thinking about this post but also it's more than that. do you ever think about how stories starring men are allowed to be about humanity but stories starring women have to be about Womanhood

#it's just the same discourse from like the 2010s about how girls will read about boys but boys won't read about girls #and we haven't gotten anywhere #even when it's like in a feminist way!!! there's room for stories about Womanhood obviously #but believe it or not ''women'' is not the only significant trait or experience that that half of the population has #and frankly I think it's counterproductive to focus every woman-centric narrative on the Woman aspect in some kind of feminism way #especially I feel like in adaptations that get a more hashtag feminism focus! like that story was about a person that was a woman #and you made it into a story about Women. which. ok #but was it not enough for her to just be a human being #experiencing human experiences that perhaps men could relate to #but a story with a male main character is allowed to exist on its own terms #no one's like. okay the main theme of this is obviously something to do with masculinity #(unless that's actually true)#a man is still the default character to explore your ideas and adding the ''girl'' trait is seen as like this extra distortion #that you would add only if you wanted to explore Womenness #like everyone's putting a guy in situations but hey maybe your guy could be a woman #even if the specific situation doesn't call for it #did you ever think of that?#and a lot of it I think is because men are conditioned not to relate to female characters #so making a male character would work to expand your audience because female readers are still willing to invest in him but not vice versa #but that doesn't mean we should just keep perpetuating the cycle #and only making stories about women specifically for women about Womanhood #that's just cementing the problem even further #obviously this is all a generalization and there are exceptions #this also applies to things like race #like in the US if you're making a story with a nonwhite main character suddenly it has to be like About Race or something

I feel like every month someone has to show up and say "hey so fanart is made for free, so bitching in the tags about how people are characterizing your blorbo wrong is incredibly discouraging and pretty rude"

And yet people keep going "why are people ruining perfectly good fanart with-"

It's not for you anymore

Lost your rights for complaining loudly at the potluck about how you don't like lemon pie. You get no pie now

#i like lemon pie #did you ever think of that?#at least fucking dont tag your shit ass opinions and keep them to your own blog #the post is sponsored by beard hate #jokes on you i think beards are sexy #fandom wank

(the flavors are 99% vibes + first thought only thought, don't take them too seriously)

#art #twisted wonderland #the only flavor that took longer than thirty seconds was idia #purely because first thought there was mt dew midnight baja blast #should've just run with it tbh. dang.#(some of the transliterations were hard to double-check so please forgive any errors 🙇)#(unfortunately i had already committed when i found out the spanish tuna is トゥナ and not ツナ) (my joke...ruined...)#man. you ever spend a super long time doing 20+ character pops and then be like #wait why did i do this #story of my life right there ( ᐛ )#sorry for not being around much it's been a Time #just a lot of ups and downs and not really being in the right headspace for Jokes #eternity float better be hilarious is all i'm saying (it already is based on the cards so i think we're good)

many things about the chronicles of Narnia made me irrevocably insane at the small age of six years old but one of the big ones was the bit in prince Caspian where caspian blows susan's horn to try and summon help and it summons the pevensie kids like. that's crazy ok. that's insane. imagine at 12 years old you're given a horn thats purpose is basically summoning divine intervention & then years later someone blows it and summons YOU . I'm crazy !

#for me the thing i think about most wrt narnia is like. becoming a legend. the prophecy kids thing goes pretty basicstyle in the first book #but once u get to prince caspian ur dealing w these 4 people whove basically fufilled the prophecy but their lives arent over!!#both on earth and in narnia theyre figuring out what it means to live past the end of their own stories #& not just the conclusion theyve also lived past the happily ever after thehve had those entire lives as prophecized kings and queens n now #they just have to be people! it makes me a bit crazy #did you know wwii was an event that affected many people and showed up in lots of literature at the time in small ways.#cleb talky #narnia
