how was lexa discovered on model!au?

femininenachos:

She was talent spotted by a modelling agency scout while on a shopping trip with school friends in Geneva. Less than a month later she was living with three other girls—Anya, one of them—in a shitty little apartment in, idk, the 11th arrondissement of Paris.

Picture: seventeen year old pretentious bean Lexa sitting alone at a table on the sidewalk outside a cafe in Quartier Latin, with a little carafe of wine (because it’s legal to drink wine and beer at 16 in France), and a paperback copy of Sartre’s Huis-clos that she picked up from some quaint bookstore nearby. Thinking she’s sooo cultured and chic AF.

(I love her.)

Does she spend free time at Shakespeare and Co?  Maybe she stayed there a month writing her shitty poetry, much to the dismay of the owners.  

Met a lot of a pretty Parisian girls though – maybe someone equally pretentious and vain named Costia?  

Evelyne 👏🏻 Brochu 👏🏻 deserves 👏🏻 her 👏🏻 spot 👏🏻 in 👏🏻 the 👏🏻 main 👏🏻 freakin’ 👏🏻 credits👏🏻

There are rules that govern how actors who are not ‘regulars’ can be billed – in the case of an actor like Brochu (who works on multiple projects almost simultaneously), giving her a ‘guest star’ credit is one way to help her stand out from the main cast (given how popular Maslany is, giving Brochu her own ‘card’ highlights her significance) and might be a reflection of how her contract was negotiated (something she would agree to) and what her pay scale is.  

Not giving her a main starring credit is not necessarily a personal or derogatory reflection of the production – it is simply how the SAG and studios make up their contracts for a performer.

Do you want the good tea or the bad tea? What’s the difference? I call one good, one bad. Er, I’ll take the good one.

‘What horror?

Oh, we’re going to play up some racist stereotypes and pull a homophobic trope by shooting the black lesbian and putting her through conversion therapy – but just for giggles, don’t worry!’

U seen Wonder Woman yet doc? i figured youd post something on it if you liked it maybe not?

I have seen it.  

Not sure what I could bring to any discussion on it.  I felt a little empty watching it.  I wanted to know if Diana had friends or lovers on the island she left behind without a thought.  Wouldn’t at least one of those loyal friends want to accompany her?  There was no time to portray a serious romance so I’m not sure why they made it such a major part of the story – it diminished the importance of her relationships with the Amazons.  Dr. Poison was wasted.  Ares was an obvious and monologuing nitwit.  Much of the action movement and choreography looked like it was lifted from Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch. I would like to see her surrounded by other women again.  I hope they put Chief in the sequel.  I hope Gail Simone writes it.
