"You’re going to be ok Derek"
Dear triplexpoint! I finally managed to finish your gift, haha. I hope you did not feel like I forgot you, quite the opposite. I started 3 times over, unable to decide on a motive. <3! But luckily, the deadline is not yet here, so whew! All the best to you ♥♥♥
American television:
"GREAT NEWS! They love the show! So let’s go ahead and drag out this storyline for so long that not a single person wants to watch it anymore! Let’s strip it of every scrap of dignity so we can make as much money as we can! What… you only have 3 seasons planned out? THAT COULD MAKE TEN SEASONS EASILY!—
You like that show? We’ll, we’re gonna make you hate it.”
"We Need More Coming of Age Films with Female Leads and Characters of Color" by Candice Frederick
Lately there has been a lot of attention paid to the new crop of coming of age films turning up everywhere, most recently The Way, Way Back and The Spectacular Now. I get it; we all want to revisit that warm and fuzzy (and sometimes awkward) time in our lives when we weren’t quite sure who we were and what we wanted to become, but we were excited—or fearful—about the possibilities.
But have you noticed that many of these films share one glaringly common theme among them? I’m talking about the fact that in most cases they’re about young white males, or even their older—and apparently still directionless—counterparts. Michael Cera and Paul Rudd aren’t the only ones who could play wondrously clueless wusses on screen. What about all the young girls who struggle with the pains of adolescence, or women who may for whatever reason be looking for a new beginning, or even the characters of color who must contend with a whole other set of challenges as they set out into the world on their own? They’re inexplicably—and unforgivably—being overlooked.
