OLD MAN YAOI BRACKET ROUND 1

Propaganda:

Sir Alistair Hammerlock/Wainwright Jakobs:

THEY ARE CANONICALLY MARRIED!!!!! THEY ARE FORCE/FINESSE SUN/MOON SALT/SUGAR. THEY ARE SILLY GENTLEMEN WHO ARE IN LOVE. HAMMERLOCK IS A VICTORIAN BIG GAME HUNTER LIFTED STRAIGHT FROM A STEAMPUNK NOVEL WHO IS ALL ABOUT ADVENTURE AND WAINWRIGHT IS A SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN HEIR TO A GUN MANUFACTURING MEGACORPORATION WHO HAS SMALL AMBITIONS. OPPOSITES ATTRACT ULTIMATE INCARNATION. THE THEMES AND MOTIFS AND PARALLELS BETWEEN THEM ARE IMPECCABLE. THEY SUPPORT EACHOTHER UNCONDITIONALLY AND WHOLEHEARTEDLY. HAMMERLOCK THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO DIE AND HE RECORDED WHAT HE THOUGHT WERE GOING TO BE HIS LAST WORDS AND HE SAYS, I QUOTE: "but I long not for death seeking adventures, but instead for one… last… peaceful… moment… with you. I love you, Wainwright. Farewell." DID I MENTION HAMMERLOCK HAS A NICKNAME FOR WAINWRIGHT. HE CALLS HIM Winny AND IT MELTS MY HEART EVERY TIME. GOD THEY GET MARRIED IN THE CORPSE OF AN ELDRITCH GOD AND THEIR WEDDING IS AN ENTIRE DLC. IT ALSO COVERS THEIR RESPECTIVE DOUBTS THAT MAYBE THEY AREN'T THE RIGHT MAN FOR EACHOTHER BUT IN THE END THEY REALIZE THAT IT'S NOT TRUE AND THE OTHER LOVES HIM SO SO SO MUCH JUST LIKE HE IS. I AM SO SO AUTISTIC ABT THEM THEY ARE PEAK OLD MAN YAOI BUT THEY ARE VIRTUALLY UNKNOWN IN THE OLD MAN YAOI COMMUNITY. PLEASE.

They have an entire DLC about their wedding. Their base game story arc starts with Wainwright calling you to ask you to go on a rescue mission to save Hammerlock and calling him the love of his life.

There is a whole game DLC dedicated to their canonical marriage, they constantly call each other by pet names, every single time they talk about one another there is passion in their voices, they express how much they love and care for each other.

Irving Bailiff/Burt Goodman:

they are TRAPPED in capitalist dystopian hell and yet gay love persists. literally they are fighting for their got damn lives to be gay. they've been subjected to evil fucked up brain surgery to make them forget who they are outside of the workplace and yet. AND YET. they fall in love INSIDE the workplace and gain the desire to fight their oppressors so they can do old man yaoi activities. i forgot to take my adderall today sorry im not forming coherent thoughts but they made christopher walken yaoi real

They have only ever experienced being at work and are desperately trying to find meaning with no memory of the outside world. Fraternization is against the rules as well. The yearning is so much.

they are 2 sad old men who are in forbidden love. they bond over a mutal love of corporate art & company tote bags. their love inspired Irving to rebel against his employers for the first time ever. Burt is even Christopher Walken.

They’re so quietly sweet and heart-wrenching… fell in love on the ‘inside’ (they both work a job that ‘severs’ their work memories from their out-of-work memories; inside the job, they have no idea who they are on the outside or what the world is like, but they found each other and found a little bit of love and meaning and happiness inside the nightmare corporate world that is their job)

canonically in love with each other! in the show people sever their consciousness so they aren't aware when they're working. this creates a separate person that only exists while they're at the office, who doesn't share any memories with the person they are on the outside. these two old men bond and find comfort in each other despite the dystopian hell situation they're in

Old men having a forbidden romance while stuck in a hellish workplace dystopia

These two old men know nothing outside of their company propaganda, which says romance is forbidden, and they still choose each other. They bond over paintings, discuss company policy in each other's arms like they're debating scripture on whether their love is allowed. They're sooo gay and it's so sweet to see true, canonical old man yaoi

