Now, raise the sword called determination

Fuuuck yes dude its reading too much into a side character time

has YOUR favorite fictional woman over the age of 30 experienced fandom misogyny from people who are mad at Their Mom From Real Life? call our offices, toll-free, day or night. we're the nation's #1 law firm that specializes in defending adult women who make choices and have character traits. if the prosecution has started calling her a selfish bitch, pick up the phone today!!!

to be honest i think there’s a large number of people who conflate the very real and widespread phenomenon that women tend to be written off as just mothers or love interests in order to diminish their importance in a given story with the fact that a huge reason they’re sent to narrative purgatory in this way is BECAUSE the labels of “mother” and “girlfriend/wife” are systematically devalued and seen as inherently inferior because they’re terms that have been associated with ownership and/or control over women. like the amount of people who’ve told me that a certain female character is uninteresting or badly written because she happened to have a kid or be a man’s girlfriend or sister just to find out she was actually fleshed out very well and carried significant narrative importance frustrates me soo bad. there’s a huge problem with how those roles (specifically “wife” and “mother”) are systematically devalued and yet also perpetuated as the only viable options for women to achieve their societal roles in the patriarchy but acknowledging the devaluation of those labels to begin with is an important discussion in itself.

opened my wip and didnt immediately write a thousand new beautiful and perfect words so i'm going to smash my laptop with a hammer

I REALLY LIKE BEING TRANSGENDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HOPE YOU DO TOO!!!!!!!!!

im so serious though. i think that being transgender is really commonly made into a point of suffering and strife so i just want to say that even though stuff sucks very often, it is really very beautiful to be trans. it is very beautiful to adapt and change and realize things about yourself and change your name and your pronouns and grow into yourself. dare i say it is uniquely gorgeous to be trans. who else can say they have remade themselves in such a way. who else transforms so wonderfully into themselves. its us!!! we're lovely

the kids are calling them "stone fruits." they start off small—think cherries. then they're hooked and they need a quick fix, they get peaches, maybe some nectarines. it's all they can think about. before you know it, they're trying the really hard stuff—apricots, plums. once they taste a mango there's no going back.

can you imagine how good shows would be if writers thought of women as human beings

can you imagine how good fandoms would be if fans thought of women as human beings

it is very important to have a friend who you can vent your problems to and will tell you to kill and kill and kill

however! it is also very important to be able to hold paws and love the world with that same friend forever. #balance #peace #friendship
