Series #14:You Should Be Watching: My Little Pony

October 14, 2015

Hey Gang!

Featured

Welcome to a new series!!! In Reasons you should be watching, I will write a detailed post about one show, that I think you should watch. It's pretty simple. I have a lot of people rolling their eyes right now, because I chose My Little Pony. Withold your judgement, I'm not finished yet!



Reason 5: Continuity. When I was younger, there were very few shows that had continuity, now there are children shows with entire story arcs! Cartoons have seriously moved up! I love that My Little Pony introduces characters and keeps them, that they show up two to three seasons later.

Reason 4: Comedy. Now when people think of the show, they think of Pinkie Pie as the sole source of hilarity, and while she certainly lives up to the hype, she's not the only serving jokes. Between Dischord, Fluttershy and Rarity's issues with the normal things in life, there is no shortage of comedy.

Reason 3: Character Development. When the show started out, there were five ponies getting to learn about each other. Now I'm into their fourth season together and they're almost completely different from when they started. They are more like a family than a group of friends. They have actually been through many battles together, and have even found forgiveness for those they fought against before. What used to scare them doesn't as much, and they've become a much more accepting group of ponies.

Reason 2: The Music. The Music in this show is awesome, upbeat and super catchy. I'm surprised that they aren't selling the music honestly. I remember when you could get OST of the anime or cartoon you were loving. Now it's a lot more difficult to get your favorite jams. Plus all the references in the music ya'll, to see what I'm talking about check out Discord's A glass of water!

Reason 1: Zecora.  Now to get real biased for a minute. I absolutely love Zecora. She is my favorite character. She is the number reason you should watch this show. Sure she doesn't show up very often but when she does it is such a treat! She speaks in rhymes, and her voice reminds me of Storm from X-men. She's a Zebra, and she helps the ponies when they're in trouble, which is pretty often if you really think about it! Plus it's a great episode for the lesson of not judging books by their covers!


 If you do watch My little Pony, lets talk about how awesome it is! Leave a comment or hit me up on Twitter! I love talking about nerdy things with ya'll! Don't be shy, we're all nerdy here!



 Stay Nerdy.

Nerdette Minute #3: One Thing

October 13, 2015

Hey Gang!

  I finally got my Camera FIXED!!! I got so excited that I recorded two videos in a row. I'm going to spread them out, and upload the second one next week. However, I have had this circling around in my head for almost three weeks, and I just had to get it out of my brain and in a video. This is in response to The Suffragette's T-shirts someone thought was a good idea.

5 Fandom Monday: Favorite fictional Teachers

October 12, 2015

Hey Gang!

 I'm talking about favorite fictional teachers today! Why is it so difficult to find a BLACK TEACHER?! I've spent the past 3 hours trolling the internet, and the only fictional animated teacher I could come up with were Storm, in X-men Evolution. I'm a little irked about the lack of representation.


6. Mister Feeney: I practically grew up with him. Sure Boy meets world didn't have a black character until college, but it was still part of my childhood. Mister Feeney was no nonsense, and yet still able to nurture an entire generation of children to greatness.


5. John Keating: The poetry teacher from Dead Poets Society. I picked this movie up on a whim from the local video store, and then returned a day later to purchase it, it really spoke to me. It had a beautiful message, and it showed what a real teacher should be like.


4. Yukari Tanizaki: Homeroom and English Teacher from Azumanga Daioh. I'm not saying that she should be emulated, because keeping kids prisoner to win a sports competition is a little overboard, but there are things that can be learned from her. Live in the moment, enjoy yourself, learn lots, life is too short for anything else.


3. Professor McGonagall: Who didn't want to be in Mcgonagall's Class after reading the books? I know I did, if I become a teacher, I'd want to be just like her. She put a lot of "magical" life in her lessons, everything she taught them could be applied to the world outside of hogwarts, and it was.


2. Numbah Five: I feel like she was a great teacher. She was a great anchor for the team while Nigel was away. I love the way she took Numbah 3 under her wing, and I love that even though her older sister wasn't a good guy, she didn't let that define her.