Weird old man office romance except they only exist inside the bounds of the world’s worst office building and they go on a little date to a room full of plastic plants

⭐ my brother blue

energy drink fiend. his favorite is just regular redbull or the blue monster. not brady, estee, or james love that he's like that so he wasn't able to consistently keep them in the house til he was older, but when he could, he did become one of those people that buys them bulk and would try to sneak a couple into the back of the fridge where hopefully no one can see them to give him shit about it. he did collect the tabs all through high school, but he got rid of most of them a few years ago.

blue only has a couple memories of parker. he was younger when he passed, and has stories from everyone else to remember him by, but not much to write home about of his own. when/if anyone tries to have a Your Father conversation with him he kind of shuts down not because thinking of his dad makes him emotional but because he resents that he didn't even get enough time with him to know who this person was. ultimately, he does consider brady and estee his parents more than either of his biological parents, and it pisses him off whenever someone reminds him that's not the case.

gym gay. after being made to seek treatment for his eating disorder, he channelled that energy into ""Healthy, Clean living"" and meal prep and macros and having a strict workout regime. it was a step enough in the right direction because he isn't actively starving himself anymore, but there's still a level of preoccupation with his appearance that should probably be addressed. but he likes the control and the routine and the clear cause/effect relationship he can see in his body. so much of his life has always been out of his control, but this is something he can control entirely. he looks so much better than he did in high school, so it seems like a hearty recovery attempt was made, but theres still some baggage there.

tote bag appreciator. catch him hauling his shit everywhere. really cannot say what that's about. he's got a small collection, mostly plain in different aesthetically pleasing colors. he likes being able to have not just the things he needs, but the things that will help him make a get away from a social situation he's shit down on, like his obnoxious over the ear headphones or the book he's currently reading.

rapid fire because none of these feel like enough to be their own point: cat owner. he has a gray cat named squid. he has one tattoo, a butterfly on his inner forearm. he wants more but he's broke. he's a psych major but he has no clue what he's going to do with that. drinks hot black coffee year round.

ok my favourite mary oliver is wild geese and my favourite richard siken is snow and dirty rain and i wholeheartedly like both poets and i do dislike the cynicism i see popping up from time to time. i think that it is far too easy to say people who like xyz are annoying or [other trait here] and it can be funny but ultimately there's reasons why things resonate and not everyone is obliged to agree but if it's good then it's good and to some extent this is directed towards myself and past self consciousness that discussing idk siken places me as a tumblr gay person or that being a phoebe bridgers listener sally rooney enjoyer tote bag user makes me irritating when i'm actually i'm irritating for other reasons and that's fine. this started to turn incoherent so i will hit post now but yes i guess what i mean is i am nothing if not embarrassingly earnest

Something Domestic: Chapter 12

A/N: Hey y'all! This story is told in first-person narrative, from Riley’s (MC) POV. There will likely be smidges of canon in this, but not too much. Thanks for reading, and please leave feedback, and/or if you would like to be tagged.

Catch up here

Synopsis: When Riley Brooks takes a new job as a nanny for the affluent Rhys family in New York’s Upper East Side, she assumes she’s just going to care for the children of the couple who hired her. But instead of just school pick-ups and afternoon snacks, she also finds herself spending time with Liam, the handsome divorced dad. Can Riley control her feelings for Liam while still performing the job she was hired for?

All characters are the property of Pixelberry Studios. Thanks for allowing me to borrow them.

Chapter Summary: Riley and Liam become “official,” but a shocking revelation threatens to destroy their relationship.

I stand in the kitchen of Liam’s penthouse, going over my plans for today. It’s only been a day since the divorce became final, but it feels like things are starting to look up. Liam and Madeleine worked out a schedule to take the kids every other week. This week is Madeleine’s week. She dropped them off at Liam’s house this morning before heading to work. I showed up for my shift shortly after. The schedule is set up for me to take Charlotte to school, spend my day with Philip, and then she picks them up at 5:30 p.m. Everyone agreed this would be the smoothest transition for the kids.

