I asked my boyfriend in Canada once, how he deals with polar bears because I was curious about what to do and he was like, just be calm, let them know you’re there, and give them space and they’ll usually just go away.

My thoughts on the Charmed reboot trailer

Alright, here we are. I’ll put the trailer first for anyone who has not yet seen it and the rest is under the read more. I’m going to be pointing things out chronologically to hopefully make the most sense.

Keep reading

@seethem-dancing making some great points as usual! Thank you for sharing!

This product - based on the trailer, promotional releases&statements from the cast and crew - is unlikely to be any different from the other mediocre, uninspired and trite Western shows (some of which you’ve already mentioned, i.e TVD). In addition to CW and the creators of this particular project repeatedly displaying outward bigotry in order to promote the Reboot (capitalizing on the original Charmed - a show made by a woman&for women - after treating the actresses with grotesque misogyny before refusing the renew Charmed 10 years ago. And now deeming Holly - per her own statement - and other actresses to be “too old” to perform their jobs. Hence relying on the college aged, ability privilege possessing heroines to draw attention to this endeavor. While using ableist slurs against the neuroatypical people who critique problematic issues with the Reboot. Such as the CW referring to Mel’s sexuality as a “twist” in a promotional release which is the mentality that gets actually oppressed queer people outside of the First World bubble killed and persecuted on governmental level. Whereas the CW fishes for score points for introducing a “strong, feminist friendly heroine” where Western, classist, ableist brand of empowerment is concerned. Describing a queer female lead in strictly negative terms&reducing her to a controlling&anger management issues suffering lesbian cliche in other promotional materials), the trailer already outs itself as a sexist statement. Because for one, in the ludicrously badly written scene that you’ve already mentioned, one of the sisters is lashing out at her youngest sibling when the latter makes a valid point about them having to move on after their mother’s death. In the Charmed pilot the reason Prue is being justifiably hostile towards Phoebe is because the latter left her family (as later turns out - right after Grams’ funeral)&placed her personal selfish needs over said family time and again while Prue&Piper struggled daily to have ends meet and keep the house. The scene (allegedly) paralleling Piper&Jeremy’s confrontation, where one of the Reboot’s heroines is being attacked by a young man turned demon has the heroine in question instantly slip into combative/fighting mode as she kicks the attacker (accompanied by an artificial hitting sound)&he falls backwards. Which is the Reboot’s marked celebration of the already mentioned ability privilege&attempt to alienate the viewers who are not able bodied, able minded college aged women. When Piper was confronted by the armed (with a knife) Jeremy&realized he was a demon her powers were once again triggered by her understandable fear as she was paralyzed by terror&panic. She still tried her best to get away DESPITE said terror, used all the weapons at her disposal (namely a wooden balk) to fight back, got away, returned to manor&to her sisters who were also frightened upon being faced with a demon for what they believed to be the first time(in their conscious lives)&they defeated Jeremy together despite the shock and while struggling to get a grasp of their newly gained powers. This is a believable depiction of the reaction not just a woman but a disabled, neuroatypical person might exhibit when confronted with violence. The Reboot sets out to endorse the classist idea of female empowerment that values physical and mental capabilities&Western ideals of success over woman’s ethical&emotional development (hence insisting that the original show - that empowered countless people worldwide as we still struggle to not be labeled as “perverts” for our sexuality while privileged CW bosses instruct us on what type of representation we allegedly need - wasn’t empowering). In this trailer, the Giles/Leo hybrid ties the girls to chairs - after having allegedly kidnapped them - in order to trigger their powers. Not only does he get precisely what he wants but his misogyny is REWARDED when one of the heroines perpetuates it with her remark about slutty costumes. When Leo or Chris did something without consulting the girls they faced INSTANT karmic retributions (in Chris’ case - disproportional retributions). Here we have a white male abusing&lecturing three WOC about their own powers and having his controlling, sexist behaviors instantly rewarded by one of them (in the original series the sisters only had Leo assigned to them after they got their powers&he originally posed as a handyman who only directly introduced himself to the sisters in 1X03, after they had already figured out their destiny&what their mom&grandmother’s legacy was on their own).

A Conjuring of Light Hypothesis

Hypothesis for Delilah Bard:

In the prior 2 books, Lila was considered blind in one eye and that rendered her insecure about being under attack. She used a fake eye in order to make people believe it was there and to dissuade possible threats. What does this point to? Is she an antari? Or is she something entirely different? Victoria, the author also allowed Lila to move between 3 Londons. And, as such, it must mean she holds power equivalent to the weakest antari in order to move between worlds. The black stone, which easily overcomes people, and was the subject of interest in the first book, seems to have been the first key in understanding how important Delilah, truly, is. I believe her existence is something caught between antari and a link between black London and the other Londons. I believe her existence is the key in stopping Osaron and bringing magic back to the other Londons. Magic is the cause for each London’s demise and uplifting nature. Seen in Red London, magic gives people livelihood. But, in white london, magic is so scarce, its impossible to have magic and go unnoticed. And the last London, which was left without magic at all. Lila must be an antari, or something better. Something powerful. I feel it in my bones!
