Profiles of Pride: June 16th! 🏳️‍🌈Lana and Lilly Wachowski🏳️‍🌈

Lana Wachowski (Born June 21, 1965) and Lilly Wachowski (Born December 29, 1967) are American film and TV directors, writers, and producers. They are siblings, and are both trans women. After dropping out of college, the Wachowskis ran a house painting and construction business in Chicago while writing for Marvel Comics' Razorline imprint, namely Ectokid (created by horror novelist Clive Barker) in 1993. They also wrote the series Clive Barker's Hellraiser and Clive Barker's Nightbreed for Epic Comics.

Collectively known as the Wachowskis, the pair made their directing debut in 1996 with Bound, and achieved fame with their second film The Matrix (1999), a major box office success for which they won the Saturn Award for Best Director. They wrote and directed its two sequels: The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions (both in 2003), and were deeply involved in the writing and production of other works in that franchise.

During production of the first film, the Wachowskis and Spencer Lamm, who ran the film's official website, developed comics based on the setting of the film, which were published free of charge on the website. These and a few short stories were released in three series from 1999 to 2003, with several of them (along with new material) collected in two print volumes in 2003 and 2004. The Wachowskis themselves contributed "Bits and Pieces", a prequel to the movie that explains the origins of the Matrix, featuring illustrations by Geof Darrow, the movie's conceptual designer. Other writers and artists that contributed to the series include Neil Gaiman, Dave Gibbons, Paul Chadwick, Ted McKeever, Poppy Z. Brite, and Steve Skroce.

After Lilly Wachowski came out as transgender, she encouraged looking back on her and Lana's works "through the lens of our transness", saying that the themes of identity, self-image and transformation are apparent in The Matrix.

Following the commercial success of The Matrix series, they wrote and produced the 2006 film V for Vendetta (an adaptation of the comic of the same name by Alan Moore), and in 2008 released the film Speed Racer, which was a live-action adaptation of the Japanese anime series of the same name. Their next film, Cloud Atlas, based on the novel of the same name by David Mitchell and co-written and co-directed by Tom Tykwer, was released in 2012. Their film Jupiter Ascending and the Netflix series Sense8, which they co-created with J. Michael Straczynski, both debuted in 2015.

The siblings have worked as a writing and directing team through most of their professional film careers, until the second season of Sense8 in 2016. At this point Lilly took an active break from writing and directing, with Lana continuing the TV series solo, which has marked the first time that the siblings worked separately.

Rumors that Lana Wachowski was transitioning spread in the early 2000s, though neither sister spoke directly on the subject at the time. In 2003, Gothamist reported the possible transition. In a 2007 interview, Joel Silver, the producer of numerous Wachowski films, said that the rumors concerning the transition were "all untrue", saying that "they just don't do interviews, so people make things up." Crew members working on Speed Racer said similar things.

Lana publicly revealed her transition after Speed Racer's release in 2008 and by at least December 2010, after which trade magazines and newspapers referred to her as Lana Wachowski. In July 2012, Lana made her first public appearance after transitioning, in a video discussing the creative process behind Cloud Atlas. Lana is the first major Hollywood director to come out as transgender.

In a September 2012 interview with Aleksandar Hemon of The New Yorker, Lana described an incident in third grade at Catholic School when she was hesitant to join the boys' line and unconsciously accepted herself as belonging to the girls'.

In October 2012, Lana Wachowski received the Human Rights Campaign's Visibility Award. In her acceptance speech, she revealed that once during her youth, she had considered suicide because of her feelings of confusion about her gender identity. Her acceptance speech was one of the longest public appearances by either of the reclusive sisters. Lana said that, although she and Lilly had not publicly commented on her transitioning during the previous decade, it was not because she was ashamed of it, nor had she kept it a secret from her family and friends. Rather, she stated, the two are generally shy about the news media and prefer to maintain their privacy. Comparing media exposure to losing one's virginity as an irreversible event that only happens once, the Wachowskis had tried to stay out of the public eye. They feared losing their privacy and the ability to go to public places without being noticed and harassed as celebrities.

