#every time she sasses Zidane I gain 40 years on my life

[createandconstruct]

I've been playing the game FFIX over again, and it surprises me how soft people make Garnet in her artwork with Zidane. The girl can be really sassy and savage at times. Yes she blames herself a lot, but she also doesn't take shit either. This is the same girl who's been training to escape and tricked everyone in eating sleeping weed. I think people forget how badass she really is.

Oh my friend. You are so right and you should say it. My girl Garnet til Sarah Dagger Alexandros XVII is a badass, sassy, savage, legend.

"Perish Zidane" Counter: 1

Just casually trains to be a three-time gold medal gymnast in her free time. She also doesn't need Zidane's flirting complaints/banter. She's got places to be and corrupt monarch-mothers to stop.

Garnet: Lol yeah I know I'm good now where's my Oscar *proceeds to dramatically pretends to die on stage so well that Brahne sobs and Steiner actually legitimately mourns her*

Princess with zero patience for her knight. They go way back. She's been sassing him for years and you know it.

Absolutely ZERO tolerance for mainsplaining. My queen.

You know homegirl was tuning him out.

Runs after Vivi and then proceeds to physically DRAG HIM out of danger

(Honestly this entire scene is just Garnet dragging him)

.

That's all just some of Disc 1. It barely even scratches the surface of the badassery and sass of Queen Garnet til Alexandros XVII.

My beloved Dagger is feminine, cute, AND she doesn't take shit from anyone. She's got an edge and a sassy tongue on her. She can be soft and kind but tough as nails when necessary. She's amazing and one of my favorite characters.

It's such a disservice to female characters when one aspect of their character becomes a hyperfocus. Usually taking away their depth and reducing them to a stereotype or one-dimension. Garnet loves Zidane, she loves her friends, she loves her people, and her kingdom. She's romantic, she loves reading, Lord Avon's plays, and she can oh idk summon god-forsaken monsters that will suck you into the abyss and she will then simply smile at you and spin her staff and swish her cute short hair while she earns that sick AP. I love her and I would let her kick my ass. So would Zidane. So would everyone. So should you.
