One of my favorite moments from Unity Days was when I was in line to get Lindsey’s autograph I overheard a part of Bob and a fan’s conversation and Bob said very excitedly “Are you Filipino!?” Like he was so freaking excited about it. So this is just a reminder that Bob Morley is a proud moc and loves being Filipino.

Canadian actress Tasya Teles sports a Lexa Deserved Better sticker at Unity Days Con 2017 in Vancouver after the administration claimed it was “vandalism” to put one of those on the building.

Because I need to see her smile

Well this happened. We were there two seconds before Eliza asked to take the baby from @brightcopperpenny. Bob appreciated her Octavia costume and played peekaboo with her over Eliza’s shoulder while Eliza was snuggling her afterwards. Epic photo op!

as promised,

My question to Lindsey at Unity Days, and her answer!

Me: “My question is for Lindsey: I know that you’ve heard a lot of people tell you about what you mean to them for representation--how did you go into season 3 knowing that, and how did you prepare for that?”

Lindsey: “You know, it’s funny, because I know how Raven affects me, in my life. And I know, as an actress, in Hollywood, and LA, and bleh, bleh, bleh--in that life. As far as, you know--I would get auditions for the skank, for the slut, for the poor Mexican maid. You know what I mean? And even on that soap opera, I was the bitch. So it’s just kinda like, why are these women painted so ugly, or painted so negatively, in a way? And why, because of me being a woman of color, I’m automatically lesser because of that. I didn’t like that. And it never, never sat well with me, and made me really kind of jaded and cynical, and just like, mad at the world. Like, why would you do this to someone, you know, to people? That’s not right, that’s not fair.

“When I got Raven, I thought it was so interesting, because they didn’t give her a last name. It was just “Raven.” I remember auditioning for her, and I had three other friends auditioning for her too. One was Asian, one was black, and one was blonde. And I loved that, I was like, ‘Oh, they’re just going for anything here,’ which you don’t see in Hollywood. The breakdown is, give me the ethnicity, give me the age range, and give me three traits. And that’s the character. They rely a lot on the actor to bring to them their full body, their complexity, their person.

“And that’s what I love so much, is they allowed me to inform Raven, versus them telling me what Raven’s gonna be. And then, when the disability happened for Raven, you know, at first--I was so pumped for it, because it was such an acting challenge for me, and I was like, this is great! But then, it got to a point--and I think I’ve shared with you--that it started to create an imbalance in my body. And it was frustrating, because I’m a very active person, and I was getting benched in scenes, you know? Because I couldn’t go out with the Adventure Squad, I couldn’t go on the same adventures that were happening, and suddenly I was like, ‘Man, this kinda sucks!’

“But from that--and you see that in Raven, that she draws strength from her pain, and that’s what I thought was so cool about her arc for season 3, is that she’d rather choose her pain, and ultimately choose herself, versus choosing the pain-free life that’s not her. So I also, as a person, drew from that. My own flaws, my own pain, I now draw strength from, because my life isn’t lily-gilded, or easy, and I have my own troubles, but now I know, because I went through it, it’s made me stronger, and it makes me feel like I can do anything. I feel like that’s how Raven feels. Her pain is a reminder of how strong she is, and that’s what I love.”
