#lana condor appreciation

[tenaciousarcadeexpert]

list of young actresses of color who deserve to have more recognition and opportunities as actors like Florence Pugh, Anya Taylor-Joy, Kathryn Newton, Millie Bobby Brown etc. It would be refreshing to see more of these talented and underrated actresses of color

*Note, the list consists of actors born within the mid 90s-2000s. This might not be a complete list so whoever sees this is welcome to add more actors that I missed. I might update this post from time to time

This list has gotten so long that I have to make a separate one for male actors of color

Rachel Zegler-(she deserved way better than the hate over snow white)

Lana Condor-(aside from x-men apocalypse and the to all the boys trilogy, she hasn't done much blockbusters compared to Noah, despite her being the lead in the latter films)

Dominique Thorne-(She has her Ironheart and deserves more opportunities, both in the mcu and outside)

Halle Bailey

Maitreyi Ramakrishnan

Lola Tung-(same example with Lana, pretty jarring how her male co-stars are getting work beyond the summer i turned pretty and yet there's nothing from Lola)

Ashley Liao

Megan Suri-(another cast member from Never Have I Ever who also deserves all the opportunites)

Joy Sunday-(Bianca from Wednesday, deserves as much love as Emma Myers)

Iman Vellani-(Ms Marvel/Kamala Khan herself, deserves to have a thriving career and be as big like Tom Holland)

Ayo Edebiri-(2023 was a big year for her, hopefully it continues and she's not overlooked or overshadowed by her white co-stars in The Bear)

Savannah Smith-(Carried the gossip girl reboot, she deserves to have as much recognition as Leighton and Blake did after the original Gossip Girl series)

Madison Reyes-(Julie and the Phantoms deserved better than to be cancelled after one season and with a cliffhanger. Let her star in a musical and or disney film)

Simone Ashley-(One of the main leads in Bridgerton yet Phoebe and Nicola have more upcoming projects than her in Hollywood)

Charithra Chandran

Arsema Thomas

India Amarteifio

Madeleine Madden-(Carried season 2 of The Wheel of Time and if you watched the whole season, you'll understand why)

Moses Ingram-(Did not deserve the hate over the Obi Wan Kenobi series)

Minnie Mills-(She deserved to appear in season 2 of The Summer I Turned Pretty)

Amrit Kaur

Alyah Chanelle Scott-(it's frustrating that both the main leading ladies of color are overshadowed by Renee Rapp and Pauline, who's related to Timothy)

Letitia Wright-(Pretty jarring how she's been in plenty of mcu projects yet it's easy to count the number of roles she's been in outside the mcu, and has been acting since 2011, longer than Florence Pugh, Anya Taylor Joy and Millie Bobby Brown. Wright has even acted as long as Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams and they've been in more projects than her)

Yasmin Finney-(She's done both Heartstopper and Doctor Who)

Imani Lewis-(First Kill deserved better than being cancelled after one season. Let her do more horror and supernatural themed

Leah Jeffries-(Deserves all the support especially once the Percy Jackson series comes out)

Auli'i Cravahlo

Erin Kellyman-(After the Han Solo film, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Willow, let her appear in more sci-fi and action blockbusters)

Sadly, tumblr has a 30 limit on adding gifs. I definitely missed so many on the list. Anyone is welcome to add more to the list. All of these talented actresses deserve all the love, appreciation and more opportunities and roles

I might do a part 2 which will include male actors

Hi! Do you have any romcom (movie) recs? I feel like i hypothetically like the genre, but have a lot of trouble finding ones i enjoy. So many romcoms feel so formulaic (in a dead way) and misogynistic and stale to me. I think they’re a lot easier to do well in the context of a series because there’s actually time to build. Recently i thought rye lane and fire island were fun. I like kdramas when i have the time for all the episodes because i appreciate the build. I need chemistry— people who both convincingly like each other and seem like actual human beings. I thought you might have some good ideas! Thanks <3

HELLO LARGE VOICED ANON <3

I hope you weren't waiting on my recs all day haha i have been. hm. hungover af <3 (i'm going to leave kdramas off this list for now but if you would like specific recs for kdrama romcoms send me another ask and i can try to do them justice!)

I think this is a genre with underrated range! So one thing that I find very interesting about the genre of romcoms is that I think there tends to be a split between romcoms whose goal is, like, to be a fun lighthearted movie with a central romance, vs romcoms whose goal is to Say Something About Love in the vehicle of a funny movie. Both of these categories are represented on this list but for giggles i will not be saying which i think are which <3

anyway recs under the cut <3 i will link my tags for these movies if you want to take a look but be warned for spoilers ofc

I think for your purposes my primary rec would be Lovesick (aka Scrotal Recall). It's a (short) tv show so it would likely give you the chance to get to know the characters and see a slower build. In contrast to the frustration you've had with some more "formulaic" romcoms the writing in this show is very deliberately in conversation with romcoms of the past. Also it's just one of my favorite romcoms ever made so I rec it to everyone. The premise is that a young man, Dylan, is diagnosed with chlamydia and instructed to tell his past partners. Being a hopeless romantic (emphasis on hopeless), he decides to try to turn this into an opportunity to revisit relationships that didn't work out, and try to figure out where he's been going wrong. Two simultaneous storylines play out in each episode, the flashbacks to the exes (and breakups) and the present, where Dylan's best friend is getting married.

