#I love my lesbian android gf

[allurascastle]

Here's some other comms from @plaguebunny !

This group comm was for our space TTRPG campaign years ago! Flat color so we could get a good look at everyone as a reference! From left to right

Neeko (PC), battle android -> Madeline (NPC), a psionic specialist and technician -> Vlad (PC), a super soldier -> Alejandra (NPC), a psionic specialist and demolition expert (and chemist) -> Diane (NPC), a super soldier with a big sister complex -> Amir (NPC), a first gen super soldier and sniper -> Maria (NPC), a super soldier and squadron leader -> Bridgit (NPC), a mute psionic specialist and lesbian -> Morialas (NPC), a psionic specialist and lesbian (yes, they're gfs) -> Mordecai (NPC), tired psionic specialist who zyooms -> Sev (NPC), vanguard with chronic migraines that make him seem broody (he and Madeline are dating) -> Elestra (PC), a psionic specialist who loves shouji and magical girl anime.

"That's a lot of NPCs," I hear you say.

"Yup. But they were fun to RP as. They had pretty distinct personalities and had known each other for years, so they had established relationships for my PCs to interact with."

"What TTRPG was it?"

"I'm gonna level with you, it was 3e D&D with 3.5 psionics sprinkled in, and homebrewed weaponry."

"What was the plot?"

"Sorry, going to keep that close because the campaign was based in a setting I was fleshing out for a book series that I may or may not write."

And this comm was just this month! A piece for my husband, who played Vlad, with his favorite girl, Allie! They're having a movie date night ❤️

10 female characters tag

@timothydraike tagged me to post 10 favourite female characters from 10 different fandoms and then tag 10 people, but honestly this list isn't gonna be too different from my 10 fave characters list cause most of them are women anyway 😂 😂 but here you go:

Nausicäa // Nausicäa of the Valley of the Wind, Studio Ghibli

I didn't explain it last time, but I feel like she is the prototype for all the Ghibli girl heroines, free and autonomous, except she's a young woman who knows exactly what she believes in and wants to do. She's a warrior princess who believes in peace and kindness rather than war; she listens to mother nature and tends to her garden as deftly as she handles her glider jet; she's a born leader who puts her subjects' wellbeing before her own immediate safety. This gif here shows the moment she took of her own gas mask to boost morale while they're crashing into a toxic wasteland. I don't think I've seen many representations of female leadership as compelling and utterly human as hers was before or after this film debuted in popular media.

Harley Quinn // DCU

She's a bundle of contradictions but it's in that I find a female antivillain/antihero that feels real. Her stocky build and bit of chub in the tummy area? Real. Her slobbish habits and love for nasty junk food? Real. Her all encompassing empathy for animal welfare? Real. Disregarding the artists that draw her with too big boobs, she's so ordinary in her appearance and habits that it actually feels like she's the kind of girl that media often overlooks. She's like the manic pixie dream girl but rounded out with relatable human traits.

Tsunemori Akane // Psycho-Pass

I related to her when I was 20 (exactly her age at the start of the series) because I was at a crossroads in life, just as she was. I was searching for my calling, just as she was trying to understand her purpose and place in society. And at that point in my life, I could appreciate the duality between abiding by the system (legal reformation) and questioning the system (dipping into revolutionary ideas). I can't see myself relating to a cop anymore now obviously, but she's a rather unique figure that I still think about.

Ava // Ex Machina (2014), filmblr

She brings out all my post-humanist sympathies. And I think she captures a sort of queer android and Other perspective, one that the male characters feel threatened by, that women can understand well.

Maeve Millay // Westworld

She's my murder mom. Something something about "I've died a thousand times, I'm not afraid of death" (I'm paraphrasing majorly), she's so badass. The fact that she was one of the first androids to awaken and actually challenge the humans, there's so much power in her taking her trauma in stride and moving forward nonetheless. And I think you can see a recurring theme here lolol

Lois Lane (Gotham City Garage) // DCU Elseworlds

Perhaps this is just preserving a core attribute of her main continuity counterpart, but I absolutely adore the spirit she embodies of journalists who stay defiantly committed to truth and justice in the face of insurmountable odds. Fighting against a fascist terror regime - which hits very close to home - and keeping the broadcast going even out in the wasteland. In this last aspect she carries similarities to Dr. Death Defying's character from Gerard Way's Killjoys series, except she's a woman and she was actually fleshed out as a character with a heart and soul and a lot of gravitas. How can you not love her?

