I really love gertrude robinson bc how often do you get an older woman character who just really sucks? She sacrifices ppl that trust her. She is so focused on keeping the world from ending that she completely doesn’t notice one of her assistants routinely torturing the others. She dismembered a guy. She does her job badly on purpose. She’s cunning and sneaky. She dares her murderous, immortality seeking boss to kill her. She gets murdered by her murderous, immortality seeking boss. She’s not particularly friendly. She somehow had access to plastic explosives. She’s a manipulator and a liar. She’s bound to the avatar of destruction. She helped a guy get rid of a pig by telling him to put it in conk crete. She is like the opposite of a sweet little grandma and that’s beautiful.
#tma#tma spoilers#the magnus archives#gertrude robinson#I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fanon interpretation of her being kind and motherly#and that���s sooooo amazing to me#bc female characters (esp older ones)#are so often relegated to being the mom friend or some similar trope that completely ignores their personality#so I love that she gets to be just the most morally gray old woman#with an amazing voice#ever#tma podcast#what if I fell in love with her#what are you gonna do about it?#nothing!!#you can’t!#can’t wait to be sacrificed <333

whenever i see people talking about rouge as if shes some sort of responsible motherly figure type character i think about how in sonic battle she openly said onscreen that she never wants to be a mother. and also about the time in idw sonic where her and amy and cream went on a mission together and she was complaining about how nobody at the resort they were at had any gems worth stealing and amy was like Umm .. is that really the best example to be setting for cream ? and rouge was like Youre so right . cream if you ever try to rob a hotel make sure the guests are rich first ^_^ . mom friend rouge isnt real it cant hurt you ................
#sorry but in My Humble Opinion she is the least motherly character on earth#she is not the mom friend. well i dont think any of the girl sonic characters are the mom friend actually#except for maybe vanilla but only because shes a literal actual mom#girl sonic cast i will protect you from people who try to shove you into motherly figure roles regardless of age or personality

Not even dead Alyssa was safe from Condal’s disgusting writing of women. RIP Alyssa Targaryen you did not deserve that.
#can people now realise how badly this faux feminist show treats women please?#alyssa targaryen#anti hotd#house of the dragon#anti ryan condal#i swear he projects his own issues onto female characters#there are a lot of mommy issues scenes and comparing motherly affection im just saying

Just finished ata2, and I have so much to say omg.
-Rebecca/amanda
We finally have confirmation that Rebecca is trapped in the show as Amanda, which I think was pretty obvious from the start. I think there’s more to that though than just being stuck in the show, I think Rebecca/Amanda in the real world is dead. Remembering what she said in the first game she felt as if she were rotting, and the whole possum thing in the new game is something I’ll get into.
-Wooly
Wooly in my opinion isn’t particularly the villain, I don’t think he has malicious intent towards Amanda, but he was made and sent by Hameln to keep her quiet. I’m the first game Amanda is trying to send a gift to Kate, which I think was her asking for help. In the second game, it’s confirmed Amanda has made contact with Kate. Wooly tries to stop her from sending the gift, saying it was too late. He does this multiple times throughout the game where he tries to shut Amanda up, Amanda not fully letting him. It’s easy to understand her hatred for wooly, as he is hameln’s creation that was quite literally made to keep her quiet.
-The possum
Circling back to my Rebecca is dead theory, possums eat dead things. The times he attacked Amanda, he didn’t want her coins, food, toothbrush, drawings, he wanted to eat her. This symbolizes her real body in the real world, perhaps being eaten by possums and just feeding more at the idea that Rebecca/amanda is dead.
-Hameln is a cult.
In the orange tape it’s hinted at heavily, even outright said, that Hameln is a cult. It cuts out the parts saying how long they’ve been around and how long it’s been since that ‘religion’ was practiced. I believe Rebecca was a sacrifice for the cult.
-who is the meatman?
I’m really stumped on this one, we know that if we put meatman for some answers, Amanda/rebecca is really scared of him. I can’t quite pin what he is, whether he’s the mastermind behind it, apart of Hameln, Rebecca’s killer or maybe all three. I think we might get more coverage on him in the third game(can’t wait to wait another year for that🙏/j)
-my last thoughts
I really sympathize with Rebecca/amanda, she was just a little girl, everytime she mentions having to something alone/being lonely we’re just reminded of what Hameln took from her. Another thing, I think Sam(her father) is dead as well. I’d be really surprised if he was alive, his lack of cooperation with Hameln could’ve led him to his daughter’s fate.
Safe to say I really enjoyed the second game, and the depth and lore that came with it. Hopefully we get a third one soon, I can’t wait to completely cover the story and see how it ends.
#amanda the adventurer#Amanda the adventurer 2#wooly the sheep#ata2#the amount of motherly instinct i feel for a game character is insane#amanda the adventurer fandom#rebecca colton#sam colton#Amanda ata#Hameln when I catch you Hameln.

