the time how to approach sex scenes in their work. “It's always a variety of opinions in terms of some people are comfortable [with sex scenes], some people are not. Some people hope they never get something like this because it takes a lot of vulnerability.”

Working on the set of Three Ways, Lewis says she felt completely safe doing intimate scenes. “We had an intimacy coordinator, Tatiana, and she said it best: you can change your mind the whole time. There is nothing here that's like, you have to do it. You can say, I don't wanna do this, or I thought I would, and now that we're in the midst of it, it's making me uncomfortable.”

For his part, Dedeaux was deliberate about making the actresses feel as comfortable as possible to do their love scenes. “One thing I did was made sure we surrounded the set with women,” he says. “Every shot in the sex scene was storyboarded, or was it shot listed.”

“Ultimately, it requires choreography. It requires people to be very comfortable with each other, and it's definitely absolutely not as sexy as people [think],” Lewis says.

Three Ways arrives nearly a decade after Lewis released her cult classic web series Black Actress, where she plays a young Black woman frustrated with the film and television industry. With this latest film and a string of other personal projects, including a forthcoming docu-series called The Black Beauty Effect, Lewis has experienced what she describes as the dramatic shift that has taken place in Hollywood in the past several years.

“Black women in general in media have been very aggressive about wanting to see ourselves,” she says. “Now we��re getting to this place where not only are we getting a lot of diversity with representation, the focus is on how authentic we actually feel and look, it's like people really wanna see you looking like a Black woman.”

Three Ways is streaming on Hulu.

Round 3 Results

The first three rounds are over and we have our top 8:

Sean Cameron, Bianca DeSousa, Maya Matlin, Manny Santos, Paige Michalchuk, Marco Del Rossi, Holly J. Sinclair, and Alex Nuñez!

I'll post the quarterfinal polls tomorrow because doing this daily without breaks has been a little too intensive (I didn't think this through lol). Thanks for voting and reblogging! As usual asks are open if you want to send in propaganda or complain about the results or something.

On a separate note, would people be interested if I did a tournament for Degrassi ships after this?

Lol @ BBCAN for “evolving” (read: devolving) the show by getting rid of live feeds. Framing it as a way of promoting good mental health is hilarious, too. I mean, it is also literally a reality show called Big Brother. Being on camera 24/7 isn’t exactly a secret (okay, this is BBCAN - it’s more like 8/5 at this point), potential backlash is always a possibility, unhinged fans exist, creepers posting screenshots of half-naked houseguests is unfortunately still a thing, being stuck in a studio with no natural light can’t be good for anyone’s health. The format of this show is already not conducive to good mental health. I’m not sure what they’re trying to achieve here, aside from placating their sponsors and the social media maniacs who go nuts and threaten houseguests’ family members every year. If they can’t extend their shoestring budget enough to afford having live feeds, yet they haven’t considered something like charging for live feeds -- which, personally, I’d pay for -- then just cancel the show again at this point. Jesus. I just really do not trust the editors to do a good job of showing what’s actually happening, because we know they already struggle with that (BBCAN6′s glaringly bad edit, Haleena’s purple edit last year). Might as well just nix the whole concept of the show and film it Survivor-style, then we might have a slightly better shot of getting an accurate edit. At least I’ll have more time to dedicate to a full rewatch of Degrassi: TNG† instead of watching live feeds -- I mean, DiGiTaL dAiLiEs. † Well, up to the class of 2007, anyway. I don’t think I could handle watching the season 8 freshies at this point. I also have zero nostalgia for 2008-2009. Those years fucking sucked.

you guys are lucky i'm sparing you from reblogging every degrassi-daily gifset on this earth

[nyurb]

yesterday me and victoria had our new housemates kailee and emahnee over for lunch. in the morning the two of us went to metro to get supplies -- cheese, croissants, veggies, and of course a blueberry pie and vanilla bean ice cream. on the walk back we talked about boygenius, and i kept saying how it would destroy her. she didnt take me seriously and i put on ‘me and my dog’ on in the kitchen loud on the speaker and left for the entire song, and when i came back she was, quite literally, on the floor SOBBING and we had to do deep breathing and listen to happy music for ten minutes. very precious. i did school street and spoke with nico for a bit, and then went to douglas all night to work on my dracula daily essay. i sent lexie the buck meek album and she said she was gonna ‘hoop to it’ -- i miss her so much. i am slowly figuring out my stuff for yukon and its making me soooo excited! i miss it so much. i fell asleep eating chocolate and watching degrassi -- classic. i also made plans with eric today to do work downtown so that’s fun.
