So it occurs to me as I put this together than in the past 3 days I have posted 3 times directly in response to shows about a female hero.  This is nice because it wasn’t an option at this time last year but really it’s more nice because things could not be more radically different than Supergirl and Jessica Jones.  If I am being honest Jessica Jones is a better show.  It’s a better show essentially because it can be, it can explore themes that Supergirl cannot because of what each show is meant to be.  That is fantastic.  Everything should not be the same and that applies to comic book media as well.  There can be something for everyone.  More importantly it applies to female characters, I saw a wonderful post the other day talking about it.  Jessica Jones and Kara Zor-El are nothing alike.  Not at all.  It is so nice we have moved past the tokenism of the “strong female character” and moved towards the idea of female characters.  I think it can be hard to grasp that representation is not one person who shares one trait with you (gender, race, sexuality, whatever) when you yourself have no such issues finding so many people who share one trait with you.  I guess what i am saying is if you’re a straight white guy you don’t immediately associate with every straight white guy on TV because he’s just like you.  That would be nuts.  No instead you have a whole swath of straight white dudes and you can choose the ones who really seem like you.  And that is what representation really is.  So two characters aren’t enough but it sure is a whole lot more when they aren’t just the same thing.  And it’s ok if one is not for you, my friends @thunderstormofoblivion in a strange bout of desire to be wrong thinks Supergirl is cheesy.  That’s of course just silly.  And wrong.  Supergirl is wonderful, she is hopeful, she is earnest, she is good.  These are amazing things and they make me smile.  Melissa Benoist is just wonderful in the role.  And go find that picture of her carrying a puppy and walking with the most excited girl scouts you have ever seen and tell me cheesy isn’t kind of wonderful.  Today I want to fuck Melissa Benoist.

The America Music Awards were last night and on the scale of prestige they aren’t very high but they tend to score well on the scale of who shows up on the red carpet.  So I was looking forward to that and the first person I saw pictures of was Demi Lovato and I knew immediately Demi Lovato had won.  I just saw her face and it was over.  The dress is nice, it’s fine.  Turns out it wouldn’t have mattered what she wore because I only needed to see the neck up.  Her hair was awesome.  And her face?  Her face game was unreal.  She looked beautiful.  I don’t have any other thing I can say to elaborate more than that, I was taken aback by just how amazing she looked.  So she’s here, she’s the winner, event over.  Today I want to fuck Demi Lovato.

Today’s post really is about a surplus of things to talk about.  I am watching Jessica Jones.  Like right this second, I paused it so I could type this.  I want to talk about the show but I don’t want to spoil anything.  I am liking it more and more as time goes on and there is a lot here to unpack about the nature of abusive relationships and the reality of them that is often over looked.  The fact that David Tennant is charming and can seem reasonable or even right for a moment is a real asset to the show and it’s really nice that the show shows just how charming an abuser can be and how powerful their hold can be.  But I can’t go further than that cause spoilers suck.  What I will say instead is Patsy Walker is one of my favorite things about comics.  Not the character as much as the idea of the character.  She is something that can only exist in comics, nowhere else would you see this.  I assume everyone knows Archie comics and more specifically Betty and Veronica.  Well, if you don’t know Patsy Walker it’s ok because what she started off as was a character in bunch of comics that were meant o compete with Archie.  She was in a book called Hedy and Patsy, the Betty and Veronica of Marvel.  She was very popular.  Like she starred in a comic for 27 years straight popular.  Anyway, I won’t go into too much detail but the Betty of the Marvel Universe graduated from high school and her comic became a career girl romance comic and then eventually she became a Superhero named Hellcat, married the son of Satan, got divorced, died, came back, has some demonic powers sorta.  And that is why the character is amazing.  So it’s why Rachael Taylor is here because the second I figured out she’s Patsy Walker I knew I was going to post her.  It just was surprisingly hard to find decent pictures of her.  Strange given I have seen her in lots of movies and stuff.  Anyway, comics, Jessica Jones, yadda yadda yadda.  Today I want to fuck Rachael Taylor.  

I have known for a while this post was probably going to happen today.  I mean, Jessica Jones was going to be coming out and there was a really good chance I would watch at least some of it day one.  Now, I have never been attracted to Jessica Jones as a character and I still am not.  She is a fascinating character but it isn’t like with Peggy Carter or something where a lot of the attraction is the character.  I happen to find Krysten Ritter attractive and so I knew seeing her would land her here.  Especially if the show is good.  I am liking the show so far, it’s such a big departure for Marvel though.  Like radically different than anything else they’ve done, which is a good thing because Alias wasn’t really much like other Marvel comics when it came out.  Anyway, I dig it and Krysten Ritter is really pretty.  And she’s doing a good job.  So today I want to fuck Krysten Ritter.

