| AMP Featured, TV, animation, contributors, Steven Universe By M.A. Hinkle on Tue,9:58 When Steven Universe's "A Single Pale Rose" finally confirmed a longstanding theory, I was more interested in everything else it said about the characters, especially Pearl.

Read More > Big on the Internet, non-binary, Rebecca Sugar, Steven Universe By Vivian Kane on Mon,6:08 We're in love with Steven Universe for a lot of reasons, not the least of which has long been the show's empathetic depiction of queer love and identity. In a recent interview with NPR, the show's creator, Rebecca Sugar, came out as a non-binary woman. She explained how important it was to be able to express her sense of identity through the show, as well as to present a depiction of gender identity that we rarely, if ever, get to see on television, let alone in children's show.

Noelle Stevenson, the Eisner-winning creator of Lumberjanes and Nimona, will be serving as showrunner and executive producer, and we've been anxiously waiting to see what her take on the beloved 80s character would look like. We are not disappointed. Read More > Gaming, fan film, Nathan Fillion, Uncharted movie By Chelsea Steiner on Mon,5:18 Fans have been clamoring for years to see a movie version of the Uncharted series and its protagonist Nathan Drake. While several adaptations have been in the works off and on, fans have always favored Nathan Fillion for the role. Fillion bears a striking resemblance to Drake, and his sly onscreen persona is perfect for the quippy treasure hunter.

Or at least that's what is happening with this meme about Captain America: Civil War. When Twitter user homeisarealsong got bored and posted a video from the film with a Billy Eichner voiceover on it, fans instantly hit retweet. Read More > Big on the Internet, mental health, self love, Self-healing By Kate Gardner on Mon,5:00 This is not to say that face masks, spa days, and other traditionally feminine activities and things are inherently bad. But we need to consider how it's become a commodity of sorts, a way for us to spend more money. It also paints a different look at self care than what we necessarily need. Read More > Comics, comic books By Tia Vasiliou on Mon,4:54 When the going gets tough, the tough go to the library. There are few problems you can’t solve with some solid research. Nancy Drew and I have this outlook in common, but somehow, I never really connected with the prim 1950s version of the character in the set of books on my dad’s shelf when I was a kid. Read More > Movies, Boots Riley, movie review, Sorry to Bother You By Chelsea Steiner on Mon,4:45 There are many different ways a film can impact its audience. There are films, expensive and bombastic, that evaporate from your brain while you're still in the theater parking lot. There are films that move you, make you weep, and touch on universal emotions we all feel. There are movies that terrify you, keep you up in the dark hours double-checking for monsters under your bed.

Read More > AMP Featured, Big on the Internet, James Woods, Michael Avenatti, sexual misconduct By Vivian Kane on Mon,1:43 Michael Avenatti is weaponizing women's pain in a Twitter feud with James Woods and it's totally unacceptable. Read More > AMP Featured, Movies, Loki, The MCU, Tom Hiddleston By Princess Weekes on Mon,1:17 We must remember that although our sweet classic prince Tom Hiddleston has been known for playing brooding dark-haired Byronic heroes, he is a sweet ginger man and so getting the black gothic locks for Loki are part of his transformation into that character. Today we will be going through Loki's wigs throughout the series and break down which bring honor to our trickster god and which belong in the flames of Hel. Read More > Movies, Dirty Dancing, Feminists, representation By Kate Gardner on Mon,1:04 Without a doubt, the film is a surprisingly feminist and forward-thinking film and we have screenwriter Eleanor Bergstein to thank for that. Read More > Big on the Internet, fan culture, fandom, fangirl, standom By Rachel Leishman on Mon,12:52 Hiding behind your keyboard and sending an anonymous message to a fan you don't like might feel like a harmless act. You're just expressing the fact that you don't like their posts. In reality, you're probably jealous of them for some reason or another and it is an easy way to bring them down. Nothing happens to you and they'll probably just ignore it, right? Read More > Movies, bo burnham, Eighth Grade, The MPAA By Chelsea Steiner on Mon,12:42 Bo Burnham's new film Eighth Grade, which premiered at Sundance in January, follows Kayla, 13 year old girl struggling to find her place and herself in the final week of eighth grade.
