Me: Woo! We finally got our Cloak and Dagger casting!
Also me: Watch when the show comes out, Cloak will be largely ignored by the fandom and the three most popular characters will be Dagger, the angsty white guy who people will aggressively ship with Dagger regardless of Dagger's actual feelings to the guy, and the other main white female character who'll be on the show. Even if Cloak x Dagger becomes the canon ship of the show, fandom will largely ignore it.
Also, also me: Well...AOS did put a gigantic middle finger to the "angsty white guy x lead female character" trope that's become popular in fandom and in Netflix land, we have Luke Cage. So maybe there's hope...maybe. We'll see.
i’m really counting on tumblr not to sleep on cloak & dagger. i’m super hopeful about this show.
a healthy interracial romantic relationship between two superheroes, crime fighting, defying stereotypes and addressing real major issues in society for women and the black community? sign me the fuck up.
there are a lot of hateful and racist comments about the casting and interracial couples on the youtube trailer from trolls who are obviously not familiar with the comics, and i’d really like to see this show be commercially successful because of the beautiful story (and a fuck you to the internet trolls as a bonus).
OMG tumblr support Cloak and Dagger
Y'all talk all day about supporting diversity roles, representation, strong female characters.
And I’ve seen several shows you guys campaigned for and NEVER watched.
Put your money where your mouth is and support.
Also political stuff aside, these are genuinely great characters with a long history that deserve it.
2x13: doing everything right
bonus:
This is so disturbing.
I’m not sure about the source, but I’ll give credit…
That's so accurate !!! 😂
If Disney Movies Had Police Officers
“““Tony Stark cares for nobody but himself, never takes responsibility for his actions, never learns his lessons, he hates the Avengers, he’s the Real Villain™ of the MCU”””
The fact we can get movies like Logan, Lego Batman, Guardians of the galaxy, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man Homecoming, Thor Ragnork, and Justice League in one year is nothing short of spectacular.
What was Danny glovers important thing????
Alright.
SPOILERS
So, there was a scene where Peter Parker was looking for Donald Glover’s character. He asked Karen, his suit, to bring up the stats. If you saw, it was revealed that Glover’s character’s name is Aaron Davis. In the comics, Aaron Davis and his brother, Jefferson Davis, were a crime duo. They would do burglaries and stuff like that. But then Jefferson fell in love and left that lifestyle behind. Meanwhile, Aaron continued. In the movie, when Spidey is talking to Aaron, he tells Spidey that he has a “nephew” that he wants to protect. This means that Jefferson and his wife already had the kid. Now, who is that wife? Rio Morales. And who is the kid? Miles….Morales. Donald Glover plays Miles Morales’ uncle who will end up becoming a supervillain by the name of the Prowler. The Prowler ends up being the first supervillain that Spider-Man Miles Morales fights. :) Pretty nifty reference, huh?
So Miles MCU confirmed by Donald Glover
Hell that was long but hell that was good !!!
WARNING: YOU ARE ABOUT TO ENTER THE TERRITORY OF AN EMOTIONAL ARMY, WHO SIMPLY WANTS TO APPRECIATE AND CHERISH AN ANGEL KNOWN AS JUNG HOSEOK. You have been warned!
Now, who is Hoseok for me?
Hoseok is my so called ‘THE bias’ of BTS (since all of them are my biases… oops).
Hoseok is my inspiration.
Hoseok is my sunshine.
And somehow he is hated and under appreciated.
Why is that, however?
Perhaps it could be because he is too kind
It could because he genuinely loves and cares for his members
And in generally is kind to all. After all, there are those who can’t fathom the idea, that someone might actually be nice and supportive to other people.
Maybe he gets hate for trying to stay positive. Some people feed on negative energy and thus really wish to bering someone with good vibes down, they want to bring down that precious smile, to destroy it.
And of course, one of the biggest reasons people hate him is because he is so talented. And as a result he achieved fame along side his members
And it pains me, oh it pains me so much to see this amazing, beautiful young man get hurt.
