lol @ Prince being an inspiration for any queer individual.



I got to say it is truly refreshing seeing a woman (especially a WOc) in the industry identity as a lesbian and not “queer”, “pan”, or “bi”.

Happy for her. And yes we need more representation!

For me it was Rhona Mitra in nip/tuck 😅😍

I forget a lot that she was Rue in that first Hunger Games but I was rewatching it recently and damn if she didn't do the most with the least.



I relate to the "getting wet" for the first time during a movie. Wild Things was that movie for me and I still have the biggest crush on 90s Neve Campbell for it and Matt Dillon is so ugly that I was genuinely confused when he came into the scene.

She's been in a lot of less blockbuster-y stuff so I guess I don't connect her younger self with her current filmography in my subconscious.

when I first watched the Hunger Games I was way more invested in the Rue/Katniss relationship than Katniss with either Peeta or Gale. I wanted Rue and Katniss to team up and take down the system



I mean I ended up liking Peeta quite a lot in the other movies but my first and favorite THG dynamic for Katniss is with Rue.

i can't ever forgot how much shit she got for being cast as rue since so many haters would say rue was supposed to be "innocent", and now she can't be if she's black.



amandla did such a good job <3

I wouldn't wish going through your teenage years as a public person on anyone, especially in this day and age with social media and everyone wanting to feel like a special snowflake so all things considered, I think she seems to be one of the good eggs. It's wonderful that she's comfortable now to be open about her sexuality, and I can only imagine how amazing it must be for lesbian teen girls, especially black girls, to have someone they can look up to. I'm rooting for her <3