In March 2016, Lilly Wachowski also came out as a transgender woman, issuing a statement to the Windy City Times after a visit from a reporter from the Daily Mail newspaper who had attempted to get an interview with her about it. In that article, she said, "I am one of the lucky ones. Having the support of my family and the means to afford doctors and therapists has given me the chance to actually survive this process. Transgender people without support, means and privilege do not have this luxury. And many do not survive."

Her first public appearance since beginning transitioning was a few weeks later, at the 27th GLAAD Media Awards, where she accepted an award for her Netflix series Sense8 for Outstanding Drama Series. She said, "I didn't feel obligated to be here, but I wanted to do something. And it's serendipitous that the awards were a couple of weeks later and our show was up for an award."

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH is a 1971 children's science fiction/fantasy book by Robert C. O'Brien, with illustrations by Zena Bernstein. The novel was published by the New York City publishing house Atheneum Books.

 This book was the winner of numerous awards including the 1972 Newbery Medal.   Ten years following its publication, the story was adapted for film as The Secret of NIMH (1982).

 The novel centres around a colony of escaped lab rats–the rats of NIMH–who live in a technologically sophisticated and literate society mimicking that of humans. They come to the aid of Mrs. Frisby, a widowed field mouse who seeks to protect her children and home from destruction by a farmer’s plow.

 The rats of NIMH were inspired by the research of John B. Calhoun on mouse and rat population dynamics at the National Institute of Mental Health from the 1940s to the 1960s.

 After O’Brien’s death in 1973, his daughter Jane Leslie Conly wrote two sequels to Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH.

 The Secret of NIMH is a 1982 American animated fantasy adventure film directed by Don Bluth in his directorial debut and based on Robert C. O'Brien's 1971 children's novel, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. The film features the voices of Elizabeth Hartman, Peter Strauss, Arthur Malet, Dom DeLuise, John Carradine, Derek Jacobi, Hermione Baddeley, and Paul Shenar. It was produced by Bluth's production company Don Bluth Productions in association with Aurora Productions.

 The Secret of NIMH was released in the United States on July 2, 1982, by MGM/UA Entertainment Co. under the United Artists label. It was praised by critics for its elegant and painstakingly detailed animation, compelling characters, and deep and mature plot, and won a Saturn Award for Best Animated Film of 1982. Though only a moderate success at the box office, it turned a solid profit through home video and overseas releases. It was followed in 1998 by a direct-to-video sequel, The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue, which was made without Bluth's involvement or input and met with poor reception. In 2015, a live-action/computer-animated remake was reported to be in the works. A television series adaptation is also in development by the Fox Corporation.

Have you seen the nasty attacks on Cait from Sam's fans after she won The Saturn Award while he didn't? What's your opinion on this?

Thanks for asking for my opinion, Anon. 😃

Wait a minute… nasty attacks? That makes NO sense.

Why would anyone attack Caitríona for winning the 2024 Saturn Award for Best Actress in a Television Series? She won the same award in 2021, and in 2015 and 2016, she won Best Actress on Television, and was nominated for best actress four other times.

Sam was nominated for the 2024 Best Actor in a Television Series award. He’s been nominated eight times, winning in 2019. Interestingly, he was nominated as a supporting actor in 2015.

All their combined 16 nominations were for Outlander. The show itself won 2024’s Best Action/Adventure/Thriller Television Series, one of the eight “show” categories.

The 2024 Saturn Awards offered 11 acting awards: five for film, six for television (Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Younger Performer, and only in the TV category, Featured Guest Star).

Neither Caitríona nor Sam would qualify as supporting, younger, or guest star. Caitríona would not qualify for actor; Sam would not qualify for actress. Duh.

So why would anyone attack Caitríona for winning an award for which Sam could not, would not qualify?

Are you thinking I missed your point, Anon? 😂 I didn’t.

Yes, I saw chatter and whingeing on Tumblr and other sites. I’m aware some people said nasty things. I’m reminded of a child’s birthday party where a non-birthday sibling throws a tantrum when the birthday sibling opens a particular gift.

