#women's wrongs

[aboredgremlin]

I cannot explain to you how much I love this woman.

She is a revolutionary. She summons demons. She only wears pastels. She is a big fan of the guillotine. She talks to her animal friends. She killed her father. She rides a dragon. She is going to fuck a vampire. She is crashing the fuck out.

She is without flaw.

I'll never understand why Lily is always just portrayed as a perfect social justice warrior who's some golden standard for the boys to try and reach up to and who's right all the time instead of an actual, flawed person. We hardly have anything about her in canon, so why do ppl insist on sticking to the same trope? I have often seen lily being portrayed as rather complex, in the sense of examining how the society impacts her, but not in the sense of being her being flawed or not immediately (or ever) right about/ good at everything

Prejudice is ingrained in the wizarding world, those fuckers like to hate on literally everyone, so there's a huge chance that their literature is going to be biased as well. Give me a lily who's trying to understand and navigate this completely new world with mythical creatures from scratch and who believes what the society tells her about them (even decent wizards like the Weasleys had certain prejudices, like against werewolves,half giants, and house elves,it's not just the Slytherins and DEs, so how can she tell what's right or wrong immediately?), and who takes a while to understand that it's the same sort of prejudice she's facing (much like ppl in the real world). Give me a lily who doesn't immediately, or ever, completely understand the complications of politics and the upcoming war as well as, say, characters like Sirius because, well, she's still a child who's new to all of this, and it's not the sort of thing she's ever had to concern herself with (unlike Sirius who grew up in a family that placed heavy influence on social standing). Give me a lily who's ready to make excuses for Snape not out of any reason that would make her look sympathetic, but simply because it wasn't affecting her personally until now (before anyone tries to point to that incident of her calling Snape out on his friends hexing Mary McDonald, she only raised concerns about Snape's company coz they performed dark magic, not because of their racist beliefs).

Or if that's too much to handle, we could at least stick to the few flawed things she does in canon. Like when she doesn't care to listen to Snape's version of the werewolf incident and relies on rumours instead, or when she almost smiles when Snape's pants are being exposed in front of a jeering crowd. People try to spin that around too to make Lily's perspective understandable and sympathetic, and sure, everyone has their own takes, but idk, there seems to be this great necessity to make it such that she's not viewed in a negative light for anything

Hot take, but ppl like to go on abt how women in fiction or in the fandom are critiqued too much, how people can't handle complex female characters, and how much they support women's wrongs, but they always end up confining female characters to being Good and Right all the time and characterize any constructive criticism/negative portrayal of the character as being wrong or mysoginistic.

It's all "I love mean women!" "I want a women to insult me and then step on me!" until she looks like a taller hotter gremlin and then suddenly you all have problems with Lae'zel

I have no such weakness

The Faceless Old Woman and The Woman from Italy are besties in canon and a power couple in my heart ^_^

(They're listening to the oh-so-romantic sound of screaming, despair, existensial dread, and car alarms.)

I intended to write a Regency romance

I'm actually writing an 18th century-style travelogue with long tangents about anarchocommunist perspectives on textile manufacturing.

I'm not mad, just ... confused

Most powerful affirmation is "I believe in women's wrongs." Try it. Your life will get so much better.

It's Pride Month, so Olivier Mira Armstrong should be allowed to commit even more war crimes and bully even more teenagers for developing ptsd.

It's called supporting Lesbian wrongs.

Here is our second preview of the official cover for the Women's Wrongs zine, crafted by the wonderful @hereforanepilogue!

As a reminder, pre-orders are still open and will remain so until December 31st! More information here.

I honestly love how, in the in-universe years between Devil May Cry 3 and 4, Lady went from "little traumatized ball of hatred and vengeance" to "Known to force her dirty work upon her 'friend', then demand vast sums of compensation in return" (direct quote from her character file). She's thriving and happy now. Excellent character development there, every Devil May Cry protagonist should be a menace to society especially the women. I support women's wrongs.

The three druids seem to stand between her and them like a shield. Olodan’s voice is gentle and comforting as they offer aid, and Kagha wants to lay down the weight on her shoulders, but she can’t. There is nobody else to take it up. She aches to turn into tail and claw and escape into the cracks of the walls like they do. But there is nobody fit to take the weight, and she will not leave it unattended. She stands tall as ever, despite the weight.

The Archdruid is dead. Must be dead. She has accepted that she is left to lead alone, and she will do so as best she can. They knew the shape of things all along, and now, finally, so does she.

The Grove dims, roots rotting away as the parasites dig in deeper, entrench themselves as if they belong.
