Name: Chantelle

Nicknames: I am called Chant by my two roommates but this is not a nickname used by anyone else.

Zodiac Sign: Leo

Height: 5ft.

Last thing I googled: Guardian’s of the Galaxy 2 Awesome Mix Two

Favourite Music Artist: ummm wow…. Help…. I can’t pick so I’m goanna pick several. Okay so. Florence and the Machine, Lana Del Rey, The Weeknd, Greenday, ummmm Childish Gambino

Song stuck in head right now: Brandy you're a Fine Girl - Looking Glass (someone just watched Guardian’s of the Galaxy 2)

Last Movie Watched: Guardian’s of the Galaxy 2

What am I wearing right now: Black tank top, black jeans, fuzzy socks.  

Why did I choose my url: I really was into Florence and the Machine in my high school years. I really connected to the song Landscape in particular. I was going through some pretty bad depression when I first heard it, connected to a lot if unresolved trauma from my childhood due to abuse. Here are some of the lines:  

She can't see the landscape anymore/ It's all painted in her grief/ All of her history etched out at her feet Now all of the landscape/ it's just an empty place/ Acres of longing, mountains of tenderness/

Cause she's just like the weather, can't hold her together/ Born from dark water, daughter of the rain and snow/ Cause it's burning through the bloodline/ it's cutting down the family tree/ Growing in the landscape, darling, in between you and me

She wants the silence but fears the solitude/ She wants to be alone and together with you/ So she ran to the lighthouse, hoped that it would help her see/ She saw that the lighthouse had been washed out to sea

It just really meant a lot to me at that time in my life.

Do I have any other blogs: no.

What did my last relationship teach me: Never been in a romantic one. I had a “thing” with a guy when I was 15 with my 17 year old friend. We really just made out (he tried to push for more).  It taught me to actually listen to myself, like if I am not okay with something I can say no. Years later I would look back an realize that I was pushing myself into a relationship in order to feel normal. I am ace but didn’t know that back them, so I felt like something had to be wrong with me. I pushed myself into this thing to “correct” that. So now when I find a person that I feel a connection with (if that happens) I’ll listen to my gut and wont try to force myself into things I don’t want to do.

Religious or Spiritual: neither.

Favourite Colour: Black…. Yes I know it is a shade, fight me.  

Average hours of sleep: who’s sleep? Never heard of her. Um like probably 6ish

Favourite characters: The entire cast of Brooklyn 99, Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dizzy from The Get Down, Jason Todd aka Red Hood aka Robin from DC Comics/Batman, Death from the Sandman comics and Jughead from Archie also know as my aroace son  

How many blankets do you sleep with: two

Dream job: HA A JOB in this Economy!!!

Okay this is a rant about Dc’s new animated movie The Killing Joke. So spoilers I guess.

So... I was looking forward to watching DC's The Killing Joke. It is a flawed text but a product of its time. I was wondering how they would handle the sexist material and what they would update. When I actually saw it and the messed up stuff involving Batgirl that they ADDED I have to stop and shake my head. Her character is already victimised and sexually assaulted in the original text in order to give man-pain to Batman and her father, she is essentially in the story for that purpose alone (the women in refrigerator’s trope). So when I saw the length of the movie I thought, “good” they can flesh her out and make her pain actually about her! But no the content they added only made everything worse!!! Now she is a jilted romantic interest, who only gets into crime fighting to bang Batman (her father figure in the comics) this takes away from Barbra's strength and love of justice and just about everything about her and in fact adds nothing of substance to the story. And it still doesn’t make her assault about her. No it adds to Batman’s pain because instead his daughter/apprentice getting assaulted by his greatest enemy, it’s a woman he had sex with. DUN DUN DUN, wow what an amazing addition to the story…. Such emotional weight, audience have never seen that before (I am referring to Joker’s rape of Catwoman in The Dark Knight Returns, She is also in that story to be assaulted and nothing else).

Instead of adding additional content to the beginning of the movie that makes her "too emotional" and "unfit to be a superhero" so that when she gets paralyzed at the end its her fault for not being a good enough hero, maybe the creators should have added more to the end about her becoming Oracle and learning how to move forward and still kick ass with her disability and trauma. Content about her putting together and leading a group of women crime fighters. How she because irreplaceable to the Batfamily because of her tech skills. JUST…. you could have done so many things to make this misogynistic story better but no. no. It was just a wasted opportunity

Oh and when the creator of the film was called out on the "addition" he called the person doing it a pussy, so yeah.... I see your misogyny.
