8 Reasons Why We Love Titus Andromedon

Netflix's "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" describes a woman, Kimmy Schmidt played by Ellie Kemper, who is reduced from a doomsday cult and starts life over again in New York City. Kimmy's roommate Titus Andromedon, played by Broadway veteran Tituss Burgess, is our broadway-diva-spirit-animal who suffers wardrobe malfunctions, audition struggles, and occasionally a little cultural misappropriation. He reminds us that you don’t actually have to be in a show to sing on Broadway. Between his uncensored, witty remarks to his desperate desire to become famous, Titus embodies what we all try to strive for, recognition and success! So, in an unabashed celebration of Titus and all of his glory, here are 8 reasons why we love Titus Andromedon!

1. Titus doesn't need a costume designer to showcase his fabulous style

From a "Baby Slut" t-shirt in public to his silk robe at home, Titus has become a style icon that everyone looks up to. The one lesson that we have learned is Titus' wardrobe can double as pajamas, which exemplifies what every person wants to achieve in life. Titus certainly knows how to pull off an outfit no one else — literally no one else — can.

2. Titus is a realistic.

What we admired the most about Titus is his ability to be a realistic (when he wants to be) when it applies to his career and life choices. Titus teaches us that when you're honest with yourself, you can achieve endless possibilities and there is another play out there waiting for you.

3. Titus is a deep, loyal friend - despite sometimes being a bad friend.

Titus is a true friend who listens to Kimmy's interesting yet distrurbing intimate details of her life when no one else wants to hear about it. Kimmy and Titus certainly have some ups and downs over the course of the series, but they always patch things up in the end.


4. Two Words: Pinot Noir

"Pinot Noir, leather bar, oh-so-close and yet so far." We'll never forget how Titus created his own song and music video, with the help of Lillian, for Pinot Noir. Titus personally turned the words Pinot Noir from a red wine to a cultural phenomenon.

5. Titus is the master of seduction.

When it comes to finding love, Titus is a planner. How could you not fall in love with someone you're sexual attracted to when his plan of seduction includes dressing up as a farmer shuking corn? Titus has learned the masterful art of incorporating costumes and props to get what he wants.

6. Titus has a hard time dealing with problems just like us.

When it comes to dealing with life's problems or making hard decisions, Titus just *gets* us. Raise your hand if this has been you at least one time in your life.

7. Titus is in tune with his emotional side.

Titus has a wide range of emotions - sometimes that range presents itself at the most opportune moment. When that moment arrives, Titus unleashes his glorious, emotional rant that leaves us wanting more!

8. Titus is willing to go the extra (and super weird) mile to get a role on Broadway.

FIVE SIX SEVEN EIGHT! When he auditions for a roles on Broadway, he always puts his own Titus spin on the show and auditions. Do you remember his infamous "sambaing" audition for "The Lion King?" Or, the time when he auditioned for "Hamilton," which resulted in a rap, rap, rappity, rap nightmare?

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
