Y'shtola Rhul!
hi bestie. the squares on this do not properly portray my feelings about y'shtola which are pretty defined by the 14 team's TERRIBLE women writing abilities; but, at the same time, I think Y'shtola is an extremely cool kitty who deserves SO much more than what she gets
Tumblr media
ultimately what bothers me about y'shtola is how often she's pushed into being "the girl who explains stuff in layman's terms and gets to be snarky." When I'm not angry, Y'shtola is a FANTASTIC character and I'm constantly pleased with her any time she's on screen, but then I THINK. Why is her blindness never brought up? Why isn't she allowed to have a character arc while Urianger gets to have his same one three times in a row, and Estinien gets to have one despite not being a scion for SO long? Why doesn't she get to do cool stuff anymore except fake die? Why don't they play around with her tendency to use forbidden magic more? Why isn't she allowed to be Y'SHTOLA FUCKING RHUL, THE COOLEST OF THE SCIONS???
and then i remember they hate women. she's a blorbo by osmosis, if that makes sense. She's not one of my favorites, but she's In The Brain and you're to blame, and I will forever scream about how the writers should give her a chance to be more than just, like I said, "smart one." Like, clearly she has some stuff! But it's never given the FOREFRONT like so many other characters. in Dawntrail I'm begging them to give us some Y'shtola Content because even if she's been present in every expansion it feels like she's rarely there. It bugs me more than anything. She has so many potential little quirks, but it feels like you have to hunt for them, like the whole thing about her minion saying she's 23 but WHO KNOWS. Come on square. please come on. give the kitty the credit she deserves. also give her back her skin tone KTHX <3333
however little sun is one of the best moments in the entire game and all the writing flaws can be forgiven for that.
