The Curious Case of Seth Rogen Being Hot As Hell in ‘Like, Father’
I, a Latinx queer woman, of sound mind and body, have a confession to make. It’s something dark and lustful, something I never expected would happen after Knocked Up & Pineapple Express. I, have the hots for Seth Rogen. Look,…
Shipper ≠ Bad Fan
Every once in a while I find myself writing things that I feel are self-explanatory. Of course, shipper does not equal bad fan. Of course shippers have as much of a right to enjoy what they enjoy as people who…
5 Things ‘The Originals’ Taught Me About Life
I’ll be honest with you – I loved every episode of The Originals, until the series finale. I debated long and hard if I would ever admit that, because the truth is – people don’t like hearing that you don’t…
FYI: Real Diversity Starts in the Writers Room
Every so often I find myself writing headlines, looking at them and thinking, well, isn’t that just obvious? Why does it even need to be said? And yet, sadly, we live in a world where they still do. This morning,…
Let’s Break Down The Reason’s Why #SaveShadowhunters Is Fighting A Losing Battle
Fans have devoted their time, money and energy to the process of “saving” tween supernatural drama Shadowhunters, yet few to none of them understand why it was cancelled, or have even a passing acquaintance with why it would be next…
Opinion: It Was Past The Time For ‘Shadowhunters’ To Be Cancelled
We’ve never made it a secret that we have some issues with Shadowhunters. Ok, we have a lot of them, if we are going to be frank. Now, before you start lecturing us about the difference between an adaptation and…
‘The Darkest Minds’ Movie Talk #8: Children in Internment Camps? When Fiction Meets Reality
Every Monday and Friday we’re bringing you The Darkest Minds content leading up to the film’s Aug. 3 release. Dystopian novels typically represent a grim future that we don’t ever expect to happen. How could we ever imagine moral lines could be…
5 Things We Have Learned From Fandom
Fandoms are special. Ignore all the teeny bopper fangirls who care only about how hot the celebrity is. Ignore those fangirls who like to hate on other fangirls who don’t share their love for the same ship. And you’ll find…
Seven Reasons We Will Miss ‘The Originals’
Have you heard the news? Even though The Originals is ending this season, we haven’t quite seen the end of this world just yet. CW announced Thursday, May 17, that there will be a spin off called Legacies. This spin off…
Fandoms: Racism, Homophobia & Bad Representation
Fandoms are a microcosm of society. Or, at least, of the society we live in, right now, in 2018. And society has a problem. Writing this as a straight person, and yes, a latinx, but not in any way, shape…
Now Is The Time To Talk Gun Control
Aberjhani said, “Democracy is not simply a license to indulge individual whims and proclivities. It is also holding oneself accountable to some reasonable degree for the conditions of peace and chaos that impact the lives of those who inhabit one’s…
It’s too late to Fix the Floriana Lima Mistake, So Don’t Bring Maggie Back
Big disclaimer here: I’m speaking as a Latina woman who absolutely hates not just the fake representation that Floriana Lima gives me, but the fact that she has spoken about this fact in a less than sensitive way. I understand…
May the Force Be Female: The Lessons of ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’
Warning: Major spoilers below. Read at your own risk. Star Wars: The Last Jedi, while not a perfect movie, far excelled in landing every message it sought to send. More than anything, for the first time in probably all of…
Between The Lines: A Conversation
Fandoms are complicated, is the conclusion we’re getting at, I think. Representation is not a clear-cut matter of having “people like you” on TV, but it goes much further than that. The conversations we have in regards to these matters…
Regarding the Recent Allegations in Hollywood: We Believe You
Regarding the recent allegations in Hollywood, I would like to make one thing very clear. To each and every one of you, you are my heroes. You have strength you thought was weakness, you have bones made of steel and…
On Interpretation and Art Being Subjective
One of the most important lessons I learned in four years of creative writing was this: you have no control over how people will interpret your work. Writers are the first step in most projects. In plays, we write a…
Between the Lines: Fandom Ship Wars
Back to that age old moral dilemma of thinking we know better than anyone else what’s good for screens around the world, another characteristic of Tumblr fandom horror is the shipping war. Shipping, if you weren’t aware (who are we…
Stop Fucking Blaming Women for Being Assaulted, Mother Fuckers
When I was 18, I was pretty naive. I trusted, as most teenagers do. So when a coworker asked for help one day, near the closing time of the store, I had no hesitation saying yes, though I didn’t know…
