#Her daughter *should* be more like her.

[pettyprocrastination]

we can debate characterization all day long but we all need to agree that Francisco Morales is a proud girl dad to a weirdly feral 6 year old cause little girls are fucking odd creatures

leafpool should’ve been the fourth cat. it starts with her getitng told by starclan that squirrel and bramble were meant to be together. something they only did because they knew about her eventual kits with crowfeather.

it’s established that starclan uses her for their bidding. she’s even named after the place where starclan communes with them. so why wouldn’t they make her be the fourth? she is where it began so she must be the end.

she would essentially replace firestar’s whole role in po3 and oots. she is given the prophecy of the three instead of him. although she immediately understands why starclan told her the prophecy. so she could make them as strong as powerful. so instead she tries to play down their powers as much as possible, just wanting lion and jay to be normal kids.

but she’d know that holly wasn’t the third. she knows her daughter is not a dove. she is an owl. she is silent, and watching. waiting. for her moment. when it’s finally confirmed that holly is powerless her heart breaks for her and desperately wishes to comfort her but knows she cannot. 

she loathes starclan for what they’ve done to her. for what they stole from her. and now making her the fourth cat? why couldn’t they do that for holly? 

when she goes to starclan. be it through the moonpool or in her death she lets loose on them. there’s nothing she can do at that point but she doesn’t care. she’s infuriated at being a pawn in their game. she is alive. she has a family. how dare they treat her like a toy to be played with and thrown away when bored. 

she forsakes them and chooses to wander the world as a ghost, watching over the futrue generations. desperate to warm them about starclans ways and to not trust them under any circumstance. starclan cares for no one.

I was talking to my mom about ofmd because it's one of the shows we watch on our own and then discuss, and she was talking about how much she LOVED Spanish Jackie not only because Leslie Jones is hilarious (agreed) but also because she was an example of a middle aged woman being powerful and commanding respect, which is not something she felt like was represented in a lot of media. Like she just got to be cool, badass, and complex without it being a huge deal. And it really got me thinking about how I appreciate the way ofmd portrays its women characters (even though they're few and far between). I was also VERY impressed with how they handled Mary, I loved how she wasn't just pushed to the sidelines as an obstacle to Stede following his bliss or whatever. She raises legitimate points and her side of the story is JUST as interesting. She speaks her mind, has agency, and in the end she gets to be free!!

Jim's Nana is another great example I almost forgot!! She's another woman who has her own agenda, taking a role not traditionally associated with a whole lot of action and crafting it into something powerful. She's righteous but still has a sense of humor, she's flawed but you can understand why she pushed Jim in the direction that she did. Overall I just really like the way ofmd acknowledges the constraints on women given the time period while still letting them be dynamic and capable. now give us some lesbian pirates in season 2 please and thank you

ouat’s reluctance to validate regina’s anger is something i could go on and on about but i’m gonna try to only talk about one specific thing: they always always always use “vengeance” or “revenge”, words associated with “villains” and “evil”, to talk about regina’s war against snow and never “justice”, which has a more positive/neutral connotation, even from regina’s perspective. many of regina’s actions would still be wrong, but their complete lack of trust in the audience to read her as an unreliable narrator (especially when the book itself is an unreliable narrator) is… weird.

I will never understand why people are suddenly shipping Jennette with Jeremy from The Way to Protect the Female Lead’s Older Brother because... it doesn’t make sense?

I know it’s normal to have crossover ships.

But Jennette? With Jeremy? I dropped the manhwa he’s from and I know he’s a cool dude and a lot of people love him but I’m not sure if Jennette would love to be around someone like him.

I’m staying away from any content involving this pairing because I’m part of the Jennette is asexual agenda who has a loving girlfriend.

ignoring the argument that he grew up to be a reluctant war criminal, it’s honestly fascinating for me, a chinese woman, to see so many excuses on why wwx’s childhood is toooootally not a prime example of domestic abuse, 

ranging from the honestly kind of racist “it’s ancient chinese culture and therefore forgivable because cultural nuance” 

to the problematic “madam yu is a girlboss, who cares if she verbally and physically whips teenagers her marriage is sad” 

to the just plain weird “if your dad praises your sibling more than you it is PERFECTLY fine to completely disregard that sibling’s emotional well-being”

i find it so funny that whenever vader has any interaction with luke it’s always met with joy, affection, and love. but whenever vader interacts with leia it is always kill kill bite bite dont feed after midnight.

Vader used the force to telepathically call out to his son from the executor, 
“Luke” Father, Luke called back. “Son” Vader and felt a thrill as he realized Luke had accepted the truth.

...

For a moment, Vader allowed himself to imagine a future with his son. He imagined Luke as his apprentice - I would teach him everything - and as his partner - he would keep me strong! There would be no rivalry or secrets between them. With their bond of blood and shared power, they would be the greatest of Sith Lords.

...

Soon, Vader was breathing hard through his respirator. I can't let Luke defeat me, Vader thought. I won't let the Emperor have him!

...

Vader had no doubt that Luke was about to die. His son screamed. Not just my son . . . The Emperor unleashed another round of lightning. . . . or Padme's son . . . Luke screamed louder. . . . but my son . . . who loves me.

vs.

there was an electric hum from behind Vader, then a spherical black interrogator droid hovered slowly into the cell...Leia's eyes went wide at the sight of the droid. Vader could practically taste her terror. She said, "Keep it away from me!”

...

Growing impatient, Vader used his own psychic powers to make Leia believe she was in excruciating pain, but after several minutes, he ended the interrogation. He sensed that her inborn willpower was not only formidable but must have been augmented with certain physical and mental disciplines. She would not be broken easily.

...

Tarkin scowled at Vader. "Terminate her ... immediately!" Vader moved across the conference room to a communications console. With his helmet facing the comlink, he said, "Detention Area Security. Schedule the prisoner in cell 3187 for execution in one standard hour.“

...

Turning his attention to the Princess, Vader said, "I expect no such difficulty in restraining myself (in killing her) where you are concerned, Leia Organa. In several ways, you are responsible for my setbacks much more than this simple boy."
