I'm super excited about this week's Top Ten Tuesday. Right now we need role models of strong women in our society that seems pretty set on being sexist. As a feminist I think it's important to have women be in strong roles that are available to everyone. I think it's awesome to read a book with a bad-ass female character. or see a show where women are portrayed as strong and capable. So here's my list of bad-ass, amazing, strong heroines!

1. Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series. I love Hermione, she's amazing, strong, and capable. I love to be her best friend. The reason I picked her as my number one is because she's smart and she's the reason the Harry Potter and Ron survive any of the numerous problems they encounter. Hermione is strong. When Ron left, she stuck with Harry, She might not be the type of girl to get into fights or make a scene,instead she's strong and awesome in a quieter way, but none the less pretty bad-ass. I mean one of my favorite scenes is when she punches Draco Malfoy.

2. Clarke Griffin from The 100. I read the book and loved her. I watch the show and she's even MORE amazing. If you aren't watching this show, you are doing a disservice to yourself. Anyways... Clarke is honestly amazing. She's only two years older than me and is thrust into a new world into a war she never wanted. She has to navigate and often time sacrifice bits and pieces of her to win the war. I honestly respect her so much. She's also kind, and sweet, and always willing to do right by the people she loves. 

3. Regina from Once Upon a Time. She's one of my favorite characters and she's also one of the most bad-ass on the show. She kind of is this force of nature. Sometimes she could be evil and sometimes she was just beautiful and strong. No matter what life has thrown her way she has grown and become a better person while becoming a bastion of strength for a lot for a lot of the characters on the show. 

4. Kasta from Graceling. All her life she has been misjudged and ostracized and treated terribly. Yet she over comes everything to see the good in herself and even other people. She's also a great fighter, a master with any weapon, and overall bad-ass. 

5. Tris Prior from Divergent. Because I mean come on she's just fucking amazing. Like she's bad-ass, awesome and just like Clarke she's willing to do what it takes to win the war and protect her loved ones. She's overcome so much it's hard to not see her as this pillar of awesomeness and strength.

6. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She's just awesome. I wish I could be as bad ass as her!

7. Mary from Reign. I mean being a queen is hard work. I love her so much. I love how she's putting others first and how now she's done being a ploy and a chess piece. In a time that is much harsher to women than men, I love how Mary always is independent, regal, and strong

.

8. Hazel Grace Lancaster from The Fault in Our Stars. Strength is more than just a physical thing, it's also a mental and emotional thing. Hazel might not be physically strong and be able to take down anyone, be she is filled with strength and capability beyond what normal people have. She faces death and she's okay with that. There's something to be said about her strength in the face of everything she's gone through.

9. Tally Youngblood from The Uglies Series.This girl has bounced back from everything. She's not an awesome person, she's a revolutionary. I love her because she's flawed yet always willing to fix the messes she makes for herself. She's exceptionally smart and strong in both the mental way and the physical way. 

10. Lilo from Lilo and Stitch. This is probably my favorite Disney movie. I will admit it has made me cry, it still makes me cry, I mean how can you not be upset when Stitch takes the story book stands in the middle of the woods saying "I'm lost" so that his family will find him? Anyways... I love Lilo she's weird and quirky but oh so amazing. She's different and doesn't have very many friends but she doesn't let that stop her from doing things that make her happy. I honestly love her so much.

Don't Forget to enter my giveaway! Happy Tuesday

DFTBA,

Netflix Obessions

Hello people of the internet! It's Tuesday and the only thing i've been wanting to do all day is curl up into a ball on my bed surrounded by junk food and binge watching netflix all day. But because of school that is essentially impossible. Saturday can't come soon enough! So because i've been thinking of netflix all day I'd thought I'd share some of my favorite shows with you lovely folks!

The Blacklist. I started watching this show this weekend, and I'm already in love with the show! Its soo good. It's action packed mixed with real life stuff. So it's about this con man guy who turns himself into the FBI to help catch people on his "Black list", thing is they only person he'll talk to is Elizabeth Keene, who is a total bad-ass by the way.

Grey's Anatomy. I love this show so much! I started watching this before I stared high school. I love the quirky humor, the drama, the craziness. It's just awesome. For those of you who don't know about this show, it's about Meredith Grey's life starting with her internship, and it follows her as well as her friends on the show as well.

Gossip Girl. Who doesn't love a little bit of drama? I'm in high school, I like shows and books about crazy high school people. So naturally i started watching this show. Despite my initial doubts about this show, it's actually grown on me, surprisingly enough. It's basically about these teens that come from elite families and their drama and lives.

Doctor Who. Because how can I not love this show. This was on another post of mine which you can check out here. I love this show so much! I know i'm late on the Doctor Who fandom train, but i'm so glad i'm on it. It's such an amazing show, i cannot recommend this enough. I evem got my older brother into it! So for those of you who don't know about this show, it's about this guy, The Doctor, who is able to time travel and help people. He takes various people with him on his adventures.

Once Upon A Time. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW SEASON TO AIR!!! Lately, in preparation for the new season i've been watching a lot of old episodes. I honestly can say this is one of my favorite shows ever. It's got everything you could ever want :drama, romance, cuteness, action, magic, and badassery. If you haven't given this show a chance I highly recommend it! I don't think i can accurately explain this show without giving away spoilers sorry! This show makes me so happy! I can't even tell you how much I love this show!!!

 So what are your netflix obsessions? What shows do you recommend?
