#Fictional women

[idle-teen28]

Loving a fictional character is like marriage

You fall for the character, become obsessed with them to the point where you think that they're the only fictional character you've ever loved, like if they were real, you'd marry them in a heart beat

Then you fall for a new fictional character while still being obsessed with the current one, it feels like an affair, but you accidentally became too obsessed with the new one, so you start to ignore the current one slowly, until you completely ignore them, and start to focus on the new one, falling for them now, it's like divorce and remarriage

The cycle continues until you have at least 10 fictional characters

Then you remember your previous fictional crush that you were obsessed with 2 years ago, and then you fall for them again, and become obsessed with them like you used to, it's like falling in love and marrying your ex-spouse again

And then you break-up

And the cycle continues like this, FOREVER

My favourite game to play in fandom spaces is the age old "is this female character actually awful or is she just a) outspoken, b) not designed to be palatable to a male audience, or c) the canon female love interest of a male character more popularly shipped with another man?"

Can't fix her, but I can definitely fuck her

You can only answer with a fictional woman, if you're not sure if they count maybe pick a different character. You may choose an oc but of so please specify why you have classified them as such, thanks!

It would be nice if you could reblog for reach and put the character and status in the tags but don't feel pressured

Sorry to all girlbosses but I hate the ‘woman is physically stronger than man’ trope. A trained woman will lose to a trained man 9 times out of 10. More so an untrained one. And trained men is who most of these strong female girlbosses are fighting in their circumstances. They wanted to portray strong female characters and chose the most direct way and the most blunt strength disparity between men and women and just started lying with it. Instead of exploring all the ways in which women irl may be as strong or stronger than men. And now I meet real untrained women who genuinely believe that they could take a man on in a fight. It takes exactly one fight, even play, with a grown guy to realise that it’s not true, and that if such a situation becomes real, you should run. I hate this trope with my whole heart because 1) it’s partly responsible for giving women dangerous delusions and 2) instead of exploring interesting power dynamics it just shows unrealistic and unfulfilling situations in which strength is taken at its most basic. Dumb and annoying.

I love it when fictional women finally lose their calm and finally decide to listen to their rage and dance along with it. Its every girl's wildest dream but its also something that can only happen in fiction because in reality, whenever a woman tries to express herself. She's hysterical. Hysterical and Wrong. Liar, overreacting and just bit 'always on the edge'

Can I ask your top 5 women in fiction?

I've been thinking about this one and it's hard because I don't naturally rank things or have favorites. I'm not that consistent. So I present: "The top 5 fictional women I've been quite fond of in the past few years, in no particular order".

Jill Valentine (from Resident Evil) - What a fucking babe. Good-hearted, brave, strong as hell. I feel like something that especially endears her to me is that her experiences in the game feel really representative of the violence women experience in real life, but not literally because most of us aren't being stalked by a leather clad zombie man or put under literal mind control. Symbolically, though? Yeah. (Please note, I haven't played any of the Resident Evils. I just watch cut scene compilations/ cinematic play throughs because I like the characters and the stories 😅 I can't hold an intelligent conversation about actual gameplay)

Mikasa Ackerman - Obviously haha. What I love about her is that she's the strong silent type, she's a little socially awkward, a little bit of a bitch, but she is also caring and a protector in her quiet way. Still waters run deep, and I feel like people who think Mikasa is boring or a one note character simply aren't paying attention to her (or reading the manga). She's subtle. She doesn't demand attention. But her actions show that she is more than just a girl with a crush. She's not your typical FMC and that's what I love most about her.

Donna Noble - What a queen. I loved that she was kinda basic and absolutely unspectacular and how her adventures with the Doctor didn’t make her change as a person, they just made her more fully herself. She let go a lot of the silly shit that she was using to fill the emptiness in her life and let her natural kindness and empathy fill those places instead. She was the salt of the earth and so perfectly human. I miss her and I wish she’d had a longer run with the Doctor. I’m only on Peter Capaldi right now and I heard she comes back briefly later, so I’m going off her time with 10 here. She was my favorite companion, though. She deserved more episodes and more screen time during her final arc.

Rei Ayanami - Don’t get me wrong. I also like Asuka. But what I like about Rei is that she seems to be in a chronically dissociative state and constantly questioning who she is and what her place is in the world. I also like that she’s suicidal and lonely and trying to find a way to feel connected. I like that she struggles to see herself as a person because she has always been treated as a commodity and replaceable (and she literally is replaceable - that’s got to be a mindfuck). I’m having a hard time describing my perception of how women with mental illnesses tend to be treated in media, but I appreciate that Rei’s issues are treated neutrally in the anime. We don’t need to baby her about it, and we don’t need her to have a moment of clarity that turns her into a boss babe right at the end. (spoilers: yes, in the end she does turn against Gendo in what could be considered a boss babe moment, but it doesn’t really count because it was a result of her switching her slavish devotion to Shinji, who wanted different things. Also, in helping Shinji she got to commit suicide, which is what she wanted all along). 

Also, we are birthday twins, which makes her very precious to me as well.

I’ve been on the fence about who to choose for this last one! So I’m just going to offer up the names of the contenders and if anyone wants to know more about why I like them, feel free to ask!

Yor Forger

Katniss Everdeen

Elphaba Thropp (I’m reading the book right now)

I didn’t put Akane Tendo because, even though I’m a Rankane shipper and I love her and will defend her to the last breath, I feel more of an affinity with Ukyo Kuonji as a character. But Ukyo is not a standout favorite of mine, so I don’t feel right putting Akane above her? Even though I have a lot more to say about Akane than Ukyo? I don’t know. It’s weird. It feels weird to put her on the list but also not to mention her. So I guess Akane Tendo is the Honorable Mention? 

I 100% put too much thought into this but it was fun, so thank you for the ask!

Having a taste on fictional women is difficult when your crushes are divided in:

Life action Fictional characters;

3D fictional characters;

2D fictional characters;

This is a pt2 of this post, and yes; i have more female crushes than male crushes 🥲, also, these are not the only crushes i have, these are just a few, the same goes for the male crushes 😌

[i-chew-on-pushpins]

I saw @starfoozle do this & was fascinated by the clear throughline so now i wanna play & see if that's also evident in mine? (Some of these are girls, not adult women, but I feel like it still counts.)
