#like. guts is treated as a tool within the story but he's an active protagonist. casca is treated as a tool within and by the storty itself

a lot of things could be fixed by making casca a butch. the rest of the issues could be fixed by making her a protagonist before a girl
#look. u can have her struggle with feminity all u want without going for the boring and frankly stupid 'im a girl but i dont wear dresses'#casca pressured to perform feminity as its seen within the society and struggling with her morals (following rules) and her desires#(how good it feels to deviate and indulge in masculinity. indulge in what she wants). even as a knight suffering misogyny#have her confront others' definition of womanhood without going for 'here she is in a dress and naked still a girl despite the sword' the#the way butches do by merely existing happy in their masculinity. casca proudly claiming the title of woman and sister and confronting#anyone who treats her as less for it without doing a 'im as good as the boys' but simply 'i am good because i am me'#casca allowed to show off and truly stand out?? god.#there's so many ways to make her struggles as a woman a knight and a person living around griffith's aura interesting in a way that doesn't#dehuminize her and treat her as a tool#like. guts is treated as a tool within the story but he's an active protagonist. casca is treated as a tool within and by the storty itself#it sucks :/
