&lt;p&gt;Guys.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Guys, you keep saying that to prove your godhood you have to know something about the universe that noone else knew.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does nobody else see the pitfall in this?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On reflection they may as well just multiply two REALLY BIG numbers together mentally and have the other…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;#wrath of Pluto&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Actually, Pluto was the Roman’s name for Hades. They named a planet after a god of the dead then revoked its planetary status and thought everything would be okay. You fools&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“You need some help down there?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Janiel does not turn. “I do not require any assistance. Go about your business.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She bites back the urge to append “human.” Distancing herself was easier when she knew she was not one of them, but now her senses are compressed to a handful of wavelengths, her mind buzzes with sensation, and her body shakes itself out of control.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“But I came all the way out here.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The voice is much closer the second time, and she leaps to her feet, startled by her own lack of awareness. When she sees the source of the voice, she stills.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Demon,” she says low, summoning her blade.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The blade does not come.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She hesitates, grasping about herself. She finds she is not unarmed – tucked within her vessel’s waistband is a sword that feels familiar in her hand, for all it does not sing to her as it should. She raises it, well aware that the hellspawn could have attacked her at any time in her distraction and she could have done nothing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If she is still alive, there is a reason for it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Sheridan,” the demon says, through blackened mouth, although the vision of it flickers against the neatly made-up meat it is riding.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“What is your business, filth?” Janiel demands.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“My name is Sheridan,” she repeats, pointedly. “See, humans have this ritual. I say my name, you say yours. I’m sure you’ll get the hang of it real soon.”&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://centrumlumina.tumblr.com/post/51329691710</link><guid>http://centrumlumina.tumblr.com/post/51329691710</guid><pubDate>Sat, 25 May 2013 22:04:32 +0100</pubDate><category>writing</category><category>spn fic</category><category>janiel</category><category>and introducing:</category><category>sheridan</category><category>hope you like the sound of this cause there's 2k more where that came from</category></item><item><title>i am blowing off everything i should be doing to write the self indulgent fallen angel ofc fic and...</title><description>&lt;p&gt;i am blowing off everything i should be doing to write the self indulgent fallen angel ofc fic and it isn&amp;#8217;t even going well.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I laughed, I cried, I threw up in my mouth a little, but I finally have all of the data for &lt;a href="http://centrumlumina.tumblr.com/tagged/spn-bechdel-test"&gt;Supernatural’s Bechdel test&lt;/a&gt;. Now, let’s talk results.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Overall, 20.93% of episodes received a passing score of 3. 10.47% achieved a score of 2, 49.42% received 1, and 19.19% of episodes were given a null score for failing to feature two named female characters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over the entire show, the mean Supernatural episode scores 1.33 points (standard deviation 1.01), with a median and mode score of 1. In terms of numbers of named female characters, we can expect a mean of 2.63 women (SD 1.27) with median and mode 3. That is to say, a typical Supernatural episode has 3 women who never talk to each other.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[More analysis + graphs below the cut.]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://centrumlumina.tumblr.com/post/51016252375/spn-bechdel-test-analysis"&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SCIENCE! STATISTICS! I love it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sadly, I’m actually a little impressed that as many as 20% passed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I do think it’s worth noting that Seasons 7 and 8 scored higher than all the previous ones (except 1! What’s up with that? Maybe I need to go back and re-watch the first season…). Especially given that there hasn’t been a female with as much screentime as Ruby since Season 4. (I mean, that itself is a problem, but on the other hand, it means that there are MORE women who play recurring, important, non-man-oriented roles in the Winchester’s lives on a daily basis.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And I wonder why that crazy dip in Season 6? Like, was Sera Gamble all, “oh no I’m a lady taking over this super-dudely show, better make sure there’s EXTRA dudes” and then in Season 7, she was just like, “nvm, screw it.” I think that’s my Sera Gamble headcanon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Science and statistics are awesome!