#i want him as my trans bf so bad it's not even funny anymore

[animusbell]

Hm! So! @nintenerd64 tagged me to list top 10 female characters from different pieces of media, like, a million years ago, SORRY FOR TAKIN’ FOREVER.

so let’sssss DO it. in no particular order;

1. Undyne from Undertale. Because how could I not list my favorite character from my favorite game! Ultimate lesbiab...

[Pictured above: challenging a 10 yr old to armed combat inside her own home, which is on fire] She is... passionate about passion, for lack of eloquence?? She LOVES Alphys not bc she’s a nerd but because Alphys is excited about what she does & what she likes. That’s just, so good. Being excited for others’ excitement, and just being passionate in general, is a trait I actively try to cultivate in myself.

2. Chie from Sakana. She’s just. Really Good.

[Pictured above: devising a nefarious plot to talk to her BF at work]

She’s just so funny and good and perceptive, a genuinely cool person rather than Girl To Be Romanced(tm)... ((Honorable mention: Sango, the wonderful gal pulling off this plot))

3. Garnet from Steven Universe. Because I’ve gotta, right?

[Pictured above in THE BEST OUTFIT EVER. THE COMBO TUX-DRESS DROPPED MY JAW 2 THE FLOOR.]

Made of love!!! Powerful! Confident! My favorite character from when I first started SU way back in 2013. And I found out I had 2 extremely good lesbians for the price of one. Wonderful, beautiful, we have come so far,

4. Rosemaster from Cucumber Quest. Trans ICON. I just got book 4 recently and I’m SO delighted to see her in physical print.

[Pictured above: Elegant. Stunning. Showing off that vine power with STYLE.]

She’s SO good, and her depth of character is astounding, and her magic power is super creative??? And the way the Roselings love her genuinely because she’s kind to them--yes. YES!!!

((Honorable mention: Glitchmaster, because hell YEAH we are past exclusively nonbinary “robots.” give me more sentient computers that have chosen a gender for themselves and organic people who are nonbinary.))

5. Lucretia from The Adventure Zone

[Pictured above: inoculating some goofs]

She’s fantastic! A female character who’s allowed to make massive mistakes and still be redeemed--that’s rare. And she has such a fantastic development and depth to her character, too, the way she grew during the Stolen Century, the way she interacts with characters, her top notch deadpan goofs... we stan.

6. Johanna (Hilda’s mom) from Hilda

[Pictured above: about to be asked if she’s talking to herself]

Ninte put Hilda herself on the list and i’ve just gotta include this absolute mom of the year. Can I just say, Johanna really struck me from the first episode because of how she treats Hilda (as a capable girl, but still being a reasonably protective mom all the same) and how she’s a character w/ personality and goals in her own right!

I genuinely didn’t know whether to expect a Gravity Falls “that stuff’s not real, dont interact with it” situation or not, but in the moment when she both acknowledged the supernatural stuff AND was okay with Hilda adventuring through it, i just... i really liked that?? I really like that she’s a sensible & important character in her own right instead of a Mom Stereotype of some sort, and I also like her interactions w/ characters other than Hilda, like Alfur (in the image) and David (reassuring him when their souls were gettin’ stolen)

7. Sulla from O Human Star

[pictured above: p l e a s e just do this for me let me have human soup dont out me]

Sulla is so good!! And her narrative is SO important, her struggles with identity and her finding someone like her but still different, and trying to fit in with others. She’s really important, my favorite flyin’ robot gal, bless.

8. Toph from Avatar: The Last Airbender

[pictured above: absolutely destroyin’ a tournament]

Toph is just extremely good. Is there even anything else to say about how good Toph is anymore? She’s a disabled character who still absolutely gets her due and invents an entire new form of earthbending. Also! One of my favorite (and most relatable) moments in the show is still her reaction to her Ember Island Players actor... absolutely fantastic.

9. Ciela from Phantom Hourglass

[pictured above: thinking that because he wasn’t moving, Link was done for]

BET YOU DIDN’T EXPECT A ZELDA FAIRY ON THIS LIST. Phantom Hourglass was the first game I ever played that had like... a story instead of being a series of weird educational minigames. Lots of good memories. Ciela had a very good journey of self-discovery and also every time she sasses Linebeck gives me life.

10. Nyneve from Witchy

[pictured above: ‘bout to do Somethin’ Real Bad]

Nyneve is such a fantastic character and I’m loving her journey so far. A character who clearly has a lot of struggles and flaws but is also so strong and smart and I’m just eternally intrigued to see what’s going to come of her decisions. (Also the comic in general has some fantastic worldbuilding and lots of great characters, check it out!)

...

wow that’s all of em!! tagging.... uh.... you, reader. (or whoever wants to!)
