Mary Sue, what are you? or why the concept of Sue is sexist
Looks like this essay was needed, so I went ahead and did it. Not sure I said everything I wanted to say, but I tried.
So, there’s this girl. She’s tragically orphaned and richer than anyone on the planet. Every guy she meets falls in love with her, but in between torrid romances she rejects them all because she dedicated to what is Pure and Good. She has genius level intellect, Olympic-athelete level athletic ability and incredible good looks. She is consumed by terrible angst, but this only makes guys want her more. She has no superhuman abilities, yet she is more competent than her superhuman friends and defeats superhumans with ease. She has unshakably loyal friends and allies, despite the fact she treats them pretty badly. They fear and respect her, and defer to her orders. Everyone is obsessed with her, even her enemies are attracted to her. She can plan ahead for anything and she’s generally right with any conclusion she makes. People who defy her are inevitably wrong.
God, what a Mary Sue.
I just described Batman.
Wish fulfillment characters have been around since the beginning of time. The good guys tend to win, get the girl and have everything fall into place for them. It’s only when women started doing it that it became a problem.
TV Tropes on the origin of Mary Sue:
The prototypical Mary Sue is an original female character in a fanfic who obviously serves as an idealized version of the author mainly for the purpose of Wish Fulfillment.
Notice the strange emphasis on female here. TV Tropes goes on to say that is took a long time for the male counterpart “Marty Stu” to be used. “Most fanfic writers are girls” is given as the reason. So when women dominate a genre, that means people are on close watch, ready to scorn any wish fulfillment they may engage in. This term could only originate if the default was female.
In fact, one of the CONTROVERSIES listed on the TV Tropes page is if a male sue is even possible. That’s right, it’s impossible to have an idealized male character. Men are already the ideal.
In our culture, male tends to be the default. Women take on the distaff parts. “Him” and “mankind” are what humanity are, “her” and “womankind” are secondary. Yet this isn’t true for Mary Sue as a term. That name was created first. It was a Star Trek fic that coined it and the female designation was likely a big reason it caught on. Thus, a female name is the default to use when describing idealized characters. Marty Stu and Gary Stu are only to be used if you’re discussing men specifically. Heck, there isn’t even an agreed upon term for them. So the only time female can be default is when discussing a badly written character, someone who is more powerful or important or liked than they should be allowed to be, someone the plot focuses on more than you would like, someone you don’t want to read about. Hmmm.
What’s really wrong with a thirteen year old girl having a power fantasy, even if it’s badly written? Who is it hurting? Men have baldly admitted to writing power fantasies and self inserts since the beginning of time. How many nerdy, schlubby guys suddenly become badasses and have hot girls chasing after them in fiction? See: Spiderman- blatant everyman who happens to stumble across amazing powers and catch the eye of a supermodel. Mary Sue is considered the worst insult to throw at a character as it renders them worthless. But since when are idealized characters automatically worthless? Aren’t all heroes idealized in some way? Don’t all heroes represent the author in some way? Aren’t these characters supposed to be people we look up to, people who represent human potential, the goodness that we strive for? Fantasy by nature is idealized, even the tragic ones.
If you look at the TV Tropes page for Mary Sue, it’s ridiculous. You can be a sue for having too many flaws, or not enough, for fixing things or messing things up, for being a hero or a villain. And of course, this is specifically pointed out as a trope related to the Princess and Magical Girl genres- genres aimed towards women are naturally full of Mary Sues. Magical girls are powerful and heroic and actually flaunt femininity as a good thing. They are a power fantasy designed for girls. So of course, a girl using traditionally feminine traits to dominate and triumph means she’s a sickeningly pure Mary Sue who makes everything go their way. Feminine traits are disdained and look down on, so when the positive feminine traits are prominent, the reader has an aversive reaction. How can a character be so feminine and triumph? She must be unrealistic, she must be badly written, because everyone knows it is impossible to be feminine and powerful.
