Comment Meta

[amaresu]

Femslash Mini Meta fest was an utter fail this year. And I'm still not in a place where I could do it, so I purpose Comment Meta. And let's have it cover all things female and fannish. However you define those.

How it works

1. Post a meta topic in a top level comment. Use the subject line for the meta subject and expand as you want in the body of the comment. Or don't.

2. Repeat Step 1 for as many meta ideas as you have.

3. Comment on other meta topics.


It's kinda like a kink meme, only with meta. Feel free to browse the mini meta tag for ideas.

This is meant to be about as low pressure as it comes. Feel free to write on your own journal/Tumblr/blog and link back here. Respond with as little or as much as you want. This post will remain open indefinitely, so please track it if that makes things easier for you.

Re: Orphan Black and the Bechdel Test

Felix and Allison are the best. I love that he's able to develop these different relationships with everyone too. Sarah's he's sister, but Allison is turning into his friend and it's lovely.

I'd say Tatiana Maslany needs to be in all the things, but I really want her to keep on making this show. Just the little differences she makes in the characters, the way Cosima paces and uses her hands and Allison sits very still and Sarah breaks out into rages. There are all sorts of little things she does to make them all different people and it's amazing.

Tatiana Maslany had an interview where she says: The beautiful and horrific thing about the patent storyline is that, for me, it resonated as a woman -- this idea of your body, your personality and your image not being yours. As an actor, I understand that and the more I'm in a public consciousness, the more I understand that role a lot of women are forced to take, which is about giving up a lot of your identity to serve the public. For me, it was really incredibly resonant point in terms of the ownership women have over their bodies.

Which, just yes to everything she said.

Oh gosh it makes me all tingly when actors talk about their roles and they are so intelligent and have so much insight into the character(s) they are playing. Thanks for the link to that interview!
