5. If a character never knew their biological parents and sets out to find their father, they should also look for their mother.
6. If the father has died or dies soon after being found, the character should not give up searching for their mother.
7. If they have inherited traits from their father, they should also have inherited traits from their mother; beyond just "you have her eyes."
8. If they were raised by their mother for a significant part of their life, they should still recall her and her teachings.
9. If the mother was of high social standing, had a significant impact on society, was a well-known and well-liked person, she merits more than a passing reference if the father is the focal point of the story.
10. If both parents are killed and a child orphaned, especially a male child, the mother deserves to be grieved over as well as the father.
11. Many of these rules apply to sisters and daughters of male characters as well. They are not murder fodder. They are not footnotes. They are not less important than brothers/sons. They are not forgettable. They are not hindrances. They are not liabilities. They are not statues on pedestals.
12. Prostitutes/mistresses/etc are not the only women who have personalities and will listen to the male character's problems. He just refuses to recognize the inherent value of women who won't have sex with him whenever he wants it.
I've devised a short list of rules that will greatly improve every piece of existing literature on the planet.
If a male character has a child, you need to either clarify that they're adopted or mention their mother.
If a character's father has a name, you have to give their mother one.
If the father appears on screen but the mother doesn't, you must clarify whether she is absent, missing, or dead, and mention her at least twice.
If we have a flashback to the father's past or otherwise receive backstory information, you also need to include the mother's backstory.
#vagueposting about star wars#lemme tell you#i did not love 'the gray man'#but the main character's goal of protecting his surrogate little sister despite all odds#was so refreshing it made me angry#furious!#horizon zero dawn has the female main character search for her mother partly bc her society idolizes mothers#but largely bc every other story is positively obsessed with fathers#who was elizabeth swan's mother in potc???#even marvel has numerous mother centric stories where other franchises fail#ooooh op you hit something that makes me tick#the xfiles had problematic fathers but mothers who were doing their best#the male main character was positively obsessed with finding out what happened to his little sister#the female main character grieved for several episodes when her younger sister was murdered#this is how female characters should be written!#as though they MATTER i know a revolutionary thought wow#don't get me started on the bull they pulled with the httyd movies#gender#female characters#writing rules

firm believer in darry who is constantly begging the boys for peace n quiet but is INSTANTLY paranoid the second he gets it
#last time he got five minutes of silence one boy ended up in the cooler one in the hospital n one on the roof#anytime hes home n 2 or more of the boys arent he walks around stricken#cannot enjoy a SECOND of r n r#bc he KNOWS his gang is full of chaos makers#they all come home n hes like thank GOD now i can RELAX#spoiler#he will not#bc his brothers are the rowdiest bitches known to man#one year on his birthday the boys asked him what he wanted#n he was like#for u all to sit perfectly silently in the living room where i know where u all are for five minutes#it did not happen#darry will never admit it#but the lack of his brothers laughing n fighting n acting a fool#was actually deeply unsettling to him#n he heaved the BIGGEST sigh#but was like FINE u can move#darry loves those little freaks#even tho he'll be gray before hes 30#the outsiders#ponyboy curtis#sodapop curtis#darry curtis#dallas winston#two bit mathews#johnny cade#steve randle

It still depresses me that my favorite anime/manga of all time my absolute obsession has to be fucking D.gray-man. A story that I will probably never get to see end T . T
Kanda Yuu is still the love of my life ; ) Shh don't tell my boyfriend.
#I mean i understand why and like i hope the creator is ok her health is so much more important#I just mean like why did I have to be in love with that show the most of all things#I'm still so in love with it#d.gray man#d.grayman hallow#d gray man#Allen walker#Kanda yuu#Kandycane#hehe generalkandycane used to be my user name for everything

So glad I don’t have a therapist because having to explain to a therapist why I’m devastated that my best friend got a boyfriend would probably send me into therapy

no let’s talk about cScott’s strategy in the life series being the social game. Let’s talk about how he’ll just kinda play nice with everyone and get to very high placements as a result. Do you wonder if his past allies feel used by him? If they feel like they’re just part of the strategy of his own game? Did you realize how rarely Scott has recurring alliances? Do you think they wonder about if they were just someone Scott could get to a higher result to feel good about? Or someone that could get him the win? Or are you normal
all I’m saying is usually we go on lengthy talks about Scott being nice and sweet and wholesome but this guy (character) is good at the murder game! Really worryingly good! Let’s delve into that some more!
#this is all c! btw to clarify. AND BEFORE YOU SAY CLEO READ THE TAGS#but I think that Pearl and martyn and Jimmy are on the same page of like. Man I did love you. And all you do is win. Was it ever real?#Different flavors ofc#But it’s similar in the sense that Martyn betrayed him and Scott just didn’t really care. Moved on to the next game kept playing.#Pearl and Scott were such a duo in last life and that didn’t matter!#Scott and Cleo have a recurring alliance and guess what. The roomies were taken out first ANYWAYS!#Do you guys remember how Jimmy and Scott were married? It’s all dead and gone now though right?#And I’m not saying Scott IS just using his alliances or that he didn’t really care all that much. Just that there’s some gray area in there#up for interpretation#Before you come at me with the Gem thing I raise you the “Scott is playing his own game”#He’s already won and he’s trying to get his allies to win. But his allies are never recurrent. So is it out of pride? Or genuine love?#I bet they wonder#And I think we should too#scott smajor#smajor1995#last life#double life#secret life#slsmp#traffic smp#life series#third life#limited life#coral kids#zombiecleo#pearlescentmoon#jimmy solidarity#solidaritygaming#flower husbands

doodles i did the other day uvu
the lavi piece is lowkey a redraw of smth I drew like 6 years ago, proud of that improvement!
my friend @starsofmirkwood is at fault for catboy tyki;; they don't know d gray man and said his eyes looked somehow non human and I went "yeah, cat."
#jaxdart#d gray man#allen walker#tyki mikk#lavi#lavi bookman#i SUCK at drawing tyki#i love drawing my favorites and just being the worst at it#i just wanted to draw lavi pouting cause i miss him lmao#these were literally just 'what if i drew this? what if i drew that?' and i did it and i kinda like them#there were a few other non dgm doodles too and like that was such a good doodle session#hilarious stuff i thought of for once#maybe i should get myself to do that more and i might actually finish more than one piece a month

I can’t get over how every single silent brother had to comfort jem about will and tessa all that time.
#not just when will died…which i’d rather not think about or i’ll sob#but literally any time he had a thought like oh man i miss my tessa i miss my parabatai#the other silent brothers could literally hear him in their minds at all times and were just like#*awkwardly* there there….you’ll get over it maybe#and he never did#i bet the silent brothers were all a little depressed that century just because they were kinda forced to feel jem’s longing#bet the ones who hadn’t been killed in the war were relieved when he became jem again#i love jem#the tid characters will always break me#jem carstairs#brother zachariah#ghosts of the shadow market#shadowhunters#the shadowhunter chronicles#will herondale#tessa gray#silent brothers#the infernal devices#herongraystairs#kate's post
