“thanks, lucy gray.” he doesn’t deserve this kindness, but it means the world to him to know that she believes he can still be a good man. a good brother. “it’ll take time, but i’ll make things right between joe and i. we’ll be brothers again.” smiling softly at lucy gray, he can’t help but admire the way she looks in this light. the little deer on her sweater only adds on to her overall charm. he’s tempted to reach out and twirl one of these shiny ringlets around his fingertip, but refrains. “how’s your headache? are you feelin’ better now?” he asks, suddenly reminded of her terrible hangover. “oh, that’s huge! i’m so happy for her, glad she ran that disgusting man off and is a business woman now.” a girlboss. that’s how his friend, tom, would put it. “do you have any pictures of the stuff she makes? next time i’m home, i’m definitely stoppin’ by her shop.” and buying something for his apartment, of course. “please, i still have the sweater she made for me when i was sixteen.” it’s a little tight around the shoulders now and the sleeves constantly ride up his forearms, but it’s got too much sentimental value and he refuses to throw it away. “which one? wait, are you seriously tellin’ me that one of our babies is a mom now? i refuse to believe that.” but he laughs, there’s nothing but happiness in his eyes as he listens to lucy gray’s sweet voice. “a food fight? maude ivory? that little angel?” he shakes his head in amusement, trying to picture that. “about me? hm, let’s see… oh, i bought a motorcycle last summer.” because the traffic in new york city is just insane. “charlie, my ex-roommate,” does she remember him from those pictures he’d shown her all those years ago? “and his girlfriend are having a baby.” the shower’s in two weeks and he almost asks her if she’d like to go with him, but reminds himself that he has to take things slow. besides, blair will probably be there, too. it might be rude and awkward if he comes with a friend. “what else?” he smiles, blues meeting these pretty fawn eyes that never fail to make his heart melt. “not much, really. i’ve been busy with that TV show. you’d love that set and the costumes and horses…”
“well… you could say that. but the fact you’re sayin’ that means you are bein’ a good older brother now.” lucy gray softly points out, if he’s thinking like this— that means he feels guilty and if he’s guilty, he has a conscience and a heart after all. deciding to say this because she feels bad for him, even though he’s brought it all on himself and hurt each of them. “hmm… lemme think on it.” she replies, smiling gently as she continues to look at the city passing them by before the smile starts to widen brighter, “mama opened her own sewin’ shop. it’s goin’ real great and she’s enjoyin’ it. she makes quilts, shirts and all sorts of things— course she did that before, but now she’s makin’ money at it. one of the horses had a baby. and maude ivory almost got detention for startin’ an almost food fight at her school.” lucy gray chuckles as amusement starts to etch across her face, thinking all of that is pretty new information he probably doesn’t know anything about. “what about you?” she wonders, turning her attention back on him, fawn eyes flickering up on his face.

Mansplain, Manipulate, Manslaughter / Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss: Cosmere Style
I suppose it's a tumblr meme, really--dividing people up by whether they are the "mansplain/manipulate/manslaughter" type or the "gaslight/gatekeep/girlboss" type. Here are my takes!
[SPOILERS FOR STORMLIGHT & for MISTBORN ERA 1 / SECRET HISTORY!]
1. The "Unification" Bros
Mansplain: Gavilar
Remember when he mansplained Eshonai's own gods to her
Manipulate: Sadeas
This is a man who knows how to politically maneuver.
Manslaughter: Dalinar
Blackthorn era. 'Nough said.
2. The Kholin Ladies
Gaslight: Shallan
Sometimes she gaslights others. Sometimes she gaslights herself.
Gatekeep: Jasnah
You can be her apprentice...if you prove yourself first.
Girlboss: Navani
What else do you call snagging TWO warlord tyrants and toxic yuri-ing yourself into almost single-handedly ending an occupation?
3. The Shard Trio
Mansplain: Honor
He who sends visions to explain stuff to you.
Manipulate: Cultivation
She who gives you a cursing/blessing pair to make sure you end up exactly where she wants you to be...more or less.
Manslaughter: Odium
He who is preparing for a cosmere-wide war.
4. The Other Shard Trio
Gaslight: Ruin
"Yes! It's me! Your brother speaking in your head!"
Gatekeep: Preservation
"Look, I'm trying to keep you away from the Well of Ascension for your own good!"
Girlboss: Sazed
"Yes. It's me. Holding two shards at once. What, like it's hard?"
5. Vin & Her Boys
Manipulate: Kelsier
Yes, yes. He likes killing too. But ever since dying, he's really been going hard at the manipulate business.
Mansplain: Elend
This man is sure that explaining philosophy to someone will have an effect somewhere.
Manslaughter: Vin
Vin is mowing down entire armies. And she'll kill your dad too!
6. And Finally...Types of Investiture
Manipulate: AonDor
As far as I understand it, AonDor can do pretty much anything...as long as you manipulate those aons correctly...
Mansplain: Awakening
You do magic by giving commands to objects. Better hope you get the wording right...
Manslaughter: Hemalurgy
I mean...you get your power literally by killing people, so...
Gaslight: Forgery
You rewrite an object or person's history. It was always like that! Ha ha shhhh...
Gatekeep: Stormlight
Need more power? Sorry, those are locked behind oaths! Hope you find the right words soon!
Girlboss: Allomancy
Is there anything more girlboss than swigging some metal shards and suddenly being able to fly? No oaths, no checks, no equations...just eat some metal and become a boss!

