Vision of Escaflowne is good! The dub is good! It starts out great! Great characters, main character, action and portal fantasy. But then the writers seem to forget that the main character is the main character. I think this is often a very big problem with mildly to very sexist writers: their default thought about women is that they are passive. And so it's no big deal in their minds to let them remain passive as long as the men around her are active. Letting the girl be active is like a special treat, and they assume the audience should be perfectly accepting of a passive main character if she's a girl.
#i really think this.#its a variation on the woman being powerless as standard#certainly the men in this show are geared towards girls absolutely. and i can absolutely see how girls might be pushed to focus on them and#treat the main character like a shell#i was trying to watch chinese magic shows and it was like: this woman is a magical general!! or whatever#but no she gets turned into a chicken first and is a whiny baby the whole time#because when when women are powerless thats default and not frustrating to these men/people#and a woman being powerful is a little treat maybe. no#the men are the focus of power and the female character interacts with that power - thats how women can TOUCH power in that way#anyway#anywayyy#my thoughts#voe#vidi#my stuff#i cant keep watching bc she keeps getting to do nothing - sulk - think about her love interest - and then tell boy to cheer up lol after his#home got entirely destroyed#huh???#how can i identify with her ? how can i take the character seriously???#such a good start

mina’s animal crossing adventure on totaldrama island! (graphic cred!)
mina saved up a lot for this day. with each paycheck she received after she heard the news, she kept them in her savings for the faithful day dedicated to the new console, as well as the game that she had already preordered. so when the day finally came for her to start her island journey, she was more than prepared to get it.
when she gets the package for her console, she’s ecstatic. she opens the box hurriedly and pulls out the console before she retreats to her room to start her adventure. she didn’t want to wait for her dad to help her out with setting it up on the tv because she doesn’t want her parents to walk in as she’s playing her game. knowing her mother, she’ll probably complain about how she’s doing nothing in the house but play video games like she did when mina got new leaf.
after setting everything up, linking her nintendo account, she starts the game to be introduced to her favorite twin tanukis. to quote the most inaccurate, musical adaptation of a teenager’s high school experience that became a staple in western pop culture high school musical… this was going to be the start of something new.
she couldn’t help but be a little bummed out over the fact that she got an ugly, squirrel with ugly bangs and a unibrow as her uchi villager. but she definitely was ecstatic to see genji as her starter jock. she always did like jock villagers, even if all they did was talk about working out. she knew she’d have to warm up to hazel eventually, though. besides her, fuchsia, and cherry, she personally didn’t think all the other uchi villagers were… pretty.
the game starts off with the three tanukis and mina couldn’t help but miss her favorite blonde dog, isabelle, already. she knew the girl would show up soon, but she was perhaps the character she was most excited to see besides the other rumored new villagers for this lineup. nonetheless, she tells herself to stay patient with playing the game. if she were to time travel, she should do it later.
she looks around her island to see what her two items were before grabbing her phone to tweet it out to her followers: cherries and tulips. honestly, she would’ve preferred hyacinths or roses, but she was pretty satisfied with having cherries. they were better than pears that was for sure.
as she expected, there wasn’t that much to do on the second day. so when her mom calls her out for dinner, she quickly goes down with no arguments and no hesitation. it’s not like she’ll do that for when the next few days come. but… she does take longer as her island “totaldrama” grows.
...
she grabs her phone out to rant about her next three villagers.
“pate as my peppy villager is ok but i’d prefer someone like audie or cookie or bunnie :/ or maybe cheri bc bias LOL”
a few minutes later.
“omg pekoe as my normal villager? tea! i’m gonna put her next to genji on purpose hehe”
and minutes later after that.
“ugh broccolo as my lazy villager… i’d prefer erik or sherb over him smh”
a few days have passed since she’s started and she’s able to get not only isabelle, able’s, and her museum, but also a campsite! when she sees an announcement of how there’s a new camper on her island, she goes to the campsite tent to see a sight she had dreaded to see ever since she had gotten new leaf seven years ago.
the scream of agony she lets it rings through the house as her mom shouts at her to be quiet. she shouts back a “sorry!” before she grabs her phone to tweet about the repulsive, ugly turquoise hamster on her island that she sadly had to keep.