Older romcoms: When Harry Met Sally (ive heard this is divisive? but idc its SO funny and so well made), Moonstruck (a romantic-comedy in the operatic sense. also cher <3), The Philadelphia Story (katharine hepburn the woman u r. tw for a classic 1940s gag about punching ur wife in the face), Bringing Up Baby (screwball comedy my beloved), Roman Holiday (audrey hepburn is lethally charming in this movie), Dirty Dancing (someday ill write something this good and then You Will Realize), Much Ado About Nothing (i tend to enjoy either the danielle brooks shakespeare in the park version or the classic tennant/tate combo)

Teen romcoms: 10 things I hate about you (young heath ledger and young julia stiles ur welcome), to all the boys i;ve loved before (lana condor is ADORABLE), The Half of It (my other favorite sort-of romcom of the decade)

More recent-ish: Speed (like its keanu and sandra what more do you want), Strictly Ballroom (i used to watch this literally weekly as a child and I WAS RIGHT TO), Miss Congeniality (sandra bullock what u did for us all <3), Fire Island (thank u 4 my LYFE), The sandra bullock/channing tatum movie that came out last year (i forget what its called but he's so funny in it), Mamma Mia AND Mamma Mia Here We Go Again (beautiful greek islands, abba, cher, what more can you ask for?)

Indian/bollywood: Jab We Met (after dramatically quitting his job, Local Man somehow ends up escorting a woman he meets on the train while she attempts to elope with her boyfriend. aka classic screwball comedy heroine and Guy She Dragged Along For The Ride), khabie khushi khabi gham (multiple generations of romance and family drama featuring Kajol, the Most Beautiful Woman In the World), Band Baaja Baaraat (two wedding planners fall in love--great choice if you want to watch idiots ambushed by their feelings)

Other tv recs: Selfie (john cho and karen gillian in a show canceled far too soon)

Please rate some of my favorite movies for the movie meme

Parent trap

walked to remember

Save the last chance

Honey

Drumline

Slumdog millionaire

The Incredibles

Dirty dancing

To all the boys I loved before

Ooo, yes, thanks!

Parent Trap

never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece

I'm guessing you mean the 1998 version with Lindsay Lohan, not the 1961 one, but I do actually really like both of them. They're fun, and have such a good energy to them, even if the plot itself is totally off the wall, haha.

A Walk to Remember

never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece

Oo, it's been so long since I've seen this one, but I remember liking it at the time? The plot is pretty saccharine, but it's nice to have that sometimes, particularly in YA romance like that, and Mandy Moore's always been a charming and underrated actress, so I'm always rooting for her.

Save the Last Dance

never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece

My sister and I were obsessed with this movie when it came out, haha, along with Centerstage. I don't think it's aged super well, but I appreciate it for what it was at the time, and Sean Patrick Thomas was dreamy in it.

Honey

never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece

Okay, I do know that I've seen this, but I could not tell you a single thing about it, so I don't feel like I should give it a vote, haha. Jessica Alba was hot though!

Drumline

never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece

This plot sounds delightfully early 2000s in a way that does actually make me want to see it, haha.

Slumdog Millionaire

never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece

I remember loving this when it came out, but I'm not sure it necessarily holds up as well on rewatch? I actually watched Mira Nair's Salaam Bombay for the first time recently too and it staggered me how much inspiration Danny Boyle must've taken from it / how much he was influenced by it. I still like Slumdog Millionaire, but yes - would highly recommend Salaam Bombay, which I think is overall a much better, more nuanced film (and one by an Indian woman filmmaker!)

The Incredibles

never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece

Genuinely pretty hard to fault as a superhero film, but more than that, I think has really compelling things to say about middle age, parenthood, purpose and self-identity. I rewatched it recently with my nephews too, and it really holds up!

Dirty Dancing

never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece

So sexy! I only watched it for the first time recently, so have my Letterboxd review, haha:

It’s such a funny thing to watch these 80s movies that just ooze sex when there’s this rise of puritanical cinema again. It’ been a minute since I last saw this, but man, if it isn’t easy to see why it’s got the cultural legacy it has - it really stands up! Just full of charm and chemistry and just bonkers enough to sell its own fantasy. Love it.

To All the Boys I Loved Before

never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece

Pretty perfect as far as frothy YA romances go. Lana Condor should be a star.

[thebetterhawk-archive]

I have no powers and not nearly enough training, but I'm doing this anyways. Being a super hero is amazing. Everyone should try it.