As I put the final touches on my itinerary, my mind wanders to last night with Liam. I’ve been replaying it over and over again in my mind all morning. His touch. His passion. How good our bodies felt together. I almost orgasm just thinking about it. I hear Liam’s footsteps approaching and turn to find him entering the kitchen. He wraps his arms around my waist and whispers into my hair. “You busy tomorrow night?”

“Oh, you know. The usual. Comfy pants. Junk food. Real Housewives.”

He smirks. “Sounds good. But what if I can offer you good food, good company, and really good sex?”

I blush. Is it hot in here? Or is it just him? “I’m listening.”

“Let me take you out on a date. I’ll wine you, dine you…” he grins seductively. “...well, you know the rest.”

I wrap my arms around his neck, pulling him down to meet my lips. “You had me at good food.”

He groans and grabs my ass, lifting me up, and sets me on the kitchen island. His hands slip under my blouse, his fingers tracing up my sides, and toying with the lace of my bra. I tug on his tie and take his bottom lip in my teeth. “Where are you planning on taking me, Mr. Rhys? So I know what to wear tonight.”

“Well, if all goes as planned, you won’t be wearing anything. But if you must know, I’m taking you to Masa, so dress accordingly.”

My eyes widen. Masa is one of the most exclusive restaurants in the city. It’s also considered one of the most expensive restaurants in the world. One meal will set you back around $500-$600 and the waitlist for reservations is at least three weeks out. I wonder to myself how he was able to score a table at a place like that, but then I remember his family pretty much owns the city. He notices my expression and smiles.

“Don’t give me that look. You’re worth it and I want to spoil you. Let me have this.”

“Fine,” I sigh. “But just this once. You don’t need to spend that much money on me. We could hit up the drive-thru at McDonald's and I’d be happy.”

“I know. That’s what I like about you. Now, get your sexy ass upstairs and get my kids up. I’ll pick you up at your place at 8 p.m. tomorrow.” He steals one more kiss before helping me down off the island. I make my way upstairs and get the kids ready for the day. Once they’re both dressed and fed, we head off to school.

After dropping off Charlotte, Philip and I hit up the “T.Rex: The Ultimate Predator” exhibit at the Museum of Natural History. The place is buzzing with groups of school children chaperoned by adults. I keep Philip close to me as we make our way through the crowd. As we walk by a 12-foot-tall skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus rex, he tugs on my hand to get my attention.

“Riley? Do you think he comes to life at night?”

“What?”

“T-Rex. Does he come to life and play fetch?”

I give him a confused look. “He’s extinct, buddy. And has been for about about 65 million years.”

He looks back at me and gruffs in annoyance. “In Night at the Museum, he comes alive and plays fetch with Larry. He also drinks from the fountain.”

Whoops. Guess I didn’t see that movie. Feeling like a total dumbass, I grab Philip’s hand and guide him to the next exhibit.

After our daily ice cream stop, we pick up Charlotte from school. She tells me about an upcoming field trip her class is having and hands me a permission slip looking for chaperones. I wonder if nannies can even chaperone school field trips. When we get back to the penthouse, I set the kids up in the playroom with art supplies and watch them paint. Philip paints images of dinosaurs and Charlotte paints a dog. My mind wanders to my date with their father tomorrow night and the butterflies in my stomach start fluttering up a storm. Holy shit. I need to find something to wear. I fish my phone out of my tote bag and give Hana a call. She picks up on the second ring.

“Ohmygods, Hana. I need your help. Liam is taking me to Masa tomorrow night and I have no idea what to wear. What’s the dress code like for a place like that? Is it black tie? Can I wear my sponsorship dinner dress again?”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm down. What time is he picking you up?”

“8 p.m.”

She chuckles. “Okay, we can work with that. Meet me at Carmina at 6 p.m. tonight and I’ll help you pick something out that will blow his mind.”

“You’re a lifesaver, girl. What would I do without you?”

“Well, your rent would be much higher, that’s for sure,” she says with a laugh.

