I COULD WRITE NOVELS ABOUT THESE GIFS. JUDITH IS LIKE THIS FOR NO ONE ELSE. DEBBIE IS LIKE THIS FOR NO ONE ELSE. THEY ARE DRESSED IN COMPLIMENTARY FLORALS. THEIR HAIR HAS THOSE SAME WAVES. THE GREENERY IN THE BACKGROUND MATCHES THEIR CLOTHING BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH PERFECTLY IN THEIR ELEMENT. JUDITH LEANING IN WHEN SHE LAUGHS. DEBBIE'S EYELASH FLUTTERS. THAT SINGLE PINK ROSE BETWEEN THEM. THEY ARE IN THE PERFECT SUNSHINE OF THIS MOMENT AND EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL.

Omg Ride or Die was brilliant!

I thought it was gonna be some cheesy chick flick, a female version of those cheesy buddy cop shows (think Kevin Hart and the Rock or something) - B grade and good for some laughs. (I actually didn't know at first it was gonna be a series. I was just looking for some easy laughs!!)

But omg. It did start off like that initially, but became something so beautiful and heartfelt, exciting, tragic, and so, so heartwarming.

These two brilliant women, finding who they really are and finding each other as they truly can be - blossoming as people in their middle age. Both Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham acted SO WELL.

And all this in the midst of a really good assassin plot!!! The villain was truly someone to be contended with - complex, skilled and very obsessively poisonous! The stakes were truly high. Some deaths were as cruel as they were understated, to drive home the impact of them. And even the side characters could have had pretty dramatic tales spun off of their side quests. (I hope we get to see Queenie's personal mission play out in S2!!)

I cried a few times - because the friendship between Judith and Debbie was written to be so real and sincere (despite the very wild circumstances), and because both women were written like real human beings. They cry, they laugh, they bleed, they feel, they try. Both of them with their very different lives, still were able to stand with each other as equals. And Judith's character, being so, so alone - and so, so effed up by the attachments she grew with... That also really got me. This friendship was beautiful to watch (amidst again, all the wild circumstances!).

This was no "buddy cop" show. It was a fake pass in the first few eps that led to something truly epic and deep.

I have no idea how they may surpass this season in season 2, because it looks like John Wick's world now... But with two wonderful women characters who have matured into their genuine selves?

Hell yeah, sign me up!!

i think the key difference between george lucas’s star wars and disney’s star wars is that lucas is a man with an ideology. someone with a point of view, and all that entails. which comes with ideas of revolution, anti-imperialism, challenging the status quo, cultural appropriation and racist stereotypes. complex and contradictory ideas because that’s how artists are: complex and complicated people. disney is not. disney is a corporation. a corporation can’t have ideology, because ideology defeats the purpose of profit. and when the only thing you do is to turn on the movie manufacturing machine before you sit down and plan what ideas are you trying to convey to the audience, then your results are going to be washed out corporate garbage. and because when you’re a giant corporation who only cares about selling to the widest audience possible, you can’t take sides. you can’t decide on an idea. because you want to sell your product to people who are on the entire political spectrum. which results in movies without ideology, without purpose, without soul.

I have been looking for this post for years after I came across it and it’s finally here and I need to reblog this because it is absolutely and entirely accurate.

#as I always say: lucas was making a samurai film and a ww2 flying ace film and a western film and adding laser swords#because he fundamentally LIKED samurai films and dambusters films and westerns and 40’s adventure serials#but disney are making a ‘star wars film’ and adding nothing because it already had laser swords and they have nothing else to say#xerox of a xerox baybeeeee (via harrietvane)

moodboard • long distance train barantos au

trinity (23) is on a gap year still reeling from the loss of her best friend. baran (34) has physically returned from Kabul but left so many parts of herself there that even breathing feels difficult. they're both on a 4 day, 4 night trip from toronto to vancouver. how big of a difference can 96 hours really make?

trinity made a no phones resolution and brought her dad's old tape player, a set of ten tapes, and three books to read

baran brought five books, her kindle, and a thousand yard stare

they first see each other two hours into the trip, trading quiet looks back and forth before trinity finally summons the courage an hour later to talk to her

"hi."

"hi."

"do you want some company?"

"yours? yes."

they sit across from each other, trinity biting back a shy smile and baran feeling something for the first time in a long time

the next five hours are a mix of settled silences, casual questions, and laughs that feel more intimate than they should with a stranger on the other side of them

something something, this is a slow exploration of grief, of tears shed and hands held, of how sometimes a person sharing your grief makes it bearable even if it never disappears

featuring, baran reading to trinity for hours; cuddles; and shared, wired earphones as the scenery flashes by

the pitt wnba au • team name: pittsburgh cannons

inspired by this clip of cheryl miller dancing at the 1997 phoenix mercury game which is obviously parker celebrating their championship win after 10 years of losing seasons, a 4-26 record last season, and an entire season of being the underdogs.

the team is tiny but mighty (santos has to be pulled away from a fight every other game. (honestly the lack of tall women on the show made slotting folks into positions that match their personalities rough))

baran: coach

dana: assisstant coach

starting team

parker: sg trinity: sf yolanda: pf cassie: pg samira: center

pt/medics: victoria and mel

announcers: princess and perlah

favorite team journalists and on court interviewers: heather and emma

videographer: joy

---

trinity loves getting away with the joke that they have balls of steel on live tv

parker aids and abets the joke by gifting everyone aluminum or plush versions of those rearview mirror hangers. she bought one of each for everyone to make sure she had enough so she has hella left over. they each get signed by one of the player's/coaches and auctioned off at the end of the year gala. the proceeds go to local women's shelters and queer organizations

---

this is cassie's first year back after an early retirement due to an injury two or three seasons ago and it's an almost entirely new team

baran is a new head coach brought up from college ball at a d2 school and no one thinks she has the chops for it but gloria (owner) has given a year to improve their 4-26 record from last year.

dana retired as head coach for another team five years ago and was working as a sportscaster for espn until she got the call from baran. it took a lot of convincing cuz she had to move states but she eventually agreed to give it a trial run for the training period.

samira was traded in from another team after two years of riding the bench despite being pivotal for the few minutes she was allowed on court (robby was head coach. it was an Experience, mostly bad)

trinity is the rookie, fresh from uni and determined to make a name for herself

yolanda is the one veteran with six years of playing for the team and having fckall to show for it. they thought last year would be The Season but emery was injured three games in and they never recovered.

parker is pulled in from playing overseas for the past three years after she got into it with her head coach for bs they were pulling behind the scenes and "politely" told by the league to fix her face. baran and dana go to bat for her Hard against the league (and gloria).

emery becomes the chief strategist and works with baran and dana to develop game plans and training schedules for everyone and lowkey dedicates all her energy to making sure everyone is getting what they need (she starts to burnout by playoffs and gets told to simmer down by yolanda and samira)

joy is filming a documentary about their season as her grad school capstone. it goes on to win awards at the festival circuit because i can't resist an underdog sports documentary fic

pairings

barantos (ofc, im nothing if not predictable) mellis mogarwalsh crown pearl mcollevans (they don't bring work home and this is a magical place where journalism ethics don't matter. also this rarepair/triad eats down.) joyemmvadi honestly barantos/mogarwalsh and garsanshimi/mowalsh is interchangeable, both dynamics in this au are fire

loop 16 al-hashimi is 40, has a son named kian, and goes to a pilates or zumba class every morning at 5:30 AM