(and I forgot this was supposed to be 10 characters from 10 different fandoms until I finished this list but let's say her being an Elseworlds character counts as a different fandom 🤡🤡)

Ripley // Alien (even tho Sigourney Weaver's personal politics is a bit yikes)

The proto-final girl and original warrior mother in sci-fi wrapped into one. (Ok, the crown for modern scifi warrior mother might have to go to Sarah Connor actually, but that's also another Cameron invention so they can share that title.) Even tho I can't relate to most of her character arc, I'm still very impressed by her character. They even touch on her PTSD a little which is unheard of in the contemporary movies at the time.

Honorary mention: Sarah Connor // Terminator

Marceline the Vampire Queen // Adventure Time

Not the original goth gf, but she is a goth gf. Gay and aesthetics aside, I really liked that the show let her be a bit weird and gross (which she should be considering she's kind of undead) and her tragic backstory gets me every time. The best thing is she's still a big softie, who takes good care of Ice King / Simon when he's around; you don't see that kind of (grand)daughter character in media much.

Beverly Marsh // It (2017)

I haven't read the book but tbh I liked the agency the first movie awarded her enough that I'm afraid of jeopardising it; I don't like how the book portrays / handles her sexuality. She is a survivor of csa, but she's a fighter regardless. I like that about her.

Darlene Alderson // Mr. Robot

I honestly debated putting her on this list again since I haven't seen a single Mr. Robot episode in so long, but I do remember her character being given her own arc in S2 (and onwards I suppose) and she's a little fucked up in her own way. People look at Rami's character and get sucked in sorting through his alters but Darlene is no less complex - damaged, dangerous, and compelling.

Other honorary mentions:

Riko Sheridan // DCU (an Asian girl who isn't infantilised or reduced to the model minority? shocker!)

Missy // Colette (2018), filmblr (she's actually a real historical figure so I'm not sure if she counts. But she's so radical and ahead of her time - in fact the film seems to suggest she prefers he/him pronouns. I have never seen such intriguing butch representation and I just fell in love with her character. Worth a watch.)

Jo March // Little Women (2019), filmblr (since we're talking about historical women... well, she's a period film character but not a real one, but she's highly evocative of certain female experiences in much the same way)

Blue // The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys (so I didn't wanna crowd this list with too many android ladies but she's the first queer android girl character I came across and I loved her instantly. Too bad they buried her gay but her entire concept is my aesthetic)

Rem // Death Note (I feel like I'm obligated to mention DN, too bad it has shitty writing wrt female characters, that's why I have no choice but to stan the lesbian monster gf friend who is so in love with her gal pal she would die for her. Ugh, poetic cinema)

Ok now I am gonna tag @lawliyeeeet @sweetgloss @dressed-to-keehl @3dnygma @hikenacedabi and anyone else who wants to I guess

me @ noah: hey rule 63 tng except they’re ALL wlw

here’s my suggestions, I take constructive criticisms: 

tasha - THE SAME. CHANGE NOTHING. what a valid butch lesbian troi - femme bi/poly trans woman I Love Her geordi - just geordi but a woman. still lacks basic flirting abilities. she’s the - well she kissed me and asked me on a date but I’m not sure she like-likes me - type wlw. short hair for sure. I'd say pan ace worf - nb butch lesbian. but butch for a klingon so basically she bottoms. she’s tallest of the tng crew, but short for a klingon, definitely shorter than all her gfs data - LITERALLY the same but a woman. nb android body (probably rounder more androgynous face but whatever) uses she/her pronouns to the confusion of cis males who just assume she would use he/him. my personal headcanon is demi-pan but could also be lesbian lore - has boobs and thinks that makes her superior. aro and a flirt riker - chad lesbian. tall and stocky, but still femmish. but short hair. oh my god she's so valid. probably regularly causes political uproar by seducing and sleeping with a princess who was betrothed to a prince. that princess? she's a lesbian now. picard - grumpy old french lesbian. what could be more valid? shaved head? I'm a fan of changing as little as possible tbf. literally unphased by men flirting but will trip and fluster if a woman flirts with her Q - starts off exactly the same as canon, but sees everyone is a woman so decides to be a woman too. probably uses they/them bev - thinks/claims she's straight but cmon. picard's RIGHT THERE wes - literally the same but a he/him lesbian guinan - already a lesbian

RANDOM RANT

SO HEY! Since it’s Hugtto weekend (And therefore, a lot of the other ‘H’ titles finishing... Hanebado, Harukana Receive and even Hataraku Saibou), I’ve been thinking of what to rant about.

