I’m pretty new to my obsession of Rafael, and he’s so talented, but I have to ask… what’s #DearAnnie? Is this a person or a figment of his imagination? I don’t know 😂

Ha, tbh I’m not entirely sure myself lol

My take is that Annie is some sort of personification of his muse?

He has used it mainly as a hashtag for his poems that he sometimes posts on instagram but also with some songs like Bad Egg. So I assumed it’s a representation of all the women he’s loved? (Or at least the title of the poetry book he promised us and I’m still waiting for…)

He’s also been using it when talking about the play, The Limp, that he has been developing for some years
(you might have seen some of the pretty singing videos he posted on instagram).

I think the success of Blindspotting might have put that on hold for a little but I’m hoping we get some news on that soon.

tl;dr It’s all connected 🤯🤯🤯

I don’t know if that really answers your question but let me know if you have any theories!

I think it’s really amazing that you take the time to always share Rafael’s pictures/videos/etc. with us on your blog 🙂 I know it must be pretty time consuming!! Thanks so much for sharing those and making them available to all of us!

Awww, you’re very welcome! I really love running this blog!
💕

And of course, I adore Rafa so that helps, too.
😆 

I want to take this moment to give a shout out to @intoxicatingimmediacy though. She has been absolutely amazing about posting the Blindspotting reviews and other things related to the movie. I couldn’t keep up with it all without her help!

BUZZFEED FUCKING LISTED RAFA AS ONE OF ITS ACTORS TO WATCH IN 2018 IM FUCKING DEAD GOODBYE THATS TOO MUCH FOR MY SOUL im so proud

“In that
climactic rap scene with Diggs, however, Casal says nothing, drawing
instead from a well of deep feeling to convey Miles’ fear and awe at
watching his friend race at the edge of his own sanity. The film simply
would not work without him.”

I HAVE A BURNING NEED TO SEE THIS MOVIE !!!

So blindspotting didnt win anything…but honestly im not even mad or disappointed or sad bc these past 10 days have been insane and theyve all made me so proud and the movie got bought bY LIONSGATE WHICH IS INCREDIBLE and i can see it doing great all throughout the states and hopefully outside of the states (🙏🙏🙏🤞🤞) and im just excited to see what this year has in store for the movie and for rafa and daveed and 2018 has already started off great

Nonny, I couldn’t have said it any better myself. This year is going to be epic!

Hey I don’t mean to be a bother or anything but I was wondering if you could help me find any good Rafa quotes about activism? My school makes us write an autobiography centered around a quote of our choice, so obviously it has to be something relating to my life. I want something activism-related since that’s a huge part of who I am, and I want a quote from Rafael because of how much I admire him as an activist. So if you know of any good quotes to choose from, that would be amazing! Thank you!

Oh that’s an awesome assignment! I’d love to immediately help but sadly enough it’s already passed midnight where I live and I have an exam tomorrow! But I’ll definitely try and find some quotes in the immediate future. Maybe someone else has a suggestion so you don’t have to wait on my European exam schedule :p

My favourite quote is definitely:

“Burn the very book

you wrote about yourself

and write it again

with all the parts you love.”

But that doesn’t have much to do with activism, does it? Or maybe about how you keep pushing and improving yourself, shedding old skin and letting go of old prejudices? But what do I know, I should go to sleep :p

I’ll definitely look into it tomorrow 🙂

Honestly if you go through the quotes tag you should find something by our favourite opinionated poet.
