Yenn, Triss, And Complicated Sexism of Witcher 3 - The Fandomentals

Witcher 3 is a very popular game, but for all that, I suspect most people who have played it have never read the books it is based on. So with that in mind, let me tell you a story first, or two stories, of two women. Just a fair warning though, they contain major spoilers …

an awesome read.

“Basically, they both made mistakes, they both were people who needed a good bit of reassurances in this department, and they both lacked the ability to have an emotionally honest conversation because of a shared flaw...

...Keep in mind: Marcy has a dad who she didn’t think cared about her at all at that time, and another parental figure who doesn’t even recognize her; feeling unloved is maybe a bit of an issue for her.”

Some marcelline-bubblegum fanart has landed on my twitter feed recently, and reignited an interest that was buried for a while. I like reading analyzes about the relationship between the two, rather than some femslash with said pairing. And during one of the readings, it hit me, the realization; that I actually relate to a cartoon character deep down on an emotional level. As much as I am inclined to criticize myself for identifying with a children’s cartoon character, I cannot help but keep on reading and comparing myself more and more. Maybe it’s because of the fact that  dissecting--and finally, understanding--my own emotions become easier when it’s through a window, a template, a fictional character with her own past and own traumas. 

okay so my attention span is only around 10 min.s so I’ll try to come back and edit and add to this post at a later time.
