#Girlboss (derogatory)

[itspileofgoodthings]

No one knows that Saruman is a girlboss and that’s what makes him so funny.

This took a long time (and the quiz itself is long), but after so many years of observing toxic femininity on Hellsite, I'm finally able to give a name to this type of woman.

And yes, many of these questions were based on real posts on this site plus real life experience.

dc with female characters is like they either fade into obscurity or remain long enough to be turned into a girlboss.

when I said Aya / Pony used rough speech in JP version of the original AnWL… this is what i mean. when asking what Rock’s doing here she calls him a comically rude pronoun (キサマ/貴様) that has a very shonen anime enemies/ rivals sort of feeling

this is the correct dialogue option to increase his hearts btw!! he is, as usual, unfazed & all smiles that you’re talking to him. the other option is just telling him “go home”.

Porter and Vega and the font is being shit at communication

arya is gaslight because wearing faces is what all the cool kids do these days, sansa is gatekeep because maybe have you ever considered arya’s needlework just had bad vibes, and dany is girlboss because she worked her way up the corporate ladder (horse girl intern to dragon ceo)

The chicken, emotionally unmoved, has made a home in one of his bushes.

Eric watches the bird make its way over to the bushes by his fence and he follows after it in a panic, watching it disappear into the shrubbery. As he tries to fish it out of the bush, he hears the telltale upper-crust trill of Mrs. Sue Perfect from behind the fence that separates their houses. He turns to see her peering over the fence, thoroughly amused by what she sees.

"Eriiiic, how aaart thouuuu!" She greets him, "Doth mine eyes deceiveth me, or was that yet another farm animal galavanting about your premises?" Sue clicks her tongue in her usual patronizing manner, "My goodness! Let us both pray your lovely ex-wife doesn't learn of your new little hobby! She may stage a revolt with some of her ecologically-concerned compatriots! Ooooh, I can just see the picket line now!"

So could Eric.

"Aaah-ha-ha! No, no, n-not a hobby, no! It..ah..it must have gotten loose someplace and wandered over here! You know those suburban London chicken farmers! Making their problems everyone else's! Ha ha!"

The bird squawks loudly behind Eric, and he shrieks in surprise.

"Mmmm, yes. Well, I do hope for both our sakes that you find that poor bird's owner posthaste!"

so i made an emisuba playlist and a reinsuba playlist (to cover the full range of EVERY flavor of emisuba and reinsuba across the different ifs and routes) and the fact that hellfire from hunchback of notre dame is in both playlists says so much about pride if subaru

nothing but respect to the Sastiel girlies but every time they team up and hang out it feels like Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono hugging at the 1994 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame John Lennon Induction Ceremony.

Playing wargroove 2 and it’s just as fun as the first plus there’s a buff non-binary rat who was unethically experimented on so they’re obviously my favorite and there’s froggies and you can ride cats instead of horses, and there’s a lot of accessibility options which is super appreciated. Besides having multiple sliding difficulty scales, there’s also an option to reduce screen shake/flashing and vibration (a godsend for me), color blindness filters, and even monaural audio which is weirdly rare to come across. My only frustrations are that there’s a bit of wonk to it, there’s some minor typos and layout jank in the codex (which of course I continuously pore over), there’s some frequent but not overly annoying glitches when the enemy does their turn of the screen focusing on a random part of the map away from the action or pulling up menus you didn’t want to look at, and lastly I’m just bummed there’s no toggle like in fire emblem to see the maximum move/attack range of the enemy army. I saw some people complaining it would make it too easy but to me it’s just a way to save time, instead of going back and forth checking and double checking to make sure I don’t accidentally step a tile too far.

Anyway my only other comment is I’m going to kill pistil I’m going to grab her by her tail and dangle her over a pool you are my enemy you nasty vermin!!!

[itspileofgoodthings]

this won’t make sense but Saruman is a girlboss.

[samaspic31]

what he says: i’m fine

what he means: the first despicable me movie was explicitly about gru and his daughters becoming an unconventional family unit and fighting overwhelming odds AND their own fears in order to remain with each without without sacrificing anyone’s freedom and individuality as cishet nuclear family structure usually requires. Right ? Right. And then you have the sequel that uncritically considers gru being a single parent as something to fix, has gru suffering under amatonormativity, never once questioning the asssumption he should have a partner to feel complete, and by the end, that family is as close to the epitome of the hegemonic stereotype of a patriarchal family as it can get with adopted children, thanks to heterosexual marriage, yay, and that’s without even talking about the capitalistic implications in the despicable me universe -

@viciousgold // ❛ I need danger, a hunt, a challenge. ❜ for Vera

"Ah, a hunt. I see." Amusement rings in Vanya's voice like a bell, jarringly cherubic in the sterile, vantablack-silence of the mortuary. There's nary a living soul to be found in the vicinity, she knows, the end of a work week underpinned by a marked standstill. There is only Marisa, fascinating Marisa, in all her straight-backed, regal glory and her terribly loud heartbeat ricochetting off the lime wash walls like a distant calling drum.

She's been careful to toe the line of professionalism until now, far be it from the from her first time entertaining a guest in her little white box, but the lazy river of conversation's flowed into uncharted waters. As rule of thumb the vampire tries to put less levity on matters of business than of pleasure. Yet the line's been toed. She slips her rubber gloves off daintily, wondering, idle, if she should cross it. Why do people always say such things as if into the universe or to some idle god... Never an outright invitation, always a plea to the world at large. Perhaps Marisa's need isn't hers to fulfill. But there are no idle gods here. There's just her.

"Ok, I will bite. You want a hunt," Vanya says, curiously, into the bleached, acrid air. "...and in this, do you seek to be the hunter or the hunted?"

I find it fascinating (derogatory) how the general fandom conversation has shifted from "this woman is getting in the way of our gay ship and she's USELESS and ANNOYING and WE DON'T LIKE HER!" to this weird "no actually she's just not involved in her own relationships because she's too cool and special and awesome and a girlboss". But the problem is that there's not actually a veritable difference there. People still aren't engaging with her as a fully-fledged character. Like sure man calling her a girlboss is fine it's whatever but let that lead somewhere else. Engage with her. Can you actually name any of her character traits or are you just blindly praising her so that you can focus on shipping the guys in the background without feeling bad about it

Opinions on Laerryn are resurging and oh the agony, the urge to gatekeep
