Please everyone, y'all need to go see Wonder Woman on June 2nd! It’s so unbelievably important for this movie to have a big opening weekend, it will effect almost every female led action movie coming forward. Take you friends, take your families, tell other people with kids. Female action movies outside of Star Wars and Hunger Games historically haven’t done very well, we need to make sure that Wonder Woman is huge so more female led superhero movies get green lit.

Amber Benson on the Willow/Tara Relationship

Crying. 😭

Maggie saving Alex's number as "Home" had me in tears.... ( thank you, you're the bomb!).... Also how would Kara's number be saved?

Before yall ask, this is the fic this wonderful Anon is referring to: http://queergirlwriting.tumblr.com/post/158156102169/missing-phone-and-home

And thank you so much – that meant a lot to me. It was a lowkey fic but it was hella emotional to write…

As for how Kara’s number would be saved?

It changes from time to time. First it’s “Kara Danvers”, but after Kara invites Maggie to her first game night, she changes it to “Kara.”

When Alex flies to Geneva for a week and Kara sleeps over at Maggie’s every night because she’s lonely without her big sister (this fic lol http://archiveofourown.org/works/9122290/chapters/21524555), Maggie changes it to “Little Danvers.”

From there, it changes just for fun, from “Little Danvers” to “Sunshine” to “Specs” to “Tiny Danvers” to “Fav Reporter” to “Just Ask Lena Out Already, Kara.”

When she and Alex get engaged, she changes Kara’s contact info in her phone one last time.

To “Little Sis.”

When Alex sees, she cries and says she wants to marry her right then and there.

And when Kara sees, she bawls and almost breaks Maggie’s ribs with the force of her hug, but god, is it worth it.

Great analysis!

I watched two episodes of Supergirl - 1x13 and 2x13 and recorded the amount of time in each episode that a female character got to speak. I chose these episodes because 2x13 is the most recently aired, and for a fair comparison, I selected the 13th episode of season 1.

1x13 had 22 minutes and 46 seconds of dialogue spoken by female characters, which is just slightly over half the episode (43 minutes long). The remaining time was made up of all male character dialogue, all establishing shots and scenes with no spoken dialogue (e.g. fight scenes).

2x13 had 10 minutes and 57 seconds of dialogue spoken by female characters, which is around a quarter of the episode.

When people say that Supergirl is no longer focusing on female characters, this is what we mean.

When we say that Supergirl is now a secondary character in her own show, this is what we mean.

When we say that it’s no longer Supergirl, we mean that a show that is supposed to be about women now only lets them speak for 25% of the time.

I am disgusted. This show that I loved so much in season 1, that was about brilliant, smart, brave complicated women becoming heroes in their own ways, and supporting each other, has become something I don’t even recognize.

How can a show with a female character as the lead and title character only have the women talk for 25% of an episode?

And it’s not like Supergirl herself just got 25% of the time - that’s split between the five female characters who got to talk (Kara, Alex, Maggie, Lyra and I counted the Kryptonian computer because it was a female voice).

This is not Supergirl. This is why I’m angry. A show that I loved, that used to be about women, now only lets them talk for 25% of the screen time. This is not okay.

Thank youuuuu!! 😍😘

Hey J! How long (for you) does it take to go up in weights when you're lifting or whatever? I just bumped up all my exercises but it took, like, 8 weeks. Seems like forever.

Hey love! That depends on the type of training you’re doing,and your goals, and your previous fitness level, etc! For me, if I’m in a sixweek phase where I’m lifting heavy (as opposed to doing endurance training,when my focus is on more reps rather than upping weights), I can generally go upevery couple weeks, but I’ve been (mostly) injury-free for a year and a half now, andbefore that, I have a strong history of weight training, so this is kinda like,what I do. Eight weeks to go up is great if you’re just starting out: your bodyneeds to have time to acclimate, and it’s more important to get your form right(a step a lot of people skip in order to move up in weights faster) than it isto use heavier weights, you know? You are amazing, and I’m so proud of you forworking so hard and for being so badass!!! Rock on, darling!!!

