i want more media to include women who "look like men." like, i'm sick of the fact that pop media's idea of a masculine woman is still just a skinny, slightly muscular woman with hair no shorter than a pixie cut and a natural makeup look. that or she's only considered more "masculine" due to racism.

a) gender presentation is just as much a spectrum as gender identity

b) gender roles are social constructs, not immutable biological truths

c) "social construct" ≠ "unimportant." we are taxonomically a social species.

d) some ways of breaking a culture's gender norms are more stigmatized than others. this is worthy of note.

3. favorite POV (first/second/third/etc)

hahahaha SECOND. you caught me. ok no i feel like i've talked a lot about how much i love writing in second person before so i guess i wasn't that sneaky. i don't do it a lot, largely because i like it specifically with a certain sort of story that i haven't found myself writing recently, but i enjoy it a bunch. third person is a close second. first is waaaaaaaay way back there in last, i feel weirdly uncomfortable writing in first person.

skipping 5 because i did that one and it's not the kind of thing i can really dig up more answers for

11. what are your weaknesses wrt writing?

on top of the things i mentioned before: god, like, plot. i'm astoundingly bad at plots that go beyond "person navigates a relationship, feels some things." pacing is also a weak spot for me, although i'm definitely working on it.

4. what are some themes you love writing about?

in addition to the stuff i listed earlier, i love BEST FRIENDSHIPS, both effortlessly positive ones and ones that are harder and require active work. i also love to write people struggling with ambiguity and an inability to categorize/articulate.

8. is there a character you love writing for the most? the least? why?

oh jeez, i have SUCH a type when it comes to characters i enjoy writing the most. or two types, i guess. the one i find easiest is kind-of-angry, introverted, abrasive types, not so much because i'm like them myself (although i guess i can be) but because it's the sort of headspace i find it easiest to slip into when i'm writing their pov, for whatever reason. the type i ENJOY most is probably the kate bishop type. i was trying to elaborate on that but yeah, no, that sums it up pretty well, i think: kate bishop and those like her.

like i said, easy peasy. :)))))