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This made me think of another cool stat to run: number of recurring female character appearances in each season.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Season 1: Mary (2), Jess (1), Meg (4), Sarah (1), Meg Masters (1). &lt;strong&gt;5 characters, 9 appearances.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Season 2: Tessa (1), Jo (4), Ellen (6), Lenore (1), Ava (2), Mary (2), Jess (1). &lt;strong&gt;7 characters, 17 appearances.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Season 3: Lisa (2), Bela (6), Ruby (6), Lilith (2). &lt;strong&gt;4 characters, 16 appearances.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Season 4: Ruby (11), Pam (3), Meg Masters (1), Mary (2), Lilith (3), Anna (5), Tessa (1). &lt;strong&gt;7 characters, 26 appearances.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Season 5: Becky (2), Meg (2), Ellen (2), Jo (2), Anna (1), Mary (2), Jody (1), Karen (1), Pam (1), Lisa (2). &lt;strong&gt;10 characters, 16 appearances.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Season 6: Lisa (7), Gwen (4), Jody (1), Meg (1), Tessa (1), Eleanor (3), Raphael (2), Eve (2), Ellen (1), Rachel (2), Lenore (1). &lt;strong&gt;11 characters, 25 appearances.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Season 7: Jody (3), Jo (1), Jenny (1), Becky (1), Susan (3), Karen (1), Krissy (1), Meg (3), Charlie (1), Channing (1), Linda (1). &lt;strong&gt;11 characters, 17 appearances.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Season 8: Channing (1), Amelia (6), Linda (2), Naomi (7), Charlie (2), Josie (2), Abaddon (3), Meg (1), Krissy (1), Jenny (1), Sarah (1), Jody (1). &lt;strong&gt;12 characters, 28 appearances.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://centrumlumina.tumblr.com/post/51316209878</link><guid>http://centrumlumina.tumblr.com/post/51316209878</guid><pubDate>Sat, 25 May 2013 18:48:23 +0100</pubDate><category>spn bechdel test</category><category>probably not that accurate cause i don't have much time but an interesting overview</category></item><item><title>We Could Tell Stories: koboldfacedlie: maggotmaster: baronessvonbullshit: how is the...</title><description>&lt;a href="http://ehjorth.tumblr.com/post/49527090234/koboldfacedlie-maggotmaster"&gt;We Could Tell Stories: koboldfacedlie: maggotmaster: baronessvonbullshit: how is the...&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://koboldfacedlie.tumblr.com/post/48945512633/maggotmaster-baronessvonbullshit-how-is-the"&gt;koboldfacedlie&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://baronessvonbullshit.tumblr.com/post/48939267807/how-is-the-healthcare-system-funded-in-pokemon"&gt;baronessvonbullshit&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;how is the healthcare system funded in pokemon, they must either have some sort of state which taxes the little shops which sell you ether and repel and shit or it’s some gigantic mutualist utopia or something&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;in pokemon black and white pokemon walmart and pokemon hospital are in the same building making it very clear they take place in america&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the pokemon world’s economy is eccentric, but there are clear signs towards the existence of state power: ie, the fact that there are police. imo, all signs point to a utopian post-capitalist society that has only operated under its current mode for perhaps two generations. this reorganization of society was not precipitated by any revolution or even conscious political action, but rather the natural result of reforming the pokemon leagues and the systematic cataloging of pokemon and their capabilities thanks to professor oak’s pokedex.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;throughout pokemon world’s history, pokemon have been used by humans to achieve things that they couldn’t do personally. indeed, as per Klink, Voltorb, Trubbish et al, new pokemon species will develop &lt;em&gt;sympathetically&lt;/em&gt; to human society. however, forming a Bond between human and pokemon was significantly more difficult and required either the long-term taming of a pokemon raised from its juvenile evolutions or (more recently, within the last 700 years) the use of apricorn pokeballs, which were difficult to obtain due to the difficulty of cultivating apricorn trees. add to this the fact that pokemon at higher evolutionary tiers are less disposed to obey humans unless they’ve somehow proved their worth, and the vast majority of human owned pokemon would be placid, domesticated types and otherwise low power species. more powerful species and legendaries would only attach themselves to humans in dominant positions: kings, warlords, and so forth, and these pokemon would be bloody engines of war (see: pokemon conquest).