5 Celebrity Crushes tag game!

I was challenged by @aless3g to list my 5 celebrity crushes. Which like @aless3g did, I will be telling more of why they inspire me, than why they are my "crushes".

1. Jensen Ackles

So first off, the obvious(to me), he is a beautiful human being with fan-fiction green eyes, but that is not what makes me love him so much. Jensen is an Amazing actor, weather its happiness, sadness, or showing no emotion, he has it down. He can sing like a fucking angel, I mean his voice is beautiful, but the #1 I love about him, is that he knows how to face his fears. He learned to show his talent, to come into the light. At one time he was a small insecure human being, but he crawled his way out of that hole and into the dark, and if HE CAN DO IT, so can I. I will always love this man for showing me that.

2. Misha Collins

Now I know, it seems to me like everyone loves Misha, but doesn't that already show you how wonderful of a person he is? I mean look at him, this man who started as a practically homeless child, his family had almost nothing, but he grew to be a kind and generous human, who now has a non-profit organization called Random Acts, a scavenger hunt called GISHWHES. And is a star on a growing tv show! This man has accomplished it all, but he doesn't flaunt in all of this no, he gives it away to his fans, to those in need. I mean really what else do I need to say, this man is amazing, and I love him!

3. Chris Pratt

He plays in Guardians of the Galaxy, and Jurassic Park, but I will always know this legend from Parks and Rec. Half his lines in that show were improvised! He is a hilarious, and amazing actor.

And I know some people might not think this is that big of a deal, but He lost 60 pounds in just 6 months. I don't know about you, but I find that as super inspiring! ❤

4. Chris Evans

First off I think this gif is super awesome, but his athletic abilities are not actually the reason I love this man. He is a fucking teddy bear. He loves. I personally love that about people. He loves everyone around him, and he's not afraid to show it. He is also one of the kindest actors I know. He's not one to start drama, or anger others.

And another thing is he has a pet dog, that he adores more thsn life itself, its his best-friend, and I think that's awesome.

5. J.K. Rowling

I couldn't really find a gif of her, but I think that's ok, because when you read a book you don't see an authors face, you see there mind, and how beautiful her mind is. I love the harry potter books, and the fantastic beast books, and everything she writes. I aspire to be an author, and I aspire to be like J.K. Rowling. While reading her books, I feel empowered to do something great, and if there is anything in the world I want to do more, its write a book that empowers others to make the world a better place. This woman, is not my crush, but one of my role-models.

In fact I'd like to say that these 5, and many more are not my crushes, but my role-models. I want to be as brave, as empowering, as kind, as generous, as light-hearted as these people. I look up at them, and I do not reach for the sky, I reach for the stars.

Thankyou, for reading. I don't actually have many friends on here, so I will tag who I can. And thankyou @aless3g because I loved every second of this!

I tag @asphyyyy @game-concept-art @marauders4evr

5 Celebrity Crushes tag game!

I was horridly challenged this by @anotheruserwithnoname to list my 5 celebrity crushes.

I say horridly, because I find talking about crushes difficult (in a squealy, fun kind of way) because my sexuality is a bit wibbly-wobbly in that I identify as asexual and so despite wanting more than anything to know them saying I have a ‘crush’ sounds kinda weird to me.

So if anything, I’ve turned this into the ‘5 Celebrity Platonic Friendship game’ which has less of a ring to it.

DISCLAIMER - no GIFs are mine, all are found elsewhere. Language may well appear below. Also, I wrote this January 2018. Come back 6 month’s later and the list’ll have all shuffled. Enjoy!

On with the list!

No 1. - Martin Freeman

Although I have admired Martin in many roles, the first thing that comes to mind is the unmistakeable ‘Tim face’ from his days in The Office (the UK one obviously, Google it if you don’t know what I mean). He has branched over comedy and drama, and more recently combining the two together, and has played some of my favourite characters from Dr Watson to Bilbo Baggins. Also, bonus points for sticking up for the short people ;p

No. 2 - Hugh Laurie

Honestly, Hugh Laurie could be here entirely due to House M.D. House was the first program I serial watched and so ignited my love for fictional TV series and the fandoms they give rise to. His sarcasm, ability to do the unthinkable (both in saving lives and the more random moments) made me admire this character so much, despite his many apparent downfalls. Adding to this his aspirational relationship with Stephen Fry, and the ability of the pair to make me cry with laughter, from Jeeves & Wooster to A Bit Of Fry & Laurie solidifies his place on the list (plus, he’s just a legend!).

