Note:Top ten hottest characters, part sixteen. I haven’t seen Peacemaker yet. Or read Robert B. Parker’s Wonderland (or anything by Parker himself), but there’s no way book Hawk is as hot as movie Hawk, right? He’s a boxer. My puppy’s part Boxer. He likes dogs. If we were a couple, Hawk and I could dress up as Boxers for Halloween.
10. Talos (Ben Mendelsohn) from Captain Marvel
Shapeshifting space elf.
9. Stefano (William McNamara) from Opera
If anyone had to be tied up, gagged, and needled…
8. Alex (Justin Long) from He’s Just Not That into You
It’s just not that great a movie. Cute bartender, though.
7. Man with Red Eyes (Kyle Secor) from A Wrinkle in Time
Hypnotized and hypnotizing.
6. Abner Krill (David Dastmalchian) and Christopher Smith (John Cena) from The Suicide Squad
Why are failed/corrupt superheroes hot?
5. Cliff Vandercave (Kyle MacLachlan) from The Flintstones
He (and everyBarney else) dresses silly and should wear shoes. But evil businessman.
4. Matthew Brown (Jonathan Tucker) fromHannibal
Aw, his one-sided crush on Will.
3. Terry Foster (Michael Elcock) from Queens of Mystery
Why is Matilda into an engaged man when P.C. Foster is literally right there and ready to simp?
2. Seymour Krelborn (Conrad Ricamora) from Little Shop of Horrors
Ricamora playing another virile dork.
1. Hawk (Winston Duke) from Spenser Confidential
WHOO.
Note:Previous part. I wish Queens of Mystery got a third season. The narration makes it like a vastly less depressing ASOUE. Also, there are no HD pictures of Secor!Hank. :(

#AWITChallenge - Nationwide
https://www.gofundme.com/awitchallenge
Black girls are a storm. Roaring tempests from the moment they come into being. Thunderous and bold. Full of dancing, whirling winds and remarkable energy. Sometimes, they are too much for the world and it will ask them to shrink, to quiet their spirits, and put out their light, but Black girls shine anyway. They amaze me.
Join Sisters in the Storm, for the “A Wrinkle In Time” Challenge - a fundraiser to purchase full theaters in eight U.S. cities so that we can fill the seats with Black girls and non-boys to experience this important film together.
All proceeds will go directly to purchasing full theaters in the following cities:
• Austin, TX
• Charlotte, NC
• Chicago, IL
• Greensboro, NC
• Houston, TX
• Philadelphia, PA
• Plainfield, NJ
• Washington, DC
In late January, a Black girl named Stormiyah Denson-Jackson passed away in an apparent suicide at the public boarding school she attended. She was twelve years old and already madly in love with math and science — a #RealMeg. But this love she had made her the target of bullying and verbal abuse from her classmates. Devastated by their taunts, she chose to end her life rather than live with the shame they tried to make her feel for being a “nerd” who enjoyed engaging with sciences and mathematics.
Seeing ourselves represented as heroes has undeniable power, and feeling our absence in these roles also influences the way that we see ourselves and our Blackness.
We want Black girls to see their Blackness as something to be admired, celebrated, and valued, and we want Black girls interested in STEM not to feel that their Blackness is a barrier to their dreams. We want them to know that they should never have to quiet their storm for the comfort of others. They are not too much for the world and the light they carry has the power to lead many out of darkness.
For Stormiyah and every #RealMeg in our anti-Black world, we want to give the gift of A Wrinkle in Time to as many Black children as we can, and we will center Black girls and other non-boys in this work. Please join us in the A Wrinkle In Time Challenge as we raise funds to purchase full theaters in eight U.S. cities so that we can fill the seats with Black girls and non-boys to experience this important film together. #AWITChallenge

I was at the library today, when I saw the Wrinkle of Time was being sold for just .25. I’d checked it out before, but hadn’t managed to read it b/c I’d checked out so many books.
But…I didn’t have any quarters with me, so I figured I better spend a dollar. So I bought Smile, which I’d been meaning to read anyway, and the other two books, which I’d seen around.
I LOVE buying books…

From Abigail Santamaria, who is writing a biography of Madeleine L'Engle:
Thinking lots about Madeleine L'Engle’s “time series,” born of her Cold War anxieties. “I look at the children, the budding trees, the sky, the tiny purple violets,” she wrote in her journal in spring of 1959, “And I think: how can anyone wantonly contemplate destroying all this?”
Nuclear annihilation permeated her dreams: “Last night I dreamed that I had written a letter to Eisenhower with the solution to the Berlin problem, to all international problems. It was simple. Just to issue a proclamation of our own, saying that under no circumstances would we drop a nuclear bomb of our own. If a war is started by someone dropping a bomb it will be Russia, not America, who will do it. And we will not retaliate. We will have nothing whatsoever to do with nuclear warfare. Russia wants to be the saviour of the eastern world. How, under these circumstances, could she start a war without completely losing face? They would all immediately come over to the west.”
She never wrote that letter to Eisenhower. Instead, she began drafting A WRINKLE IN TIME, her portrait of confronting evil and defeating darkness. “This is my psalm of praise to life,“ she wrote when the manuscript was finished: "my stand for life against death.” (posted with permission)