completely slipped my mind but as The resident sussy baka fan what are your thoughts on princess bubblegum from adventure time
the episode structure for adventure time episodes is like nails on a chalkboard to me so I've only seen Elements, select clips of Stakes, a random assortment of early episodes and Time Adventure. That being said? PB is pretty cool
#pheb speaks#mdnl#i know she's magical immortal and made of sugar and is a scientist despite this#this is a good character design i think#OH YEAH i've also seen the episode where she beats the fuck out of that creepy heart who was stalking her or whatever#she was pretty girlboss in that good for her#my knowledge of adventure time is surprising considering how much of it ive actually watched#i know about simon betty and marceline. i'm just a lorekeeper like that#otherwise? blank#OH AND IVE ALSO SEEN ABSTRACT#but thats not an arc thats an episode (a damn good one)

He/him lesbian Josuke who has curves like a supermodel but only wears leather jackets and gets weak in the knees if someone calls him Sir
#Don't mind me I'm tapping into a part of my psyche that has never been rustled before#Never been into gender swap but my neurons...#Joejoeba not art#Koichi is a tiny girl with way too much wallop. Yukako just wants a good girlboss. Okuyasu is struggling like always#Femme Josuke in her suede shoes and leather jackets and leather pants... She loves her femininity along with her masculinity#Same dude saved her that's all the same#Admittedly I dont have experience with gender fucky pronouns. I'd do whatever a pretty girl told me obvi#He/him women is something I would linguistically have a hard time remembering but trust my my heart is in there

i love it ❣️
alternate caption: adventures in alpha hair
#ts4#the sims 4#sims 4#sims 4 screenshots#simblr#holocene.png#hlcn: yunha#alternate alternate caption: i love HER#btw i fear i may have to keep the alpha hairs i installed just for fun and testing purposes#the meshes are too good first of all and secondly...#yunha is a pretty girl! she needs to girlboss around my save in shiny alpha hairs#indeed i installed many gb of hairs just for one sim#and even recolored this one so it would have a proper black swatch instead of a weirdly grey washed out one#ANYWAY#also unrelated but yunha has tattoos now!#i mean okay she had ONE before but it disappeared from my cc folder (idk how) so i went on a spree over the weekend making tattoos for her#i need to keep editing them because some of the designs got a tad crunchy scaling them down to fit on the body texture#and also i want to delete and replace a few designs#but nonetheless! tada! tattoos!

I gotta ask, do survivors really hate playing against modern Skull Merchant? I find her aggressive setup playstyle really fun, and putting drones in unexpected places and then mindgaming survivors into going through them and injuring themselves I find super duper fun. Other setup killers like Trapper, Hag and Singularity rely really heavily on maps, while SM is workable most places (which is great for a dumbass with absolutely no ability to remember map layouts lmao)
Point is, I think that in her current state she's super fun. I played a round when she was first released and yeah, it was kinda lame, but I gave her another go recently and got completely hooked, pun entirely intended. I still see a lot of people hating her though and I try to make matches fun for everyone, so. Is she actually unfun to play against? Or is it just a bad reputation?
#dead by daylight#dbd#skull merchant#this is a genuine question btw! i really enjoy her weird aggressive trap kit she has now#but i see a lot of people despising her pretty violently and don't really get why outside of her (admittedly pretty shit) original design#i know. dbd community is the fucking worst. don't pay attention to it#but also I wanna know any specifics that survivors don't find fun to try and play around#that way we can all have a good time in this silly fuckin slasher game and this lame ass elon musk ass bitch!#(she is SUCH a dweeb i love her so much. she makes no sense whatsoever. girlboss behavior tbh)

No bc I’ll never forget Cheryl stealing for kicks when she was rich asf and getting two legacy serpents of color kicked out by the white boy who made his white northsider gf the serpent queen and gave Cheryl a customized jacket like fuck all y’all
#the racism in riverdale is so crazy#Bc I’m pretty sure it’s not even intentional#like It’s not that they want to make characters of color suffer#It’s that they actually see them as less than their white counterparts#like they made sweetpea and fang’s misogynistic outta nowhere to prop Cheryl up#so she could create her own lil girlboss gang with her blk gf that she ignores#like riverdale tried to be nuanced when it came to the north side vs southside#but like. they literally DO see the southside as less#like the writers are writing classist racist narratives and pretending it’s progressive#and It’s not even a point they’re making#It’s not a point they’re making that all these northsiders join gangs and play with their lives to make plays at eachother#they are seen as right and cool for doing that by the narrative and the fans#man riverdale could’ve been so good#my stupid ass thinking it was gonna be like Archie’s comics when it first came out 😨😨😨#me when riverdale wasnt like Archie’s weird mysteries 😱#and that’s not even the worst part bc I was like ooookkk murder mystery??#when it first came out. and the. they revealed how much they hate Black people a#anyways in my mind Toni runs the serpents and she kicked them northsiders tf out idgaf#sweet pea was always right about them