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;this feudal society evolved into a capitalist one thanks to the inception of the leagues. initially little more than the equivalent of a village cock-fighting ring. particularly adept trainers would find themselves able to make a living betting on the results of pokemon battles however, and would travel from village to village, challenging the best the locals could muster. eventually, they would make enough to retire, and many founded pokemon “gyms”, schools and dojos where people could pay to learn from them and perhaps even challenge them for status. the influence and wealth and gym leaders became such that they de facto controlled their town. this obviously drew the ire of the nobility, who attempted to crack down, but the gyms formed together into leagues and mounted a successful defense. the nobles were forced to play ball with the league, or else were replaced by them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the resultant society was perhaps more “fair”, it operated under a meritocracy of a sort. anyone who was able to tame or catch a decent selection of pokemon, and challenge the league to make themselves known, could achieve high status and wealth. becoming league champion is, in its way, just as arbitrary an achievement as winning a war: enough to satisfy powerful pokemon’s desire for a competent master. a broader array of pokemon entered “common” use and could be directly leveraged to fulfil the requirements of a larger, more egalitarian dominant social strata, specifically in terms of construction and manufactory. this spurred the equivalent of the pokemon world’s industrial revolution. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;it wasn’t really fair of course, the children of gym leaders and former nobles, those who possessed land to hunt pokemon on. These people all tended to have better access to pokemon, and the money to buy apricorns. but there was no mass movement in the pokemon world equivalent to socialism. the majority of pokemon world’s people were still largely agrarian, the use of pokemon made the patterns of land enclosure and mass employment as laborers seen in our world unnecessary. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the world carried on much as before until about 60-70 years ago (i’m basing this timing on the fact that some older trainers, such as Draden, suggest that they tamed their original pokemon rather than catching them) when Silph Co invented the mechanical pokeball. they could be manufactured in massive numbers and, more importantly, it could be done very cheaply. suddenly everyone could have pokemon, lots of pokemon. not just a couple of Flaafy that you trained over your entire life, but dozens of the damn things, of every conceivable type, even ones previously considered dangerous like Arcanine and Dragonite. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;suffice to say, this shook things up some. &lt;span&gt;the leagues adapted quickly though, incorporating increased democratization and overhauling their structures to fit with the new paradigm. it may perhaps seem odd that the leagues acquiesced in most respects to popular political demand, but we  have to bear in mind that these were compromise measures: any nation that didn’t adopt the mechanical pokeball was going to fall behind, as mass pokeball ownership &lt;em&gt;exponentially&lt;/em&gt; increased industrial capacity, and it was better that than face a real uprising from one of the new dangerous criminal and terrorist organizations who were able to quickly gain power by stealing pokemon (previously virtually impossible). the founding of the International Police around this time shows how seriously the leagues took the threat from Teams.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;the new economy has, since then, gradually become divorced from capitalism. power, food, technology and consumer goods are all easily produced with the assistance of pokemon. they have become so cheap to produce that they may as well be free. the only form of poverty exists among the sick and disabled, who can’t catch or train pokemon, and that’s why social safety nets like nationalized healthcare have been broadly adopted. they are paid for by heavy taxes on “pokemon products” (potions, pokeballs, etc) which remain the only goods with any real cost outside of really specialized luxury goods. this is why in black 2 you don’t get paid money for starring in movies; you instead get rare items and pokemon products from your fans. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;most money probably doesn’t even come from jobs, since you need very little of it to keep yourself comfortable. money is kept in circulation mostly through pokemon battles, since trainers are the only ones that really need it (this is what allows Veterans to make a living as trainers also). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;this isn’t to say that access to resources is equal, far from it! certain old families still have more at their disposal (and more potent pokemon breeding stock). thus rich boys and ladies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;efficiency is only increasing since the development of the pokedex. while most pokemon species were discovered already, the pokedex allows detailed demographic information to be collected, making it easier for people to catch the pokemon they really want. it’s also led to stronger understanding of type interactions, see: the discover of dark and steel types (fairy type is still in peer review). since the pokedex was invented the world has been hyper-modernized, and now teleporters, maglev trains and the like are a reality. this is not a coincidence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;your average citizen in pokemon world is schooled until age 10-12 or so, and then begins a pokemon journey. they bond with various pokemon, and those pokemon determine what career they will have, by social convention. some jobs don’t require pokemon, but these are probably less prestigious outside of management roles. most of them will challenge and beat at least a few gyms. the gym leaders maintain several rosters to provide an appropriate challenge depending on the number of badges their opponent already has. their own personal team will see next to no use in an official context. