just an idle weird thought given the proximity of Phineas's breakdown in Midst, Ashton's breakdown on Critical Role, and some stray thoughts I've had about Tula on D20, Suvi on WBN, and that female blorbos post that goes around from time to time; but I feel like that very specific identity crisis/explosive depression spiral re Phineas and Ashton is truly a thing that makes me go oh this character is actually everything is weirdly gendered. It's almost always a man who has it; Ashton is honestly the only example I can think of who isn't a man (though I think Suvi might be headed for this, which is one of the many reasons I love her).

#me googling was my college mental health experience kinda masc question mark #it's not the ONLY thing i gravitate towards but i genuinely can't think of a single woman with this arc #tula is interesting bc it feels like she skirts this #and it's also interesting in that like. in actual play if aabria goes for this with suvi it will be the first PLAYER who's not a man #since tula skirted it but is also played by brennan and ashton is not a man but is played by taliesin who is a man #anyway if you have the same things wrong with you: black sails; vorkosigan saga; stormlight archives; you know the drill #(those have AMAZING women too it's just. they get different great stories! but never this one!)#(and i DON'T KNOW WHY)#midst spoilers #not tagging other stuff but will talk about it #not now though i gotta go get my hair cut