It hurts me so much to see people throw insults at him simply because of jealousy, because the feel threatened.
Hoseok deserves the universe.
Remember the video, when on his birthday he saw a video filmed to wish him happy birthday? Remember how emotional he got, how touched and honoured?
He didn’t waste any time, making sure to thank all the people around him, to hug them, hold their hand, anything to express his gratitude.
******
This is a young man who had the ability to do a full solo song for the groups album and he chose to write a song about his mum, for his mum, thanking her for all she went through.
This is the young BOY who said to himself that the only way he can make his mother proud, the only way he can repay her for all her sacrifices is to ‘become successful.’ Even if that meant selling his all.
Selling his body to endless practice
Selling his private life
And even selling his own emotions.
What does that mean?
Well, on one hand Jhope is a sunshine, on one hand he is Hobi.
A sunshine with a smile so pure
A sunshine with a laugh so genuine
A sunshine who just loves to play around
Yet on the other hand, he is Jung Hoseok.
Someone with a deadly passion
Someone with extremely powerful emotions
Someone rather serious
Someone who smiles much more calmly
And honestly, I love that calm side just as much as I love the sunshine side.
Because part of the allure of Hoseok is that he is a very full rounded human being. A very beautiful one inside and out. And so what i hope is that Hoseok actually allows himself to be himself (whatever that truly is).
Im sure that his members are alway there to support him.
Hoseok’s existence seems to be making everyone happy.
But its those precious moments when Hoseok is happy for himself, content with his own self that he shines like the amazing star he truly is.
When he allows his emotions to overtake him
That my heart just fills with happiness to the brim as I realise that yes, I do love this young man in some sense.
It is then that I smile because he gives me happiness, a reason to be excited, a reason to work hard.
Which is why I wold like to ask more people to pay attention to tis amazing young man.
Looks are subjective, dance is subjective and so is the ‘great’ rap style. Just because he doesnt fit your ideal type does not mean that you have to start creating movements in order to bring him down. If your favourites do not deserve to be destroyed, the neither does Hoseok, or any other innocent soul.
I hope Hoseok stays happy.
I hope he IS happy.
I hope he gets more opportunities to shine, to create his own work, develop his own self both as an artist and as a human being.
I hope he stays healthy because unhealthy Hoseok is broken Hoseok and nobody wants that. No, not because people would stop stanning, but because we do not want him to be in pain.
But if he is, I hope he does not feel like he is a Burden to BTS or ARMYs.
Because he isn’t.
Angel Hobi down mean perfect Hobi for me. It means a relatable Hobi, someone who is human, kind, emotional, loving. Angel Hobi means that by being himself, Hobi gives us one more reason to smile and go through our day.
And it would pain me if he doesn’t know what he means to me, to us.
We ARMYs support, love and cherish Hoseok to the fullest and i pray to all entities that he knows that.
Because his smile is one that must never fall.
Because his smile is one that deserves to forever stay genuine.
Lets spread the love for this amazing young man!
Thank you for reading!

Simone Veil, the woman who fought for and managed to legalize abortion in France, died this morning shortly before her 90th birthday. She was Jewish and an Auschwitz survivor (she lost her parents and brother there), as well as definitely pro-European Union. She was a wonderful woman who went through so much and gave French women so much more. She had so many insults hurled at her when she was fighting for abortion but she never backed down. She was an inspiration to me and my first step into feminism. I will miss her forever.
Such a good actor !!!

