#not men

sometimes i just wanna give the loudest dog sigh ever and pout and stare at someone until they give me treats and show me love

destined to be supremely unhappy in life because it's not possible to physically wrap The Character up in a blanket and give her a gentle kiss on the forehead :(

Istg if this chapter’s culprit is another woman I will sob hysterically please let it be a man please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please I don’t care which one no offense to Whit and Charles they’re cool but like if I had to choose between either of them and a woman I would choose the woman I’m sorry although I do hope it’s not either of them they’re like 2 out of the 3 drdt men I actually tolerate losing them would be a shame bcs then we’d be stuck with the batshit crazy ones and I hate the batshit crazy ones they’re scary and not even in like a super fine woman way they’re just eugh. Like ick. Like ew. If this chapter’s culprit is a woman at least let her eat up her last moments like Celestia Ludenberg did 😞🙏 Like if it’s Hu like a lot of people are saying it is then I hope she gets to beat David into a comatose state before she dies because she definitely deserves that‼️

Just saw someone say, under a video critisising people who villify flawed female characters, go on about how they shouldn’t even be called flaws, and how they’re just girls who can get what they want, and how “noone calls the men out for anything”. First of all, way to miss the point so utterly completely. Second, a flaw is a flaw regardless of gender. To let them all go equally unaddressed is pure bullshit, and exactly how you get people, who look at cautionary tales and call them “bad writing, because they could’ve done x and x”. Yeah, no fucking SHIT Tracy, THAT’S WHY IT’S MARKETED AS FICTION, NOT A SET OF INSTRUCTIONS FOR REAL LIFE Third, you’re LITERALLY part of the problem you’re (I’m assuming) trying to fight against in the first place. You’re JUST as afraid of making women who are imperfect and wrong, and I am sick and TIRED of people confusing catering morality and reality to a character’s whims for empowerment. LET WOMEN BE WRONG. LET YOUR FEMALE CHARACTER BE SELFISH, EMOTIONAL, MAKE BAD DECISIONS, LET THEM BE HUMAN FOR FUCK’S SAKE, AND LET THEM EXPECIENCE THE CONSEQUENCES OF IT TOO. You don’t have to glorify all-consuming anger or hatred, or even just impulsivity, in order to let it exist in a woman. Just like you can call reactions valid and understandable without calling it the right course of action. For fuck’s goddamned sake. When making a character, you’re trying to write a person, write a LIFE, and part of that is something called “personal growth”, WHICH YOU CAN’T GET IF THERE’S NOWHERE TO GROW. Even if you don’t intend to have her grow as a person through your story, (which is fine and could be executed wonderfully, if done right), you still can’t just have a female character who never does or has done anything wrong ever (according to the standards of the story), and expect it to be treated as some pinacle of feminism. Same goes for if you’re just a fan interacting with pre-existing media. YOU CAN AKNOWLEDGE FLAWS IN CHARACTERS YOU LIKE. PLEASE. I’M LITERALLY BEGGING YOU ATP.
