++ Some friending memes: Spring Friending Meme and Book Friending Meme.

++ Natasha Negovanlis won an award for Carmilla at the Canadian Screen Awards! This was the first award that Natasha has ever received for any performance, and I believe the first award for the webseries as well, proving, as she mentioned in her speech, that web content is getting more recognition for its importance of storytelling just as mainstream and traditional media does. I mean, this was just a little webseries that celebrated not just women but also the LGBTQ community and it just won an award on television. How awesome is that? She also did a personal Q&A on KindaTV after the fact, giving more details about her thought process of that night and just her continuing to thank the fans for their love and support of the series, and being adorable while doing so.

Tatiana Maslany also won at the CSA as well, winning two for Orphan Black and The Other Half. Congratulations to both women, who are more than deserving of these awards and recognition for their phenomenal performances in their respective projects. I'm so proud of them. ♥

++ I'm a bit behind on Legends of Tomorrow, but learning the fact that they actually said the word bisexual in one of the recent episodes was kind of a pleasant surprise. I know the topic itself was debated on early in the season when it was thought that they were erasing Sara's bisexuality, and I know that Caity Lotz has been a huge advocate of maintaining that Sara Lance is bisexual since day one, however just because it is confirmed behind the scenes doesn't always mean that it'll ever be uttered within canon. It is rare for bisexuality to even be acknowledged in media (oftentimes it is only vaguely implied or just ignored and erased altogether), so actually having it being said, plain and simple, is such a wonderful thing.

It would have been even better if Sara herself had said it (instead of Nate) but the fact that the b word was actually used was just awesome and made me happy because as you said,it's so rare still that it happens (in books too) so every someone in media uses it,an angel gets their wings lol

Yeah, I agree that it would've been better if it had been Sara who gave acknowledgement of her own sexuality instead of someone else, but at the same time the fact it was openly acknowledged at all was such a pleasant surprise. It's kind of sad that we've set the bar so low, but when the media constantly ignores that bisexuality even exists, any form recognition is good.

(And I know it was probably most likely done in response to the concerns fans had early into the season, since Caity addressed these concerns in one of her Q&A videos, but the fact the show even fully acknowledged it within canon at all means a whole lot.)
