‘Delicately’ is one I hadn’t thought of —it might work well for some of the stickier situations! And the French is so wonderful, and I’m glad you shared because I would have just translated that to ‘sweetly’ and it sounds like that’s not quite the contextual meaning. Thank you!!

(There are high schools starting to perform it as well, and Miranda has made it really clear that he believes casting in those should also focus on non-white actors. That’s a force for change in itself.)

@thedoctor-smith true to character Lexa herself would never ever put her name on that. But depending on the depths of their relationship I can see Clarke standing her ground that people need at least one good leader to guide them, and Lexa is the one cause she is a good leader. And I can totally see Lexa like that, insisting that Clarke is as good leader too and that people also need her (because her people would also be in that list) -- even because that's totally what happens in the scene on horseback before they find the massacre. So yeah I can see her saying this, that her name wouldn't go without Clarke's

Oh, the discussion of money, cons/events, and who can afford to enter those spaces is extremely important and I would have to make more than just one post about that. lol

She's also 'Commander of the Little Death' - both Niylah *and* Lexa needed a nap after doing the do with Clarke. So perhaps Wanheda was subject to a Trigedasleng/English mistranslation...

Ooft. I know. I've always taken issue with the stupidly compressed timelines within The Flopdred. And, yeah, it doesn't exactly make a positive case for bisexual representation that everyone Clarke gets involved with romantically or sexually winds up dead or brutally assaulted... You'd think future prospective love interests would give Clarke a wide berth, given her track record. Maybe the lure of the Good Earth Cleavage overrides survival instincts.

Once upon a time I would have agreed with you I've come to realize the winters back home are practically fucking TROPICAL compared to where I moved to. There's a fucking white walker outside my house the now and even he looks a wee bit nippy

That's a point I hadn't considered, in fairness, so apologies for that. I suppose, ultimately, if there were any fan questions actors felt particularly uncomfortable answering, they would probably be evasive or deflect it anyway. I imagine it's a skill they hone at cons!
