Not sure if this is a good rec, but I remember How to Get Away With Murder being a great murder mystery with time line shenanigans.

I used to watch htgawm for a while and was obsessed with Viola Davis lol but somewhere down the line it got away from me...I was excited when Famke came in ..but I think it was around a time when I wasn't in a good place both physically and mentally and was around the time I took a hiatus from Tumblr as well as foreign tvshows lol. I hoped I would pick it up someday again...but I probably will have to revisit it from the start. Thanks for the rec tho, really appreciate<3.

Even going to therapy is brave... We spend so much time trying to hide these truths from people, when you know you can just make a simple decision to say, ‘I need help’ or ‘I’m hurting.’ The best thing that I did, was realize that I didn’t have it together, that I needed help, that I was hurting.

Logan: No the reason I stopped wearing glasses for a while is Roman told me I looked like a character from Orange Is the New Black so...

Patton: *burst out laughing*

Logan: What?

Patton: You have to tell me before you say something that hilarious!

ALEXANDRA DUNN is a 26 -year-old SECURITY GUARD, and looks a lot like Ruby Rose.

MAYBE THEY’RE HIDING

A bright girl, destined for great things. That was how Alexandra Dunn was always viewed; by her friends, her teachers and most importantly, her own parents. Having lived within a military background for as long as she could remember, Alexandra’s parents always pushed her to be the best that she could be, to maintain her good grades and her interest in sports; their perfect little daughter, set for the real world and to possibly follow in their footsteps. Always being taught to keep her back straight, answer with respect and remain their precious little girl, Alexandra bit her tongue and held her opinion back. In her youth, she couldn’t possibly question her father’s demands, nor could she stand up to her mother. All she could do was remain quiet, say “yes sir” and continue onward with her excellence in academics and physical health. But it wasn’t long after her sixteenth birthday that she realised, she did not want to live this lifestyle anymore…

WE HOPE THEY ARE PLAYING A GAME

Junior year had reached and with both of her parents being incredibly busy at work, Alexandra had begun to toy around with her appearance. It wasn’t that she was going through a phase, but she was really beginning to experiment with who she was; who she was really meant to be and where exactly she could fit in, in the great depths of the universe – how she could be different, unique even. With ‘Alex’ exploring her sexual identity at first, Mr and Mrs Dunn faced their own form of confusion. Their perfect daughter; this was not who she was meant to be, this wasn’t who she was raised to be… But it was already too late. Senior year came, then college and Alex had come to the conclusion that she wasn’t just the ‘little girl’ that the Dunn’s had desperately clutched onto. Upon their decline and the arguments faced in the place that Alex once called home, the younger adult had finally grown into a new identity. Some days, Alex was not a she, nor a he… Genderfluid was the term that had been found online, the term that actually made sense to describe how ‘she’ was really feeling.

BUT THIS IS IS REALLY HAPPENING

Come the age of twenty-five, Alex had already jumped across three different states and left Mr and Mrs Dunn way behind in the past. Of course, they had tried to reach out since the verbal violence, the shame and the ‘disowning’ of their daughter but Alex was not interested. Changing and adapting almost into a whole new person, ‘Alexandra’ still had some loyalties though. A devoted soul, despite all of the differences between this newly-found identity and their parents, Alex still held some small honour to their father and mother for their assistance in making them realise ‘her’ true identity, and where exactly they fit in with the world… And that was why Alexandra Dunn accepted the role of a Security Guard when an advertisement for Brielle Institute appeared on the internet. To this day, the Dunn’s are unaware of their childs whereabouts or what adventure is being taken on next, what style their hair is cut now or how many tattoos that have decorated their canvas – more importantly though, they don’t even know who their ‘little girl’ is anymore… And that, is a life that Alex is pleased to be living.  

CONNECTIONS: None at the moment.