So while doing the latest Emiruru pic, I thought to myself ‘There has been other pairings of little girl + robot gf, right???’ It isn’t really a new trope. (But i refuse to use TV Tropes, cuz that would have been WAY TOO easy.)

And then I remembered Alyssa and Miyu in Mai-Hime, another great anime (with a shitty manga, don’t you argue with me, it threw all the female empowerment and feminism in the anime and made it into a fucking harem manga. TATE IS A FREAKIN’ ~KEY~ TO ~OPEN~ THE GIRLS. Burn. Burn it.) 

ANYWAY!

As an overview, Alyssa and Miyu can be viewed as antagonists in the series (it’s been so long, sue me). All you need to know is that Alyssa is a test-tube baby and really is used as an ace for the Mai-Hime Festival, and the one who really looked after her and acknowledged her as a human being is Miyu, an android girl / guardian 

What really hit it for me these two is how close they are. In the anime, Natsuki and Shizuru, the canon lesbian pairing, can be seen multiple times together, albeit Shizuru is a bit creepy in her approach. (Natsuki doesn’t seem to mind). Whereas, Alyssa and Miyu seems to go off into a world of their own when they are alone, with Alyssa singing in some grassy meadow with Miyu listening. 

Kinda reminds you of a certain pair.

Either way, things gets rather interesting later, and Miyu retreats from a battle with an injured Alyssa. Keep in mind though, that I wasn’t even invested in the ‘mismatched pair’ ship at the time NOR of its existence. But the scene with Alyssa dying in Miyu’s arms? With those small hands caressing and trying to comfort a machine? 

IT HURTS MAN! IT REALLY HURTS! Not to mention the accompanying music to go with it, Miyu’s anguished scream and the sad, sad falling snow.  Of course, the ending and spin-offs showed a much happier ending, but I don’t want their end cheapened like THAT. 

I liked the fact that both android girls main connection to their partners is music. Although different genres, Alyssa being choir music while Emiru loves her rock and pop, there is no denying how much Miyu and Ruru enjoyed listening to them.

So yeah, I have no point going with this random rant other than knowing the existence of mismatched pair. (Which i also just recently learned in pixiv, since peopled tagged my Emiruru pics.)  I thought it was only in regards of age or even human and non-human partners, or even in size and height. 

Anyway, that’s enough procrastination!  TOEI I SWEAR TO GOD YOU DO SOMETHING `TERRIBLE` TO EMIRU AND RURU I AM FILING A COMPLAINT OR SO HELP ME! DON’T BE COWARDS AND SHOW US EMIRU AND RURU’S HAPPY END!!! (please?)

[anicegaykid]

who dis?

#firstpost seems more daunting than it needs to be. Got myself all creative blocked up so here is a little diddy to get to know me better.. 

Are you named after anyone?

I am actually named after Jessica Wakefield from Sweet Valley High

When was the last time you cried?

tbh, I tend to flip from emotionless to SUPER emotional like 0-60. Sometimes no response, sometimes (like this afternoon) I see a beautiful pond surrounded in nature, being natural and beautiful, water sparkling in the sunshine and the tears just roll.

Do you have kids? If no, how many do you want?

No kids atm, but a couple kiddos would be nice in the near future

If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself?

..like.. what.. ? am I just like a duplicate of me? Like am I the same person I am now and would I be friends with someone JUST like me? Or am I someone else? Who am I? Like, I enjoy spending time on my own? 

Bottom line, I like me. 

Do you use sarcasm a lot?

100%

What’s the first thing you notice about people?

eyes, smile, lips, face bone structure

What is your eye color?

blue, sometimes they get a little grey

Scary movie or happy endings?

BOTH. 

Favorite smells?

Citrus, patchouli, cut grass, peaches and strawberries

Do you have any special talents?

Talents include: fantastic with horses, very good dog mom, I can cook frozen pizzas to perfection -- if I don’t get distracted, designing queer tees, i can roll a pretty decent j, solid problem solver, got some wit and can be funny. 

Where were you born?

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada

What’s your zodiac sign? Do you believe in it?

What is the least favourite thing about yourself?

I wish I was a lot better at expressing how I feel. 

Things that still bother me - my wife and I had a discussion about proposals and who would ask who. We landed on me asking her, which I did and am SO happy about, but the reason behind it being that I am so poor at expressing emotions that she was afraid it would affect her confidence in my response. 