Let’s look at what kinds of Mary Sues people will point to. People will claim a female character is a Mary Sue if she is a love interest. Put a female character within a foot of a male character, and people will scream “Mary Sue!” Why does someone falling in love with her make her a Mary Sue? Well, she hasn’t “earned” this awesome dude character’s love. What has she done to show she’s worthy of him? Fans miss the irony that this line of logic makes the male character seem more like the Sue in Question, as he’s apparently so perfect one has work for his coveted love and praise.
The idea that woman has to “earn” any power, praise, love, or plot prominence is central to Mary Sue. Men do not have to do this, they are naturally assumed to be powerful, central and loveable. That’s why it’s the first thing thrown at a female character- what has she done to be given the same consideration as a male character? Why is she suddenly usurping a male role? “Mary Sue” is the easiest way to dismiss a character. It sounds bad to say “I don’t like this female character. I don’t like that this woman is powerful. I don’t like it when the plot focuses on her. I don’t like that a character I like has affections for her.” But “Mary Sue” is a way to say these things without really saying them. It gives you legitimacy.
If a character is badly written, there’s generally something much more problematic than idealization going on. The plot will be dull and the character will perpetuate harmful stereotypes while other characters act oddly. For instance, Bella Swan is one of the only characters I’d even begin to classify as a Mary Sue, yet it’s not really her supposed Mary Sue traits that bother me. I don’t mind that she gets what she wants and everyone loves her, that she’s Meyer’s power fantasy. What I actually mind is that Stephenie Meyer has her perpetuate harmful anti-woman stereotypes- women need to be protected, women are shallow, women’s worth rests in desirability. That’s what’s actually harmful about her and worth discussing. I would criticize that rather than even get to the fact Bella got to be “too perfect and powerful”- that’s just a tiny, insignificant thing not worth mentioning in a huge pile of problems.
And that’s why I don’t call characters Mary Sue anymore. There’s really nothing bad about a power fantasy or wish fulfillment. It’s what’s fiction’s about. If one of my characters is called a Sue, I’ll proudly say “yep”, because that must mean that she broke out of that box a female character is supposed to be in. So I’ll go and say it: I love me some Mary Sues.

This is like one of those romance novels where people bond over accidentally writing each other emails but better.
Like Pride and Prejudice but instead of the love interest getting dissed for his toxicity and then reforming, it’s just two people bonding over dissing a dead toxic asshole.
So some asshole has thought up a new Tumblr scam: it's a post on a Tumblr account that's named something to make it look official-ish.
Variations include:
account-help
account-sync
account-update
account-updating
These posts show up on your dashboard, telling you that because they think you've monetized your Tumblr account, they're putting you in the penalty box sending you to the cornfield setting you to "Lurker Mode" where you can post but no one will see your posts. And, naturally, all you have to do is click on the helpful link to give tumblrsupport your account data to get it fixed.
Friends, this is a big fat lie.
The official location of Tumblr Support is https://www.tumblr.com/support or https://support.tumblr.com. And guess what? They'll already have your account information.
Tumblr has no such thing as Lurker Mode.
If you right-click on their link, you'll see it's a munged/shortened link. You can go to a site like https://www.expandurl.net to expand that link and see where it takes you: it's not Tumblr Support.
@staff, please be aware this is happening.
Be aware. Be careful. Don't give your account info to anyone. Be safe, and happy blogging!

Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.
AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. They’ve warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropic’s AI training now threatens to “financially ruin” the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement.
Authors have until March 30th, 2026 (That is just 9 days as of this reblog, which I am posting on March 21st, 2026) to file their claim against Anthropic to be reimbursed up to $3,000 per work found in the list.
Updated February 18, 2026 IMPORTANT: The Claims Deadline Is March 30 Background Bartz v. Anthropic is one of the major copyright lawsuits b
Please click the above link for all of the exact details of how to file a claim and to check for your works, and share this post as far and wide as you can before March 30th, 2026!