Here is Anastasia Scheglova who I know next to nothing about which will disappoint @wildflagsure because I have her convinced I know everything about everyone.  This is not my fault though, it seems like no one knows about Anastasia Scheglova.  I know who she is because @she-goes-to-eleven has reblogged her enough that I noticed her.  At first I was like, that girl is pretty who is she.  Then I noticed more and more of her and did some digging and there is nothing out there.  But since I first noticed her she’s showing up everywhere. Now some people would say this is a cognitive bias called the “frequency illusion” (or the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon if you must) but those people are nerds because they use phrases like “cognitive bias”.  No, there is something else going on here.  See, the way I know about people is I have always had a passion for research, ever since I was a kid.  I like knowing things and I like learning.  So I know all about this because even as a child I was dedicated to research.  When the Price Club opened up near my Dad’s house it was the first big warehouse club store I had ever heard of and it was amazing.  There I convinced my dad to buy this huge pack of James Bond movies and I researched the fuck out of those on Summer nights that year.  It’s why I know what it means when a Russian Woman of Mystery suddenly shows up looking this good.  She’s a spy.  This whole thing is a giant Soviet plot.  I mean, she was in some version of Vogue, or at least the website but she appears to have no agency representation?  Clearly the KGB set this up.  Now, some of you might be saying, “But there is no Soviet Union anymore”.  I would say the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.  So as an expert I know the only way to deal with a Russian spy is to seduce her and so I am willing to take that bullet for the Free World.  I know, some of you are going, “So you’re James Bond in this delusion?” Well yeah, it’s my delusion. Look, the most important lesson for you to learn here is not that the Soviet Union is up to some sort of red shenanigans again, I’ve got that shit covered, I’ll save us, no the most important thing is this, never trust someone who disappoints themselves in their own fantasies.  If someone fantasizes about being Moneypenny or Q or something don’t trust that person, that is a person who isn’t even the hero in his own mind and that person will turn on you one day for not hating them as much as you hate yourself.  So remember that, I’ll take care of the spy shit.  Today I want to fuck Anastasia Scheglova.

So some movie is coming out really soon, it must be some out there indie drama because I have never heard of it, called The Hunger Games something or other.  I guess they made a few others first.  You probably haven’t heard about it.  Here is super obscure actress Jennifer Lawrence who is the star of this underground film.  I guess you might have seen her a place or two before but don’t feel bad if you’ve never heard of her, as I said before, she’s super obscure.  Anyway, she looked really good at the New York premier.  Well, she’s looked good all week but the black dress and dark lipstick was kind of a new look for her and I kind of dug it.  This was a tough choice today because Natalie Dormer also looked pretty good but I guess for now Jennifer Lawrence wins out.  Either wway I guess I was going to make my stupid Hunger Games joke.  Today I want to fuck Jennifer Lawrence.

Here is Mary Elizabeth Winstead because Mary Elizabeth Winstead is beautiful.  She was at another event last night and she was gorgeous.  This is on account of her being gorgeous in general.  I don’t have a lot more to say right now other than that, my love for her is so well documented at this point, I am just excited she has shown up in pictures so much lately.  Today I want to fuck Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

So Brit Morgan is actually someone I almost posted in October.  She was in a horror movie and I thought about it but… the movie was so bad by the end I was like… angry with her.  So she didn’t get posted.  I have never seen True Blood but I have seen her in a bunch of things, including the Middelman which is a show I adored.  She feels like someone I have always known existed while not knowing a lot about her but that might just because Hollywood has a lot of blonde Brittanys who kinda look alike.  She was on Supergirl last night as Livewire.  Livewire isn’t a villain I have a lot of connection to, she was created for Superman’s animated series and always felt a little like they were trying to recapture the magic of Harley Quinn by having the sexy, spunky villain created for the show.  I am glad she’s going to be a Supergirl villain though because it fits more.  A shock jock criticizing Superman doesn’t quite work because Superman is beloved.  Magically though, the woman with all the same powers is generally criticized and held under much greater scrutiny.  So that part just works a little better (so did attacking Supergirl for her sexuality, body, fashion choices and so on).  I mean, the might have rushed it a little but you didn’t come here for that.  She’s basically here because I thought she looked really good as Liverwirer and villains are hot.  It’s just how it tends to work.  Look, I am an adult and am past the phase in my life where I am so in love with bad ideas that I would consider the villain overall more appealing than the hero but… evil can still be kind of hot.  Well, comic book evil.  So you know… crazy hair color change, super powers, a little sinister… I liked it.  Today I want to fuck Brit Morgan.

Here is Ellie Rowsell because I could have posted lots of people today but musicians are hot.  Also, I have a friend who has been doing what she can to try and influence this pick.  Now, I have posted Ellie before and I quite like Wolf Alice but the issue with anyone who isn’t mega famous is that they face an uphill battle when it comes to appearing here.  As much as I might like the band and the music, if I am not actively listening to it I basically am not thinking about it.  And the internet is full of pictures of other people.  So I have a friend who has been working overtime reblogging pictures of Ellie and messaging me about Ellie and, ok, you win.  Here is Ellie Rowsell who is pretty but more so is hot because she rocks.  So today I want to fuck Ellie Rowsell.