I feel like people aren't getting it. In. The. Books. Perseus. Jackson. Is. An. Unreliable. Narrator. This goes for everything he thinks. Percy loves his mother, so he writes her praises. In the show we get to see what Sally does from an outside POV not filtered through a child that idolizes his mother. It's not ooc for Sally to act like she does in the show. she's a single mother raising a neurodivergent, Demigod, and she's scared that when the Gods get to him they'll corrupt him. She's not suddenly a girl boss we're getting to see her for how she is.
#percy jackson#sally jackson#“sHe sToOd uP tO gABe sHe wOuLdnT dO tHat' she did it because percy needed to get to montock so she could tell him about how hes a demigod#sally as a character will do anything for her son. gabe being abusive doesnt negate what she needs to. do for her son. in in the book the#second gabe was no longer needed she turned him into a statue and sold him to to the highest bidder. she was putting up with the abuse for#percys sake. and this is then woman that grebbed a gun and started fighting in the battle of Manhattan. shes not weak. you can be two things#she can be motherly and strong. and obviously she has her douts. she thinks shes failing. she called posiden when it was too much and he#reassured her she was doing her best and she needs to do what she thinks is best. and we are only seeing some scenes#we're seeing whats relevant to the plot and whats relative is sally preparing Percy. and she obviously cares for her son and her son for her#she has to be a good mother cus percy is literally going to the underworld to save her. just stfu about the book#ive read the books to but some of you are awful. like no adaptation is to the letter. somethings had to be cut or glossed over and some are#changed because money or that a book is a different medium then a show or movie! you cant do everything cus its impossible.#were in a completely different pov. we're not in Percys head seeing his thoughts.#pjo series#pjo#pjo tv show#percy jackson and the olympians#percy series#batcavescoloy watches the PJO tv show#batcavescolony watches

I'm curious, in general do we prefer Poison Ivy with Green Skin or Nah?
oh reblog for more responses please lol
#poison ivy#poison ivy dc#dc polls#tumblr polls#polls#dc poison ivy#dc#dc comics#also I find it more interesting when Poison Ivy is very biologically plant#I think I prefer her with green skin I think partially because I like her more plant than human#but also because design-wise I love her red hair as the pop of color contrasting the green#a white ivy can be good tho to break up the green and making the design more visually clear#also I like when she is very plant and like needs sunlight and water and dirt not food lol#(but also she should still have human emotions)#I love Poison Ivy#I love love Ivy#Oh and I really don't like when she's a ginger (orange hair) her hair needs to be bright red#to me her core character traits are 1. her overwhelming and intense love for plants and the environment#2. her care for people (usually restricted to Harley but never underestimate Ivy's motherly instincts)#this trait is usually where the conflict with her character lays#3. her sex appeal this was originally her only trait I'm a gay man so I have less to say about it but I do love her femininity and slay lol#4. probably least important her evilness which is best when it's motivated by one of her other traits I like w#if its not clear I love Poison Ivy and I just put an entire other post in the tags lol#I like when she has cool lesbian aunt vibes#but I also like when she has unhinged plant lady vibes#pamela isley

tbh didnt really like how bisma's arc about her relationship to her headscarf was handled. Her braider was completely out of line and not challenged on it. There was this constant idea that being black and being muslim were separate. That she was exploring other parts of herself when being muslim and black isnt an experience that you can take apart like that. It seems to indicate that theres one way to be black and it involves being visibly less muslim and i think if we were shown more of a black muslim community around bisma and better rep of black muslims in we are lady parts this idea would be very obviously shown to be wrong in the show.
to be clear i dont think bisma having an arc around showing her hair more is bad, or even tieing it with wanting to wear braids like the black women around her or for any other reason, but the way its set up 'tobi, i'm muslim' 'yeah but we're black too', just sets up this idea of two parts of an identity in conflict with each other which doesnt speak to the way black muslim communities have tied their religion and culture together in such beautiful ways and i wish that was being represented on this show.
#tbh a crtique i had in s1 was how the (very few) black muslims were all shown to have the same turban headscarf#i think it works for bisma but i think having other characters with different headscarf options is also important#especially with the scaling back of amina's headscarf the way hijab is presented in season 2 really didnt speak with me like it did in s1#it feels like everyones trying to compromise with it rather than celebrate it in this show about muslims which is sad tbh#also fuck tobi 'youre really gonna cover up my work like that' thats not your head mate#we are lady parts#i also think they didnt tie the headscarf to how people percieve bisma as older#motherly etc very well i think#headcarfs dont age anyone on their own