#ToD
Do you know how weird it is, as a German speaking person, to read the abbreviation of Tower of Dawn (#ToD)?! Because Tod is the German word for death and this is basically how an average Tower of Dawn post sounds to me (*insert death for ToD) 😂 :
“…I’m so excited for *death*!…”
“…I want this and this to happen in *death* …”
“…Only (for example) 30 days left before the release of *death* …”
“…I don’t like the cover of *death*…”
“… I hope we meet the spider silk merchant again in *death* …”

Book order to read the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas
So, I’ve seen a lot of people ask what order they should read the ToG series. And I’ll admit, it’s a bit confusing. So I hope this helps:
Throne of Glass was published in 2012 and is the first book
Crown of Midnight was published in 2013 and is the second book
Heir of Fire was published in 2014 and is the third book
The Assassins Blade was published in 2014 and is the prequel to the whole series
Queen of Shadows was published in 2015 and is the fourth book
Empire of Storms was published in 2016 and is the fifth book
Tower of Dawn is being published on September 5, 2017 (according to Good Reads and assuming it does not change) and is the sixth book
Throne of Glass Book 7 is slated to be published in Spring of 2018 and is the final instalment
TAB is the prequel novella to the entire series. BUT IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE READ FIRST. You can read the series before you read TAB. HOWEVER, I highly recommend reading TAB before reading QoS simply because characters come back that were in TAB.
While they are re-introduced in QoS, as if they are new, reading TAB gives you a better idea on who the characters are and what they mean to Celaena’s journey as a whole.
ToD is basically Throne of Glass Book 6. It is not a continuation of the story, but it is what happens simultaneously to Chaol while the events of EoS are taking place. According to what SJM has said, it is IMPERITVIE to read ToD in order to understand what happens in Throne of Glass Book 7.
Whew, well I hope this makes sense and that I helped you guys.
Have fun reading :)
So this means Rhys broke into her mind and made her fire that arrow, cuz you can see she said she didn’t have control over her fingers etc?! This is whole new level of Feysand
Rhysand is much better than Tamlin
Feyre: I don't want to go live with you.
Tamlin: I don't care. You're coming with me or dying.
Rhysand: I waited until you called for me to come rescue you.
Feyre: I want to leave.
Tamlin: I don't care, you're staying. You're mine. I'll lock you in this house.
Rhysand: I'll teach you how to read and put up mental blocks until the week is up...and won't lock you in a house if we argue.
Feyre: I want to learn how to fight.
Tamlin: No. That sends a message.
Rhysand: *shouts over shoulder* Cassian! Come train Feyre how to fight!
Feyre: I want to go with you wherever it is you leave to.
Tamlin: No.
Rhysand: Okay. I'll personally winnow or fly you to wherever we're going to go.
Feyre: I don't want to wear these dumb dresses.
Tamlin: Suck it up. You're wearing them. Any other clothes send a message.
Rhysand: Okay. How do Illyrian fighting leathers sound? Night Court clothes? You're not a doll. You don't have to wear those dresses.
Feyre: When we're married will I be a High Lady?
Tamlin: There's no such thing as a High Lady.
Rhysand: "She is my mate. And my spy. And she is the High Lady of the Night Court." "Not consort, not wife. Feyre is High Lady of the Night Court."
👏🏼👏🏼
Marvel fans: please go see Wonder Woman because it’s not very often that we get a superhero movie with a woman protagonist
DC fans: please go see Black Panther next February because it’s not often that we get a superhero movie with a predominantly black cast
What I’m trying to say is, these movies stand for something more important than your fandom
I KNEW IT. I. FREAKING. KNEW. IT. (Taken from @/maas_hk on twitter)

music should always be a space to just purely feel whether it’s joy or sadness or hope, I’m glad in the face of this pain there is a celebration reminding us all what music means
Do you want Sense8 to be renewed? Read this!
Starting petitions and hashtags is great, but Netflix cares about numbers, statistics, and money since this season cost them approx. $109 million.
We don’t have much time. We need to move fast. Really fast.
Here’s what you need to do:
If you don’t have a Netflix subscription, GET ONE! The 1st month is a free trial anyway.
As soon as you get the subscription, WATCH SENSE8, even if it’s only playing in the background on mute.
If you have a subscription and haven’t watched Sense8 yet. DO IT NOW!
If you’ve already watched it a couple of times, ONE MORE TIME won’t hurt.