We say our goodbyes and hang up, and I return to the kids. When Madeleine arrives home a few hours later, I bid farewell and hail a cab to Carmina. I pull up outside the store and see Hana and Meghan leaning outside the store, locked in a loving embrace. My heart bursts at the sight of my best friend finally finding her happily ever after. Hana notices me approaching and smiles.

“You ready to find a gown that will make this guy fall in love with you?” she asks.

“Well, I wouldn’t go that far, but I want to find something that will make him want to skip dinner altogether.” She rolls her eyes and turns to Meghan and the two share a knowing look. “Okay, Lovebirds,” I laugh. “Let’s go inside and find me a dress.”

The three of us enter the boutique and began browsing the racks. While Hana continues to search for a dress, Meghan approaches with a few draped over her arm and ushers me to an open dressing room. As I begin to disrobe, I hear her speak from the other side of the door.

“Hey, Riley? What are Hana’s parents like?”

I stop dead in my tracks. Oh shit. “Uh...they’re ...they’re interesting.”

She sighs. “You don’t have to sugar coat it for me. She told me they don’t know she’s gay. It’s just that she wants me to meet them tomorrow night and I think she wants to tell them about us. I want to know what I’m walking into.”

Half-dressed, I open the door and move toward her. “Honestly, they’re kind of overbearing. They’ve been trying to set her up with this guy for the better part of a year. She’s told them numerous times that she’s not interested, but they keep pushing this narrative that she needs to be a wife and a mother to be happy. Especially her mom. I think she’s afraid that Hana’s going to die an old maid, so she’s trying to find her a husband before it’s too late. It’s not an excuse, but I wonder if she thinks Hana isn’t capable of finding happiness on her own.”

Meghan nods. “I remember how it was for me when I came out to my family. I guess I’m just wondering how they’re going to react. I’m glad Hana has someone like you to support her.” She leans in and gives me a bone-crushing hug then walks out of the dressing room to find her girlfriend.

After trying on half a dozen dresses, I finally decide on a sexy sequined charcoal gray number with a plunging neckline. Liam is going to lose his shit when he sees me in this. And the best part; it’s on sale, so if it gets “damaged” at the end of the evening, at least I’m not out that much money.

***

It’s just before 8 p.m. Friday night when I hear a knock on my apartment door. I take a deep breath to calm my nerves and make my way to the door. He stands on the other side, looking absolutely breathtaking in a dark suit. His blue eyes sparkle as they travel the length of my body. So glad I went with this dress.

“You look beautiful,” he says in a low voice.

“So do you.”

He takes my hand in his and leads me downstairs to the limo. He opens the door for me, but stops me before I enter, pulling my hand to his mouth and kissing the back of it. I feel my cheeks heat. His eyes study me, taking in every detail of my face. Suddenly, he looks away and clears his throat while adjusting himself. “We should go. We don’t want to miss our reservation.”

I smirk and climb into the limo. He climbs in behind me, and once we’re driving, I find myself trying not to stare at him. He notices me watching him and gives me a wink as he takes my hand in his and sets it on his thigh.

Twenty agonizing minutes and one steamy make-out session later, we arrive at the restaurant. The maître d' greets Liam like they’re old friends and the hostess shows us to our table. The tables are lit by single candles and soft music fills the air. A bottle of champagne sits in a bucket next to our table. Liam grabs it and pops the cork, pouring two glasses.

“Wow...this is fancy,” I say, sipping my champagne.

“I’m glad you like it.”

I look around, noticing servers taking orders from the other tables. “Where are our menus? What’s good here?”

Liam smiles. “Actually, there are no menus to order from. Only chef-selected meals prepared by Chef Masa Takayama himself.”

I nearly spit out my champagne. Oh, gods. This is one of those restaurants. I suddenly feel extremely uncomfortable. Liam notices me shifting in my seat and reaches across the table, placing his hand on top of mine.

“Hey. It’s okay. I know this seems like a lot, but you’re important to me and I want to show you that.”

“You didn’t have to bring me to a place like this though. I’d be happy at Applebee’s.”

He fake scoffs. “Applebee’s? Only peasants eat that crap.” I roll my eyes and he brings my hand to his lips, placing a kiss on it. “I’m kidding. If you’re really that uncomfortable here, I’ll take you wherever you want to go. Just say the word.”

