it's lowkey crazy to me that tma which is relatively not that old has such a misogynistic fandom; the way people talk about basira, daisy, melanie and like any female character who is around is awful. and it's not because of their character flaws or whatever; i have seen people babygirlyfying the guys for the same reason they wanted the others gone. this is a story where the fan favorite characters are the literal anticrist, his homicidal lover, a distorted not-being who is binary in gender and eats people, and the fucking fear-god onceler??? i don't understand how you can't comprehend the concept of multiple nuanced characters just because they happen to be WOMEN. like yes, basira is a hypocrite AND paranoid AND makes excuses but like. jon was (almost) the same for a very long time??? like yes, they are mean to jon and blame him but he literally STALKED the others in s2? drove tim near insanity with the constant accusations? and also when melanie is angry she is Evil and Mean to jon (which she is, without a valid reason) but when tim is angry and destructive it's fine because he got traumatized by the fucking worms??? pls make it make sense.

y'all really weren't kidding with "the biggest indicator of ralsei being transfem is how hard ppl are angrily trying to disprove it" oh my god the shit i've seen this past week 😭

[nitw]

utdr fans will convince themselves that actual straight-up woody from toy story is gonna have major significance to the plot and is connected to some demonic cat creature whose role/identity is still shrouded in mystery because of an unrelated shitpost toby posted to tumblr like a decade ago that was rediscovered and went viral around ch2, but if you so much as imply that ralsei wants to be a girl they'll act like you shot their dog

[nitw]

im starting to think a lot of ppl might not have realized that the whole mike thing is poking fun at them specifically

[demilypyro]

told my mom today about how lucky I am to have her. about how many trans girls I know who don't have any parents in their lives anymore. about how unusual she is for loving me as much as she does. she said it was a privilege to get to know the real me. i said it's a privilege to have a mother who'd say something like that.

this is actually so stupid im sorry

[magical-girl-tetia]

I cannot believe Flowery rage baited Ralsei so hard he made him say

“I could burn you alive in an instant”

Ralsei said that, RALSEI.

Little Mr.”Oh yeah King I’ll heal you” really got to a point where he said “You’d be dead where you stand”

And then bro just responds Lamo you won’t, I can spare you, you wish you were me, and you wish you were a girl, anyways imma go fuck Kris’s dad

Truly the most character of all time

if i was in a more critical mood i could do a whole write-up on how tma excels at creating female characters with depth and rich inner worlds but is not very great at using them in the plot, like out of melanie and georgie and basira and daisy not one of them has been really a major driver of the plot the way martin (or even s3 tim) has been

daisy is the one with something closest to a big character arc bc she changed so much since we first saw her, but even her initial leaving of the hunt happened largely off-screen in the coffin while she was trapped inside and after her character underwent that development she just kind of... exited stage left? and if it's never touched again in s5 i am going to remain bitter forever about how basira's role in the plot in s4 was reduced to very little but a wild goose-chase in canon and a red herring for the audience to wonder what the whole "detective" deal was only for it to not mean much of anything (there's still hope for this to be expanded upon in s5 though so im keeping my fingers crossed). and i think melanie is the most underused character in the whole show when you consider how complex and emotional her motivations have been but she was not allowed to play much of an active part in... anything plot-central, like, at all? she... stole the tape from elias' desk? we never even got to hear a recording of her defending the archives during the flesh attack

i may have missed a lot of stuff bc my memories of s2-3 are now spotty and i never had a great memory of these things to begin with, but honestly i think the smaller impact the female characters have had in the fandom compared to the male ones like elias or peter isn't a straightforward fandom misogyny problem so much as the canon material just not letting these characters shine as much as it could have, which is a damn shame considering how much potential these characters have on their own

Shadow weaver did nothing but Aura farm her entire life

[calliandraaa]

Micah, come quickly, there’s no time! We must aura farm before it is too late!

[calliandraaa]

Rewatching She-ra again has really given me a new appreciation of Shadow Weaver. Like I feel like a lot of fans just write her off as a narcissist who never changes, but in season 4 she comes off to me as actually trying to help. Like you expect the big reveal at the end that she’s planning on like stealing the moonstone or having some big bad plan but it just…doesn’t happen? Like she is genuinely just trying to train Glimmer and help her get better at magic, training her like she did with her father.

Of course she also isolates Glimmer from the others, but it comes off to me as more of a habit than anything else? Like she just doesn’t know how to interact with people in a way that isn’t manipulative, but it’s not like she is actively trying to hurt them. I feel like she is so much more complex both morally and as a character than people tend to give her credit for

[demilypyro]

gameoverse seems fun enough. but the cynical feminist in me can't help herself. all the male characters are like, cartoon blobs, which is contrasted strongly by the two major female characters in this pilot, both of whom are hour-glass shaped humanoid women who spend most of their screentime in swimsuits. and like that's not an outright dealbreaker but i *am* staring into the camera with my eyebrows raised.

[demilypyro]

idk i'm getting really tired of this "connecticut clark and malfina" type shit where male characters get to be Silly Abstract Little Guys but women have to be women shaped. it's this male-as-default thing that i hate where you don't need to add anything to a character design to imply male-ness but the woman better have wide hips and booba or else yknow like idk it's not outright Offensive but it is tiring
