we need more pathetic female characters written by authors who don't hate women

[feluka]

to be clear since this is making the rounds: she has to be an absolute loser in no way that can be pinned on her gender. no "i'm just a girl tee-hee" stuff. straight up just a loser (nondenominational)

[feluka]

addendum: she must be the most important person in the whole narrative

[feluka]

I decided to sit down and concentrate and properly write the list of rules that qualify a character for this role.

FIRST LAW: This character must be a woman.

SECOND LAW: This character must be a loser, but not in a way that can be pinned on her gender. Misogynistic response from the audience does not disqualify the character.

THIRD LAW: If the audience does not enjoy this character, then it becomes impossible to enjoy the show/film/book/game altogether. It is not possible to ignore this character, for better or for worse.

FOURTH LAW: The character must make bad decisions, and not just be a victim of poor circumstances outside of her control. The character can also be a victim of poor circumstances outside of her control, but it has to be primarily her personal choices that deem her a loser.

Violet's death & Mizu's self-hatred.

I don't know if someone already noticed or analyzed this before, but I'm going to talk about it anyway.

As we know, Mizu killed one white "man" before the current events of the show.

It was first mentioned in episode 3, in the meeting with Heiji Shindo.

Mizu confidently says that currently there are 3 white men in Japan, which implies that she was already able to get to one of them.

So from that moment on we are sure she got to kill and get her revenge on one white man, but we don't know anything about how she was able to find them and who they were yet.

This changes at the end of episode 6 though.

When Mizu finally gets to face Fowler in the castle where he was hiding.

After Fowler takes over Mizu, he mentions a certain "Violet", to be precise, he states that "something happened to old Violet" and "was that you?” is the question he asks right after since he understands how dedicated Mizu is to her revenge.

(little note: in other languages Fowler refers to Violet with the “she/her” pronouns)

Thanks to that we know that the white "man" Mizu killed might be a woman, an old white woman named Violet.

Now.

Let's go back to episode 2, before the Four Fangs get to Mizu, she has a strange “vision” of her killing her older self, well at least that’s what I thought at first due to the missing information.

That, in fact, is not a “vision” but a flashback.

A flashback to when Mizu killed Violet.

What we can see is Mizu breaking through what seems to be a house, approaching an old woman sitting on a couch.

Now, the question is, why does she have Mizu’s face?

The answer is quite easy: Mizu’s self-hatred.

Mizu repudiates her white “half”, so deeply that she feels a strong desire to eradicate it from herself.

That leads Mizu to subconsciously switch Violet’s face with her own. As if part of her “impure” blood gets purified whenever she takes away the life of a white man she swore to get revenge on, because they’re actually the ones who made her, in everyone’s and, as a consequence, even in her own eyes, a monster.

—

Lastly I want to add that this is just MY theory, what I stated might not be totally correct. (if you think differently I’d love to see your theory in the comments, I’m curious to know what do you think of the “flashback/vision” Mizu had)

Okay soo, this was all. I honestly can’t wait to know more of Mizu’s past in season 2.

See you there.

you said something about lycoris recoil and it got me intrigued. do you have yuri recs that aren’t mainly about teenagers? i’m looking for some but i have no idea where to find them. i’ve watched shows like chaser game w, she loves to cook and she loves to eat, and ayaka is in love with hiroko, but i’ve had no luck with animation so far :(

ok i wrote a whole response to this but then i went to google smth and it disappeared so thank u tumblr mobile omg 😭 i will try to remember what i said ok

so first of all idk if u meant by this that u have watched lycoris recoil but if u haven’t i think u should watch it anyway bc it is sooooo good u will have the best time EVER i promise u that…..i know they are teenagers but i also dont like watching things abt teenagers & it didn’t bother me in the animation format w this show specifically u can just ignore it & pretend they’re like 20 idk i promise it’s so good 😭😭😭 it is totally worth it if u haven’t watched it it changed my life

ok second of all unfortunately i don’t really have much for u….if u r not aware i spent my entire summer after my first yr of law school watching horror & lesbian animes so i was legit scouring for them i KNOWWW the term is yuri i just like saying lesbian anyway i dont think i really came across anything that was abt adults but i think that’s kind of an issue w anime overall bc i also noticed that when i was looking for horror animes that they were like all abt teenagers i think i only watched one that was abt adults but that was not lesbian. but idk i am not an anime enjoyer so i dont really know abt that but point being i searched far & wide for all the lesbian animes there are AND my friend who is an anime enjoyer also sent me a list of lesbian animes she found (and she was specifically looking for ones that were recommended by lesbians when she was looking). so the thing is that i did not watch all of them bc i can only watch dubs bc of my focus issues so i dont have every single one i found on hand to check but i will say i do know of one where they are not minors but may still be teenagers? idk if that is an issue for u. but in otherside picnic they r college students (not freshman) tho it isn’t explicitly romantic but it is intended to be lesbian on purpose. i watched the first ep but i had to rewatch lycoris recoil & then i started law school again so i didn’t continue it but i did enjoy the first ep it combined my interest of lesbian and horror so. i did check my watchlist & nothing else on there was not teenagers but i am going to find the list my friend gave me in my texts & see if anything there w/o a dub was not teenagers. ok i should have done that first & just given u a more condensed response but um i cant do that for reasons. one sec. (saving as a draft this time so as to not lose my extremely long response)

ok um. idk if u want explicit romance or not bc 😭 my friend told me abt an anime called nana which she said has lesbian subtext & they r 20 in that. english dub is on hulu idk why i didn’t add it to my watchlist but yeah.

again on the same explicit romance note but she also told me abt one called canaan where the characters r 20 & there is heavy lesbian subtext.

so yeah…..that’s it 😭 not a lot of lesbian animes period but even less abt full adults unfortunately……but u can always watch lycoris recoil if u haven’t & pretend & have the best time ever ever ever!!!!!

[avvatrice]

hey i’m so happy and grateful that you put such care into replying to this. i’m watching the first episode of lycoris recoil as I type this and it definitely looks as interesting as you made it sound!

your advice (looking at lists made by other lesbians) is actually something i hadn’t thought of, so thank you for taking time to answer. I have all the names you mentioned on my list now haha