For a first TMI moment of the blog, I have so much anxiety in my ability to express myself that I can’t even manage to make any “noise” during sex. Doesn’t even matter that I am my most comfortable self with her, STILL struggle. A work in progress for me I guess. 

Funniest moment throughout School?

There was a time when we were at a beach party when I was 17, the RCMP showed up to break it up and snag any and all intoxicated minors they could. The tide had recently come in, but where we were was a little dip in the side of the cliff so the path back to the road was water-covered. So someone peeks around the cliff to see the two Mounties wading through the water. This party crew are country-folk and are 100% ready for this situation with a wooden ladder that leads up the side of the cliff into a field close to where all the vehicles are parked. As party-goers are running through the field to cars, someone shouts, “PIT PARTY” and everyone heads towards the local Pit. Along the way someone with a truck steals a round bale from a field and uses it to create the BIGGEST bonfire I’ve ever seen. 

How many countries have you visited?

like ~10

Olivia

My animals

family

How is your relationship with parents?

My Mom is one of my best friends in this world! My Dad is an odd case, he struggles with my sexuality, I understand that it is because of where and when he grew up, he is never outwardly rude or mean to me, he’s a quiet country guy, he was at our wedding, he gave me away with my Mom, he’s kind to Olivia, he’s kind to me, he doesn’t understand but recognizes that it is real. I love my Dad, I really do. I’m proud of my Mom for educating him and ensuring that he is present and polite. I get frustrated from time to time and I have cried a lot of tears about it. Our relationship can be strange but at the same time hasn’t changed. He’s been a great Dad and he’ll be a fantastic Grampy. I have to check myself because there are people who are much worse off than me. I get jealous of Olivia sometimes because her Dad is so sweet to her and treats me like a daughter so easily, but my Dad has never been the soft spoken lovey type. We’ve hugged twice in my life. One of them was when I was leaving for England with a one way ticket and no foreseeable return plans and one was when he was jokingly blocking my path and I used it as a disarming mechanism to scoot through. 

What’s on your mind?

All I can think about today is the fact that I became an aunt at 5AM this morning and I’m going to see his later this afternoon. I SO excited!

What’s your talent?

troubleshooting queen.

naturally creative to my own surprise.

One word that describes you?

2 Beta Fishies:

What is the farthest you’ve been from home?

I lived in England for 2 years & travelled Europe for a month

Are you an extrovert or introvert?

I think TECHNICALLY an introvert?  I can be v extroverted but I really need time to recharge. Recharging for me is being home with my comforts. My wifey, doggos, snacks and Netflix.

Are you left or right handed?

Right hander

Do you consider yourself a good cook?

Like.. sort of? I don’t cook much but when I do I always surprise myself with how well I do lol

Does your name have a special meaning?

It means my Mother was 18 when she had me and REALLY liked Sweet Valley High

If money were no object what would you get for your next birthday?

2 weeks away from home/work, road trip to Halifax for the fertility clinic, get started on a baby and then fly off to one of those tropical cabins on the water. 

If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?

I would love to have a few homes! A winter getaway BC. A condo in Halifax, NS and a cute little hobby farm here in PEI in some rolling hills somewhere in between Kensington and Charlottetown.

What’s your longest relationship so far?

My current one. We’re about to hit 4 years together, married for a little over a month. 

[aretherelesbians]

Are There Lesbians? Yes

What Happens: Androids are built by YoRHa to fight the machines and take back earth for humans. In this JRPG you play as androids 2B, 9S and A2 as they battle for earths future.

The Verdict: I think it’s safe to say that NieR: Automata is now one of my favourite games. It was certainly the best I played (read, started) in 2017, and I played Life is Strange: Before the Storm and I love that series, so you know it’s serious.

The gameplay in NieR: Automata is really interesting. For the most part it plays like a reasonably standard hack n slash RPG but the gameplay changes depending on who you play as. I also enjoyed being able to combine ranged pod attacks with melee attacks. For this reason I liked playing as 2B and A2 the most. Many of the hacking minigames involved when you play as 9S are required to beat enemies and I was incredibly bad at them. In fact, I would often change my difficulty level to easy (thank goodness you can do that in battle) because I just got so frustrated with constantly dying. That being said, the hacking minigames where there were only static blocks to break were very satisfying. Basically any time I'm being shot at and not on the ground was a stressful time for me. I really like being able to hack and slash and shoot and then cartwheel away.