Iseult "I just wanna be nice and grow flowers but I have to keep punching people" Lanigera
#tmnt oc#iseult lanigera#Let it be said that if Iseult were a canon character I would be mad if people referred to her as a girlboss#She is pretty serious/fiercely independent and can handle herself in a fight#But she's incredibly empathetic and is described by her adoptive father as “too kind for her own good”#Also she definitely broke down in tears watching Bambi the first time#And some of her favorite songs to sing while doing chores are “It's Raining Men” by The Weather Girls#And Avril Lavigne's “Girlfriend”#Also if you value your life A) Do not hurt her plants and B) Refer to her as wet/damp/soggy etc

i feel bad for any pmmm fan following me just now bc like i love literally everything ive read and watched so far except for magireco and thats what im watching rn
#should play more portable to even that out#actually i still have no idea what the fandom consensus on the magireco anime is#i feel like ive barely seen content relating to the actual plot#my main issues are just that theres wayyyy too many characters to keep up with#and also that the plot feels like it was written by someone who thought kyubey had a point#and that the girls are indeed stupid and weak for making contracts and wanting to not be witches#when. ik people complain about that in the main anime but that was all demonized in the original#kyubey was. pretty blatantly in the wrong and the girls do make bad choices and hurt each other sure#but its because of their own situation and that theyre all pitted against each other bc of the system#and also kyubey literally preys on them at their worst moments like he gets sayaka despite her rejecting#he pressures madoka into it like he doesnt have a point hes just interested in exploiting the girls#and the ending of the anime is basically madoka getting a one up on him and going ''fuck you i WILL change our fate''#rewriting the literal laws of the world to save girls everywhere#and then magireco shits on that and goes ''ok but like girls who dont want to be witches are weak bitches lmao''#''oh yachiyo is a girlboss and a hardass because she sucks it up and accepts it while mifuyu is pathetic#because she has the audacity to not want to fight until she dies or becomes a monster to be tortured#also yachiyo mocks her and calls her weak for this and while she regrets it mifuyu reaffirms that shes right and a boss unlike her#shes a GOOD magical girl who knows she fucked up and owns up to it while mifuyu is a wimp. this is good writing.''#like the fact that they had to twist and bend the magias to be a cult and do these horrifying things to justify the whole#''oh the fate of us sucks but trying to escape it is the cowards way out'' thing#which like. yeah im sure thats the point but they keep hammering in that yachiyo is a girlboss for her stance basically#god. the climax of this better save this for me lol. the action is good the editing is good#its just the writing makes me want to eat rocks#echoed voice

#mine#txt#torchwood posting#that shit literally makes me nauseous like imagine being so proudly misogynistic#and i think it baffles me more bc i absolutely adore gwen like#a lot of the medias im into unfortunately dont treat their female characters v good. at least in regards to how well written they are#& how complex they're allowed to be. so while i rarely dislike them i often struggle to care about them bc theyre just. not given any spice#so when i started tw and i saw gwen i was like eee!! shes a disaster! shes flawed!! im intrigued and compelled!! yay!!!#so im consistently baffled whenever im reminded how ardently the fandom disliked her#like??????#and i think it's sm worse bc it was so often j/nto shippers#(i dont wanna put this in their tag i think theyre mostly normal now jfdkkf)#i luv when the fujos who woobify ianto n rub their heteronormative hands all over a gay ship...#... turn around and hate a woman. like hmm. Alright. Ok Guys.#luv to see it 😍 (im being sarcastic)#anyway gwen bashers die by my sword#shes a cringefail girlboss and i luff her#also?? eve is soooo fucking pretty imagine hating that face. couldnt be me in a million years

My Contradiction headcanon is that Rebecca probably got a miniscule sentence: wrongful or negligent death charge at most. Because, a) she's minted and could afford a good laywer, b) so much of the evidence Jenks dug up is not admissible in court because of his... dubious procedure (theft, burglary, questioning her, and pressuring a confession with reading her rights/not recording). So basically, all she has to say is that she saw Kate fall into the lake and didn't attempt to save her. As long as she doesn't mention the stick shebang. And given that Jenks contaminated so much of the evidence, that's dubious, too. Girly is 100% in the clear and out within a handful of years at MOST
#txt#not adon#contradiction#rebecca#additional her dna could be on the licence for the sole reason that shes a bartender like. its a good reason#she would be so fine lol#be free girlboss. murder more people it's funny#wrongful death not manslaughter bc theres a pretty distinct difference in uk law#contradiction headcanons

I cannot believe there are people in this fandom that like Karen Wheeler
#karen wheeler#we have seen a different show#her interactions w. billy in s3 were AWFUL#genuinely inexcusable#and her character is so bland!#pretty much every other character. i can at least understand why they have fans#but KAREN#just because she had a girlboss scene?? just stan joyce the canonically good mother#anyways. this has been a rant
