#women supporting (fictional) women

[langernameohnebedeutung]

ngl, I'm beginning to take issue with how in conversations about anti-intellectualism almost automatically, the face of girls and women will be slapped on the problem.

"sad that there are no female characters like Lestat"

"ARE there any female characters like Lestat?"

[15 minutes of runaway thought-trains later]

"Help I Cannot Decide Which of Actual Real Historical Figures Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (1873-1954), Julie D'Aubigny (1673-1707), or Charlotte Cushman (1816-1876) Was The Female Lestat"

(they're all missing the critical 50 Divorces From One Specific Partner They Keep Coming Back To, although Cushman came the closest in the latter half of her life. sorry, Emma Stebbins- you're going to get cheated on with an 18-year-old by your fortysomething wife)

On this blog, we love and support Jazz Fenton

She is:

A big sister

A model student

A badass™ (canonically she can use martial arts)

studying to get a degree in psychology from an ivy League school

well adjusted despite a chaotic home life

Empathetic towards everyone

A moral compass In the lives of her family

Supportive of her fellow students (especially her little brother)

Respectful towards teachers

Self conscious about her place in the world

Overbearing

A flawed human being.

All in all, a well rounded character. 10/10. Well designed, well portrayed, well voice acted. Compliments to the chef.

Attractiveness should not be equated with morality. Which is why I actually encourage media to show beautiful fictional women doing horrible horrible things.

to ME sirius has never done anything wrong in his life but it’s not in that ‘i ignore his canonical bad decisions’-way it’s in that ‘i don’t care that those decisions are bad’-way. i know he’s made bad decisions. i know he’s a prick. i simply think they’re all charming quirks your honour idk what to tell you.

I hope we don’t find out Xaden’s mom is some damsel in distress somewhere and we find out she was kidnapped by some villain. She was contractually obligated to give Fen, a man she probably didn’t love, an heir. I really think it would be a more interesting story if she really left because she was seriously unhappy and wanted to be with her family again

Toxic yaoi this, toxic yuri that

How about your lover sucking the toxins out of your system because you got bit by a snake walking through the woods and also it's 1903, turn of the century, and you're two queers hiding in the wilderness, brought together by Arthur Morgan's death and the death of your husbands years prior, seeking comfort each other's company, conflicted because this is the first friend that you've had in this cruel world, and yet feeling something more beneath the surface, but you can't make a move on it because you're two women and she's a good Christian woman and you're just a ghost, some outlaw roaming the outskirts of society

You know when you read a piece of fiction - book, short story, fanfic, what have you - and there’s just one tiny detail that just takes you completely out of the story?

I just read a passage in a piece of original fiction where the main character hugs a friend and tells us she smells like the ‘delicate rose and jasmine of her familiar Chanel No 5’ and my brain just screeched to a halt. Tell me you googled ‘famous fancy perfume’ and picked the first two scent notes you saw without telling me. Many things can be said about that particular fragrance I don’t think anybody with a working nose would describe it as ‘delicate florals’.

I've not reread wings of fire in a few years (an issue, I'm aware. I'm working on it) and only remember bits and pieces, but I love Thorn and her massive 'only realized im a lesbian after having incredibly underwhelming sex w a guy and getting pregnant but i love my child so much she's everything to me' vibes

It is very disappointing to be connected to Australians on this website only to quickly discover they are terfs.
