Delilah Clark: Photographer
While Delilah loves photography, she’s only a student and would probably have worked part-time in Honeydukes after graduating Hogwarts. But, if she became a photographer, she’d take pictures for Muggles and every so often add in a moving picture to try and make people smile.

Louise Beavers
Tumblr media
Louise Beavers (March 8, 1900 – October 26, 1962) was an American film and television actress who appeared in dozens of films and two hit television shows from the 1920s to 1960. She played a prominent role in advancing the lives of Black Americans through her work and collaborated with fellow advocates to improve the social standing and media image of the Black population.
Beavers was born in Cincinnati, Ohio to school teacher Ernestine (Monroe) Beavers and William M. Beavers, who was originally from Georgia. Her mother's illness caused the family to move to Pasadena, California.
In Pasadena, she attended school and engaged in several after-school activities, such as basketball and church choir. Her mother also worked as a voice teacher and taught her how to sing. In 1920, Beavers graduated from Pasadena High School. She then worked as a dressing-room attendant for a photographer and served as a personal maid to film star Leatrice Joy.
Beavers' acting career began as a member of the Lady Minstrels, a group of young women who staged amateur productions and appeared on stage at the Loews State Theatre. Charles Butler, an agent for African-American actors, saw one of her early performances and recommended that she audition for a film role.
Beavers was initially hesitant to audition for film roles because of the negative portrayal of blacks in film. She once said, "In all the pictures I had seen… they never used colored people for anything except savages." However, she won a role in the film Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1927) and went on to play stereotypical black roles such as those of a slave, a mother figure, a maid or domestic servant. With Claudette Colbert in Imitation of Life (1934)
After playing the role of Julia, the maid and mother figure to a young white woman, in Coquette (1929), Beavers gained more attention for her work and was able to transition to less stereotypical roles. Beavers played Delilah in Imitation of Life (1934), again in the role of a housekeeper, but instead of the usual stereotypical comedic or purely functional role, Delilah's storyline constitutes a secondary parallel plot in which her problems are given considerable emotional gravity. Some in the media recognized the unfairness of Hollywood's double standard regarding race. A contributor to California Graphic Magazine wrote: "the Academy could not recognize Miss Beavers. She is black!"
In 1936, Beavers married Robert Clark, who later became her manager. Beavers and Clark later divorced.
Beavers played the lead role in the film Reform School (1939), once thought to be a lost film, as a forward-thinking probation officer who becomes the superintendent of a reform school and implements major changes.
In the film Holiday Inn (1942), Beavers performed a song during a minstrel show number celebrating Abraham Lincoln's birthday. Because the number features Bing Crosby and others in blackface, some consider it racially offensive and it is often excised from television screenings of the film. Lobby card for the Million Dollar Productions film Life Goes On with "Harry M. Popkin Presents Louise Beavers" logo inset
As Beavers' career grew, some criticized her for the roles that she accepted, alleging that such roles institutionalized the view that blacks were subservient to whites. Beavers dismissed the criticism, acknowledging the limited opportunities available but saying: "I am only playing the parts. I don't live them." As she became more widely known, Beavers began to speak against Hollywood's portrayal and treatment of African Americans, both during production and after promoting the films. Beavers became active in public life, seeking to help support African Americans. She endorsed Robert S. Abbott, the editor of The Chicago Defender, who fought for African-Americans' civil rights. She supported Richard Nixon, who she believed would help black Americans in the struggle for civil rights.
In 1952, Beavers married Leroy Moore, with whom she remained until her death in 1962. She had no children.
In later life, Beavers was plagued by health issues, including diabetes. She died on October 26, 1962 at the age of 62, following a heart attack, at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Los Angeles.
Beavers was inducted into the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame in 1976. She was an honorary member of the Sigma Gamma Rho sorority, one of the four African-American sororities

Now this is a fic spoiler 🤭
Without going into much detail, Alex is so happy for his mom, he thinks Clarke is great and its just a sweetheart :')
Delilah... her reaction is a little more negative, which Lexa finds weird because Delilah is crazy about Clarke, but my poor sweet girl has abandonment issues and because she has put Clarke in the same pedestal she put her other mom Jenny, she gets scared Clarke will decide to leave them too (which she would blame Lexa for as she does for her other mom leaving since Lexa was the one who filed for divorce. There's a few rough days after they make it official when Delilah acts like a little brat with Lexa, like she's expecting Lexa to screw something up and cause Clarke to leave Lexa... and her by extension)

August Monthly Recap:
I was participating in the Magical Readathon by Book Roast, so my reading this month was primarily dictated by that. I was also on vacation for a good chunk of the month, so I had lots of time to read some of the longer books that have stuck around on my TBR for a while, and ended up reading 17 books. My favorite was Monstrous Regiment, with a shoutout to Happy Place and Earth Bound.
After the Dragons by Cynthia Zhang: 3.5/5
Deep as the Sky, Red as the Sea by Rita Chang-Eppig: 3/5, dnf
Kill the Farm Boy by Delilah S. Dawson & Kevin Hearne: 1.5/5, dnf
The Monster Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson: 4.5/5
Happy Place by Emily Henry: 4.75/5
The Tyranny of Faith by Richard Swan: 4.25/5
2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke: 3.5/5
Translation State by Ann Leckie: 3.5/5
Earth Bound by Emma Barry & Genevieve Turner: 4.75/5
A Thorn in the Saddle by Rebekah Weatherspoon: 3.5/5
Mango, Mambo & Murder by Raquel V. Reyes: 3.5/5

Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett: 5/5