I did find some of the set controls a bit difficult - a lot of the buttons are close together and I often accidentally changed weapons when I just wanted to heal myself! In long battles, holding the trigger down to shoot while also jamming on the light and heavy attacks did make my wrist hurt. I'm planning to play it again and might try reconfiguring the controls, there are a few forums which recommend it, in fact.

I know this because I loved NieR: Automata so much that when I finished I immediately went and looked through the wiki. It turns out its actually part of a series and now I want to track down the previous game, however I am annoyed because apparently there were two versions and the "real" version was only released in Japan?! It's so rude. I didn't know this until I finished the game, however, so I very much enjoyed trying to find out as much backstory as I could through talking to people and discovering certain records scattered throughout the map. Speaking of the map, I really like a nice detailed map and I was disappointed to find that the map actually expands further than where you can explore - why is it there if I can't go visit? I'm a total completionist so this was very frustrating for me. In the same vein, before/after certain story events you can no longer do some of the quests unless you go back. After you finish the game you can unlock "debug" mode and chapter select which allows you to go back to each chapter, but for reasons which shall remain  untold, I no longer have any of my save files and don’t have this feature any more. I don't have any real regret to be honest as I am already looking forward to playing through the entire game again! I'm in such a slump having finished it – NieR: Automata is all I want to play, but also I want to have a bit of time away from it to think about it, and also play other things because... I finished the game? And I have so many games to play?

With the gameplay discussion over let’s get to the real stuff - representation. There were a good amount of lesbians in NieR: Automata, although the representation of women in general was a bit… eh (2B pantyshots I’m looking at you… wait, that came out wrong…). This isn’t to say that the women in the game were particularly helpless or that they suffered from the sexy angry stereotype. The majority of characters in the game are women, and I greatly appreciate that. It’s just that a lot of the outfits felt like they came straight from male fetishes. Why does the split in 2B skirt have to go so high and why does she flash us every time she jumps? I’ve played Bayonetta and I can respect a lady who likes to dress sexy, but the appearance of many of the androids like 2B and A2 doesn’t make them look particularly… old, and that bothers me a little. Especially when you just know there’s got to be a lot of porn of them out there.

While NieR: Automata leans towards objectification of its leading ladies, the lesbians were strangely untouched by this trope. They were so good!!! My favourite is the conversation between 2B and her operator 6O where 6O is sad because a girl she liked rejected her, it was so cute! There is also a very moving quest that you can do where you have to go and find out what happened to an androids girlfriend! I strongly suspect that there is more to the A2 and Andromeda relationship that isn’t explicitly stated, but there is enough explicit wlw romance that I don’t mind just keeping that as a headcanon (though I also really want more of that back-story, GIVE ME THE BACKSTORY). As I mentioned, the representation of women has a lot to be desired but I really liked the handling of the wlw relationships, they were romantic without being gratuitous, and didn’t feel like they were being shoe-horned in to increase sales or anything (wow, the bar is so low). Like the rest of the game, the characterisation and storylines of the wlw characters was near perfect.

Despite the GF dubbing it “The Loud Panty Game,” NieR: Automata has earned a very large place in my heart, to the point where my obsession with it may soon rival that of Kingdom Hearts. It is a beautifully made game and ticks all my boxes – gameplay, aesthetics and storyline. If you only play one game from 2017 (sorry LiS: Beyond the Storm), make sure that it is NieR: Automata.

There’s a lot I want to say about Automata, but one of my favorite things about it is how many lesbians there are (or at least women with girlfriends, or had one at some point). Not only that, just how naturally integrated they are. Their relationships just exist as part of them, they just go “oh yeah that’s for my girlfriend” or “my girlfriend’s name was (x)” and how competent and cool in their own ways they all are. And about 95% of the women you find easily drop the big GF word at some point; I can only remember a couple women specifically talking about a guy and/or with one.

Most of them are competent combatants and/or witty and/or have a skillset utilized by everyone else well or interestingly. 

And the fact that Yoko Taro has said in interviews that yes, that is what it is, and “Why include gay people?” his response was essentially “Because they’re people? I dunno if you noticed that.” 

Can we get more of this please? Like, pretty pretty please? It genuinely meant a lot to me and severely increased my joy in an already incredible title. I don’t need a possible romance with a companion character I may or may not like but that’s the only chance I get. I just need my lesbian android SWAT team existing in that state and loving it.

[stvlti]

10 favourite female* characters

Since we're doing tag memes again on this blog I figured why not update my favourite characters list while I'm at it? Last time I did a similar list it was for anime characters only, so I thought why not make it women-themed this time?

