cw hire me to promote your shows please

chipped

Man, this is such a perfect analogy. “Chipped”… Just damaged enough for it to show at times, but not nearly broken enough to warrant fixing. And so often does the chipped cup turn itself to show its undamaged side.

So lately there’s been a lot of scary things happening in media (journalism is dying and there’s huge media layoffs, Amazon, Disney and Netflix are taking over everything, etc). I want everyone to remember how truly amazing and unique AO3 is and the sheer amount of organization and work it takes for it to be independent - many of you on here are young and may not know how much it changed being a fan. Read your history.

To Everyone Who Has Ever Complained About the ‘Overrepresentation’ of LGBTQ+ Characters in the Arrowverse:

Here’s all the main characters Arrow has ever had: Oliver, Laurel E1, Laurel E2, Tommy, Diggle, Thea, Moira, Quentin, Felicity, Roy, Slade, Malcolm, Curtis, Adrian, Rene, Dinah, and Diaz.

One of them is gay out of a total of 17.

Here’s all the main characters Legends has ever had: Martin, Ray, Rip, Sara, Jax, Kendra, Carter, Mick, Leonard, Eobard, Amaya, Gideon, Nate, Zari, Wally, Ava, Constantine, and Nora.

Two are bisexual and one is gay out of a total of 18.

Here’s all the main characters The Flash has ever had: Barry, Iris, Caitlin, Cisco, Eobard, Harrison, Joe, Cecile, Wally, Julian, DeVoe, Ralph, Nora, and Cicada.

As of now, none have been LGBTQ+.

Here’s all the main characters Supergirl has ever had: Kara, James, Alex, Winn, J’onn, Cat, Mon-El, Maggie, Lena, Reign, Braniac 5, Agent Liberty, Dreamer, Nia.

Two are gay and one is transgender out of 13.

The greater majority of LGBTQ+ characters we’ve had have been only recurring or guest characters: Nyssa, Nick Anastas, William, Emily, Guinevere, Digsy Foss, Gary, Paul, Rob, Singh, Ray Terrill, Lindsay, Queen Anne, and E-X Snart.

All of these characters have only had extremely short lived onscreen relationships/no actual onscreen relationships (Nyssa, Paul, William, Emily, Gary) or had very little significant screen time in general (Nick, Lindsay, Guinevere, Anne, Singh, Rob) or were from another universe who showed up for 5 minutes in one single episode (Digsy, Ray Terrill, E-X Snart).

So here’s the total number of main, recurring, and significant guest characters we’ve had on all four shows: 195

Here’s the total number of main, recurring, and significant guest LGBT characters we’ve had on all four shows: 21

So roughly 10% of all characters have been LGBTQ+. That’s about equal to the percentage of LGBTQ+ people in the world population. Saying there’s “too many” LGBTQ+ characters in these shows is just pathetic.

Representation is so so so important. I know it has helped me be comfortable with my sexuality, and I’m sure it’s helped many more.

(Just to add some context to this post, after William being revealed as gay on Arrow, a lot of people on some other sites have been complaining about the Arrowverse being “too gay”. It’s not. In fact, I give the CW a lot of credit for having this many LGBTQ+ characters.)

please.

That is the exact spot my parents found a stray kitten. Nice little addition to the family, but would have been a terrible addition to the pavement had she not been very vocal OTL

No joke, the place where that cat is resting in this picture is called a “dead cat hole” it’s an automotive term.  Don’t believe me, look it up.

This is also where I found a stray cat, she was up in there during a thunderstorm and I begged my dad to let me being her inside and that’s the story of how I got my first cat.

Please don’t skip over this without reading it and making a mental note. Even if you don’t have a car, tell your parents or whoever, and make sure to do this. You think that’ll never happen but that’s what everyone thought who had this happen and didn’t check, and that poor cold cat met with a terribly sad end.

23 reasons why Katie McGrath would make a great Xena

If there’s gotta be a Xena reboot with a new cast, I think there’s one standout choice. Add more reasons if you think of any!

1. She’s a master of the Evil Smirk™, and recognizes the importance of headwear to signal your evilness.

2. She knows how to throne.

3. She’s clearly been practicing her Angry Screaming Xena face in the mirror.

4. Like Xena, she does the Royalty Look™ right.

5. Hooray for sword flipping!

6. Looks great on a horse when Good™…

Or Evil™!

7. She understands that whenever your gal pal kinda sorta dies, you gotta wear a lot of fur and head into the snowy snowy mountains.

8. She freaking OWNS the red lipstick look.

9. And appreciates a good donut.

10. She knows how to deal with gross advances from lame unwanted husbands.

11. Or really from any men, actually.

12. She’s got that thing where she’s always sexy, but somehow gets even hotter when covered in dirt.

13. When she’s not busy being sexy, she spends a lot of time making faces.

14. She knows the power of an arm cross.

15. And she likes a nice blade.

16. She’s also a fan of the Casual Hand Wave of Coolness.

17. And knows the proper facial reaction for when men are speaking.

18. She’s used to being a lone wolf with a dark, lonely past, who’s never had a real friend before.

19. But she’s excellent at cuddles. 

20. And she instinctually knows the look to give your gal pal over a campfire.

21. And even though she’s a total badass, she’s also a fluffy soft lil puppy with ridiculously beautiful eyes.

22. Exhibit B.

23. And, perhaps most importantly, she’s really good at this:

Thank you for attending my TEDTalk, and thanks to the original sources of these screen caps and gifs!

Okay but we can all agree that the Lena centric episodes are LIFE! Give Katie all the awards!

Ohhh I get it. Scenes like these are only romantic when it’s not two women. Thanks for the clarification CW.

You guys are all sleeping on One Day at a Time

I don’t know why more people aren’t talking about this show???? It is a genuinely great show that deals with important social issues unlike any other show I’ve ever seen.

The majority of the shows main characters are Cuban, that’s right, almost entirely PoC. There is one only white main-ish character.

It deals with mental illness. The mother suffers from PTSD after serving in the army. She is never belittled or made to seem weak. She is a strong woman who is portrayed as more than her illness. The show even shows her taking the steps she needs to help herself.

One of the main characters is a feminist teenage lesbian. 

Once she comes out her whole family supports her. Her mother struggles to come to terms with it but never lets her daughter know, instead she educates herself and eventually fully accepts it. Her grandmother, a devout christian, struggles as well for all of 20 seconds before she destroys the argument that being gay goes against god in a few short sentences

The white character is a rich white straight dude but is also a nice guy. Not a Nice Guy™ but an actual nice guy. He sometimes says/does racist and sexist things but is quickly corrected by either himself or other characters.

The show also deals with issues like illegal and legal immigration, racism and sexism. 

In short, this show is sent from fucking heaven and idk why more people aren’t talking about it. Go watch it