No. 3 - Oscar Isaac

(LINE OF SILENCE FOR GIF APPRECIATION)

-

Now, Oscar Isaac is relatively knew to my ‘Actors I follow the life work and general life of for the rest of my days’ list, following The Last Jedi. I had seen him previously, (only X-Men Apocalypse and The Force Awakens to be truthful) but he was heavily prosthetic-ed and rather blue in Apocalypse and Finn & Rey I felt were more centre stage in TFA. TLJ on the other hand really made me aware of his acting ability - I noticed how in my opinion he is exceptionally good at showing tiny but powerful emotion, or displaying hidden emotion (if you get my gist). Plus, he [Poe] I feel has a larger arc, becoming a better character by the end of the film and stealing the show a little with the near-the-end BB-8 scene (you know what I mean).

No. 4 - Misha Collins

… No.s 4 & 5 are difficult for me to write in the sense of knowing which one to end on, because they have impacted on me so much. I recognise that I have come SEVERELY late to the Supernatural fandom (kudos to you that have spent years on/in/with this behemoth), but one of the things that brought me to it was Misha. He is unique in that fame and success has not let him forget where he came from. Everyday I see a new campaign, or a new statement of success, my heart swells in admiration for this man. Random Acts has been going for like 11, 12 years now, and everything it has achieved has changed lives. GISHWHES brought so many people together for the time of their life while achieving so much good. And the t-shirt campaigns (which many other actors also run, I know) fill me with such hope. Even just the positivity he spreads on Twitter reminds me there is stil humanity in this world, and sometimes that’s all I need. And I haven’t even yet mentioned Castiel, who is just… *makes incoherent chuckle/crying noise*. ‘Nuff said.

No. 5 - Peter Capaldi

Ahh, Peter. Seemed apt to end here, after Twelve’s end and, despite the internal turmoil and external scoffing this statement may cause, my favourite Doctor’s era. I had not ‘religiously’, as the saying goes, watched Doctor Who when rebooted in 2005. I catched the odd episode and my Dad was a fan, so I was familiar with and enjoyed the program. But when Matt Smith came to the role, retrospectively mainly because this was my father’s opinion, I chose to watch no further thinking they had lost who The Doctor was and were just looking for a ‘Pretty Boy’ for the audience (I must now declare I have now seen Matt’s time as The Doctor, and although not my favourite, he is excellent). When Peter was announced as 12 I was thrilled; although perhaps too young I had already seen and loved The Thick Of It and could not wait for the same dry humour to come to Doctor Who. From Series 8 onwards I have watched Doctor Who and loved it, Peter’s portrayal of issues such as losing faith in oneself and not knowing when the struggle will end coming to me at a time where I was struggling with emotional demons and the hardest period of my life to date. Adding to this that he was a fan-turned-Doctor and knows the power of the Doctor Who community (and I know he’s not the only one - David Tennant among others are still using the Doctor Who legacy for good), and I want nothing more than thank Peter personally for all that he gave me during his time as The Doctor. I will never forget him.

… Woo, that was more like an appreciation post in the end. If you’re reading this, congratulations for getting to the bottom of my essay :3

I also wanted to add a sneaky Joint No. 6 for Tom Hardy & Iain de Caestecker, who I love in everything they’re in.

Other notable mentions go to the late great Anton Yelchin & Carie Fisher, plus David Tennant, James McAvoy and Chris Pratt

Thanks again to @anotheruserwithnoname for making me lose an hour of my life ;), and I shall nominate @mary-e-wilson, @mcavoy and @nerds-are-cool to do the same (you don’t actually have to do the same and write a dissertation like this, but ya know).

We regret to report that after a valiant battle with cancer, our dear friend, Dancescape founder Fiona Sargeant, has passed away. As gishers will no doubt remember, Fiona spent her life helping young dancers’ dreams come true through her work at Dancescape ballet school in South Africa. We’re glad that gishers could help in some small way to preserve her legacy, and we send our deepest condolences to her family and friends.

Yes!

[mary-e-wilson-blog]

You know how in supernatural, Meg calls Castiel, "Clarence", because Cas showed her the Meaning to life. Right? And we also know Cad is really old, but he didn't actually care about anything or anyone. UNTIL DEAN. so as I'm thinking about this, really Dean is Castiel's "Clarence".

Gravity

I’ve been thinking about “strong”. “Fierce”. Those words.

I picture an indomitable force. Facing into the wind or screaming into war like a Fury. I picture unbowed and unbroken.

I’m mostly not that. But YOU have shown me… that’s only one strength.

I rather think Wayward Strong is what happens after gravity wins. When we are pressed into the ground, the air knocked from our lungs, and we take another breath. Then another.

Wayward Strong is seeing a fellow falling to gravity and grabbing on, refusing to let inertia win. Love is greater than laws of physics.

You’ve taught me this. When I’ve been at my weakest, and many of you have seen me at the lowest points of my life, you’ve told me strength doesn’t look like not falling. It looks like just being willing to get back up again. Just being WILLING to resist gravity. Even if I can’t yet, my desire is enough to qualify.

Wherever you are in your rise today, I am grateful you are a part of my lesson. You give me strength. Thank you.
