StF Safe Ship Week Day 2–✨Magic Gone Wrong✨
For day 2 I drew Marla and Emmaline!
Still just a sketch because I’m tired
The idea here is that Maria is trying to seem cool and show off, but Emmaline is just like “what a dork… ❤️”
Once again, thanks to @reverseenchancia for hosting!

I am just a simple teenage girl. I’ve got vodka in my pants and cigarettes in my hands. So I dance to Lizzy grant. It’s okay, we were born to die either way

Various side characters from the Silver age-version of the Legion of Super-Heroes, by Curt Swan. I'm embarrassed to state that I can't recall the name of the blue-skinned guy at bottom left, between Marla Latham and the White Witch. Likewise for the guy in purple with the green cape at top left, between Life Lass and Ornitho.

Maartael the Exiled Witch
Some say that at the far edges of the human kingdom… Past the lanes where even the mighty rogue Feldspar wouldn’t dare to venture there is a cave hiding the most feared fugitive of the elf kingdom. The Malfeasant Exiled Witch Maartael Petqirelle. Once a mere beginning magic user, Maartael learned to harness and control dark magic in addition to flame, harnessing the most potent of curses. The dagger she wields is a misdirection, though sharp it’s real power is to boost the damage of her spells and her blade. Her sword itself carries its own secret, for when wielded properly, the blade can flow like a whip. Fortunately for the elves the battle with the orcs for the stick of truth United Zaron under the flag of King Daniel the Imaginative, himself a traitor and an exile of the humans. Maartael and King Daniel share a bond and a friendship that make Maartael one of the deadliest and most trusted allies of the kingdom of Zaron

Star of 2024's Furiosa: A Mad Max saga, Carina Fiorella Scorsese, commonly known as Carina Scorsese, is an actress, producer, and aspiring director, born on May 29, 2000. Daughter of Antonella Berzatto, a professional cook from Rome and owner of the famous Italian food chain Reprise, and Martin Scorsese, known for films such as Taxi Driver, The Irishman, and the most recent Killers of The Flower Moon. Since a very early age, Carina was raised in movie sets and kitchens by both her parents. Raised primarily in Italy, Carina had a relatively normal upbringing out of the spotlight, as per her father's wishe, especially so she could grow up and do whatever made her happy, not what was pushed upon her. At the age of 5, Scorsese started doing ballet classes, which until these days continued to be one of her main passions. She also got to spend a lot of time with her mom, cooking dishes and learning the importance of her background heritage and also making good memories. That being said, Carina developed a great love for baking, which led the girl to a great hobby to perform around family and friends. The love for movies came early, something that was expected considering all the times Cari visited her dad's filming sets. Just being around him made her love the arts ever more, making core memories such as when he showed her "Breakfasts at Tiffany's," and she heard Moon River for the very first time.
Carina moved to New York with both her parents at the age of 12, starting to be more sure about her choices for the future with the help and guidance of the family, she started doing acting classes and watching a lot of musical theater shows on Broadway, making her acting range a priority ever since a young age. Just four years later, Scorsese landed herself her very first acting role as the lead in the horror movie The Witch (2016), directed by Robert Eaggers, another very important moment in her life. Even though Carina has the obvious privilege of her last name, she's been, since then, critically aclamed for her performance, especially she played a young Beth Harmon, a chess player in one of the most watched miniseries on Netflix, The Queen's Gambit (2020), which earned her her first Golden Globe and Emmy win. Now, Carina is known as one of the biggest growing stars and of the new generation of actors. She's been dating the star player of the football team Real Madrid, Hunter Blackford, since the beginning of the year. The two of them became engaged in August and have been expecting twins on the way. Carina and Hunter moved to Madrid, but she still travels a lot between Europe and the US for projects and to be with the family.

RULES:
All fictional women from a category will be randomized, and put into polls
Whoever gets 50 votes automatically proceeds into the next round. There won't be only one winner for each poll!
We will do one category at the time. We'll start with books.
We'll decide on a winner of each category, and then whoever had the most votes, will proceed into the Final 10.
I'll calculate how many votes each woman got, so that at the end of the voting, you can see how many other women also adored your favourite ones :)
This also means that once you vote, if there's someone else you also want to see in the finals, you can reblog and let your followers know who already has enough votes, and who needs more in order to proceed. I'll also sometimes reblog polls announcing that a certain character has made the cut, and now others need your attention. We're trying to see which ones are loved and adored enough to actually get a lot of votes, even with competition. The voting starts at the end of nominations!

I would sell my soul to Duma in a heartbeat if it meant I could live out my days pressed between Marla and Hestia
While on the note of sexy Valentia witches Nuibaba’s (good for her on the transition btw, it’s canon to me) patron Medusa, I want to know more about her?
Like she’s just there? Some unknown potentially godlike entity in a series where all the gods are hot as fuck, named Medusa, and if Kid Icarus Uprising taught me anything it’s that Medusa always slays.