said i wasn't going to touch it, but: it kinda irks me the "talia is jason's mother" headcannon (fanon?) thing
#the whole jason is damian's big brother thing too#i don't like it#i think damian's big brother/parent is dick grayson#i think “akhi” should be a natural title he comes to use on all of his brothers eventually#i mostly don't like it because talia and jason's storyline irks me#“oh but it's out of character for her to bang jason”#well she did#and it's canon#and she was never motherly to him#she was actually horrible#welcome to my ted talk#anti talia al ghul#jason todd#red hood#damian wayne#dc robin#batman#dc

i’m going to be honest: the whole thing about the best straight ships being when the man is a watered down gomez addams and the woman is a generic girlboss is boring. i’m not going to turn this into a “it’s okay to like m/f pairings” this isn’t that. i just think making things generic is not fun. i need them to drive each other crazy.
#.txt#i think it’s just people’s concern over liking shitty heterosexual relationships which is fair.#but this whole malewife/girlboss thing as a ''subversion'' of heterosexual ships just goes back to another sexist heterosexual genre.#i.e. useless dumb man with competent woman (who often acts motherly because that's totally subversive).#i've seen it in every sitcom. it's not new. making female characters having to endure male characters is not new or subversive.

top 5 things rouge would do if she had a child:
abort it
dump it with someone else
use it as a prop for a daylight heist (to appear innocent)
use it as a prop for a daylight heist (a distraction, e.g. baby in a tree)
drop it on the ground
things she would NOT do:
raise it
care for it
want it

this is probably an unpopular opinion with the amount of "everyone is married with kids" type future aus people make for sonic characters but i cannot see sonic getting married or having a kid ever. if he did somehow end up with a kid hed be the worlds first transmasc absent father or however the joke goes
#i can only see sonic with a kid if its some random kid he accidentally adopted or whatever#and if he had a partner whatever they have going on probably wouldnt fit the typical idea of how having a partner works at all#i dont think sonic is a very romantic guy to be honest. and being in a serious relationship or ''settling down'' wouldnt be for him#i guess you could argue his feelings towards that sort of stuff could change once hes an adult#but i kinda. dont like. the idea of him suddenly becoming interested in romance and wanting to settle down#as a sign hes ''finally grown up'' or whatever. because lack of interest in romance isnt an immature trait you have to grow out of#some people never want that sort of thing and thats fine#anyway i dont hate fankids to be clear i think theyre fun in concept . like from a design standpoint#taking traits from characters you like to make a new guy out of it is fun#i just cannot imagine those things ever actually happening does that make sense#actually while im at it i dont think rouge would want kids at all either . people want her to be motherly so bad but she just is not#she is the cool older sister figure who teaches you how to steal from the pin container at hot topic without getting caught. not a mom

...I should be editing my dissertation but now I'm thinking about how both Azula and Katara are perhaps the most "adultified" of the atla characters and...hmm. Interesting.
#something something about the primary female characters getting treated like grown women while the boys...aren't so much#except maybe toph...who is the least feminine of the girls#I mean all of these kids have to grow up fast and deal with responsibilities no child should be shouldering#aang sokka and zuko all deal with this don't get me wrong#but all of them have a lot more allowance for childish moments#iroh provides zuko the space to be...if not an ordinary teen than to at least express his emotions like a teenage boy#aang is constantly granted spaces to be childish and carefree#and sokka has always had katara looking out for him which allows him to be free from the parentification she was saddled with#meanwhile toph's entire arc is about connecting with the freedoms she wasn't granted as a kid in her home#so she's allowed to be wild and crazy and her desire for that is even explored in one episode#with there being some acknowledgement that she actually DOES appreciate katara's 'motherliness'#but katara is rarely allowed a moment to be a kid and it is arguably only in the first episode that aang even comments on that#and azula never gets a moment of levity#even in the beach she's not really granted the space to be as carefree as zuko mai and ty lee#...anyways get these girls a mother figure please#let girls be girls and not young women#atla

usually this would annoy me a lot more, but seeing fanon rodya evolve as this soft domestic mom type is so goddamn funny to me. i can’t even blame y’all. literally ANYONE looks parental compared to these goons
ryoshu is literally smoking in the back watching dq beat the shit out of sinclair. rodya is motherly SOLELY by process of elimination bc the bar is on the floor 💀
#shes not motherly the other sinners are literally taking turns knocking him unconscious 😭😭😭😭😭#i think she kinda has big sister energy#but like some of yall are out here reducing her entire character to mom friend and its like#she is literally encouraging ANTICS half thr timr LMAO#and also just bc a woman. has compassion for other ppl doesnt make her an uwu domestic wifey mother#its giving tht one article that described jane gooddall as taking a ~motherly touch~ to her work#ah yes. single unmarried woman venturing into an extremely dangerous jungle to do important research........ bringing her motherly touch....#SHES SO MUCH MORE COMPLEX THAN THAT#limbus company#rodya lcb#outis lcb#heathcliff lcb#don quixote lcb#sinclair lcb#ryoshu lcb#dante lcb
