Something Wicked This Way Comes

Idgaf how anyone feels about Top Ten Style Lists...I adore them :D

So...here's my Top 15 Favorite Tv/Movie Witches

15. Witch Carver from Brave



You can't not love her, ok? She's trying so hard to be a woodcarver but she always outs herself as a witch, lol. And whether it's her appearance in Brave or during Merida's story in Once Upon a Time, her ultimate goal is to see people make the right choices and fulfill their destinies. AND she makes kickass bear wood carvings, guys!



14. The Witch - Into the Woods



She automatically got points for being played by Meryl Streep but come on, she was awesome. I mean she comes in like hey, so...your parents are the reason I lost my beauty so I make your family INFERTILE....*evil laugh* AND...I stole your sister :D now...get me these things I need or you'll never have a baby, oh but I am still not giving back your sister, just FYI. She tries to offer up Jack to the angry giantess and tbh, she was really the most logical person for like half the film, just no one wanted to admit that lol. 

13. Willow Rosenberg - Buffy the Vampire Slayer



Now, I know Willow went a little nuts at some point but that's part of what got her on the list. Sweet, adorable little book nerd Willow may have gone too far down the bad bitch trail but the point is, she went. And she wielded some serious power, just saying. 

12. Cassie Blake -Secret Circle



I was so bummed that show was cancelled. I was rather fond of it. And the idea that there was a difference between a witch and witch that was part of a coven, that one a witch became part of the coven, their powers were tied together and stronger BUT they had to have at least two of them together to do much of any magic O.O lol 

11. Fiona Goode - American Horror Story Coven



You may have noticed this list isn't all about Good Witches or Bad Witches. I love my good witches, certainly, but you have to admit, there are some bad witches out there that were just played SO. WELL. Like they're evil, sure, but they're badass and you either love them or love to hate them. And Fiona was BADASS. She wasn't above killing other witches to retain her position and she was more than willing to get downright dirty to stay in power. 



10. Bonnie Bennett - Vampire Diaries



Oh Bonnie. Poor, dear Bonnie. The shit that girl goes through. And despite her trips down the dark side, of which there have been many, growing progressively worse, she started out as a good witch and continues throughout the series to show that she has a heart and she means to do the right thing. But all that power is so alluring. 

9. Winifred Sanderson -Hocus Pocus



Oh, well all know why Winnie is here. I mean, aside from being played by Bette Midler, which is ALL YOU NEED, Winnie is perfection. She is the most hilariously evil witch, She is so funny and honestly, so amusingly pitiful at times, you find yourself practically rooting for the Sandersons. Oh, you need to eat all the children in Salem? Well, just this once, so we can keep you :D 



8. Muriel - Hansel and Gretal: Witchhunters



Alright, so, we have another child eater. I know, I know, she's pure evil. But DAMN, evil never looked so good. Not physically when she is transformed, lol, but she is a Grand Witch of Epicly Immoral Proportions. And she is terribly good at being truly bad. 

7. Wendy Beauchamp - Witches of East End



Now, I like all the Beauchamp women and it was quite the chore choosing between Wendy, Joanna, Ingrid and Freya because I adore them all for different reasons. But I went with Wendy because one, she's a cat, which is awesome. And two, she is a bit likelier to use magic than the other three Beauchamp women. SOOO bummed they cancelled this show too *^* 



6. Ravenna - Snow White and the Hunstman



Now, I realize that film was a bit of a flop, many people didn't like it. IDGAF, because of two things....one, come on, guys, the Huntsman is played by CHRIS HEMSWORTH. And....Charlize Theron is the Evil Queen. I adore her. And whatever you say about the film, she did an incredible job with Ravenna who was both clearly evil as all hell...but also you could feel sorry for her, you empathized with her that her shitty life made her the way she was. 

5. Morgana - Merlin



This is the role that made me LOVE Katie McGrath, ok? She played this role to perfection. Morgana is so lovable at the start of this series, the poor girl who doesn't understand her visions or why magic keeps effecting her life to the jaded woman who seeks ultimate vengeance. And even though she does SERIOUS evil, you can't blame her because if fucking Uther hadn't been such a dick or if everyone hadn't repeatedly lied to her and just told her what she was, she'd never have become the greatest evil power that world had ever known. Even when she was dark, she was FABULOUS. 



4. Hermione Granger - Harry Potter Series



Well, of course, Hermione! Much like Willow, she was our book nerd, the witch we can look up to. Just because you are feminine, sweet or bookish doesn't mean you can't be brave and badass and go on adventures! Hermione was endlessly clever and portrayed beautifully by Emma Watson. And unlike Willow, she maintained her good heart throughout the entire series and never took the easy way out by joining the dark side or misusing magic. 



3. Regina Mills - Once Upon a Time



I have loved Regina from the very beginning. Once the Evil Queen, yes, but from her point of view, she had every right to her revenge and yes, she was blinded by it but she wasn't always that way and she overcame that darkness and became one of the greatest forces of good in the show. I adore her, I absolutely adore her and I respect the change and I swear, every time the writers played around with her and made her tap back into evil, I wanted to THROTTLE them!! 



2. Piper Halliwell -Charmed



I adore all the sisters, of course. Prue, least of all, admittedly, but her, Phoebe and Paige. But Piper was always my favorite. I was honestly relieved when Prue died because it allowed Piper to leave her shell, stop being the shy middle sister who just wanted to cook and not do magic and though she fought against magic's hold on her life for the entire series, as the oldest sister, she came into her own and became a complete badass. She also spent the entire series fighting for her love...she deserved Leo so badly, I mean, seriously. I felt for her. She is one of my favorite female characters ever, as well as one of my favorite witches. 







