Hi friends, welcome back to my blog! Today I’m coming at you with something new and different for me becuase I was feeling fun and festive and very very trashy! In the last few days of 2019 I started rewatching Glee and started writing this blog post but then I got half way through the season and stopped watching. But, now we’re in 2021 and I’ve decided to embrace my trashy mood and I’m finishing this rewatch! And, I figured why not post my Glee opinions and share them with all of you!
Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog! Today I’m coming at you with a long discussion-chatty type post so please buckle up, grab some snacks and prepare to really tell me what you think in the comments section because today we’re discussing the Shadowhunter tv show & movie!
You can find my reviews of the Shadowhunter books here.
Hey guys, welcome back to my blog! Today I’m coming to you with a long-awaited discussion post talking about a bunch of books I think would work really well on the small screen! As most of you will know, I’m a huge movie geek and I also really love a good tv show, so today I thought I may as well combine my two loves on my blog with you guys since I’m sure a bunch of you also love book adaptations and I’m sure there were a bunch that I didn’t even think of!

Hey everyone, welcome back to my blog! Today I’m doing something a bit different and coming at you to talk about some of my favourite Doctor Who episodes. I’m just going to talk about New-Who (Eccleston onwards) episodes because unfortunately, I’ve only seen a few of the Classic-who episodes.
Doctor Who is one of my favourite tv shows of all time, it’s definitely in my top 3. I haven’t liked the newer seasons as much but I am a big big fan of the earlier seasons, so you can expect a lot of my favourite episodes to be pulled from those seasons!

Hey guys, today I’m coming at you guys with a new TV Chats! I feel like I haven’t posted one of these in so long, which makes no sense since I enjoy writing them so much!
Yes.
It had to happen eventually.
I just don’t care anymore. I was never a big fan of the books at all so giving the show was a big leap of faith. I did really enjoy the show for the most part but eventually, I just stopped enjoying it. I got roughly halfway through season 2 before just giving up on the show. Most of this did have something to do with Dominic Sherwood. I just have a big problem with him, he says some really dumb shit. I just can’t get on board with him.
But, Ellyn aren’t you a total superhero nerd???
I know. I know.
That’s totally what you were all thinking. Well, actually yes I am, but for some reason, the shows just never click with me. I used to be a total Arow fangirl but then I realised that the show has gone to sh*t and there’s no point in me watching the Olicity show anymore when all I care about is Diggle.
On a similar note, I no longer care about The Flash and I could never get on board with Legends of Tomorrow. My younger brothers, however, absolutely love these two shows, so maybe they’re better for younger viewers???
However, I have seen a few random scenes from Supergirl and I am intrigued (mainly by Katie McGrath) so I might try giving it a shot at some point but for now, I think I’ll just stay away from DC in general. (Until Aquaman comes out, because in December that will be the only thing I talk about, whoops!)
Oh, boy. Yeah. Yeah, I know you guys, please don’t hurt me.
I am more of a Marvel fan, rather than a DC fan. I used to be really into the Marvel shows as well as the DC shows, I was all about the superhero shows. It was ridiculous.
Of the shows that are out, the only one I still care about is Jessica Jones. I know season 2 is coming out at some point soon, maybe hopefully?? I actually have no idea, which probably shows how much I care about Marvel tv, wow. I know there are a whole lot of Marvel shows so here’s the low down:
Daredevil – I love the cast and this is a good show but I just don’t care enough. Karen is the only good thing in this world. I think I got a few episodes into season 2 before giving up.
Defenders – huh, this actually got greenlit, did it?
That guy with the tat – Yeah… no. #sorrynotsorry
His whole fam is dead and he likes Karen – I do not have the patience for Marvel shows anymore – I just don’t care enough anymore.
Wait, Agent’s of Shield is still running?? – How has this not been cancelled yet???
With these three shows, I honestly don’t know what I should do. Late last year I really got back into Once Upon A Time and so did my youngest brother but I haven’t watched it in months. I know I will eventually get back to the show, but I think I will get back to it when I next get the flu.
As for Grimm, it’s pretty much the same situation as OUAT. I enjoy this while I’m watching it (mainly because the main guy is a cop) but, most of the time I just find a reason to not watch the show.
And then we have The Vampire Diaries, a show only got 15 episodes into before I got a bit fed up with the drama. Though I will say, I always thought I would route for Damon but right now, I don’t hate Stefan, so I hope he ends up happy at the end of the series.

Hey guys, today I’m coming at you with a new tv chat posts. Whether or not you’ve read the Raven Cycle series, we all know that it’s being turned into a tv show on Syfy, so today I thought I might talk about my hopes and expectations for the show!
IMPORTANT
**Adam must be relatable and he MUST BE DEAF OR I WILL RAGE – we have almost no deaf rep in media, let alone half deaf so I will be mega pissed off if they don’t include this.
ADAM
VIBE
CAST
CAST
Diverse, close to teenage age
Gansey – white
Ronan – don’t particularly care – so long as he’s tanned I’m good, car oil, biracial maybe?
Noah – White because he’s a ghost duh
Henry – Asian (in the books)
Blue – poc, Blue’s family
Adam – idc
Are you looking forward to the show?
What are your hopes & expectations for TRC?

