Polaris 50th Anniversary Hashtag: Ideas?

Almost a week ago, I asked if there should be a Twitter hashtag made specifically for Polaris’ 50th anniversary. Eight out of ten people said yes.

Next question becomes, what hashtag is best?

My initial thought was #Polaris50. It has a handful of uses, but not enough to be a “hijacking” of a hashtag, and most recent use was January 21. I also think it’s short enough to get use. But, you’d also have to know what the hashtag means already.

@aka-vinny suggested 

#50YearsofPolaris and #Polaris50thAnniversary on the Tumblr post I made about Twitter hashtags. They have no uses yet, and they’re clearer on the purpose of the hashtag, but I feel like they might be too long.

Anyone have any thoughts about hashtags? These hashtags? Suggestions for something different?

Before I get started, I’ll admit I’ve left out (and will continue leaving out) tweets I personally don’t want to highlight. There’s some Gifted ones, and a few highlighting or talking up X-Men Blue #23, but I don’t really wanna post them. I figure someone else can if they really want.

So, tweets time. Relatively few this time.

A bunch of people asking about Lorna included in Future Fight. It’s highly reminiscent of the Marvel Legends figures, how Marvel disregarded her constantly being on the list of top 10 most wanted figures. One of many things where Lorna’s exclusions serves as a window into their low perception of her.

I know, we’re used to this fun fan imagining here on Tumblr, but it’s nice to see it on Twitter too. ❤

I absolutely agree with this person. Lorna’s generally not been allowed to be a leader, but when she’s been able to be – and in the hands of a writer that cares about her – she pulls it off well.

Although I also feel like I should say a couple things. I believe her mental issues form an important strength to her leadership. She’s had struggles, it’s given her perspective, that leads to empathy and better understanding of where members of her team stand. And, when I say mental issues, I don’t mean only mental breakdowns.

Of course, it would be wrong for that to be the only thing ever focused on. Lorna is a multifaceted character, that Marvel seems to keep holding back with a one-dimensional idea of who she is and what she can do.

That’s all I’ve got this time.