I smile. This man is willing to give up his exclusive reservation for me. How did I get so lucky? “No, it’s okay. We can stay here. I already got dressed up. It would be a shame for it to go to waste.”

The reflection of the candlelight dances across his face and he watches me intently as I sip my champagne. He leans in and whispers in my ear. “What do you say we order our food to go and take this back to my place?”

We stumble into the penthouse, kissing and running our hands along each other’s bodies when a voice interrupts us.

“Is this what you do when you’re supposed to be watching my kids?” I turn around to see Madeleine standing in the kitchen, a look of pure rage on her face.

Liam steps away from me and addresses her, his tone laced with anger. “What are you doing here? And where are Philip and Charlotte?”

“They’re with Rashad, and don’t worry about what I’m doing here. What are you doing? The nanny? Really, Liam?”

“At least it wasn’t with one of my co-workers. While I was still married.”

“No, just the woman entrusted to look after our children,” she sneers.

Awkwardly, I make my way toward the door. “I...I think I’m gonna go.”

“I don’t think so, bitch!” Madelene snaps. “I don’t know who you think you are, but you will not jeopardize my children’s safety for a fucking payday.”

“Excuse me? What the hell are you talking about?”

Madeleine snorts. “Don’t play dumb. It’s unbecoming.” She retrieves a magazine from her purse and slams it down with force on the coffee table. “This,” she says. Liam’s eyes go wide. I look down at the magazine and feel the color drain from my face. No, please no.

Ohmygods, this is my worst nightmare. How could this happen? I look at Liam and his face falls. “Riley? What is this?”

“What do you think it is?” Madeleine says. “She sold us out to the fucking tabloids.”

“What? No! I-I swear… I had nothing to do with this.” I turn back to Liam. He continues to stare at the magazine, his face void of any emotion. “Liam? Liam, listen to me. I don’t know how this got out, but I didn’t leak this. I swear on everything we have.”

Madeleine laughs dryly. “You expect me to believe that? You were the only person besides our families who knew about this. Don’t think I don’t know about your little obsession with these trash rags. You left one laying on the kitchen table a few weeks ago. And Mara said she buys them for you every week. What? Did you think you could just sell details of our private lives to the tabloids, and then fuck my ex-husband and everything would be cool? How much did they pay you? I hope it was worth it.”

My voice shakes. “Ma-Madeleine. I swear. I didn’t leak this.” A lone tear escapes and rolls down my cheek. “Liam, please. You have to believe me. I would never do this to you. To Philip and Charlotte. I care about them. I would never put them in danger.” He continues to stare at the magazine, not speaking or making eye contact with me.

“I want you out. Turn in your keycard. You are officially relieved of your duties.”

“Madeleine, please...”

“I don’t want to hear it. You’re fired. You’re lucky we don’t take your ass to court and sue you for publishing private facts about our family. And you are to have no contact with my children or I will have you arrested for stalking.”

Mara appears to escort me out and I sob loudly, losing all control. I retrieve my keycard from my purse and hand it to her. She frowns and places her hand on my arm, guiding me to the elevator. The ride down to the lobby is quiet except for my cries. I wonder why Liam didn’t come to my rescue. Does he actually believe that I leaked the story to the press? It’s hard to tell when he just stood there and said nothing as Madeleine ripped me a new one.

“I’m so sorry, Miss Brooks,” Mara says as she escorts me out of the lobby and into the street. She stands guard until an Uber arrives to take me home.

I get into the car and break down. The tears stream down my face as I lean my head against the glass, watching the penthouse disappear into the distance. Before tonight, I had a great job and a man that I could possibly see myself falling in love with.

Now, I have neither.

* — QUESTIONNAIRE !

01. where was your character born? what brought them to carina bay? what do they like most about the town?

drew was born in the outer banks, her family’s homestead for most of her childhood, but they did a decent amount of travelling. they were brought to carina for work, her family owning one of the beachside hotels and a spot coming open that would allow her to get hands on experience in the hotel, with her ultimate goal being able to take what she sees and use it when she’s working a more corporate position.

