ok i KNOW its 8 am but: i really hope margot gets super buff this season. like it has to happen at some point thats like arguably the most important part of the books margot needs to get fuckinng swoll

Ok, I’m just gunna go through a list of reasons why I think this is not cool. I’m sorry if you think this is blunt and I’m angry I just think this kind of thing needs to be nipped in the bud ASAP. 

• What a woman looks like is NOT important to her character at all. 
• It is SUPER dangerous to an actors health to ask them to do that with time constraints, unless Isabelle wants to do so and knows how to do so safely it should not happen. 
• Isabelle’s ability to perform the role should not be dictated by her body type.
• There is a grey area over Margot in the book concerning how much of it is due to trauma and abuse, with homophobic and transphobic elements the show isn’t going to keep because they are views written in, and belong in, the 20th century.

So no, I’m not hoping Margot gets super buff, I don’t think anyones body type is in any way important or vital to the story and I think it completely disregards the hard work Isabelle puts in to the role. I don’t know if you’ve tried to support women with your statement but I think if you did it’s hugely backfired.

I’ve never seen anyone criticise Mads for not looking like book description Hannibal so why are we asking this of Katherine?
