I'm curious, in general do we prefer Poison Ivy with Green Skin or Nah?

[stackthedeck]

oh yeah i love the iconic love interests of blue beetle and booster gold such as "80s career woman who is clearly a lesbian who decided to adopt her weird boss" or "bisexual batfam woman who is more in love with the woman she's working with than this loser trying to help her"

Literally going insane, might have to write fanfic for the first time in 2 years because the people™️ do not get my favorite female characters like I do and I feel the insurmountable urge to write her. I’m going to bite drywall why don’t ppl see her complexities. PLEASE STOP WRITING HER ETHIER AS DOMICILE MOM OR BITCH (or just for shipping) she is so so cool please guys please.

Also while I’m here, fandoms tendency to shove women in the ‘pure powerful goddess who can do no wrong’ box and then proceed to never give them an actual narrative role other than like ‘supportive’ or ‘took out a few background guys’. Like why DOES this incredibly badass and complex female character just get shunted into doinging some cool flips, getting praised about it (she’s the strongest fighter, so feminist wow) then never getting actnowleged as a 2 dimensional character.

I saw this a lot when I was in the Batman fandom, particularly with Cassandra Cain. She is a highly complex and interesting character, but in fandom she’s kind of shunted to ‘Badass therapy dog who takes care of the men’. Because even on the slight chance her backstory is brought up it’s always never delved into and mostly used to make her etheir more tragic and in need of support on a surface level or to let her be compassionate with the men characters who get their actual problems foucused on. It’s a unqiue kind of frustrating because it’s like almost letting the cool female character be cool, but it’s more like the idea of a badass women is shoved in your face, maybe joked about (or if we’re lucky she gets to beat up a few bad-guys), but ultimately treated like a cardboard cutout. Interestingly this actually isn’t entirely a female character thing, it’s also common with like old grandfather/grandmother characters and the elderly in general. But it’s usually badass women from what I see. :/ Why can’t fandom explore their stories (people do but why is it so much less), why can’t they be the prtags of cool AUs or time-travel fix-its, or crossover events

Idk I think I’m just frustrated, and I typed out more than I thought I would. Also Ive seen what happens to some other posts complaining about fandom misogyny, so please know if you’re a TERF, fuck off you have no place in this discussion. We will never agree, and frankly all of these points apply to canon Trans Women characters. Don’t say shit ill fucking end you.

danganronpa is so fucking crazy bc it’s like “hi. this is a game series with a fucking amazing premise. unfortunately the writing sucks and is bad and you will spend half the time going ‘eugh why did they write that’ but you will play the whole thing anyways and get attached to your favorite characters and cry when they inevitably die. also it is filled with romance subplots that will stay in your brain forever” HUH??????

Ngl TaiVan will probably always be a little tainted for me seeing as how they put Simone in a coma to make it happen.

harley quinn (2000) #13

[ID: Harley Quinn staring pleadingly at Pamela Isley after asking her to run away from Gotham with her. Pam bluntly replies, “No. Can't.” Harley continues to look at her longingly as she slowly admits, “I thought we were friends, Ivy. I like you... Admire you, even. Always wanted to be strong and independent like you. But I guess you're so strong and independent... you don't need friends.” She leaves as Pam still doesn't turn around to face her, her face hidden in shadow. END ID]

The amount of times I have rewatched episode three of Scott Pilgrim is absolutely ungodly

Like, that Ramona and Roxie fight scene with all the different films?? I have NEVER seen anything like it and I love it so much it's probably now one of my favourite moments from any animated show ever

HUGE win for the lesbians this week. welcome valcita!!!!!!!! -prev lesbian anon

SMH the week after Pride Month too. The author of this story really has no sense of timing now, does she?

[lesbianlenas]

you said something about lycoris recoil and it got me intrigued. do you have yuri recs that aren’t mainly about teenagers? i’m looking for some but i have no idea where to find them. i’ve watched shows like chaser game w, she loves to cook and she loves to eat, and ayaka is in love with hiroko, but i’ve had no luck with animation so far :(

ok i wrote a whole response to this but then i went to google smth and it disappeared so thank u tumblr mobile omg 😭 i will try to remember what i said ok

so first of all idk if u meant by this that u have watched lycoris recoil but if u haven’t i think u should watch it anyway bc it is sooooo good u will have the best time EVER i promise u that…..i know they are teenagers but i also dont like watching things abt teenagers & it didn’t bother me in the animation format w this show specifically u can just ignore it & pretend they’re like 20 idk i promise it’s so good 😭😭😭 it is totally worth it if u haven’t watched it it changed my life

ok second of all unfortunately i don’t really have much for u….if u r not aware i spent my entire summer after my first yr of law school watching horror & lesbian animes so i was legit scouring for them i KNOWWW the term is yuri i just like saying lesbian anyway i dont think i really came across anything that was abt adults but i think that’s kind of an issue w anime overall bc i also noticed that when i was looking for horror animes that they were like all abt teenagers i think i only watched one that was abt adults but that was not lesbian. but idk i am not an anime enjoyer so i dont really know abt that but point being i searched far & wide for all the lesbian animes there are AND my friend who is an anime enjoyer also sent me a list of lesbian animes she found (and she was specifically looking for ones that were recommended by lesbians when she was looking). so the thing is that i did not watch all of them bc i can only watch dubs bc of my focus issues so i dont have every single one i found on hand to check but i will say i do know of one where they are not minors but may still be teenagers? idk if that is an issue for u. but in otherside picnic they r college students (not freshman) tho it isn’t explicitly romantic but it is intended to be lesbian on purpose. i watched the first ep but i had to rewatch lycoris recoil & then i started law school again so i didn’t continue it but i did enjoy the first ep it combined my interest of lesbian and horror so. i did check my watchlist & nothing else on there was not teenagers but i am going to find the list my friend gave me in my texts & see if anything there w/o a dub was not teenagers. ok i should have done that first & just given u a more condensed response but um i cant do that for reasons. one sec. (saving as a draft this time so as to not lose my extremely long response)

ok um. idk if u want explicit romance or not bc 😭 my friend told me abt an anime called nana which she said has lesbian subtext & they r 20 in that. english dub is on hulu idk why i didn’t add it to my watchlist but yeah.

again on the same explicit romance note but she also told me abt one called canaan where the characters r 20 & there is heavy lesbian subtext.

so yeah…..that’s it 😭 not a lot of lesbian animes period but even less abt full adults unfortunately……but u can always watch lycoris recoil if u haven’t & pretend & have the best time ever ever ever!!!!!

Deleted all of my fanfictions because I finally grew up and realized that they were upholding patriarchal power imbalances which in turn disrespected all of my female characters.

Goodbye to my thousands of likes/votes/kudos and comments. All the engagement and excitement and steamy love scenes. But I am on a mission.

Right now I am redefining (fictional) heterosexual romance for my writing. Perhaps I should start writing shit again, see where my headspace is at.

THAT!!!!!!!!! EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've completed the trio! she's also fucked up but she unfortunately has these two to deal with. relationship chart upon you

Dude I came here for supercorp and stayed for show recommendations. I’m glad WoT is back but I wish there were more shows with established wlw couples. With the protests going on I feel like we’re gonna go into LGBT drought in TV. 😪 also the “forbidden love” trope in Lioness reminded me of the Jasmine Throne book series. I highly recommend it!

ohh man been feeling that wlw drought ever since sg ended + warrior nun s2. if tv shows don't got me (understandably), video games got me (for now)

i think its interesting how many fandom ideas of things just eventually get passed down as "fact" and by interesting i mean it's super annoying