► GENERAL INFORMATION

FULL NAME & ALIAS: katherine elizabeth “kate” bishop / hawkeye CURRENT TEAM(S): none PREVIOUS ALIASES: lady hawk / hawkette AGE: mid 20′s SPECIES: human MULTIVERSAL ORIGIN: earth-616

GENDER IDENTITY: cisgendered female SEXUALITY: heterosexal ( token straight ) NATIONALITY: american  ETHNICITY: vietnamese

► APPEARANCE

FACE CLAIM: lana condor SPECIAL / RECOGNIZABLE FEATURES: butterfly bandages and cuts on face HAIR COLOR: black EYE COLOR: brown ACCENT: new york CURRENT COSTUME: as seen in her last comic run ( goodbye cut-outs! )

► BACKGROUND

CURRENT HOME: new york, new york PAST OCCUPATION: young avenger / west coast avenger / heiress  CURRENT OCCUPATION: partner to hawkeye / private investigator SNAP STATUS: survived in another reality

► RELATIONS

SIBLING(S): susan bishop PARTNER(S): none currently CHILDREN: none PARENT(S): eleanor & derek bishop / heather bishop ( step-mother )

► HEADCANONS/FUN FACTS

before she was estranged from her father and cut off from the fortune, kate made anonymous donations to charities that helped rape victims

she considers lucky to be her dog even though he’s clint’s technically

she secretly doesn’t mind watching dog cops

her step-mother went to high school with her and she’s not close to her sister, so kate feels like clint is her only family

she thinks the hard drive arrow is kind of stupid but goes with it

her favorite color is purple ( duh )

it really pisses her off when people call her lady hawk or hawkette because her gender isn’t relevant here

after realizing her dad was a criminal, kate confronted him and the two became estranged, resulting in her becoming broke. she hasn’t told this to anyone yet except for clint

after her rape, kate locked herself in her room for months battling depression before she threw her memory into archery and training. she talked to someone to process the feelings, but she’s still reminded of what happened at times. very few know of it

captain america is her favorite avenger after hawkeye and she has a crush on him

as a child she was shipped off to boarding schools and ignored when she went home

she was trained in ballet as a child

hawkeye saved her life when she was younger and he has been her hero ever since

her therapist and jessica jones were initially the only ones kate told of her assault

right now she can shoot five arrows at a time accurately

her lists of exes / flings is pretty impressive

she had to branch away from clint and the young avengers to find herself and coming onto the west coast avengers kate felt like she had been successful

new york will always be her home but she learned to appreciate california

kate’s recently brought her p.i. business back to new york & it feels good to be home

► WANTED CONNECTIONS

america chavez (616) -- her best friend in the world who always has her back.

madame masque (616) -- probably her main arch-nemesis.

hi hi i'm your caratblr secret santa!! the other ask about favorite foods was from me too hehe :)

i'm also a writer so i hope that's ok! i already have a little bit of an idea for your gift but i have a couple questions so i can figure out things you like!

do you have any favorite books or movies/shows? (i know this question is so hard omg i had to answer it too but anything specific would help me get a feel for what you like to read :) also if you have any fics or authors you really like that would help too!

in your about section you said you like anime!! do you have any favorites (or anything you're currently watching that you really like?)

do you have any favorite pictures of vernon? (as a fellow dolly i know it's so hard to pick just a few i'm sorry 😭) having something to look at sometimes helps me figure out what direction i wanna go with my writing so anything helps!

that's all i can think of for now, but if you have any other details or little things you might want mentioned lmk!

hope you're having a good week so far! :)

wait 🥺 hi bb nice to meet u!! i was so excited to see this message (i had to go to sleep when i first saw this but i am so excited to answer back)

ooo a writer very exciting i love reading stories even more than i like writing so this is awesome!! i'm very excited and thankful that you'll be writing for me

favorite books: TO ALL THE BOYS (i love it because lara jean reminds me of me so much) lots of romcom -> such a sucker for romcom i can go through those books within a day or two, DEADLY CLASS -> i got introduced to it from lana condor (the actress for lara jean) BUT THE SHOW AND THE COMICS ARE INSANEEEEE

favorite shows/movies: my all time favorite movie is the theory of everything because of the soundtrack! music plays such a big part in my life so i really love that movie for that. i also really like documentaries or anything that kinda teaches me something (free solo and breaking 2 are two of my faves) / as for tv shows: hospital playlist, kim's convenience, queen's gambit

yesss i do like anime! (though i haven't watched some in a long while) some of my favorites are haikyuu, your lie in april, kids on the slope and violet evergarden! the most recent one i've watched was spy x family but i only watched a few episodes

oh boy do i have favorite pictures of vernon, let me show youuu

ok this is like a lot of photos LOL, but i really like photos of vernon that look boyfriend or very natural <3

ok! that should be all! i hope this is helpful enough :) again i really appreciate you being my secret santa!! i'm super excited for what you'll create!!

I just watched a video with Lana Condor talking about the opportunities she's got since she was adopted & the opportunities she's given to the less fortunate. Besides getting emotional over the whole thing, I'm counting my own opportunities and blessings I've received, feeling very grateful.
