FEMALE MOVIE/TV RECS (PART 8 / COMEDY & ROMCOMS)

got inspired from a recommendation post so decided to make a list of movies and shows with female-centric stories/female protagonists. since i can't post all of the genres in one post, i'll split it into multiple posts and y'all can save or add to the list as you wish. (disclaimer: i have watched most of these, but i only know about the existence of others. not every movie/show on these lists will be my recommendation. my recommendations will be beneath the list with reasons. also some of these are way better than others in terms of storytelling/performance--which is why i'll list my faves separately):

Common Themes/Tropes:

-Quirky girlfailures and losergirls being disastrous (and learning they're still loveable)

-Women causing carnage (sometimes) unintentionally

-Women getting into shenanigans with their friends/sisters

-Features many equally if not more dumbass male antagonists (or sidekicks)

-Financial struggle subplot

-BFFs and sisters > everything else (even the d)

-Lots of sex and money talk usually

-The Struggle of Dating TM

-I Still Feel 12 & Stupid TM

WHAT I'D RECOMMEND:

Abbott Elementary (9/10) (too many amazing female characters!)

Such Brave Girls (8/10) (Derry Girls as adults)

Kajillionaire (7/10) (the protagonist is so weird and loveable, top tier ending)

Isn't It Romantic (6.5/10) (fun and knows exactly what it needs to be)

Fleabag (?/10) (haven't watched but I know it's good)

Kevin Can F**k Himself (9.5/10) (genuinely so so so so good some of the most clever and sincere storytelling I've seen in a while)

Hacks (7.5/10) (the two female leads are hilarious in their own ways and so human!)

NOT LISTED BUT WORTH CHECKING OUT:

What Men Want

Little

Nobody's Fool

Girl's Trip

The Other Woman

Queenie

Legally Blonde

Miss Congeniality

The Devil Wears Prada

Pitch Perfect

PERSONAL NOTES

Playing House is about two friends raising a child together, which is a premise I love. High Desert is a detective comedy (way more comedy than detective, though) with a likeable protagonist who is also addicted to drugs (that isn't the punchline, don't worry).

The Hustle and Queenpins were produced by the same company (and you can tell).

Twenties is one of the few shows that feature a stud lesbian as a central character (and she's beautiful!). Insecure is probably the most famous of black female comedy shows, though.

“True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.”

—Seneca

“Half of your mastery of power comes from what you do not do, what you do not allow yourself to get dragged into. Never waste valuable time, or mental peace of mind, on the affairs of others — that is too high a price to pay.”

— Robert Greene, 48 Laws of Power

Er yes. You seem to have good taste in GO fics. Got anymore faves I can read when I should be working or paying attention to my child? 😝

I'm really flattered you asked! And I also have 50 pages of fics bookmarked and no idea where to begin aaahhhh! So I'll just, errr, lob a bunch onto here: Obviously there's the trifecta of GO fic brilliance, Slow Show, Pray For Us Icarus, and Demonology and the Tri-Phasic Model of Trauma: An Integrative Approach. Everyone knows them, you don't need me to babble.

And if Stede was killed (as it was supposed to happen if he wasn't such a lucky muppet bastard ), Ed would think Stede just ran away... And we know how it would ended for Ed if Stede hadn't been there to save him.

Title of your sex tape - J.P

"It could be one of those nights

Where we don't turn off the lights"

Pairings : Jake peralta x female!detective!reader

Genres :

Warnings : smut. Slight fluff

"Ohh" you moaned. You were in the evidence room with jake after you got locked in here and let's just say things escalated. Jake banged into you faster, one hand holding your neck from behind while he kissed you and the other holding your ass. His thrusts were long and deep which just made you more turned on honestly. You may be wondering how you got in this situation. You see, jake was left in charged by the captain for the day while he and terry went to do some thing important. Apparently while leaving they found a bag of unknown substances in Charles bag so the whole precinct is under lock down as well as investigation. The thing was, you weren't stuck alone in the precinct. There were a huge amount of witnesses, preps, suspects, victims, lawyers, food delivery people and few people form the other floors. Realizing this wouldn't end soon, you guys guessed maybe an old perp wanted to set you guys up or something? So you and jake headed down to the evidence room to find something. While displaying different types of files in the table, jake came up behind you really close to see what you were doing. He asked you what you were doing casually. But.. talking in that position at one point lead to sexual tension which lead to talking a little dirty to eachother. It wasn't a big deal until jake grinding against you making you grip on the table and slightly push back. After it got a lot rougher, jake took off your clothes and you took off his, before filling you up. He scattered the files and laid you on top. He held you tight and made out a little before teasing you with his tip. You got really impatient and pulled him closer causing him to disappear inside you. He groaned and bit your neck while thrusting. First he went slow. Then he went a lot faster. You moaned scratching his back as you both pushed your hips to eachother. Jake took his time fucking you, spreading you out on the table. When all of a sudden the electricity went off causing you two to be stuck in the room. He took the opportunity to keeping fucking you dumb, making you cry his name with his cock. He spread your legs wider to get more room. "Jake *moans* fuck me, come on" you told him still moaning. Jake grabbed your ass tight and took a breath before banging back into you. One of his hand went behind you and pulled your hair back. He could see all his work on your neck and bare chest so clearly while fucking you. Jake was convinced your tits were made for him. It fit perfectly in his palm. He could just grab one and it'd fit it in his hand like it was meant to. He leaned forward, making out with your tits which was fully in his mouth. His cock twitched inside you making you let out a cry of insane pleasure. "O-oh! Jake oh!" You moaned out with tears in your eyes. Jake only groaned continuing to fuck you like it was his last. He pulled your legs up still spread apart with your hole getting stuffed with his raging hard cock. You encouraged him to fuck you harder and faster and of course he did so. You whimpered feeling close to your orgasm. You moaned warning Jake but he only smirked against your tits , keeping your legs spread as long as possible. You felt jake almost at his release. He continued fucking you like a little whore. Soon enough you cried cuming to his long , fat cock which was still inside you, spreading you apart. He moaned loudly, releasing his orgasm inside you, not a drop falling out. He sighed resting his head in your neck. You smiles getting down from the table and putting your clothes on. He did the same and slowly and lovingly pinned you to the wall. He grinned at you, kissing your jaw and holding your hips. He was about to come back to your lips when the electricity came back up and the room door burst open. You and jake immediately jumped back from eachother when terry walked in asking if you were ok. You both agreed and one by one they left. Except Diaz and Boyle. They both stood there with a stupid smile on their faces. You rolled your eyes knowing what coming.

"You guys boned huh?" Diaz asked smirking. "What.. " you and jake said at the same time. You both sighed. "Fine we boned!" Jake admitted. Rosa smirked. "I can see the sex glow in your face, jake!" Charles said frantically. You sighed and weirdly looked at Charles along with jake. You both sighed. After some time, they both made fun of you before leaving. You both smiled at eachother. You both stood there awkwardly smiling. You both walked out together. You suddenly stopped and paused when you heard jake say "Wait!". You turned to look at him and raised an eyebrow feeling amused at his nervousness. "Tonight. Me, you, drinks, sex, Shaw" Jake said grinning. You smiled at him thinking about how your date will go.

Authors note - Sorry if there were any spelling mistakes loves. I heard yall say there weren't many jake peralta smuts so I tried to make one. I'm not good at this but I will make more so enjoy <33 requests would help.
