I love Kerry, love Scandal so I'm super happy that she's getting recognition.

The Emmys track record for poc is just shameful, especially considering that they have categories of six nominees. Then again I guess it's a reflection of the shameful state of the industry in general.

Oh my god, why am I so thrilled to see you on ontd_p

ms_mmelissa July 18 2013, 21:41:59 UTC

Who, me?

LOL but I've been posting on and off here for years, bb!

ladypolitik July 18 2013, 21:55:46 UTC

*blink*

Smh.

*takes old lady pills*

There are some lj folks who I always associate with one comm over all others so in my head you've always been OhNoTheyDidnt Family first and foremost for some reason LOL I guess because that's where I actively see ya the most lately.

And ngl, Im also sorta freshly obsessed with Scandal so yeah, there was just a strange fandom ladyboner from seeing Scandal fandom ppl discussing Scandal on _P as well. :)

ms_mmelissa July 18 2013, 22:02:01 UTC

Haha, yeah I do post on the mothership way more often than _P. And welcome to the dark side of being obsessed with Scandal. OBSESSED!

Have you joined scandaltv yet? It's kind of dead now, but OMG the live episode discussions will KILL you once the season starts rolling. It's hilarious and we kind of all collectively hate on Fitz and pray for his demise each ep.

ladypolitik July 18 2013, 22:05:33 UTC

"OBSESSION" = UNDERSTATEMENT.

I was not even aware of scandaltv up until this moment so........................

LMAO, added you. ;)

And girl, you are going to fit right in once the new season starts. THIS SHOW IS LIKE CRACK AND I NEED IT TO COME BACK, DAMNIT.

ladypolitik July 18 2013, 23:47:23 UTC

THANKS BB :) IM GENUINELY THRILLED there's there a safe haven to be obsessed AND with other people LMFAO.

I need to come around more. I mostly live tumblr as ScandalousMusings, but my hate for Fitz is serious business.

fishphile July 18 2013, 22:26:05 UTC

You watch Scandal? Yay, maybe this can turn into a semi-Scandal post too.

What are your Scandal thoughts? I wanna know.

ladypolitik July 18 2013, 23:46:14 UTC

YAS!

fishphile July 19 2013, 00:09:23 UTC

So how did you like Scandal? What did you hate? *chin in hands*

ladypolitik July 19 2013, 01:19:24 UTC

Omg gurl where to begin LOL

Right off the bad I have an intense LOVE/HATE thing for Pope/Fitz because UGHHH DA SEX SCENE; BLESSES BE. But ew, I hate how possessive he is and cringe how she just relents even after she makes a MASSIVE stand ("IF YOU WANT ME, EARN ME!" Ugh, I totally standing ovation'd LOL ( ... )

fishphile July 19 2013, 02:13:41 UTC

The first season I was about all things Olitz. Kerry and Tony's chemistry is off the charts. Even the second season after Treegate and Elevatorgate where I slipped off the train, I have to admit they make it look so good ( ... )