“i got fcking rodn-🤢 rod 🤢 r 🤢 i cant even say his name he’s so UGLY EWWW”
she adds to that tweet
“I CAN’T BELIEVE I GOT HIM… MY SMUG VILLAGER SHOULD’VE BEEN MARSHAL OR RAYMOND 😭 THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFEEE”
she watches as her mutuals clown her for the unfortunate addition to her island, to which she sulks and goes back on her game to invite him onto her island. the day after that, she goes to his plot of land and internally sobs as she sees the message:
“this spot reserved for rodney’s new home.
- nook inc.”
...
with two more spots left (the 7th being taken by murphy and 8th being taken by dom), she uses her one recently purchased nook mile ticket to go on a mystery island. all she had in mind was someone who she would think was cute and someone who was snooty. so when she goes on an island to see pink and blue bear cub ears in the distance, she stops and thinks to herself…. no… this can’t be.
again, she goes on her twitter to tweet her excitement.
“BITCH MY LUCK GOT ME AGAIN… FIRST DOM… AND NOW JUDY?!?!?!? THE BEAR W THE ANIME EYES AND THE PRETTY COLORS?!?!?!?”
“I WAS SO UPSET W RODNEY BUT HERE IS THIS QUEEN… OMG… MY LUCK… MY POWER.”
she puts her phone away as she makes her villager go up to the bear cub.
“well there’s a fresh face,��� starts judy’s dialogue (in animal crossing language, of course). “are visiting from another island as well?”
click.
she displays the laugh reaction. “of course you are. well, my friends call me judy. and you are?”
click.
“mina! all the way from totaldrama, even! isn’t that fascinating.”
mina finds herself whispering to herself. “she’s so cute-”
“mina! come down for dinner!”
mina calls out to her mom. “give me five minutes! i’m doing something!”
“are you playing your video game?!”
“yes! but i’m almost done!! just give me five minutes!”
she looks back at her screen before she hits her a button again, her index finger pressing down on the r button at the top of her joycon so that the dialogue goes faster.
“well, we may only be here a short time, but i do hope we get to know each other better,” judy continues before mina clicks again. “you don’t know this about me yet, but i am ALWAYS down to dish, darling.”
and that ends the dialogue, but mina was not quite done yet. she makes her orange-haired villager go back to talk to judy again.
“spending time on an island like this is so relaxing. i feel like a movie star… off on on an exotic vacation!” glee reaction. “ah yes, i could easily spend the rest of my days basking in this sort of island life, myohmy.”
myohmy. the catchphrase is endearing to her. when she clicks on a, she doesn’t have time to think before her thumb presses for the “come to my island” response.
“what? are you quite serious?” judy asks, a little surprised. “if i remember right, you said you’re… from totaldrama?” thought reaction. “it would be quite the adventure… and, of course, you would be there…” and a happy reaction follows right after as she says “that settles it, then! i’ll move to totaldrama and start a new life there, myohmy.”
mina grins widely as she clicks a again and clicks on the option “best decision ever.”
glee reaction. “wonderful!” she sings. “i will start preparing to move right away!” thought reaction. “but… how to proceed, i wonder?” click. “ah, a simple call to this tom nook fellow from totaldrama should suffice?” she smiles. “that i can do.”
“mina!”
“give me a few more minutes!” she calls out before she clicks again.
judy uses the joy reaction. “i’m so glad i came here today!” then the exclamation reaction, to which mina snickers at the way judy’s anime eyes shrink just like an anime character’s. “who knew this one trip would change my everything?! life is funny like that.” her eyes return to normal as she uses the love reaction, a heart popping up above her head as she speaks. “sometimes it hands you a present out of the blue!”
and before mina can click on her save button as she finishes her conversation with the cub, all she can think is yes. life can hand someone a present out of the blue. and for her, that present… is judy.