The mv is about Mizuki looking back at her time with Niigo, her present self looking back at the past, and her being in different outfits to denote the time shes looking back at.
Mizuki at the start I believe is her during the Mizu5-Ena5 break as she's in her 3rd anni fit + shes lying on the floor with the flower which represents herself, surrounded by clothes implying shes on the floor of her room, hiding away from everyone. The lyrics also refer a good day being ruined by the rain, which then Mizuki flickers to her middle school self, she had been outed, "cast into the rain". Also Rain is used to imply Ena typically, which makes this section even more soul crushing I think.
We then see a locket containing NIIGO, which Mizuki holds very dear to herself, her present self remembering the pain she has endured
"we seek umbrellas to stand shelter to the rain" I think is also another nod back to Mizu5 with her coming onto the rooftops, but also to use as her in Mizu7 leaving the house in her train.
We have more of Present-Mizu looking back at previous events. I'm seeing the drawings being cut off as Mizuki is not able to look at her friends at the time, afraid of what they'd truly think of her being trans, not being able to face what is in front of her
The other Niigo members are also calling back to past events: Kanade = Kana1, Mafuyu = Mizu4, Ena = Mizu2/Ena5, all events in which Mizuki helped her friends, or they helped her.
"Those smiles are your fault" being how Mizuki has been helping her friends herself, her present self calling to her past to get her to understand her value to the people around her, and that she can be true to herself and happy. "I wish for your happiness, I dread the inevitable end" I think being again Mizu5, the visual of Mizuki falling plays on scree, disrupting her happiness and living miserably. I also think it can be seen as Niigo ending when everyone is saved. Will they all still be friends when the connection of suffering is over?
This illustration with the dove, ofc meaning peace which Mizuki has found, with her past self-hatred behind her going into the light (dying?). its just a beautiful scene. Trans joy...
I think this section is an amazing way of getting the idea of self reflection across, looking into the flower (herself) and into the mirror, finally seeing herself despite everything.
This part of the MV is clearly Ena5, the hand reaching out to Mizuki crying in her uniform. the lyrics talking about being glad to meet someone, likely meaning nightcord as they helped her accept herself. Though it can also be about her present self looking back, happy she had to go through all she did to come to where she is right now. A lot of this section of lyrics also going over "wanting to save you" and "what ifs" on being abandoned, I think also can be referring to her past self.
When you look back on yourself, you can think of things going better or worse, how things could have been changed or gone differently but in the end everything lead you to where you are. even if its painful, or you feel selfish, clinging on anyway. The montage I think, beautifully encapsulates it.
Mizuki closes her eyes, thinks about her past again, and her friends' faces as they helped her. This time, for how the moment was, no misremembering or feeling sorry for herself. Opening her eyes in the present to march ahead into her future
Mizuki stands now bathed in light, removed from her past, fully able to enjoy herself. we have zooms of her dress, made by herself, zooming on the scissors. I think this visual is particularly powerful, the dress she wears, made herself, standing so everyone can see her. The tools she used to craft it on her belt, the tools to make her current self still with her to shape her future. She looks proud and happy as she goes outside, ready for what comes next.
A slow pan of Mizuki and her friends, the image that was in her locket at the start of the music video. Thanking them for helping her become the person she is now, to be happy and free. Also Ena leaning on Mizuki's shoulder to represent how close they now are, being able to live together in harmony (shown again in Mafuyus trained which is well expained here)
the lyrics apologising for being weak and selfish, Mizuki apologising to her past self for her shortcomings affecting her past. Being selfish meaning for her to keep her secret even if it was only harming her more, being weak for not telling her friends who now sit with her smiling and accepting.
The final scene being Mizuki, in her present. Looking back at us, likely looking at her past as her eyes are closed. Wishing for her happiness which she now gets to live.