Fortunately, Alexandra is OPEN!

short voyager thoughts

im still unsure how i feel about janeway? </3 which- its very early, so im giving it time and some grace. i am dw. all trek series usually get better after the beginning, or at least thatsbeen the pattern thus far. but i think... and im going to be SO honest. i came into voyager nervous about her!? 3: which is soooo unfair</3 but sigh...

i ts just i have heard one or two disparaging comments. and i think, also, even without those i'd be nervous bc its like. sigh. still, to this DAY, whenever they try to replace a leading male role with a woman in a piece of media, its like -_- .. it almost always sucks... bc they give her no personality other than Woman. like- its always some weird combination of not thinking she needs one, or being too scared to actually DO anything substantial with her, and an overall just "not knowing how to write women" sentiment which. baffling beyond belief. 🤪!

and i was... esp nervous bc. trek has its issues iwth women- or at least it did at this point. dont know squat abt discovery. but i mean- with respect! i do think that ds9 did, at first, have some seriously groundbreaking stuff (like seriously, i'd rank kira and dax ABOVE many women in fiction now!!) but over the course of the show it sort of... ehrm. got a little worse? somehow? not bad, but less spectacular, eek...... and tng was. well tng is tng when it comes to women.... 🤨 (stares). if tht aired as a show rn i'd be like o9

(and also as an aside its like- yes, yes, yes... i am know its like. frome 80s-90s true like. im not triyng to be like "ohhhh,</3 this always sucked😁!" but also i do think tht . SIGH. i think its a little tiresome when ppl do take past media and like... completely put it into some vacuum whenever they talk abt its issues and criticise it. do u know what i mean. like i think its like: for one, its entirely interesting and worthwhile to talk about how consuming it is different, from a modern perspective as opposed to then; and for two its also like... the past isnt a vacuum sealed away from us, even, in the first place so like . ehrmr!! but anyways-<3)

so idk im a little afraid and i dont think theyre going to give her, like, a horrible depiction- but what im sort of anticipating is that shes just going to be.... extremely bland and middling and kinda serviceable bc her main shtick is well shes a woman full stop and im scared for tht fr fr. 😑😣 bc sigh. naurr.... bc she has a LOT of potential- hell this whole set up does!!! and again im giving it the shot, i want to go in optimistic but i keep getting this nagging fear every time im done with an ep and im like "well i have no further comments on janeway, exxcept katie mulgrew is hot which i knew when i was 16 and watching oitnb LOL" , like i just dont want her to just be a serviceable, fill in character but tbe in lurv with her fr frfr<333 soooooooo.................................................

BUT! also also also. i do- i said this last time abt voy, and its sorta why i had it on pause for a bit! like- i again i just. i think in GENERAL they arent taking full advantage of like their whole setup. and its like... its rlly getting me, omg!! bc again: fine, fine, fine. i get it - ds9 was like... a step towards sth grittier and its the outlier, and most ppl dont like it bc of that funnily enough. but thats the thing- like im not asking for that at all, yknow! not for anything super dark. however again i just... WHEN IM WATCHING THIS, IM JUST SORT OF. BEWILDERED BY HOW... NONCHALANT THEY ARE ABT THEIR WHOLE SITUATION. AND ITS LIKE- i think its really just feels weird to me, and i'll give them time to settle in i guess- but its just... i feel like i want more of a reaction. bc theyve given me the set up for some really interesting dynamics and, like, have it all primed to push them into really good narrative spaces to like explore these guys but theyre not? taking any of that opportunity?

and again its like theyre just on some happy jaunt- and thats fine!! hey, i love it. its whats trek will always be about in the end<3 but nonetheless i think... you CAN do that and still have them actually, like, fuckin acknowledge their predicament and be optimistic abt it. like fuck: i think this could rlly lead to such a heartwarming thing, abt the crews coming together, but like... i dont know. i guess it will. but also i dont know how much im gonna care in the end if u dont rlly properly explore the tension thats there in the first place. like you guys just sort of- state it, sometimes? but then the rest of the ep its like. youre just going through the motions of the rest of the script.

