God showed out.

I am so disgusted with 99.9% of the people associated with Sleepy Hollow.

I can’t even find the right gif.

Basically Nicole, Orlando and Zach are the only people I can completely stand right now. Thermostat Medication is on the bubble.

I was kind of a bully, even though I’m tiny, 5’ 2". As a child, I’d boss other kids around and dress my little brother up, just putting on shows, singing and dressing up.

TV Guide Magazine gives Sleepy Hollow jeers for killing off Abbie Mills.

The fact that, weeks later, people are STILL writing bitter, lengthy think pieces about Sleepy Hollow gives me life.

Maybe someone with a scanner can get better copies of these images.  But Sleepy Hollow misses the mark in the new Entertainment Weekly’s bullseye,  Of course a multi page essay about now badly this show mucked up would be nice, but at least it got a mention.

for those of you who are fans of Austen re-casts, consider:

Sweet message from classy co-star Sakina Jaffrey to Nicole Beharie

All in favor for a sci/fantasy show STARRING Nicole Beharie and Arden Cho?

Say aye! 

A Letter to Sleepy Hollow

I’ve been relatively quiet about the debacle that is Sleepy Hollow which is odd considering my intense passion for the show. I’d written fic and reblogged fanart. I’d converted people to fans – for which I will forever be deeply sorry. I created meta and hung out in chat rooms. In some ways, my life had become Sleepy Hollow. During the course of this season, I saw that the show I loved hadn’t actually ever come back and so, I slowly and quietly let it fade away. I did my grieving of it shortly after it returned from its midseason break. I’ve seen everyone’s commentary and while what I have to say isn’t anything new, it is mine and I want to add to the discourse.

With no confirmation of her feelings and such a focus on Crane’s, we’ve got ourselves another case of sending one character to her death to turn up the other’s ManPain. Do male writers ever get bored of playing us this same sad song over and over again? Why do they rant and rail against having this stupid trend pointed out to them instead of LISTENING? No one is asking for women and minorities to be bulletproof, and shame on the people who are stubbornly interpreting this wave of fan response in that way. It’s reductive and purposely obtuse. But is it too much to ask that those deaths not be part of a plan to wring more story out of a character who can’t help but come out looking like the more valuable one?

#1 is Ricky Whittle, who [was abused by his boss until he finally was written out of the show] and whose character [was executed and left to very graphically bleed out on the mud].

#2 is Nicole Beharie, who [was sidelined from her own show until she finally felt like she had to leave], and her character was killed off with a disgusting and racist “I was only meant to carry you forward” to her white co-lead.

Arden Cho makes #3. She basically put all of her other projects on hold for three years because she never knew when the show was gonna call her for an episode –and they never bothered to wrap the writing around her schedule like they did for white cast-member Dylan O’Brien, who was able to film two movies while Arden had to bend over backwards for the show.

[Caption: screencap of an Intagram comment left by @arden_cho: “@shermandanielles: also less than 1% of my time went into side projects (only filmed during breaks of Teenwolf) and had to turn down numerous other projects and films, I dedicated 3 years to Teenwolf and made it my first priority. I have barely even posted on my YouTube channel (which I did before Teenwolf) because I’ve been so busy. Just know that i have no choice or power. The writers and producers make all the decisions. All I can do is show up and act. If I had a choice it might be different.”]

She was introduced in the show [just so the white sidekick could have a storyline where he was possessed by a Japanese demon] and, the moment Asian mythology became unnecessary, Arden began to be further and further pushed to the sidelines. 

Even though it’s said that head writer Jeff Davis fought to keep her on the show, as soon as he stepped off of his position, MTV confirmed that Kira would not be in Season 6 because “her story was all wrapped up”, even though Jeff left her at he beginning of a very powerful arc about her powers and sense of self. Arden [loved this character], and the Yukimuras were the only regular Asian characters on the show.

Also, this week Kat Graham announced that [she’s leaving The Vampire Diaries], and though I’m not a TVD fan, I’ve seen talks that she was also mistreated. So that technically makes four.

@booasaur commented in another reblog: By the way, if people have twitter, THANK YOU ARDEN is trending worldwide right now 32.6K tweets. It’d be great to add to that support. She was always very outspoken about diversity and the difficulties of being a PoC actor. And remember, there’s a [trend for Abbie tomorrow] as well.
