#also if you can spot my type based on the women here. shut up ( lighthearted )

[hustling-starley]

(( hey hey, thanks for tagging me! this was definitely difficult, since there's a lot of women in different media that i love, but these were the first that came to mind! ))

Daisy and Rosalina ( Super Mario series ) (( i figured since they're from the same series, it's only fitting that they'd share a spot. daisy is and will forever be my main in the spin offs, because her brash and unapologetic, energetic personality was absolutely endearing to me. the way she's so expressive even without much dialogue was what caught my interest, and how proudly she wears being a tomboy on her sleeve, while also being a princess. ))

(( rosalina, on the other hand, may or may not have been mun's first crush when they were a wee baby. her reserved, but soothing demeanor definitely stood out amongst a cast known for being more emotive. plus, her kindness and maternal attitude towards the lumas, even going so far as to sacrifice herself to cursa in the rabbids game... and her VOICE?? bestill my weak sapphic heart... But her backstory too, the way that it fuels her actions and her resolve, even if she's more quiet is just so. chef's kiss ))

2. Eve ( No Straight Roads ) (( this is mun telling you to go play no straight roads RIGHT NOW!!! it's SO GOOD. and eve. oh my god, it's unreal that it's been 5 years since the game came out, and she's still stuck in my mind. the way that being a music artist to her is about coming to terms with her identity, with her place in the world and trying desperately to find other people to connect with, in spite of her hatred for herself and her envy towards them. the way she latches onto zuke, only to end up hurting him in the end and not understanding why. and then in the end, learning that the only one who can complete eve, is eve herself. also... devs said she's demisexual SO WE WIN!!! such a fascinating character and the boss whose track i have listened to the most from the OST ))

3. Kobeni Higashiyama ( Chainsaw Man ) (( ohhh my god. okay. honestly i do not watch enough anime/read enough manga as it is, but i'm so glad i decided to give chainsaw man a chance. like all of the women in chainsaw man are well-written and compelling, but i think kobeni resonated with me the most, because i can definitely relate to/understand her struggles with her family. the way she can go from screaming her lungs out to shy but eager, to remorseful and tired, the whole range is just so lovely. she's arguably the most "normal" of the cast, and even then, she's extraordinarily resilient. i still watch that one fight scene with her constantly. and the scene in the manga where she says life is about having those bad days alongside the good ones? OOOH. not to mention... getting a cameo from her english dub VA still has me on cloud NINE. i love her so bad <3 ))

4. Pomni ( The Amazing Digital Circus ) (( this is a really funny one to put after kobeni BUT LIKE. in all seriousness, i love pomni so bad. the way she is both so anxious and yet so pragmatic in spite of how alien this entire world is to her. the way she can be so blunt and lose her temper at times feels so human, and it's so understandable given how torn she is between leaving the circus and actually staying to connect with the people there. and SPEAKING of connection, the way she still has that kindness to her, in spite of her reservations about everything, with how she's approached gummigoo, her listening to kinger and respecting him more even after the Horrors of the manor, and how that small act of kindness she offers gangle is all she needs to earn a spot in that friendship circle. she's so well-done, and i cannot wait to see how she evolves from here, especially with the show's themes about existentialism. ))

5. Megurine Luka ( Vocaloid/Project Sekai ) (( ANOTHER ONE of baby's first woman crushes before they knew what gay people were. honestly she's been my favorite vocaloid ever since i saw her design and heard her voice, and the way that she was able to surpass hatsune miku herself? the way she challenged that status quo, how that sort of rivalry with miku evolved into the two of them singing one of the most iconic sapphic vocaloid songs ever? "magnet" my beloved... her older, yet gentle voice... "double lariat", "luka luka night fever", "just be friends", "palette", "black gold", "blackjack", "lie", and my god. my GOD EVEN her cover of "thousand year solo" or that "suki kirai" cover she has with miku. i love her so bad, and i love her more mysterious yet prideful personality that she's usually depicted with. ))

6. Amy Rose ( Sonic The Hedgehog Series ) (( yet another from when i was young, and one that i hold a lot of fond memories of. i still remember watching through her entire gameplay route in the first sonic adventure, or watching through her story in sonic battle when i was little. the way she's so unbashedly feminine, yet that doesn't take away from her importance to the story nor diminish her character. she's like the embodiment of love, how passionate it is, how it can lead to rage if scorned, and how it can save people the way it does in sonic adventure 2. hell, even in sonic frontiers, where she decides that she wants to share that love with more people, even if it takes her far away from sonic. the way she never gives up, even if she doesn't have the kinds of powers that sonic, shadow, knuckles, or even tails do. she's a gal with a big heart! and she's not gonna let steer her off course. LOVE this girlie ))

7. Mukuro Ikusaba ( Danganronpa Series ) (( ALRIGHT LISTEN. before you look at me funny. do i like the way she's depicted in titles like danganronpa zero and especially danganronpa 3? absolutely not, they make me uncomfortable. do i still think she's an amazing character when done and explored well, which was beautifully demonstrated by danganronpa IF? yeah, absolutely! to me, ikusaba is a starving wolf who latches on to anyone who shows her any ounce of attention/affection, devoting herself completely to them to feel like she has any worth. you see the two different paths this can lead her down, whether it be the canon route where she's unable to escape enoshima's shadow, or the IF route where she begins to look for a new path for herself, thanks to naegi's influence. it's the way she doesn't really feel passionately about hope or despair, but she ends up being drawn to hope anyway, because it's the path that allows her to actually consider what she wants for a change. where ikusaba gets to connect with people who consider her a friend, and not a tool above all else. ( man. the similarities between her and pekoyama that could've been explored AAAHGH ) this isn't to say enoshima didn't care about her, but only when the ties between her and ikusaba are severed does ikusaba finally begin to live life like it's hers. also she's fucking cool as hell. i love those moments where you can tell she's got a bit of pride in her skills as a soldier, or her softer, more caring side around naegi and her sister. also shiropro collab THANK YOU for giving us new art of her ))

8. Marina Ida/Agitando ( Splatoon series ) (( GODS. where do i even start. it's her design, it's her amazing voice, it's her bond with pearl and how affectionate she is with her both on and off the air. the way she still thinks fondly of her peers and her boss back in the underground army. the way she is EXTREMELY tech savvy yet is also canonically a sucker for sapphic shoujo manga. everything to do with her involvement in side order. the little innuendos. the way she gets so passionate about machinery and how excited she is when she's with pearl. THE DIARIES FROM SIDE ORDER. GO PLAY/WATCH SIDE ORDER. love this silly octopus woman ))

9. Monika ( Doki Doki Literature Club ) (( it has been almost 8 years of constantly rotating this game in the back of my mind, and ESPECIALLY thinking about monika. i love all of the dokis for different reasons, but when i think of doki doki literature club, i know for a fact it would not be as successful in the way it tells its story ( both the main one and side stories from plus ) without monika. the way she struggles with her epiphany, latching onto the closest thing to reality while wrestling with her conflicting feelings about her world and the other girls. the way she cares about them yet feels so disconnected from them. even her official twitter where she posts those images of everyone hanging out together. it's absolutely bittersweet, and "your reality" is still such a gem of a song that ties everything together. monika you will always be famous <3 ))