If you know anyone who might be interested in watching Sense8, show them how to do it right. It has to be THROUGH NETFLIX, not free streaming sites.
We’re seriously running out of time. With the cast asking us to make noise, and posting absolutely nothing to comfort us, like Brian did with season 1 renewal, the odds are not looking good.
I’m talking we need to do this within 24 hours. If you think it’s not possible, think again. We can do anything we set our minds to do.
This is our chance to practically show the cast and the writers how much we love them and the show, not with a hashtag or a petition, but by actively doing something Netflix can’t say ‘No’ to.
If you love this show, fight for it.
Please, reblog so more people can see this. Thank you!
Friendly Reminder: The critics might praise Wonder Woman but if we don’t show up it won’t mean a thing!
Go see the movie.
Seriously.
Don’t like action movies? Stare at Chris Pine/Gal Gadot (whatever your preference) for the whole movie (Robin Wright anyone?)
Not into that? Cool, it also has some awesome historical designs that will make the history buff in you excited.
Critic Michael Phillips of The Chicago Tribune went as far as to say that “Jenkins and her design team make 1918-era London; war-torn Belgium; the Ottoman Empire; and other locales look freshly realized, with a strong point of view”
Hate History? take that annoying sibling/ parent/ friend/ neighbor who will enjoy it and suffer through because you are THAT great and just imagine the debt they shall now owe you.
No one you know wants to see it? Go see it anyway and write a blog about how you went as a statement piece.
This is important, and if you want to see future female superhero/antihero projects (Supergirl, Batwoman, Birds of Prey etc.) we all need to show up and bring whoever else we can to ensure that the film’s earnings reflect its critical acclaim.
I’ve been thinking, and I think I get it. All season we’ve been seeing a suffocating amount of Noora and hearing all these wonderful things about her from everyone and their mother. And we’ve been so frustrated and so pissed at Julie because it’s Sana’s season yet we’re seeing so much of someone who’s already had their own season.
But after the last clip I think it’s because we’re not really seeing Noora, but rather how Sana always feels overshadowed by her, and that was obviously something we didn’t see before because (a) we didn’t have her perspective before and (b) Sana hides her emotions really well.
And obviously you can’t really feel suffocated by someone you don’t see or hear about that often, so I think the whole point of seeing Noora 24/7 is that we’re SUPPOSED to feel frustrated, and bitter, and even angry, because that’s how SANA feels.
Basically Noora overshadowing Sana in her season is symbolic of her overshadowing her in her life, which is especially frustrating because Noora actually shares a similar lifestyle to Sana in that she doesn’t drink, doesn’t really party, or do other things teenagers usually do, but she gets away with it and is praised for it because she doesn’t look ‘different’ while Sana gets bullied and judged because she’s Muslim.
I mean I’m still pretty pissed that Noora’s taking such a large chunk out Sana’s season, but if this is Julie’s intention and she’s not just kissing Noora’s ass AND it comes to a resolution with my baby Sana being happy and appreciated, I can live with it.
what did we do to deserve girl groups
People keep asking others, “why are you so upset, you weren’t there, and Ariana walked away fine.” One of the survivors of the attack contributed to this article that highlights why we all are grieving the 22 young people who lost their lives: — “…fans worldwide are congregating on forums, hosting vigils, editing together tribute videos on YouTube and direct-messaging each other on Twitter to get through their grief – because, with a fandom as intense and loving as this one, an attack on some of Ariana’s fans is an attack on all of them. These are young people all over the world who are hurting because they ‘lost 22 members of our family the other night, too soon’…The Ariana Grande fan base, you have to understand, is a family…‘The support I’ve gotten from other Arianators is amazing and it’s helping me to get through this. Also, it’s helping me to get through depression and other mental health issues.’” Rest in peace the 22 little angels. Survivors of the attack, people who watched from their television screens, and the entire Ariana fan base, it’s okay for you to be grieving too. Your feelings are valid and if you are feeling alone please reach out for support.
Preach that message !!!! Go dad !!!