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;not many people challenge the elite four, the top trainers that are part of the league, but doing so is considered very impressive. again, the elite four don’t use their best teams, they’re mostly battling children here. becoming a region “champion” will qualify a person for a gym leader position or a role in something like the battle institute, with membership in the elite four or even as the sitting champion themselves being a remote possibility for the future. the actual champion champion, the one you challenge, is determined by the elite four fighting among themselves and appointing the winner. they then replace the empty slot from among the gyms. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;yes, it’s possible to essentially join the government of a pokemon world nation by being really good at cockfighting. don’t forget, it’s widely believed (apparently sincerely) that a person who is a good trainer also necessarily has other positive attributes, so this isn’t that weird. and it seems plausible that the league trainers are supported by a larger &lt;/span&gt;bureaucracy that handles much of the day to day administration. &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;in conclusion: jesus christ i hate myself&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your fandom weather report for the day: The sky is not falling, but you’ll want an umbrella, because we’ve got a heavy shitstorm settling in for the duration.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Okay, so I woke up today to the news that Amazon is now launching Kindle Worlds.  [ &lt;a href="http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=176060&amp;amp;p=irol-newsArticle&amp;amp;ID=1823219&amp;amp;highlight=" target="_blank"&gt;Press Release&lt;/a&gt; ] [ &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_375976362_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;docId=1001197431&amp;amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;amp;pf_rd_s=center-3&amp;amp;pf_rd_r=08Z6NPAN3GWZ6MCPV1HP&amp;amp;pf_rd_t=1401&amp;amp;pf_rd_p=1549889182&amp;amp;pf_rd_i=1001197421" target="_blank"&gt;Kindle Worlds page&lt;/a&gt; ]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have spent the entire day trying to come up with a coherent response.  It’s such a massive topic that I don’t know where to begin - but coming on the heels of yesterday’s post about &lt;a href="http://saathi1013.tumblr.com/post/51020340743/dear-origific-authors-fanfiction-writers-are-not" target="_blank"&gt;publishing &amp;amp; fanfiction&lt;/a&gt; (which was specifically about fanfic that gets the ‘serial numbers filed off’ before publishing), I felt an obligation to write a follow-up in the light of Amazon’s announcement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You should probably read those links before you freak right the fuck out, because it’s totally okay to get outraged, here, but probably not for the reasons you think.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now let’s dissect the likely reactions from all quarters and compare them to the actual &lt;em&gt;facts&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is literally nothing better than a sexy, badass lady.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CHING MOTHERFUCKING SHIH&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This lady was such a badass, I can’t count the ways, but let’s try.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She got married to an already successful pirate, Zheng Yi, and took over when he died. She was crazy strict to keep an iron fist over her fleet of pirates, and the punishments for stepping out of line were brutal. &lt;span&gt;If you stole or looted from a town that provided assistance or tribute to the pirate fleet, Ching would chop your fucking head off with a battle axe and dump your lifeless body in the ocean.  If you stole from the pirate treasury, or she &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;thought&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt; you were stealing from the pirate treasury, Ching would chop your fucking head off dump your lifeless body in the ocean.  Raping any captured female prisoners was punishable by immediate death.  Fuck, if you had &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;consensual sex&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt; while on duty you got your head chopped off and the woman was chucked off the boat no matter where they were at.  Ching wasn’t fucking around, and she wanted to make damn sure you weren’t fucking around when you should have been working.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Two years after she took over, she got so notorious for ransacking towns and taking taxes on them that she pissed off the entire Chinese government, and sent out a massive fleet to bring her in line. Most pirates probably would’ve said this was out of their pay grade and taken off to hide out or ransack some other country.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Ching Shih said fuck that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;She not only faced them head on, she wiped the floor with them, killing hundreds and capturing sixty-something ships from the Imperial Fleet. Prisoners were given the choice of joining up or being executed on the spot. The Admiral of the Chinese navy, Kwo Lang, was so afraid of being captured by her or going back to admit he’d been beaten by her that he committed suicide.