"You work together, you develop feelings. Nothing wrong with that." - Hightower to Rigsby and Van Pelt.

"When she's unhappy, I'm less happy. It's human nature." "Yes, it is." - Hightower to Jane.

Same goddamn episode.

Also, I'm laughing so hard at Jane being read for filth.

I wish there was more fantasy books with mroe feminine female main character

All the main characters who are female "don't like drsses" or "acts more like a boy" and the author tries to make them more reliable this way but I can't relate. Because I like pretty dresses and "acting" like a girl. Also theres nothing wrong with that either. A female main character can be girly while also being interesting.

Another note I wish to see more female character in fantasy books who don't fight. They can still be a strong character without needing to wield a sword. I want to relate to characters who are girly and can't fight because if I was in a fantasy world I would absolutely suck a wielding weopons lol.

There's nothing wrong with female main characters being traditionally girly and not being a fighter. Im tired of authors using the "not like other girls" trope for their female characters.

YES YES YES

The strong female character(tm) is rooted in misogyny. There's nothing wrong with female characters who present masc or pick up swords or engage in traditionally masculine activities, but it becomes a problem when it becomes a trend that in order for a woman to be strong, she must pick up a sword, fight, be outspoken/loud/brash/assertive etc. etc. etc. It becomes a problem when we pit these characters against other female characters with more traditionally feminine traits. (Favorite personal example is the way the fandom -- not necessarily GRRM but the fandom -- treats Sansa Stark vs Arya Stark and Danaerys Targaryen, and Alicent Hightower vs Rhaenyra Targaryen)

IDK you didn't ask for these but here are some recs of books & other fiction who present actually well-rounded and and awesome strong female MCs not all of these are fantasy novels but they're just personal favorites of mine.

Ella Enchanted - Gail Carson Levine

Fairest - Gail Carson Levine

The entire everything ever that Brandon Sanderson has written. My personal favs include Navani and Shallan from Stormlight Archive.

Chronicles of Narnia - CS Lewis

Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen (and just in general anything by Jane Austen ever)

Orlando - Virginia Woolf (and in general anything by Virginia ever)

Stardust - @neil-gaiman

A Discovery of Witches - the show, not the book. The book is kind of terrible.

Room - Emma Donoghue - both the book and the film are excellent!

Antigone - Sophocles

She Stoops to Conquer - short play by Oliver Goldsmith

A Series of Unfortunate Events - Lemony Snicket

A Much Ado About Nothing - William Shakespeare

Macbeth - " (strong female characters are allowed to be antagonists)

Emily's Runaway Imagination - Beverly Clearly

Ramona series of books - Beverly Clearly

A Wrinkle in Time - Madeleine L'Engle

Uglies | Pretties | Specials - Scott Westerfield

Julie of the Wolves - Jean Craighead George

The myth of Inanna

Naya Nuki, shoshone girl who ran - Kenneth Thomasma

A Little Princess - Frances Hodgeson Burnett

Secret Garden - Frances Hodgeson Burnett

Anne of Green Gables - L.M. Montgomery. I'm personally fond of both the old version & the new netflix show as well as the books.

Myst: Book of Ti'ana - Rand Miller

Island of the Blue Dolphins - Scott O'Dell

Coraline - also @neil-gaiman

dishonorable mention on the topic of feminist fiction: Handmaid's Tale. Fuck that.

[dragonfire-hq]

is there anywhere you can see madeleine madden and fabien frankel fitting ?

i could see madeleine in house stark and fabien frankel could be in house hightower or house greyjoy.

[koalas-koalas-everywhere]

Hightower truly hit like lightning — impressive and flashy, but more striking than overwhelming. She asserted herself as someone capable of exerting power over the team, without driving them off like LaRoche did by exerting that power immediately. Instead, she showed what a great ally she makes when you play by her rules, the hand capable of feeding them when they're good and spanking them when they're bad. She's not there to play mind games with them, she's there to run a law enforcement agency.

[regismortemhq]

where can you see viva bianca, jessica parker kennedy and madeleine madden fitting house/region wise?

for viva, if using her spartacus resources from 12ish years ago, i could see the following houses working really well: arryn, velaryon, targaryen . jessica: bolton, frey, tully, blacktyde, harlaw, lannister, darklyn, manwoody . madeleine: sunderland, brax, hightower, meadows, dayne .