“Why does she get Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes LEGO and I get nothing?! 😫”

I think comparing apples to oranges never makes sense. I think both nominations and wins deserve recognition. I think tearing down one person to build up another person is childish and shortsighted.

I think the people involved in these conversations care a lot more about the Saturn Awards than either Caitríona or Sam does.

Remember… I don't deserve this award, but I have arthritis and I don't deserve that either. — Jack Benny

J2 Tinhat Timeline

2016

For the timeline from 2017 or for any of the years from 2015 to 2022 once they’re all posted, search my page for “timeline.”

Note: again, the content within each year is not yet listed chronologically, and sadly I can only include a small handful of photos and GIFs due to limited image space, but if you’d like the visual counterparts for anything, just message me!

No year is even close to being a fully comprehensive collection yet, but I’ll be updating each post over time to get as close to that as I can!

—————————

February 27th:

Jared spends his anniversary (as in his faux anniversary, the anniversary of his marriage to Genevieve) out with Jensen.

March 11th:

The Js are spotted out in Austin date-night-ing it up at the Gleason (documentary) debut.

September:

Rogue Magazine publishes some interesting photos of the Js on either side of a door (a closet door, even? perhaps?)-

Either way, their body language is certainly something to talk about…

November 11th:

The Js have a wild night out together at a Kaleo concert and then at San Jac Saloon.

(GIF/photo set courtesy of out-in-the-open)

November 30th:

The Js are each other’s date to Mark Shepard’s wedding! 😍❤️

Saturn Awards, Cassidy Gard interview:

While chatting about J2’s “bromance,” Cassidy comments that it seems like the two of them definitely have a good time together.

Jensen smiles, averts his eyes, and responds with, “we…probably have too much of a good time.”

Atlantacon:

The Js serenade each other on the keyboard. Jared plays ‘Right Here Waiting’ for Jensen, and Jensen plays ‘Everything I Do, I Do it For You’ for Jared.

Also-

A trans fan speaks to the Js about finding the courage to transition.

Jared: “I know what it’s like to have to keep a secret and not be who you are.”

Jaxcon:

Jared tells a story about being out to dinner in Rome with Genevieve and accidentally flipping off the waiter. (see 2016 asylum directly below for significance)

Asylum:

Jensen tells the exact same story above about being at a restaurant in Rome and Jared accidentally flipping off the waiter, except JENSEN was the one who was with Jared in Jensen’s re-telling.

*note: this is just one of many moments all supporting the fact that when the Js talk about their wives, they are often actually speaking about each other.

Purple rain:

Jared forgets that he and Jensen are visible from behind and blatantly (really, really blatantly) spends some time massaging Jensen’s upper arm and shoulder in a not-at-all platonic way.

*notable as one of those extra special J2 things that has singlehandedly (as a stand-alone moment) convinced a significant number of now-tinhats that Jared and Jensen are not platonic with each other.

Jib, closing ceremony:

Jensen refers to Jared and Genevieve’s marriage while air quoting the word “married.”

He also pulls Jared fiercely into a full body embrace that has gone on to become one of the most well-known and most frequently talked about J2 moments.

Seacon:

The Js again discuss the first real fight they had, and Jared says, “That happens in any relationship, whether it’s friends, boyfriend-girlfriend, boyfriend-boyfriend, it gets tested, and that’s when you find out whether or not it’s worth it to you.” (parallel to 2017 minncon)

*note: although Jared included “friends” in this list of relationships, he also threw in “boyfriend-boyfriend,” so…

Also-

Jensen says (about himself and Jared), “Early on, we found out that we were better together, the two of us, than we were separate.”

Also-

Jared refers to Jensen as his partner, something they both have done on multiple occasions-

Jared: “I’m going to ask what my partner’s favorite part is, or the first thing that comes to his mind for every season.”

Chicon:

Jared says this super significant thing about the industry-

“I’ve had a lot of joy and a lot of pain being in the public eye. (…) You don’t have to be on TV to be acting.”

Houscon:

Jared goes without his wedding ring on Valentines Day.