1. Storm: Storm taught me how to be ok with myself, even if you couldn't find others like yourself. In X-men Evolution, She is a botany teacher, and I thoroughly enjoy that. I think she would make a great teacher.



I can't help the extra mentions. Who are some of your favorite teachers? Tell me on Twitter, or below in a comment!

 Stay Nerdy,

September Favorites!

October 7, 2015

Hey Gang!

 It's time to tell you guys about all the cool things I discovered last month! I spent a lot of the month surfing the web and networking with other bloggers, and finding super awesome shops with adorable items!



She Loves Dresses: Half Fashion Blogger/ Half Intersectional Feminist and all around badass. I love reading her posts, and I'm always checking out her instagram. I'm addicted.

Re-discovering Persona Q: I bought it quite sometime ago, started it and then for some reason put it on my gaming shelf and there it stayed. I'm Makoto and I'm on level 9 but I keep getting killed by those king Beetle things, they are so difficult.

Getting to talk to Brenden Fletcher and having his business card: There is a video and a blog post dedicated to how awesome this was to me, so I won't delve to deep.

Getting a photo with Adam West: There is a Blog post and I'm working on a video talking about how awesome this was, so I won't talk your head off about it here now.

Getting interviewed by Evon Von!: This was my first interview by another blogger and it was awesome. I was so excited to be contacted for this you guys, you just have no idea. I've been blogging for a really time, and I've never really been featured on anyone's blog's before this year, and I was just so hyped about the opportunity.

Scoring an interview with Andrea of Killin me softly: I have talked about her so much, but her stuff really is amazing!

Discovering Trinket Geek: I have been looking for nerdy jewelry that doesn't look like its going to fall apart if I pull so hard, and their stuff is SO CUTE!!! I am so in love with their Sailor Mars Henshin Symbol Bracelet! 

Bara-Chan's Glittery Pluto: I can't even deal with the cuteness.

What were some cool things you discovered last month? Tell me below or on Twitter!

Series #13: Fall Television

October 5, 2015

Hey Gang!
 I know I have been a little behind on keeping up with great content for you guys! I have so many ideas floating in my head and I've had some issues moving from my head into fruition, but I've been working on that, and I can't wait to show you guys everything I've got planned. For Starters, Telling you all about how much I am loving television this fall.

Rosewood: Can we talk about how amazing Rosewood is? Ya'll know I love a good mystery show. Heck, I can even get behind a good police procedural. But this, is in a league of its own. Comedy. Intelligence, Diversity, and open sexuality representation. I love Detective Via. There isn't a single character introduced that I don't like. Its the first show I go to when I hit Hulu.



Scream Queens: The trailers for this show all summer, made me so excited. Neicy Nash, Keke Palmer, the sarcasm, the Humor. I couldn't wait for this bloody show to start. (pun unintended) Now that it's here, The vocabulary is problematic, and Emma Robert's Character is beyond grating. I'm really waiting for her to get chopped up like seriously. I swear Neicy and Keke make the show for me. But this past episode with "the Ghetto rules", the golf fraternity, baseball bats, and Backstreet Boys. Like I couldn't breath I was laughing so hard.




Empire: When Season one was airing, I somehow missed out. Thanks to hulu, I was able to watch all the missed episodes in one go, a single day. I was so hooked. Now season two is here and I have to watch one episode a week like everyone else and I'm DYING....I need to know that everything is going to be ok. I need Luscious to forgive Trey, He literally poured his heart and soul into the company, like it wouldn't be there without him, lets be truthful.



Scandal: I have a love/hate relationship with Scandal. I am so tired of Olivia and Fitz relationship. It irks me because there are so many things wrong with it. I really really wanted her to be with Jake. I wanted her to be able to bask in the sun, and Fitz isn't able to give her that. Giving Mellie divorce papers in season 5 is too little too late in my opinion.



What Television shows are you guys watching? I'm always up for watching something new! Tell me all about it on Twitter and Google +
