Favorite Canceled/Ended TV Shows: APB

read please

okay, i was scrolling through the apb tag looking for some promos for the season finale when i realized how many people are hating on apb.

yes, i realize that the premise of the show sounds completely batshit from a current events stand point. a billionaire buys a police precinct and uses his money to teach the cops to be better cops? that kind of sounds like a nightmare, to be honest, but that’s not at all what the show is like. so here is my list of five reasons why you should watch apb:

1. yes, gideon the billionaire thinks money can solve everything, but he’s constantly (and quite harshly) learning that he’s wrong. the last episode was total proof of this point, when murphy put him in his place and he realized that there are boundaries of what he can and can’t do. 2. speaking of teresa murphy, this show has a latina female lead who isn’t overly sexualized, played as an idiot, or stereotyped into oblivion. murphy gets right into the action and isn’t afraid to tell gideon, who is essentially her boss, when he’s wrong. she’s also not a total bitch either- another stereotype that i, as a latina, hate. (also natalie martinez is beautiful) 3. we have a queer woman of color who isn’t just there as a diversity hire! we had no idea goss is gay until, what, the sixth episode? the issue is quietly brought up, then quietly put to rest. i’m sure it’ll come up again (please give voss a girlfriend, please give voss a girlfriend), but my point is that she’s not there for the writers to say ‘oh look at us! we’re so great, we have one gay character! that’s all she’s going to be though, gay.’ goss as a character is just as utilized as her white, straight partner, and that’s wonderful. 4. the show deals with topics that are kinda hard to talk about. racism? check. the growing threat of a total police state? check. domestic abuse, homophobia, gang violence? check, check, and check. these writers obviously don’t mind getting down and dirty with it, and for that i applaud them. 5. caitlin stasey. need i say more?

tl;dr: WATCH THE GODDAMN SHOW BEFORE YOU START JUDGING IT, OKAY? IT’S ACTUALLY QUITE GOOD. thank you , and good night.

Sneak Peak at my new APB fic

So I’m currently working on my new APB fic. It is official, I am absolutely obsessed. I am still writing for other fandoms, but this one has got me hooked. Anyways, the fic isn’t finished. I’ve got a few more scenes to write. Probably up on Monday. It’s already 13 google doc pages long, 8000 words, and I’m not done yet. But here’s how it starts:

A Different Room

Gideon shifted uncomfortably in his seat, the black robes and hat feeling oppressive over his suit. Not for the first time since the ceremony began, he had to forcefully remind himself why he was there despite years of telling himself that he wouldn’t do exactly what he was about to do.

Every year since Reeves Industries’ IPO, he had been asked by the MIT Commencement Committee to be the keynote speaker at graduation. And every year, Gideon had told them in no uncertain terms that it was never going to happen. This year, though, he’d been unable to say no. Because this year, sitting out among the graduating students, was Mateo. 20 years old, spectacular grades, and a double degree in Mathematics with Computer Science and Materials Engineering and with a tenaciousness that rivaled his mother’s. 

How could Gideon say no, when it had been Mateo asking?

As he waited for the Dean of Students to finish welcoming everyone and introduce him, Gideon found himself thinking back to his own graduation.

He’d barely taken his seat and already he was regretting his decision to go through graduation. The cap and gown was uncomfortable over his t-shirt and jeans, the plastic folding chair was already starting to hurt his butt, and it was hotter than hell with so many people filling the room.