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;For the next two years, Ching Shih not only kept on pirating, she fought off Chinese forces as well as Dutch and British warships that the navy called in to help. Finally the government gave up and offered her amnesty as well as amnesty for her then SEVENTEEN THOUSAND crewman. Ching Shih got to keep all her plunder, so she retired to the countryside where she opened up a brothel and lived until she was 69.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;tldr: I’ve come to terms with the reality that I’ll never be as terrifyingly badass as this woman was.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i will be as badass as she&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You know, I heard of her, but I’d either forgotten or never heard that she grew old and retired having never been brought down or defeated ever.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She &lt;strong&gt;won&lt;/strong&gt; being a pirate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She got history’s &lt;em&gt;high score&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kristen:&lt;/strong&gt; Strong female characters need to remain female, or else it’s just like, what’s the point?… (&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWL9FYUgI18&amp;feature=player_embedded"&gt;x&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="tag" href="http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/I-agree-with-the-caption-but-not-the-actual-words-on-the-gifs-hmm"&gt;#I agree with the caption but not the actual words on the gifs hmm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a class="tag" href="http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/but-yeah-making-%27strong-female-characters%27-synonymous-with-%27characters-that-act-like-the-common-idea-of-what-men-are-like%27-is-problematic"&gt;#but yeah making ‘strong female characters’ synonymous with ‘characters that act like the common idea of what men are like’ is problematic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a class="tag" href="http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/like-women-can-only-be-strong-if-they-%27act-like-men%27-and-thats-bs"&gt;#like women can only be strong if they ‘act like men’ and thats bs&lt;/a&gt; (via kawaiijolras)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;hmm i don’t think i agree with the caption any more than i agree with the words tbh, because it seems pr. essentialist to me?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;like it’s a very strange space to exist in, because on one hand, yes, female characters who are traditionally feminine are given less value because our society gives less value to [socially constructed!] femininity (&amp; associated traits) than it does [socially constructed!] masculinity (&amp; associated traits), that’s obv. true and i feel like some people might interpret ‘strong female character’ shallowly and think by having female characters who lack depth but can kick butt with a sword they are doing something feminist when really all they’re doing is venerating the same set of values they have always venerated w/o examining it critically? like yes that is a thing that i’ve often noticed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but at the same time i think it’s necessary to realise that feminine women, women who conform to traits associated with femininity, are validated in their presentation/accepted into society more than women who fit more into the traits traditionally associated w/men or the aesthetics or the inclinations or jobs etc etc etc because we are what’s expected out of women? (though for myself personally i’m not even going to go into the way my race plays into this)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp; i think that’s part of what does bug me about the caption even though i do (kind of) agree with the sentiment? it doesn’t address the lack of critical consideration given in the development of these characters, or the disparity between the ways the characters generally considered to be ‘strong female characters’ and characters who are not are treated (though more and more now i’ve personally noticed a lot of derision towards ‘strong female characters’) but it does create a very dichotomous view? or like&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;this idea that the more ‘masculine’ you act the less ‘female’ you are? like this “need to remain female” thing seems to associate one set of characteristics with women to the exclusion of other ones, like the more of the other ones you bring in, the less you ‘remain’ female? but nothing a woman (who identifies as such) takes away her womanliness, even if it’s within the sphere of things associated with men? like not all women are femme, but everything a woman does ought to be considered womanly because we’re women? and the implication that female characters who &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; fit into that realm of things men are usually associated do not ‘remain female’ seems more than a little suspect?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ITA with this. It’s weird to me how similar Kstew’s point is to the &lt;a href="http://mswyrr.tumblr.com/post/50328628424/iwilleatyourenglish-anita-sarkeesian-does-not"&gt;video by Sarkeesian&lt;/a&gt; I was annoyed by the other night. Weird but not really unexpected because in a sexist society everyone is taught three things. (1) that there can only be &lt;em&gt;one&lt;/em&gt; right way to be a woman and that (2) we must battle each other over claiming that one right way and that (3) we should then police each other based on that one set of criteria.