Hey guys, today I want to chat with you guys about diversity in superhero films. Last month there was a bit of talk about this on Twitter and it really got me thinking. I am constantly ranting to my friends about the lack of diversity in film in general, but especially in the superhero films. In fact, one of my friends actually doesn’t go to see superhero films anymore unless she is 100% interested, or the cast is actually diverse (Wonder Woman, Black Panther, Thor).
Anyway, so I kind of touched on this last month in another Tv Chats ( I have been writing a whole lot of these lately #sorrynotsorry) but the movies that we’re seeing at the moment all seem to be the same, white American man saves the day, yay and that’s pretty much it, I also talked about the movies I would actually prefer to see, if you want to check it out.
Think about it, how many diverse superheroes can you think of in film?
Here, I’ll do it with you. We’ve got Black Panther, Luke Cage, Aquaman, Cyborg and Storm. This took me a good half hour to come up with and I couldn’t even count them on both hands.
LET’S TALK ABOUT SPIDEY BEING CONTRACTUALLY STRAIGHT I HAVE RAGE
A couple of months ago there was this big discussion on Twitter and I thought I might talk with you guys about it. A few authors put in their two cents and a bunch of actors talked about it too. I find that this is a big issue, especially nowadays when people are so aware of diversity.
I think this is most obvious in the recent movie; Ghost in The Shell. It was based off an anime and starred Scarlett Johanson. I honestly don’t understand why she felt like it was okay for her to take the role but hey, this is Hollywood.
I have two notes for this post. Mainly I want to talk about Spider-Man but, before I get into that I also want to quickly mention something that has been bugging me since the first Avengers film. Hawkeye. Now, don’t get me wrong I love Hawkeye (Let’s all ignore Age of Ultron) but in the comics he was deaf and as a deaf person it’s extremely offensive that he doesn’t even have a hearing aid in the films.
What I think we need more of in film is actors like Ed Skrein, he actually turned down a film because he learned that the character was mixed Asian. [THIS ARTICLE SHOULD EXPLAIN EVERYTHING]
Anyway, so a couple of months ago, there was a whole lot of chat, probably derived from the discussion from the Hellboy casting. Anyway, so people were talking about how Peter Parker (Spidey) is contractually obligated to be straight and white. It was revealed in a bunch of leaked Sony emails and honestly, I am so disapointed. [ARTICLE]
Adam Silvera also got into it on Twitter [LINK TO TWEET], saying that he was asked to write a super-hero novel but he bowed out because he couldn’t write the character as queer.
This is a huge problem because it shows that Hollywood and Publishing companies are not wlling to branch out. I already love superheroes, and I already love books, so when I find out that companies are refusing to allow non-straight characters a thing in thier books and it really doesn’t make me want to pick up their books.
Obviously I still want to read Wonder Woman and Batman, but really the lack of willingness to allow diversity in novels, especially about superheroes, who are already so straight and white, is really worrying.
How do you feel about diversity in film? What’s your stance on the issue?

Hey guys, today I’m coming at you with a new Tv Chats, talking about all the shows coming back this month! I am not currently watching too many shows but these are the ones Iknow are coming out or I am excited about!
ants
Lucifer and Brooklyn Nine-Nine started this week and Stranger Things is coming out later this month. If I’m honest I am most excited for Lucifer, because aside from Stranger Things, I’m not actually up to date with any of the other shows.
I am currently on season 2 of Jane The Virgin, season 4 of B99 and season 3 of OUAT (I am really appreciating Peter Pan’s character development).
However, because school has just started and I have just started a new job, I really don’t know how much tv I will be watching, nor do I know how I will be coping with blogging.
Of all the shows on my currently watching list, I am definitely most excited for Stranger Things and Lucifer, mostly because ST is shorter and Lucifer is just SO GOOD.
The only show on my list that I don’t think I will continue with is The Flash, I used to really love the show, but like Arrow, I think the show follows the same formula and particularly with this show, it always has the same “plot twist”.
Hey, guys, I mentioned before that I have just started a new job and that school has just started up again.
I have a whole stack of blog posts scheduled for the month, but I haven’t written most of them as my holiday was a total flop and I wrote basically no blog posts.
Basically, I am really feeling stretched thin at the moment; school has just started up again, I have a new job, I have not been reading much of anything, and I am pretty much just tired 24/7. I don’t want this post to be a downer, but I thought I should let you guys know that if I get to your comments late, it’s not you, it’s me.
What shows are you looking forward to watching? Do we watch any of the same shows?