Funny how sex is an irresistible human urge when a man rapes a woman but when a woman gets pregnant and wants an abortion she should have been smarter and thought twice before having sex if she didn’t want a child

Alex wants Maggie to Teach Her™

I have been wanting to do this for so long: for those of you who don’t automatically get the reference, or want a refresher, this little pre-Sanvers minific is based on this scene from Grey’s Anatomy.

There’s a knock on the door – just two soft, nervous raps – and Maggie, in a grey tee and black sweats, trudges to answer, befuddled at the idea of company at this hour.

She opens the door and it’s Alex, Alex, fuck, the woman she’s been so desperately trying not to sleep with, the woman who’s just coming out, who has too much to learn, who’s too wide-eyed and vulnerable to be with someone like Maggie.

But before Maggie can even open her mouth – hell, before Maggie can even properly process – Alex is speaking.

“You saved her life. That woman, you ran into that warehouse and you saved her life, she’s alive.”

Maggie’s jaw is open and she can barely breathe, let alone speak, so she says nothing, and for a moment, Alex doesn’t either. Until Alex is stepping past Maggie’s stunned body, side-stepping her and walking a few paces into her living room before turning, before breathing, before sighing, before doing that nervous little thing she does with her hands, before speaking again.

“I respect you. As a woman. As a cop, as someone who’s not fresh off the gay boat, I respect you.”

Maggie’s door is still open and her jaw is still open and her eyes are even more open when Alex shrugs her jacket to the ground with a deep breath and a nervous demand.

“So… teach me.”

“What’re you doin – ” Maggie tries to splutter, Maggie tries to protest, because Alex is leaning over to balance on the couch with one hand and taking off her shoes with the other. “Don’t do that. Stop.”

But even as she slips off her shoe, Alex doesn’t take her wide, eager eyes off Maggie’s face. “Teach me,” she says again, her voice so much smaller than it ever is in the field.

Maggie exhales harshly and shuts her front door with a snap and turns back to Alex, Alex, who’s working on her other shoe now, still staring at her face.

“Stop,” Maggie pleads, not because she doesn’t want Alex – god, she does, and Alex knows, because they’ve talked about it, but she also knows that she’s fresh off the boat, that those relationships never work out.

That she has so much to learn. Which is apparently why she’s here, because she says it again. “Teach me.”

“We can’t do this, you’re just coming out, and and and I wanna do what’s best for you, and I… I’m your friend.”

“So,” Alex rebuts, fingering the hem of her purple sweater. “Teach me.” She tugs her sweater off and her camisole is lacy and Maggie groans with frustrated need and puts her hand on her own face in a desperate attempt to regain some semblance of self control.

“Na, Alex.”

“Teach me,” Alex says again, tossing her sweater down with deliberation, swiping the hair out of her face.

Maggie’s hands are on her hips and she’s trying to stare at the ground, just the ground, between them, but Alex is sighing and Alex is breathing “Teach me” again, and she’s tugging her camisole off now and her bra is some kind of maroon and her hair is swept across her face and she sighs with a small, insecure tremble in her voice.

“Come on, am I really so bad?” She glances down at her own body, stares across at Maggie’s wrecked face, stares because they’re grown women and they want each other and sure Maggie’s trying to do the right thing but doesn’t Alex get a say in defining what’s right for her and god, no, she’s not bad at all, quite the opposite, she’s perfect.

“No. I am,” Maggie rasps solemnly, because maybe it’s against her better judgement but god, we should kiss the girls we want to kiss, and Maggie just wants to kiss Alex, and Alex’s eyes are wide, are scared, are hopeful as Maggie strides forward to close the gap between them, pulling Alex down into a kiss with her hands under her hair on either side of her face, and Alex is swooning and Alex is wrapping her arms around Maggie’s shoulders and Maggie intends to fulfill Alex’s every wish, starting with teaching her everything she’s ever learned about making a woman happy.

So so so good. My wife and I binged it in 2 days...

Have you watched One Day At a Time on Netflix?? If not you should, it deals with a lot of issues and has a great coming out story all surrounding a Cuban family (it's a remake of a 80's/90's sitcom)

It’s been highly recommended! Thank you :D