Also-

Jensen says, about himself and Jared, “We were made for each other.”

Also-

Richard Speight seems to nearly slip up and say something that he ends up realizing mid-sentence he can’t say while a camera is present-

Richard (to Jared, about a Valentines card he’s working on that Jensen has just dumped glitter all over): “This was good until your-...this was good until HE dumped glitter all over it.”

Vegascon:

Jensen gives a long, thoughtful, completely gender-neutral response about finding the one in which he uses words like “partner” and “teammate” that he has previously used on numerous occasions (and will use many times again after this) to describe Jared/his relationship with Jared.

(on two different ways of ‘finding the one’) “-you just know with an absolute and have a certainty, like this is the one for me, unequivocally. And there’s those who are…I don’t know…I’m scared, but I’m willing to take that leap of faith with you, and I found myself somewhere in between both of those. It’s a scary endeavor that certainly has its ups and downs, but it’s a bond, and it’s a connection, and it’s a friendship, and it’s a ride, and it’s a journey…that if you’re willing to stick it out together is an amazing, beautiful thing. And…I’m so glad I picked the partner, the teammate, that I did.”

Also-

Jensen (about Jared): “He calls me and he’s like ‘hey, babe.’” (revealing the fact that Jared calls him ‘babe’)

*note: the ‘babe’/‘baby’ thing is not an isolated incident, either…

Burcon:

Jensen offers his sleeve for Jared to wipe his nose on, which may not sound like much on the surface but which is, in reality, incredibly indicative of an extremely deep level of intimacy and trust between the two of them.

Torcon:

Jared reminisces about the (super romantic) Stanley Park lunch date he and Jensen shared together way back when they were filming Wendigo and falling for each other-

Jared: “[Jensen] said, ‘there’s a cool spot over here if you want to come eat,’ and I was like ‘alright.’ So we grabbed our lunches and sat on the sea wall.”

Jensen: “It was a Taster’s Choice moment.”

(note: after doing some research and receiving input from a local, I learned that Stanley Park is well-known for being a couple’s spot, for being a place you take a date)

Message from Supernaturalwinter: “I’m from Vancouver - ya you don’t go to Stanley Park for lunch unless it’s as a date (or you’re with a big group of friends and you’ve planned a picnic, also the only places to eat around Stanley Park are ‘couples spots’), like you go for lunch and it’s a date.”

DCcon:

Another ‘partner’ moment (Jensen to Jared)-

“When you have a partner you’ve been dancing with for that long…”

Also-

Jared opens up a bit about his (many) struggles with the industry-

“Like…the industry has been pretty difficult for me believe it or not.”

Saturn Awards & Saturn’s Return

The Saturn Awards will take place on Tuesday 25th October. Melissa McBride has been nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Award.  She’s been nominated in this category consistently from 2014 to present, with wins in 2014 and 2015.  According to wiki, Melissa is the only consecutive two-time winner in the category and holds the record for most nominations for an actress with eight total! Even if she doesn’t win, the fact that she’s been nominated this many times speaks volumes. Her talent has been recognized year after year.  

I don’t put much stock in astrology, but I think it’s neat that Melissa’s last Saturn nomination for TWD coincides with her second Saturn’s Return. As I understand it (shaky grasp of astrology coming through lol), Saturn’s Return is supposed to be an important period for personal growth and development.  It can be a challenging time, but it’s ultimately about coming into your power and heading into the next phase of your life with confidence.  I don’t think there’s a definitive age for the second Saturn’s Return: some people pitch it at 58 (I think Melissa is 57 at the time of writing) while others use 56-60 as a ballpark figure.

Obviously, I want Melissa to win on Tuesday and I hope the odds are in her favor for the Saturn Award. And I hope her Saturn’s Return brings good things too.  

Whatever Melissa’s future holds, I hope she knows it’s been a joy to have Melissa/Carol on our screens.

Melissa’s not done playing Carol and I’m sure she’ll be nominated for further awards (and keep breaking records)!  We just need tptb to come through with a plan for Melissa/Carol/Caryl 😊
