Ackley Bridge – 2×07

Tags-100 in personality more like, 16 or whatever is old enough, a 3 in PERSONALITY, ackley bridge, ackley bridge 2x07, amy leigh hickman, and I'm assuming that in its unsubtle way it'll have sam learn and grow from this, and sam did, and she's surrounded by brown people!, asians and pakis and all that, but pshaw, but to believe what they do they have to think so badly of other people, but years before I had the tiniest inkling about myself and long before I met anyone gay--we were living in saudi after all--I argued myself, femslash related stuff, I dunno maybe in britain how this all works is different, I know bigots have their reasons I know they don't think they're evil in their minds, I saw that the writer of this storyline was actually a pakistan brit queer muslim herself?, I've been thinking about it since and I haven't really softened my stance, missy booth, missy should just realize she's bi and all our problems will be solved, muslim lgbt, my parents--yes my muslim parents--were homophobic, nasreen paracha, out of it and at a much younger age to boot, poppy lee friar, she's right, still seems too clumsy to me, the girl was at a white nationalist march!, the way the communities are mixed and the way they're separated are different from anything I've experienced, yeah none of us perfect yeah we're always learning yeah she grew up in an environment that cultivated that

Hello! I would just like to tell you I absolutely love reading your commentary in the tags of your posts. I look forward to reading them on every gifset! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!
when i started watching star trek discovery, i thought at least michael a crush on prime philippa. then the narrative kept insisting their relationship with mother/daughter so i threw my hands in the air and said ig! and now when i watched that scene, i was all ??? this doesn’t read as platonic to me. it can’t be just me seeing things with my own two lesbian eyes (1/2)
First off, I admire your patience with your answers to all the asks, thank you for your thoughtful replies.I have seen lots of frustration and disappointment with the Maya/Carina storyline/airtime in s4 so far on Station 19 and I find it fascinating and strange at how quickly people are forgetting the covid pandemic isn’t just a storyline, it’s real life for everyone right now, including the cast and production team. (That’s a general observation – not one I’ve ever sensed you to have through your responses BTW). That we have had any onscreen, close physical contact nevermind actual physical intimacy that requires the actors to kiss etc is a huge luxury. I don’t know what the exact rules are for the acting industry in the USA at the moment, but in the UK the rules are still strict for actors and were even stricter earlier in the year (at around the time the episodes just broadcast would have been filmed). And just this week Tom Cruise has been widely (and positively) reported about for making sure that the severity of the risks are to the industry and how much effort is being put in by those that can have shows/films in production right now to keep the industry alive for when it hopefully gets a little bit easier.And yes, it’s frustrating to see our favourite story lines within ensemble shows get a ‘lesser’ spotlight than others, especially when the others are the heteronormative, ‘mainstream’ ones.We have no idea what plan A was for s4 – it’s a casualty of covid, twice over. First because the broader narrative was adjusted to accommodate it, almost like the introduction of an additional series member to the ensemble. And second because they have to come up with stories that can be told through scenes filmed in ways that the cast, crew, studio etc are prepared to do because they feel they can do them safely.COVID kills, still by the thousand, every hour and day now, 9+ months after the first lockdowns and shelter in place orders etc. So much of life is unrecognisable for so many because of it, because they have lost people they care about, jobs, homes… And things taken for granted 10 months ago are almost forgotten about, condemned to ancient history because they just can’t happen safely.Yet we have new episodes on TV, made by people who were prepared to hug and kiss and put themselves as elevated risk of catching a seriously scary disease because it was something they could do to help us all, collectively feel like life still goes on.(we could have ended s3 at episode 15 and still be waiting for s4 to start filming….yet we have French Toast that’s better than sex!) Personally, I’m just so glad that we have had Maya and Carina on screen again in 2020 and that the storyline has survived COVID in the real world. Yes, it would be great if it was more and different and all the things as fans we always want. And hopefully it will be nearer that by the end of s4’s whole arc. And if it isn’t? I think I’ll cross that bridge when it comes. Hopefully at a point in 2021 when COVID-19 is no longer a main cast member of our lives… On screen and and in real life.
