Hear me out here…

I don’t say this about a ton of characters but…

Melinda May would be worthy enough to lift Mjölnir (sorry, *Jonathan) by the end of AOS.

Think about it. THINK ABOUT IT.

i'm currently thinking about how, for so long, you couldn't be an asian on the screen unless you were a side character that was pretty much built on stereotypes. and there are standout asian actors, but i'm a teenager so legends who made a name for themselves are kinda before my time. but both michelle yeoh and ke huy quan are the embodiment of not giving up on your dreams. even if it takes a while, you're time will come, and in a way that honors yourself. every time i see another post or edit of their oscar wins, i tear up.

i didn't grow up watching asians on tv. my only likeness as a child used to be mulan, but people at school used to tell me i couldn't just pick her as my favorite disney movie because she's asian (which, kids are dumb and that reasoning is stupid and besides the fact the she was the only representation kid-me had, mulan had a great storyline and message and characters and soundtrack and it was and still is a really great movie). i remember seeing characters like mike chang from glee on tv, but he was a character always pushed to the side, and those shows always had a way of just mocking and reaffirming stereotypes.

i think about how sometimes the only space for asian women was so that they could be sexualized, or how there was even less room for asian men on the screen unless they fit a certain look. how asians had to become an image to get their space.

and in recent years, the representation for asians has increased, and i'm so thankful. i wish i had that when i was younger, but i'm glad to have it now. with movies like shang chi or crazy rich asians, we get to see how respecting and celebrating culture is significant, but it's also not an asian's entire identity. how we are still people with stories that deserve to have main characters.

i'm so happy that eeaao gave michelle yeoh and ke huy quan their space. how this door opened for them and asians to be seen and respected. how they inspire people to dream big. how it feels possible for big dreams to really and truly happen.

when i was a little girl, i was obsessed with superheroes, which led me to my obsession with the tv show agents of shield. and i adored melinda may, played by ming na wen, who was a bad*ss character. and her character revolved not around her culture (although culture was not ignored) but how even without it she is still a character with a complex history and development and personality.

it's nice to be living and experiencing an era where asians are getting their recognition. representation is so important because it reaches so many people and lets them know that somewhere out there, achieving the dream, even for someone who looks like us, is within our reach.

we finally get to exist in the mainstream. and for that, my inner child is so grateful.

Thoughts on Nightwing #119?

[meep9898]

If they had a kid: Will and Minerva!

Name: Melinda Perkins

Gender: Female

General appearance: Standing at the same height as Minerva and inheriting her mother’s predisposition for easily gaining weight, Melinda is a chunky 5’6 woman who weight a little over 250 lbs. With auburn hair kept in a ponytail and intense, blue eyes she has most of Minerva’s facial features ‘painted’ with Will’s colors.

Personality: While Melinda took on the always-persevering and positive attitude of William instead of Minerva’s cynicism, that doesn’t mean she didn’t get some of the techie’s grumpiness, which is mostly directed at herself and her own clumsiness. Strong-willed and very determined, Melinda is always finding an accidental way to put herself in danger, leading her to many sprained wrists and ankles throughout her life.

Special Talents: Knowledgeable in programming most modern technological devices, writing (mostly poetry), and cooking (at least she doesn’t burn her own meals like her mother).

Who they like better: Minerva

Who they take after more: Will

Personal headcanon: Watching B-movies with her parents on Sundays is a family tradition that none of them have ever missed. Her favorite is 'Attack of the Crab Monsters'.

Melinda Desmond

I am sad and scared to say that I know a woman that is kind of like her.

She love her own children. But her husband and his family treat her so bad she externalize her pain and anger as violence onto her children.

She is so violent I'm scared to even interact with her. It must be all the stress that cause her to go mad

prue was having a business lunch with a potential client, but was regretting the decision. it was dragging on too long and they were saying some questionable things. eventually prue had to wrap it up. ushering him out of the door, she sat back down in her seat with a sigh. noticing a woman on the table over looking at her, prue smiled. “are we all going to end up like that when we’re old?” she joked wondering if the other had overheard some of their conversation, as it didn’t seem to be the first time she had looked over.
