Please reblog from only ONE of your blogs!

All the evil, all the conspiracy, all the resentment are real.

And so is all the love.

Since it's highly unlikely that the lyrics to a song are literally just "Oooohhh, encouraging song...encouraging song~🎶", I hc that Chlorine used to write and compose her own music, and sometimes, she'd figure out the tune before she figured out the words. Then, until she managed to finalise them, she'd hum or sing it with placeholder lyrics pertaining to the overall mood or theme of the song.

Sometimes, Maureen would goof around with Chlorine's unfinished songs, bursting into melodies that were just "OoOhOhoooo sad music, suUuUuuuuChH a sad sooooonggg...🎶🎵", or they'd dance together while going "We🎵 are🎵siiinging🎵 such a🎵 lively🎵song!🎵" while simultaneously doubling over with laughter from how ridiculous the temporary words were.

I had so much fun making this. Haven’t animated anything since high school, but here we are!

The audio is from one of my favourite party quirks they’ve done! Linked below :)

starting with the characters who are more thought out and planned, maureen and sarge.

maureen is revered and admired and while not exactly hyper feminine, she is defined by the stereotype of the femme fatale and (even if not intentionally at least implicitly) sexualized

sarge is also admired, crushed on, and respected deeply which is i think in large part because of her masculinity

then with long form characters, they are most often defined by their roles in other peoples lives (friends, sisters, mothers, wives, girlfriends, love interests) rather than by their own stories.

mary in murders in space is defined by her mission to rescue her husband, even if she is absolutely brilliant, and that is acknowledged right at the end. cindy campbell is reduced to a cheesy rom/com love interest and daughter despite having way better main character development potential than john james. alice laura is defined by being jimmys sister and john david’s daughter, even if she can summon a portal to hell its not about her. amanda in cdiyw is clarissa’s supportive friend, clarissa spends the whole story trying to win mark back.

and i could go on.

the nature of sfth’s close knit unchanging group gives them the strength of knowing how to weave a perfect narrative together but it also is the weakness to their storytelling because they’re four cis men. they don’t have the lived experience to authentically represent other peoples’ stories

do they play women respectfully? yes. are their portrayals fun and engaging? yes. are the roles the women fall into within the stories limiting and a result of society being misogynistic? also yes.