and i bring this up again bc im starting this ep (the cloud) and its opening with janeway and im wondering here if we're going to get more of her, but also its just occurred to me that literally.... i feel like shes one of the characters who really could be fucking PUSHED into something sooo good if they just WORKED! with what theyve set up for themselves an the beginning to this ep is rlly making me THINK of tht and im like ahhhhhhhh! ahrghh! AHHRGHHH!!!!

and the doctor also is like a funny example of like . what feels like the only character whos kind of pointing out how horrific this all is but its like hes written off as a joke the whole time and it doesnt even feel self aware and i think. again i think theres also an angle you could go for: go for the characters, here, being the type to just sort of steamroll ahead and power through this sort of sitch but..... EVEN THEN, i think you still need to address the actual sitch narratively in some way bc that still has an effect and consequences and etc etc etc

and i will quiet my mouth now bc i KNOW im jumping the gun too much but i think its just. i think whats ALSO getting to me is like- this is different to the other shows. where its like... with tng there was no overarching plot so if you didnt stick it right at the beginning, it wasnt of such a big consequence. with ds9 there was one, but i think it kind of forgives itself easily and whilst i wouldnt say it makes the show inherently better..... the clumsier start (bc its worth noting, whilst it was rocky i dont think ds9 s1 was THAT bad- at least by comparison to tng) can be appreciated almost! bc i think it works well with the humble beginnings of the show, the characters all sort of coming to ds9 as different people, etc............ but with VOYAGER its like. youve started with a pretty big event. what im assuming is supposed to define, like, the rest of the show from what i hear!? so its like- its like.... it was a BOLD move to do that. and im not saying that, hey! if you dont get it right now, the whole show is shot- nahhh, its not that deep- but i think it just feels... more stark in its mediocrity. and hmmmm. im again unsure. i am of how i think. i am babes i am

finished OITNB and I feel like shit

the whole message I got from this season was that no matter how much you fight for something, everything goes to shit anyway and justice isn’t served

that’s the show that gets constantly renewed while beautiful masterpieces like sense8 don’t even get a chance

Except that OITNB features tons of women of color as main characters? And so does Handmaid's Tale? Haven't you ever watched either of them? Because none of the things you just said were true about either show? I don't know anything about WW though. But seriously you should watch those 2 shows bc Idk where you're getting your information.

You must be white 🙄

A tv show featuring people of colour in it, does not mean it no longer has the ability to be racist. A show has to do more than just have non whote characters. Those characters need to be well written and treated with respect, they all shouldn’t fall into stereotypes or have their entire storyline revolve around a white character. They also should end in horrible unjustified death as a way to teach (white) viewers a lesson or be an example (Poussey Washington).

The same way you think I didn’t do research on any of these shows before responding, you didn’t do research on me before trying to come for me. I do watch OITNB, and it is racist. That’s been talked about quite a lot for a while and I’d advise you to do some of your own research in your spare time to learn about it if you’re interested (which you’re probably not).

Gal Godat, star of Wonder Woman is a Zionist. She’s a proud supporter of the IFD who have helped in the ethnic genocide of Palestinian people. I’ve reblogged stuff on my blog under the tag /anti+gal+godat or you can look into that tag on Tumblr as well to see more in depth posts.

I don’t watch the Handmaid’s Tail but I’ve heard enough about it to know it’s some fucked up story about mass rape/slavery of women and stars a white woman. 🤢

Which was the point of my post; there are many incredible movies and shows staring women that show women led media is just as wanted as media led by men. But all the examples are super problematic and star white women. And a strive for white women isn’t a strive for all women because not all women are white. 💁🏽

I don’t know what criteria the OP was looking for when making their post, but they could have used more diverse shows/movies Like Ghostbusters or HTGAWM or Empire or Scandal. And no that’s not to say a post about women’s accomplishments need to feature only black women or non white women to be valid but newsflash: white women starring in and succeeding in tv and movies is not a new concept. 😒Examples of women of varying races staring in and succeeding in various pieces of media would have been better, as well as shows/movies that don’t have as much controversy in them.

To conclude: none of what you said is true and I don’t know where you’re getting your information from. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[whatiwillsay]
