Bree on the mind.Someone like her existing in an official,published book saga is something i sometimes can't believe is actually real and none longer a fantasy.She's the protagonist of her series,that alone is groundbreaking,but the parts that really do it are the sums of her.Stereotypical YA novel series mc is an archetype almost exclusively reserved for white characters and the treatment of the black fems in most literary runs(fullstop really,not just in YA)is nothing short of downright revolving to anybody who dosen't hate us irl to a measurement high enough it jumps out as a 'defense mechanism' according to oh so coincidentally and not at all a pattern reflective of and causes by irl systematic oppression and enforced biases and lines of thinking universally misogynoirist fandoms

She fills out all the boxes-Name short for a nickname treated as her 'true' name and her full name is only busted out by villains as signs they aren't friendly company,story kicks off with a soon to be revealed caused by her magic ancestry she didn't know about yet mystery and the foreshadowing to her being nonhuman is misfit status brought by a mix of mythological circumstances and accidentally autistic/audhd-coding,she's super rebellious except for good reasons i.e helping others and combating oppressive hierarchies(and it needs to be said,unlike a disturbingly long list of certain protags,she includes irl oppression in that even if it isn't the direct focus point of her stories and isn't all that too keen on shitting and mistreating on minorities for a so called 'hero'),her sense of humor is quippy and snarky and out of pocket and dorky and just plain weird on a regular basis and proves herself an expert at landing a joke no matter what it is,she's The Chosen Hero and The Hero Of Legend and Who The Prophecy Kickstarting Our Adventurers Spoke Of Gallantly,she's a geek who runs on endless fleek,she leans into ordinary experiences gendered and neutral as is natural and as we're told subliminally necessary aspect of hers to keep her who she is and she's in the middle of a love triangle between two conventionally attractive men who land on opposite spectrums of healthy masculinity and risk practically tearing eachother apart over her

Everything else is equally important to what a good character Bree is but that last touch is the strawberry on top of a deluxe milkshake.Bree gets to not just be King Arthur Pendragon-and there are zero jokes shot at her femininity and womanhood even slightly!-but a sought after beautiful,soft,vulnerable,human despite her closeness to genuine invincibility,girlish princess.Her desirability isn't brought to question and Nick and Sel might as well have written a saga of odes to her themselves with how down catastrophic and hopelessly hopeful they are in their feelings love for her.They love her,romantically,BECAUSE she's a black girl who's in-tune with her culture and her black woman features are the literally peakdom of prettiness to them.How often do we get that?'We' both as in 'general audiences' and 'black women'.Black fem characters at love interest position are depicted as pity picks,and usually aren't even the endgame as seen through 'disposable black girlfriend',and rentlessly mocked on their blackness being tied to their girlhood as blackness is viewed as inherently 'removing' female gender from any equation

Bree means so much to me.She's defined as a black girl protagonist who isn't reduced down to diversity points.Legendborn wouldn't be Legendborn if it didn't star an african-american girl in modern America raised as that and didn't shy away from the downs and lows of that lived experience.I am not AA specifically(afro-dominiciana and stayed in my homecountry minus that little bit where i was born in New York due to my parents' traveling)but i still see a lot of myself in her and it brings me so much genuine and pure joy seeing other black women who're Legendborn fans and AA because they relate to her and are represented by her even more than i am.Bree Matthews is a legit and objective legend and she did 'Katniss Everdeen/Percy Jackson variant' a million times more accurately than Booktok and whitewashed crossovers dares to try.Everyone get Legendborn,Bloodmarked AND Oathbound e-books,pdfs,library copies or bookstore bought NOW❗❗❗and behold her like you haven't beholded before.Y'all love your tortured but cutesy white streak characters,don't y'all?

There are three kinds of LGBT headcanons:

Actual queer coding / metaphors ("Nimona is trans because her creator made her as a way to express his feelings as a trans person")

Vibes ("Link is genderless because I said so")

It's funny ("Phoenix Wright is asexual because he's the Ace Attorney")

Penric just casually being bisexual is like my favorite thing ever

#penric's demon #penric and desdemona #Louis McMaster bujold

unfavorableinstigation

Penric's Demon so far very fun. Really liking the idea of personhood-by-committee here - it pre-empts any possible argument that a demon is not a person, because what are any of us but a collection of the people who've influenced us?

Also very refreshing to have a protagonist whose first instinct with a demon is to assume you can probably cooperate and find out what their name is. This would also be my first thought.

Right now I'm loving the idea of Learned Penric, i.e. Penric-as-a-Divine. Because we all know that he's not a proper divine. He only got ordained because he needed to do so to keep Desdemona. He had no idea what he was going to do with his life (although he would have loved to be a scholar). Him being a senior sorcerer is just a convenient trick to let him do what he wants (play with his translations). He's lucky that scholar-divine is a role that exists, so he can get away with just playing around with translations and trying to figure out the nature of demons and all that jazz, and every time we see him forced into the role of an actual divine (like when he's asked to bless a meal) it's jarring.

Except...

The reason he took his irregular oath was compassion. He saw personhood where no one else did and didn't even bother to ask "is anyone going to take care of her?", he just went straight to the top and said "ok, I'm going to throw anything and everything away because this person needs my help". He stops in the middle of a sea battle and takes the time (time that he could have used to put a hole in the pirates' ship to get them off his for all I know) to make sure that a young Roknari isn't sundered. This man isn't a wanna-be scholar who got stuck having to do pastoral care as a divine. He's a shoulda-been pastor who Someone made sure was put in a place where he could do that job.

TEN YEARS OF LEMONADE (April 23rd, 2016)🍋

At its core, Lemonade explores themes of betrayal, healing, resilience, and Black womanhood. The album is widely interpreted as a journey through the emotional aftermath of infidelity in a relationship, often believed to reference Beyoncé’s marriage. However, it expands beyond personal pain into a broader reflection on generational trauma, identity, and empowerment. Through different musical styles, ranging from R&B and rock to country and hip-hop, Beyoncé tells a story that moves from anger and suspicion to reconciliation and self-acceptance. The accompanying film adds layers of symbolism, drawing on African American history, Southern culture, and feminist thought.

Lemonade was both a critical and commercial success. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and made history by having all of its tracks chart simultaneously. Critics praised it as one of the most innovative albums of its time, and it has since been included in numerous “greatest albums of all time” lists. Culturally, the album had a profound impact. It sparked widespread conversations about race, feminism, and Black identity, especially in the United States. Its visual imagery, such as references to historical Black experiences and the inclusion of mothers of victims of police violence, gave it strong political weight. It also influenced how artists approach album releases, popularizing the idea of the “visual album” as a cohesive storytelling format. Beyond music, Lemonade became a symbol of empowerment and artistic control, reinforcing Beyoncé’s role not just as a performer but as a cultural leader shaping discussions far beyond the entertainment industry.

“Sinners” turns ONE-YEAR-OLD today! Originally released on April 18th, 2025 and wow what a year it’s been for this incredible movie! I did a slight update on my original print. Tons of people asked where Bo Chang was (he was warming up the car) so I added him to the party. I also added in the great Buddy Guy and the modern version of Stack and Mary! Okay, now I gotta go watch it again!!! Happy 1st Birthday to all you “Sinners”! @michaelbjordan @_milescaton_ @wunmimosaku @omarbensonmiller @lijunli @therealbuddyguy @sinnersmovie #sinners #michaelbjordan #sinnersmovie #sinnersfanart #oscars
