One of my absolutely favorite tropes is when the protagonists or main group of characters adopt a villain as their weird, helpful companion or evil expert or to be the resident cat-friend. It’s just so funny, tbh. Like, “yah, that’s Kevin the Destroyer. He committed mass murder and used to manage the eighth level of Hell, but he’s cool now. he lives in my spare room and eats charred tatter-tots exclusively. We use him to help us defeat even eviller bad guys.”

Hot take:
So, this is kinda rant-y, but hear me out.
I despise that trope where, like, a female protagonist will be feeling all strong and woman-power and I’m-the-fucking-greatest, so they just... shear off all their hair?
Now, don’t confuse me, I’m okay with a short haired protagonist or even a protag cutting their hair within the duration of a novel, but??? Like??? I don’t really enjoy the whole short hair = strong woman association?
Can someone explain why on earth I keep seeing this?
I don’t despise short hair, I despise that bullshit faux woman power.
If you want to cut your hair, fine, but that doesn’t necessarily equate to being more badass.
IDK... I guess I’m just sick of traditionally female traits or features (long hair in this case) being turned into a symbol of weakness, and more masculine features (short hair) making a woman feel more empowered.
And obviously there are exceptions to every rule, but generally, it’s just used to display growth or positive development of some kind. And, at this point, I just see the hair thing as lazy.
Again, if a woman wants to change things up in her life after something major happens to her, fine - but it’s always the hair.
Why not get a tattoo or piercing? Or wear a new style? Or dye your hair? Or literally any of the thousand other things that can be a change.
The whole tropes just been run into the ground at this point.
Like I said, this is a bit of a rant and probably doesn’t make much sense, but IDK. Just wanted to get it off my chest.

Like look, love, trust, and commitment are all great things to have in a relationship, but is it too much to ask for all that AND someone who I can debate with at 3 am on a monday morning about whether or not aliens are real?

i literally watched 20 whole minutes of that new LEGO movie ad before I came to the realization that the same 15 seconds of footage would continue replaying for the ad’s 5 hour entirety.