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Being a woman is portrayed as a zero sum game and if somebody else is winning you’re supposed to feel like you’re losing if you’re different.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So this is like the femme ladies version of “OTHER GIRLS” VS “ME” Tumblr posts&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In that case, girls who don’t feel like they fit for some reason are saying “the narrow ideal of what a good woman looks like should be shifted to be more like me, I should have moral superiority!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And this is, I guess, women saying I KIND OF HAVE SOME SUCCESS IN THIS SYSTEM&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NEVER WANT TO LOSE WHAT I HAVE NOOOOOOOOOO&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So they perceive letting women who are not femme like them be awesome as a challenge to the &lt;em&gt;one right way&lt;/em&gt; they benefit from/feel more comfortable with as femme women and they’re all HELL NO. I don’t want to have to have different gender expression and abilities in order to be valued as a woman! NOOOooooooo. Another mode might be winning, which would mean I’d lose. Noooo. Keep the standards the way they are (because I know how to succeed at this).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And, okay, I will admit that there’s genuine critique in there somewhere as far as there have been times when media will paste certain traits coded as masculine on women characters and fail to write them well otherwise and act like that’s ~shining progress~. And there’s genuine critique in there as far as saying (like Carol Gilligan and “difference feminism” said) that values coded feminine are devalued and should be celebrated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But the point is to move &lt;em&gt;beyond the notion of a zero sum game&lt;/em&gt; and realize that all women deserve to feel like their way of being and experiencing/expressing their gender is valid and worthwhile and they too can be a hero. And if they want to fantasize about being physically powerful, that’s awesome! And if they want to fantasize about being built to outsmart, that’s awesome too! And all shades in between.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like, for example, Brienne is not less of a woman or less of a hero because she’s butch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Her storyverse culture tells her she’s less of a woman. And our culture tells women with non-traditional gender expression they’re lesser women. What kind of feminism would &lt;em&gt;agree with those worlds&lt;/em&gt;? They’re fucked up goddamn worlds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is, btw, why there’s fandom fights over Sansa vs. Arya. Because people are &lt;em&gt;absolutely stuck&lt;/em&gt; on the idea that there must only be one narrow way to be a woman that’s considered right. And feminism is just fighting and bloodying each other to get to define that one narrow way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reject the zero sum game and say, hey, we live in a world where there’s actually a lot of women. And a narrow set of criteria will never wholly express the multiple forms of beauty and dignity and strength they possess. And actually, no, they should not be judged based on how they meet one narrow set of criteria. Because that diminishes the humanity of all of us; because Judith Butler is right and &lt;em&gt;none of us&lt;/em&gt; in fact fits the perfect stereotype or ever will, not matter how a perfect stereotype is changed. Feminism is not fighting over how we’re going to define the narrow set of criteria that we’re judged by, it’s rejecting forever the thought that narrow criteria is the right way to go.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I mean, ffs. Like… speaking of Judith Butler, why on earth would you want a feminism that portrays her as antifeminist because of how she expresses her gender? And why, on the other hand, would anybody want a feminism that would portray an awesome femme woman like Beyoncé as not doing feminism right?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How could we possibly let that be done to either of them??? Who wants a feminism that would look at such glorious, extraordinary people and tell them they’re not good enough?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ugh. Challenge the zero sum game, sisters!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, to end with a quote by Nicki Minaj: “If you can stand next to a beautiful woman, who also sings, and not be insecure and be confident on who you are — you’re a queen too”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lemme add: if you can stand next to a woman who expresses her gender in non-traditional ways and not be insecure and be confident about who you are and admire her for the person she is — you’re both freaking amazing!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;imagine being fourteen and having the mass-murderer who killed your parents telling you that he’s going to kill you&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and then escaping with the corpse of a fellow student AND THEN HAVING NO-ONE BELIEVE YOU&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AND GOING BACK TO LIVE IN A LOVELESS HOUSEHOLD FOR SIX WEEKS WITH NO INFORMATION FROM YOUR WORLD, THINKING THAT THAT MASS-MURDERER MIGHT BE STANDING ON YOUR DOORSTEP AT ANY MOMENT&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Harry has every right to be angsty in ootp I’D LIKE TO SEE YOU HANDLE IT&lt;/p&gt;