Science Fiction & Fantasy: Sapphic Picks
Our Hideous Progeny by C.E. McGill
It's 1853 London. Ex-medical student Victor Frankenstein has been missing for years now. Frankenstein's great niece Mary Saville and her husband, Henry, are trying to follow in his scientific footsteps and become renowned paleontologists. They have the brains and the ambition; the only thing they lack is the reputation. Mary is a woman with a sharp mind but a fierce tongue and Henry is an unemployed gambling addict: none of this earning appeal with their peers. But after finding clues to her great uncle's disappearance, Mary's luck may just change. She constructs a plan that will force the scientific community to take her and her husband seriously; no one will be able to ignore them after they learn to create life. Once they have successfully constructed their Creature, Henry's ambition soars, but Mary finds herself asking deeper, more important questions than she's ever confronted before. As Henry's desire for fame grows, Mary must decide how far she is willing to go to protect the Creature she has grown to love.
Her Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno Dawson
If you look hard enough at old photographs, we're there in the background: healers in the trenches; Suffragettes; Bletchley Park oracles; land girls and resistance fighters. Why is it we help in times of crisis? We have a gift. We are stronger than Mundanes, plain and simple. At the dawn of their adolescence, on the eve of the summer solstice, four young girls--Helena, Leonie, Niamh and Elle--took the oath to join Her Majesty's Royal Coven, established by Queen Elizabeth I as a covert government department. Now, decades later, the witch community is still reeling from a civil war and Helena is now the reigning High Priestess of the organization. Yet Helena is the only one of her friend group still enmeshed in the stale bureaucracy of HMRC. Elle is trying to pretend she's a normal housewife, and Niamh has become a country vet, using her powers to heal sick animals. In what Helena perceives as the deepest betrayal, Leonie has defected to start her own more inclusive and intersectional coven, Diaspora. And now Helena has a bigger problem. A young warlock of extraordinary capabilities has been captured by authorities and seems to threaten the very existence of HMRC. With conflicting beliefs over the best course of action, the four friends must decide where their loyalties lie: with preserving tradition, or doing what is right. Juno Dawson explores gender and the corrupting nature of power in a delightful and provocative story of magic and matriarchy, friendship and feminism. Dealing with all the aspects of contemporary womanhood, as well as being phenomenally powerful witches, Niamh, Helena, Leonie and Elle may have grown apart but they will always be bound by the sisterhood of the coven.
When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill
Alex Green is a young girl in a world much like ours, except for its most seminal event: the Mass Dragoning of 1955, when hundreds of thousands of ordinary wives and mothers sprouted wings, scales, and talons; left a trail of fiery destruction in their path; and took to the skies. Was it their choice? What will become of those left behind? Why did Alex’s beloved aunt Marla transform but her mother did not? Alex doesn’t know. It’s taboo to speak of. Forced into silence, Alex nevertheless must face the consequences of this astonishing event: a mother more protective than ever; an absentee father; the upsetting insistence that her aunt never even existed; and watching her beloved cousin Bea become dangerously obsessed with the forbidden. In this timely and timeless speculative novel, award-winning author Kelly Barnhill boldly explores rage, memory, and the tyranny of forced limitations.
Lies We Sing to the Sea by Sarah Underwood
Each spring, Ithaca condemns twelve maidens to the noose. This is the price vengeful Poseidon demands for the lives of Queen Penelope’s twelve maids, hanged and cast into the depths centuries ago. But when that fate comes for Leto, death is not what she thought it would be. Instead, she wakes on a mysterious island and meets a girl with green eyes and the power to command the sea. A girl named Melantho, who says one more death can stop a thousand. The prince of Ithaca must die—or the tides of fate will drown them all. Sarah Underwood weaves an epic tapestry of lies, love, and tragedy, perfect for fans of Madeline Miller, Alexandra Bracken, and Renée Ahdieh.

Some say that Miss Fury was the first identifiable female comic book hero in that she adopted the features of the classic costumed crime fighters that followed. She wore a costume and mask, had a secret identity, came from a famous/ well off background and possessed athleticism, fighting prowess and detecting skills, all which helped her to fight crime, often at night. Miss Fury’s real identity was socialite Marla Drake and she was something of a proto-Batgirl with her skin tight costume, mask-and-pointy ears disguise, vigilantism and her propensity for rooftop investigating. Her origins lay in the African jungle when she fashioned her costume from the hide of a “black leopard” which her father had willed her as a curiosity, saying it had belonged to a witch doctor who had claimed it had magic powers. Marla becomes a hero almost accidentally, making her costume as an emergency replacement when another woman wears a similar outfit to hers at a ball. The page above is from her origin story and depicts her capturing the criminal Killer Dawson, again rather spontaneously, after which her interest in secret crime fighting is piqued.
As Miss Fury, Marla takes on Nazi spies, gangsters and assorted criminals attempting to aid the police in capturing hard-to-nail crooks, particularly Marla’s love interest, Detective Dan Carey (despite being engaged to someone else). Engagingly, Marla remained conflicted about her crime-fighting persona, resenting the need for a secret identity, and querying her worth as a crime fighter (quite the opposite of her near-contemporary, Black Cat). Also, as the first of her kind, Miss Fury encountered concern from censorious conservative opinion, who judged her costume too revealing and her antics inappropriate. This may explain her relatively short run of an eight issue series of her own in 1942-43. Nonetheless, the character opened the door to Black Cat, Wonder Woman, Catwoman and a host of other female comic book costumed characters so, in some respects, she is a truly historic figure.
Miss Fury first appeared in a syndicated newspaper comic strip called The Black Fury in April 1941, illustrated by June Tarpe Mills, significantly one of the few women working as an illustrator and scripter in the Golden Age. In November 1941, the strip was retitled Miss Fury. These stories were later collated in the character’s own title. The page featured is from Miss Fury #1 (December 1942).