(I know IWD/IWW has already passed but I haven't posted anything for it on here this year so please let me have this)

This isn't a real tag meme so absolutely no pressure, but I'd like it if y'all shared your favourite fem characters too! I nominate:

@boatiechat @sapphicdeathnote @lawliyeeeet @sweetgloss @hayatibobby @3dnygma @setfa

(*) female = any characters confirmed canonically to be fem-aligned. Let's goooo

Akane Tsunemori [Psycho Pass]

I still love her, she's alike me in so many ways back when I watched this series. I think the coming of age aspect (in a political and philosophical sense) really resonated with me.

Maeve Millay [Westworld]

She's so badass *__* I still have yet to watch Season 2 but I hope I get around to it sometime before Mr. Robot S4 comes out! Speaking of which...

Darlene Alderson [Mr. Robot]

I just love how she fucks with the MPDG archetype, and the tongue in cheek Lolita references too. And anyway you already know I love a complex, amoral female character

Ava [Ex Machina]

I guess... I kinda like the idea of her moreso than her character (since her character's got a pretty simple arc). But hell yeah give me all the android ladies who break free of man's exploitation (you seeing a theme here yet? hehe)

Nausicäa [Nausicäa of the Valley of the Wind]

Another character who is so important to me as a coming of age character. She's probably my favourite Ghibli girl protagonist...

Harley Quinn [New Earth]

Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of the Gang of Harley's (New 52 onwards), but it's her personality in the original comic run that I found really compelling. She's the girl next door with a set of complexities that the current iteration just doesn't seem to replicate (and by complexities I'm not referring to her relationship with the Joker, but her other flaws, her vulnerable moments, her well-intentioned but chaotic approach to living life...)

Marceline the Vampire Queen [Adventure Time]

The original goth gf......... I had a big ol' crush on her but also wanted to be badass like her. Sum of my experience with this archetype, really 🙈 and then the series kept building on her back story, and I remember this particular shot so clearly of her cleaning her bellybutton - ig moral of the story I'm here for girls who are allowed to be gross in canon (see again: Harley Quinn)

Rem [Death Note]

Well, since we're talking about monster girls... Rem has big tragic butch lesbian energy and I don't care what Ohba has to say

Now here I couldn't actually choose 2 fave fem characters for the last spots on the list so I'm going to have to list a bunch of honourable mentions:

Missy [Colette (2018)]

This feels like a bit of a cheat because technically she isn't even a fictional character - she's based on a real person in the life of the woman that this biopic is about, that's like saying the men from Hamilton are fictional characters... Nevertheless the acting and the writing for Missy's portrayal in this film really captivated me, just the sheer ballsiness of her existence (as the way she chose to present herself) in Edwardian era Parisian society, and the dialogue they gave her in this film... (Btw I don't even know what Missy's preferred pronouns were irl, the film seemed to suggest that Missy liked he/him pronouns so someone come correct me if you know)

Blue [The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys]

my first favourite android lady... Looking back her character is quite one-dimensional but she meant a lot to me at the time

Ripley [the Alien franchise]

Well, I fell in love with her character in the second movie. She's good in the original film too. I didn't watch the third and the fourth tho. But she's kinda a seminal character (practically a prototypal final girl before the trope even existed) and deserves an honourable mention on this list for sure

Raven [Teen Titans 2003]

She gets an honourable mention here. I distinctly remember her being one of the first characters that truly resonated with me as a wee middle schooler but after revisiting the series a few years ago I don't think I'm all that into her anymore

If you made it this far thanks for sticking around! Sorry for the info-dump. I'm always up for discussing any of these shows/films/characters tho!

EDIT: oh shit i can’t believe i left out this character!!

Violet Baudelaire [A Series of Unfortunate Events - the books]

i haven’t gotten far with the Netflix series, but i distinctly remember her character being so important to my self-esteem as a 12-13 y/o. She was so intelligent and capable, yet fully human and real in a way that not many teenaged girls were allowed to be in fictional representations at the time. until the 11th book she didn’t even entertain any romantic inclinations (and even then it was so realistically innocent in a way that not many Y/A stories were either), which was so refreshing for me to read as a teenager-to-be because seemed like every other story immediately gave girls a male love interest. (which obviously didn’t appeal to me for obvious reasons). so yeah, if Raven got a spot on this honourable mentions list then Violet definitely deserves to be on here.
