Countdown to Agatha: Darkhold Diaries: Day 709
Wanda: “I’m learning how to crochet!”
Agatha: “The hex is gone, but I see the tendencies of the 1950s housewife remain - so, what’ve you made?
Wanda: “Hey, crochet is for anyone! But look - I made a scarf! I gave to Y/N to wear in the cold”
Y/N: *holds up the “scarf” that’s made of mostly unraveled yarn* “isn’t she so creative?”
Y/N: *whispers threateningly to Agatha* “say anything remotely spirit-crushing and I’ll shave Señor Scratchy for yarn”
Agatha: “Wow Wanda! This looks great!”

The #GirlBoss movement in the MCU is extremely pseudo-feminist.
I could be totally off-base with this, but has anybody else noticed that here lately the mcu has had a slight pattern of making a few female characters ridiculously overpowered as well as turbo-hyped by the narrative and marketing…
This specifically includes Wanda, Carol Danvers, and Sylvie.
I’m in particular talking about how all 3 of them had far less time for character exploration and strength build-up than the majority of the other more powerful heroes, had fairly bland and uncreative personalities compared to the other more powerful heroes (Wanda was coddled by the narrative and not allowed to have any ownership in her wrongdoings which would’ve made her more complex, Carol was a victim of the “having the same arrogant attitude as the douchebro male characters is all it takes to make a Strong Female Character(TM)” writers’ mentality, and Sylvie with mary sue-ed to hell), and were generally made more about the cool powers and ‘oooh such a badass’ moments and the aesthetic than the actual depth.
My point is… they’re all so shallow and performative. It’s like the (mostly male) writers looked at the female character and scoffed and said “ok there’s no way this lady’s gonna become a fan fave on her own- we have to help her. We have to give her a boost. I have zero faith in women being able to gain popularity by their own merit (because who’d be interested in a woman, ammiright?), so we can’t just give her a compelling backstory and let that be it. We have to make sure she has the most tragic backstory of anyone on screen at any given time, and we have to make sure the audience knows it! We can’t just give her a specific set of powers and depict them in an interesting and unique way. We have to make her stronger than any other character she’s going to share screen time with and we have to have her flaunt her powers every ten minutes to remind the audience how strong she is! We can’t just make her intelligent in her own way and give her witty banter with the male characters. We have to make sure she makes them look like idiots and condescends them as frequently as possible so the audience knows it! We can’t just flesh out her morals and let her get things wrong sometimes. We have to make it so she’s always in the right and the audience should always be on her side! And even when she does something wrong, we have to make sure the audience knows that it wasn’t really her fault and she still has the moral high ground! That’s the only way we’ll ever get people to like her as much as the main male characters!!”
It’s just…. This is just rank with a lack of confidence in women. They approach the idea of having women front and center with equal parts skepticism and greed. They’re so out of touch with what women want in superhero films and just what women want in general. They fall into the trap of thinking feminists want everyone to know that girls are actually superior to guys, when in reality we just want to be treated with the respect and humanity and agency guys have always been treated with.
And by creating these female characters the way they do (making sure they’re not equal but decidedly better than the male ones, making sure they’re nearly infallible strength-wise, making sure they’re never allowed to be held accountable for mistakes) they literally defeat that whole point. They’re being extremely counterproductive to what feminists are actually trying to do, because they aren’t actually interested giving women genuinely good representation- they’re just interested in pandering to Twitter stans and casual female fans who form their opinions based on a first glance and girls who are so starved for rep that they’ll praise movie-makers for serving up rank crumbs.
They give us female representation but not really, just like they give us queer representation but not really, and like they give us poc representation but oftentimes not really…. Because (surprise surprise) the multi-billion dollar corporation does not actually give a shit about minority issues.

I finished the fic! The Fic™ is what lived in my head rent free for three months - it’s basically my love letter to Ruina Stoneheart with lots of Clay struggling and having a bad time
Destitute grave
Tumblr media
Summary for those who want it!
Reeling back the retort, sitting on the tip of his tongue, the knight forced himself to snort with derision. "Why would I be? I destroyed the nexo knights, remember?"
"So you keep saying," Garg said, his eyes a pair of burning embers amidst the dark expense of his face, "but for a monster of your caliber, you cling to your previous titles with a strange fixation."
The nexo knight had to bite the inside of his cheek so as not to react outwardly. The lack of pain - of feeling - didn't help his predicament. Then Garg's words registered in his mind. "A monster of... my caliber?"
Ingrid cocked her head, pushing Baltic, who had long since given up on being a part of the conversation, out of her way. "You don't know?"
Clay's stint undercover takes a day longer. That changes a few things.

Once again begging Wanda stans to decide if the Darkhold gave her power and turned her evil or if the power was already hers and she was already evil, cause y’all can’t have it both ways.
Y’all simultaneously bragging about how strong she’s “always been” while also completely excusing her actions by saying she was possessed is some bullshit.
