Now what is interesting about this is this is the amazing Jenna Coleman. Got the role of Johanna Constantine after we’d auditioned some amazing actresses who were not giving us whatever that undefinable Constantine spark is, and she did. I love the weird kind of spark that we see between Morpheus and Constantine because he is actually slightly more polite with her, I suspect, than he would have been with a male alternative. - Neil Gaiman breaks down ‘The Sandman Official Trailer’

THE SANDMAN (2022) by @neil-gaiman
JOHANNA CONSTANTINE - Aristocrat and adventurer, and an ancestor of John Constantine. She was the daughter of Lord and Lady Constantine, orphaned at a young age when her parents were hanged for treason. Stripped of her title, she was forced to live in poverty. Her luck turned in 1785 when King George III asked her to retrieve Pandora’s Box. If she succeeded, her title would be reinstated, and she would gain an estate. With success, her noble title was reinstated, and she inherited Blackwood Manor, which she renamed Fawney Rig. Lady Johanna was created by Neil Gaiman as a tribute to Alan Moore, who created John Constantine. (wiki)

Wow. I watched Netflix's Persuasion and in short, it's a hot mess. The obsession with 'modernising' Anne completely strips her character of all the things that make her so beloved. Strong women come in all forms.

Anne is not Emma or Lizzie. She's Anne. Ffs. Let her be Anne.

Things I’ve learnt while binge watching Hawaii Five 0 during lockdown...part 1

1.  These two are giant goofs.

I get the McDanno hysteria - I really do - the looks, the carguments, the touches, the language - but they really are the biggest goofs around.

Also - who doesn’t love a Tol & Smol when the Tol is a border collie and the Smol is angry?

2.  Every car used in a crime has been reported stolen that morning.

Seriously - how much car theft is there on O’ahu?  EVERY crime car has been either stolen or rented using fake IDs.  Also - above picture just highlights Point One.  GOOFS!

3.  If you want to fake your death - go to O’ahu. 

A never ending list of dead but not dead characters - honestly, can no-one stay dead?

SPOILER ALERT - just in case you’ve been living under a rock for the last 10 years.

4.  This woman is a BADASS and deserved her own show.

Kono Kalakaua does it all - deadly sniper, mean right hooks, fight-ending roundhouse kicks, rugby tackles like a freight train, serious hand to hand combat skills - all while looking like an international model with a killer body, an thousand watt smile and the softest heart (after McGarrett’s) on the team.  And I thank the ‘verse for her allergy to sleeves - in O’ahu it’s ‘suns out, guns out’ all the time.  

5.  These women deserved so much more than they got - more airtime, better storylines and a wardrobe full of kickass appropriate shoes.  

I get that the show is all about the boys - but these female characters had the potential to be more than just pretty scenery.  

6.  This kid was awesome and I definitely wanted to see her and Grace hang out for the next 10 years.

7.  Speaking of kids - all of the love for this.

Hey, hey. Have I ever told you how - how wonderful your voice is? Its like hot tea and - and honey. Any child who has a father with a voice like yours is just... Have I ever told you how good you smell? And - and how soft your skin is? And how every time you take my hand, I feel your whole life vibrating with mine?

ultimate shipper challenge: [1/6] dates

Childhood should be all about swings. Swings? Yeah. You know how high can I go? If I twist the chains how fast will I spin? If I try to jump off before the swing stops? Exactly. I miss that feeling. Yeah me too.