1. Minerva McGonagall -Harry Potter Series



Minerva McGonagall, played by the incredible Maggie Smith is not only my favorite Harry Potter character but my all time favorite witch. She isn't all stern, she is maternal. She isn't just wise, she is fun and she appreciates a little mischief. She is powerful, there is no doubt. Unlike the other truly powerful characters in this series, she never flaunts it, never claims it, never acts on it. But when that wand comes out, everyone knows they better get up out the way because McGonagall is a BADASS. 

     





^ Fucking THIS

After all this time? Always.

Believe it or not, this post is not about Alan Rickman, although I am still unbelievably upset about....you know what, actually...first, moment of silence because dammit, we lost an incredible actor and an amazing person. 



Now, what I was intending to begin with....

Even after all these years. And it has been quite a few. I am still hella bugged about scenes that were left out of the films. Like...there were some damn important things. And scenes that were cut in the final edits that I NEED. #PotterisLife #Always

No I will never stop making Potter posts. 

Are you telling me Rory is a Timelord??

So, Legends of Tomorrow also premiered and I have this to say...

#SPOILERALERT 

Are you seriously telling me that Rory went on from being a companion to the Doctor to being...a time traveler...in a trenchcoat rather similar to Ten's...and he even one upped the Doctor with EIGHT companions?? COME ON. #perfection #Ifuckingloveit



YAASSS

Like this was hot:


BUT COME ON:

This entire show is one big WTF

The new season of the 100 premiered last night. And much like every single episode of this show I have ever watched, I spent the entire time flapping my arms, going WTF and wondering if the writers are insane. You never know where this show is going, I swear. Ok, so at this point: #spoileralert WARNING WARNING WARNING SPOILERS

I've accepted at this point that my ship is not happening. Don't judge me but Bellamy and Clarke is my OTP in this particular fandom and I get it, my ship sunk before it ever really floated, don't rub it in. 



But what the hell is even happening this season? I've gotten to where now I am like...Jaha, I kind of wish you'd just...died on the Arc cuz I can see you about to cause some serious trouble with this pyscho hologram bitch. 



And I got a bone to pick with Octavia, ok? Now, I like Octavia, I do...but what the actual fuck, girl? YOU are originally from the Arc not the native groups so why you giving Lincoln shit?? He has given up everything for you and you're going to make him feel like crap for wanting to feel like a part of a group again? Getting on my nerves with that. Seriously.


And lastly...


This.... ^

Turned into this:



What the fuck is happening here....

Because Shakespeare was the first King of Sass

And I can prove it.




And then there's Much Ado About Nothing...which has some of the best lines in all of Shakespeare:
“When I said I would die a bachelor, I did not think I should live till I were married.”


“Love me!... Why?”


“I can see he's not in your good books,' said the messenger.'No, and if he were I would burn my library.”

I'm talking to you, Gods of Egypt

And for that matter, DC writers who made Kufu (based of an actual Egyptian pharaoh btw!) as light skinned as possible -___ wtf, guys? I notice the slaves and commoners in Gods of Egypt are darker skinned but I can't help noticing all the Gods are WHITE as hell. I love Egyptian mythology. I mean, I'm an Anthro major whose specialty is Ancient Civ, so naturally, I do, so you know...I'd kind of like to see my Egyptian Gods portrayed like EGYPTIANS. And the last time I checked, Egypt was still in AFRICA...



Speaking of being an Anthro major, here's a little science for you. Egypt is closer to the equator than say, England. So guess what? Ancient Egyptians, though not as dark as perhaps some other countries in Africa, would have had DARK SKIN because people that white living in Africa would have been BRIGHT RED FROM ALL THE BURNS THEY GOT FROM WEARING SO LITTLE DAMN CLOTHING, which of course they were wearing because it's FUCKING HOT IN AFRICA. 

Come on, Eros, are you on a coffee break?

The truth has been spoken. My grandmother has this idea that women are nothing if they are single, that we are defined by being in a relationship. The last time I saw her she hissed at my friend behind my back, "look how fat she's gotten, it's because she got dumped." *^* wtf, grandma...

All up on my Soapbox Tonight

I know I am like, all about blog entries tonight, so sue me. But I keep thinking of shit I should have blogged over the last like...year O.o

So, that soapbox I be standing on.


I promise I have never met one woman who would EVER consider tampons, pads, feminine wipes, etc a fucking luxury. The idea that there is a "luxury" tax on feminine products pisses me off SO. MUCH. Like think about it for a second...if an organ in a man's body RIPPED open, started bleeding, making him bloated and cramping and craving and achey and cranky, he'd go running, crying to the hospital. We do that shit EVERY MONTH while taking care of our kids, going to work, cleaning the house, doing the grocery shopping, going to school, and a thousand thousand other things and then...you want to charge us extra for the shit we need to for that? The menstrual cycle isn't a choice, boo, it's a fucking biological curse that, btw...women take on so all you conservative old white men could be fucking born. 

THIS RIGHT HERE

FUCKING THIS....

I'm a Hawk again!

Not a literal hawk, of course, but I am going back to school, where we happen to be the Hawks lol. Back in college. Again. Been at it six years now. It's an artsy semester for me.



I have African Art, one of the last classes I have for my Art History degree. Aside from the legit art classes. Since apparently they are unaware that if I could do any kind of decent art, I'd be an artist not an Art History minor!





Then there's poetry workshop as in I get to write lots of poems and then let my classmates critique them. I don't even like showing my friends for fear of judgement, so this ought to be interesting. 




Then there's World Music lol. So it's an artsy semester. People underestimate the workload in artsy classes. They assume they're easy. They're not easy. You memorize a thousand paintings, who did them, where they were done, the year they were done in and then a thousand musicians and songs and write a thousand poems on demand...then come talk to me.