02. who are your character’s friends and family? who do they surround themselves with? who are the people your character is closest to?

a lot of what i have about drew’s family is Stolen. her parents are high society ala emily and richard gilmore. they’re very focused on their image and legacy and upholding both. her brother, eddie, is the family rebel and the one who’s really straying hard from the Hospitality Buisness, which makes her relationship with her parents better than it maybe could be. she surrounds herself with the Gays of the greater carina area and generally just looks for people who can take a joke and blow off steam with her.

03. what is your character’s biggest fear? who have they told this to? who would they never tell this to? why?

drew’s biggest fear is wasting her life secretly being a Pawn to what her dad’s wanted all along. she has plans to Steal his job one day, and do things her way, but until then, she’s having to play along with him a little, and she worries that she’s not fighting back hard enough. she’s probably told eddie about this just because he Gets thinking their dad is a dumbass but that’s about it bc she doesn’t go into great Detail about her Career Plans with others.

04. has your character ever been in love? had a broken heart?

probably not 2 either. she’s a casual dater. she hasn’t really had a serious relationship before mara, and i don’t know if we’ve established how Serious they are atm or at an In Love level.

05. your character is doing intense spring cleaning. what is easy for them to throw out? what is difficult for them to part with? why?

drew doesn’t have a problem getting rid of things. she likes a good deep clean and tries to do one at least a couple times a year. she has the hardest time getting rid of clothes and bags ( specifically totes bags and backpacks, her purse selection is much more Curated ).

06. it’s saturday at noon. what is your character doing? give details.

she likes spending saturday morning on the beach. she goes for a run, then sticks around for lunch with a book or her journal or something. she likes just being outside and taking it easy.

07. what is one strong memory that has stuck with your character since childhood?

she remembers a winter her family went to spend the holidays with her mother’s parents in france. it was a year where, weirdly, everyone got along, and they didn’t bog themselves down with events and appearances during christmas, and just focused on hanging out and being together. she keeps meaning to make it back to visit again.

09. what is something that upsets your character? where do they go when they’re upset?

drew’s upset by feeling like she’s being held back. she thinks she has a lot of good ideas, and doesn’t like feeling like they’re being ignored. it’s a lot of what her problem with her family is: her notes fall on deaf ears. when she’s upset, she likes to go for a walk or run, or be around people who’ll let her rant and rave for a little.

10. when your character thinks of their childhood kitchen, what smell do they associate with it? why?

coffee. she’s from a family of coffee people, and moments they’d all spend getting out the door in the morning were sometimes the extent of the Family Time they’d all have together for the day, so the smell of coffee brings back more memories of her childhood home and growing up with her family more than any food.

#( drew carter. )#( stats. )#i definitely changed thigns from how i originally pitched her but . such is life.

In ‘Booksmart,’ The Pussy Hats Come Home to Roost

Published by Wear Your Voice Magazine on June 11, 2019.

If Booksmart’s creators had left the characters of color as tokens, it would have been one thing—but those characters’ trajectories by the end of the film turns the filmmakers’ carelessness into cruelty.

If you read reviews in Jezebel, The A.V. Club, or Screen Rant, you’d think Booksmart, actress Olivia Wilde’s directorial debut, was a heartfelt coming-of-age story, an entertaining and empowering romp through a single day in the lives of a pair of teenage best friends replete with a modern sense of diversity. “Booksmart is the first truly evolved high school movie,” Glamour uproariously declared—though that evolution, upon closer inspection, only takes place for white viewers.

The film centers on a pair of Women’s March-ing best friends: the domineering Molly (played by Beanie Feldstein, the younger sister of fellow teen comedy alum, Jonah Hill) and the queer and quiet Amy, played by Beautiful Boy actress Kaitlyn Dever. Their pussy hat politics become clear via a “Warren 2020” bumper sticker and an enamel pin-clad denim coat. On its surface, Booksmart is a fun inversion of the classic “one last party” teen movie trope. Molly and Amy, both as bookish as they are strident and both attending Ivy League schools, learn after a ban on discussions of college admissions that their hard-partying classmates are set to attend universities or go on adventures just as prestigious as theirs. And thus the chubby/lesbian duo sets off to get four years of partying done in one night before they graduate high school—and in their quest, encounter and engage with a ragtag ensemble of classmates from their suburban Los Angeles high school who they’re now seeing with fresh eyes.

