#also why does every fantasy protagonist have to be the most boring artbreeder yassified model

[githvyrik]

I hate hate hate when I give the mild critique of “yes because a woman in this terrible situation would be very worried about upholding the beauty standards of modern society even though she lives in a Fantasy Realm” and people are like “yeah well maybe it makes her feel better that’s her choice 🙄” like no actually it’s not her choice because she’s not real

#I’m like yeah sure if I had just witnessed a bunch of people being ripped asunder by giants and accidentally released untold ruin from #its ancient imprisonment I totally would take the time to pluck my eyebrows #and it’s like ‘well maybe self care makes her feel better’ why is THAT self care. can’t she just take like a warm bath #(the thing I’m specifically talking about here is a fanart lol she is not described doing intense self grooming in the book) #also why does every fantasy protagonist have to be the most boring artbreeder yassified model #can’t she either be a) Just Some Lady or b) at least look more interesting #ALSO she sweats a lot and lives in a low tech society and is constantly covered in crud. AND she’s a teenager/early 20s. WHERE is the acne