The portrayals of Amy and Molly fall within the tried-and-true 30 Rock and Parks and Rec formula by taking two stereotypical third-wave feminists and humanizing them, showing their weaknesses and ultimately portraying them evolving past their one-dimensional personas into nuanced, fleshed-out heroines. It’s too bad Wilde and the team behind Booksmart didn’t afford that same sensitivity to the rest of the cast. Of all the primary supporting characters of color—student government VP and jock-turned-love-interest Nick (played by Cuba Gooding Jr.’s son, Mason Gooding), Jessica Williams’ fantastic turn as the cool teacher, Ms. Fine, and Theo, a stoner-coded Latinx skater who openly pines for Williams’ character played by Eduardo Franco—only Ms. Fine never gets anything close to a thought-provoking character arc. Rather than going the route of Broad City, which attempted (and on multiple occasions failed) to incorporate sensitive and realistic characters of color that complicated rather than complimented the show’s stars, Booksmart takes after Girls by paying lip service to “diversity” via the desires of the white women with whom the audience is meant to identify.

In this film, as with Lena Dunham’s would-be magnum opus, people of color are shown for two reasons: to make the film seem more within terms of “diverse” casting in theory and to uncritically extend the storylines of the white women main characters in practice.

Take, for instance, Booksmart’s usage of Malala Yousafzai. When arguing about whether or not to go to Nick’s epic high school rager; Molly invokes the name “Malala,” an apparent get-out-of-jail-free card from a pact she has with Amy so they can attend the soirée being thrown by her oh-so-surprising crush. After arriving at said party, Amy invokes “Malala” right back, causing a massive fight that leads her to a bathroom where she has her first sexual encounter

The Malala plot device is, ironically, one of the most blatant representations of white feminist racism in recent media. White women love to put Black women and non-Black women of color like Beyoncé, Frida Kahlo, and Oprah on pedestals, going so far as to emblazon their likenesses on mugs, votive candles, t-shirts, tote bags and Women’s March signs.

As many brilliant Black women have written, white women are all too happy to “celebrate” (read: commodify) celebrities like Beyoncé and Yousafzai—but when it comes to including them in real, meaningful ways in their social circles, their activist scenes, their creative endeavors and their films and TV shows, they still can’t get it right. If Booksmart’s creators had left the characters of color as tokens, it would have been one thing—but those characters’ trajectories by the end of the film turns the filmmakers’ carelessness into cruelty.

Ms. Fine, as the girls’ naughty voice of reason, not only encourages them to party as hard as they want so they don’t end up going too hard in their 20’s like she did—she also hooks up with Theo (after confirming that he’d been held back a few grades, thus making him 20 years old). Meanwhile, after flirting heavily with Molly over a game of beer pong and appearing to almost make her “forbidden” desire for the jock-party boy come true, Nick tells our heroine to stay where she is—and is next seen making out with Ryan, Amy’s masculine skater-girl crush who (gotcha!) apparently isn’t gay after all. It’s a tidy way to lead both main characters to the people they end up with, and the differences of those two characters—one Black, one gender nonconforming—are summarily ignored after serving their purposes. Molly’s eventual main squeeze turns out to be Jared, a rich white tryhard who rents out a yacht and attempts to buy his classmates’ friendship with iPad goodie bags while wearing a heavy gold chain and a sweatshirt that reads “Fairfax,” the name of one of the main thoroughfares in LA’s Compton neighborhood.

Following in the footsteps of British films and television shows, American entertainment has finally figured out that increasingly brown and Black audiences want to see themselves represented on screen. And as with their British counterparts, movies like Booksmart forego nuanced portrayals of race relations in American schools and instead try to level the playing field by leaving conversations about race out entirely. As a result, they put forth flattened characters played by otherwise excellent actors.
