#top female lead

[anotherfanaccount]

My dearest is going to the hall of fame of dramas. It's just so good.

Gil Chae and Jang Hyun are soulmates. Truly. They both are so strong and so silly even in these times. Gil Chae still dreaming about her dearest and sulking that it's not him when she woke up. Girl, you are the finest thing on that timeline and I love you for that. And Jang Hyun forgetting about the injury and straight up starting the teasing because she said "my dear". My dear. MY DEAR. MY DEAREST.

I can't talk about them anymore before I combust. Knowing that they survive at least till the penultimate episode is my solace because they're just so adorable together. All their little flirtations and teasings while surviving. It makes it more tragical actually. But it is just so good.

#my dearest #kdrama #nam goong min #ahn eun jin #never knew they would have this much chemistry but god they're perfect #Namgoong min always delivers though #ahn eun jin has so perfectly built up her place #she's growing so well #gil chae is going to be my top favourite female leads of kdramaland #she's that good and it's only just starting

might be reaching here but i really enjoy the parallel of yuno and kazui extending their arms out to invite us into their rooms. yuno is asking for our hand because she desires warmth while kazui is encouraging us to go forward and expose his lies. so much love for these two funky cat people and their costumed alternative selves

#also i think it's interesting how kazui's door is topped off with w/ a dome shape whilst the rest of the door maintains a square shape #since only the female prisoners have had curved tops like that. #it's silly but it also coincidentally looks like they're facing eachother too #milgram #yuno kashiki #kazui mukuhara #꒰ 🕊 ꒱ ── cinnamon lead astray

for todays wip wednesday i thought it would be kind of fun to do a little wips vs final drafts post just to kind of illustrate how far back first drafts can really start. so following the famous 5+1 fanfic format (4+1 cause u can only post 10 pics on mobile)—four wips (left) & their related final drafts (right) + one that is still a wip (bottom two)

#in the doodle those are supposed to be their eyebrows fyi #this post is just cause we writers like to suck our own dicks sometimes #an anon sent in a follow up ask after my writing advice post talking about little notebooks… #i have gone through three 200 pg notebooks during the drafting of some of this content lol #one 200 pg notebook was basically ONLY slider one shot content #1. the little doodle that led to the cyclone one shot #2. ayrmy…. this doesn’t even count as a 0.5 draft #3. this is not the first attempt at this scene. this big blowup scene went through like a dozen different drafts #& it’s still kind of whatever imo #5. here are my original notes/outline for wwgattai :) it’s all i had to go on for the entire story #the first concrete image for the entire story i had was of mav begging ice to quit smoking #and ice quitting only cause he asked out loud #6. this is the WIP. female mav for a prompt fill. will then lead to of course! lesbian charliemav. #thanks for tolerating all my wip wednesdays :) they’re just kind of fun for me even if nothing makes sense out of context #top gun #top gun maverick #tom iceman kazansky #pete maverick mitchell #icemav #top gun fanfiction #edts notes #btw in the cyclone excerpt epaulettes should be shoulderboards whoops #ignore the weird tag numbers there were originally 6

Another doodle of the siblings. I used Akane-Banashi as a sort of style-guidepost

#mk oc tomek #mk oc billie #mortal kombat oc #biforceoriginal #For real though that manga has some awesome art and if you're looking for something with a strong willed female lead it's top tier

Since when did shitting on male characters (who are victims, in whatever form they may come in) to promote female characters (who typically aren’t actively angry about what happened to them, as the “ideal” victim) become the defining feature of being a feminist comic fan

#believe it or not being a misandrist is not cool #kelseethe #not to make general statements but so far #every person I’ve seen claiming that 1. Jason is obvs wrong and we shouldn’t think he’s right or #or 2. this female character is a better trauma victim than Jason because xyz #seems to be at least somewhat enthusiastic about female empowerment and promoting female characters/stories #but only at the cost of putting down male characters #their reasoning for why this female character is better is almost always that they've undergone redemption aka ‘bettered’ themselves #by realizing it’s wrong to stay angry and have demands #by conforming to the ideals that the patriarchal systems and the men who enforce this system project onto them #not only is this rhetoric of ‘you should like x character instead of y’ just plain stupid on it’s own #but saying if you’re a woman or feminist you should like x character INSTEAD of y is even stupider #on top of how this is bordering on terf ideology #implying that cis women should only relate to and enjoy stories about other women also implies cis men should only care about men’s pov #regressive and divisive and damaging all around #why do people think Jason fans (whether they be male female or anything else) need to justify liking him #this type of shit leads to the stupidest waste of time discussions #every person who has this opinion also feels the burning desire to tag it with Jason’s name which is just. wonderful #real thoughtful of you to assume we cared or wanted to see that

Okay, but The Marvels was PHENOMENAL.

Fuck all those people who judged it before it even came out.

#the marvels #captain marvel #ms marvel #Photon #THE CUT SCENE HAD ME SCREAMING OMG #DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE CATS #easily top five favourite marvel movie #it also made me realize that this movie probably made a lot of men uncomfortable #theyre so used to being catered to and represented in the superhero movie genre #and they had to watch a whole movie with fem leads and a fem villian what champs #then heres women who've only had two female lead movies before this one #and what #like 4 female villains??? #OUT OF 30+ MOVIES #all those haters can suck they mama cause this movie was great go empathize with some women for once XD

FINALLY SOME GOOD FUCKIN POLITICAL NEWS

#franposting #anyway olivia chow is mayor #first female mayor since amalgamation #first left leaning mayor in THIRTEEN YEARS #free me from john tory pls #and torys endorsed candidate AND doug fords endorsed candiate both lost #doug ford actively dislikes chow which yknow. is only ever gonna be a positive for her in my books #yes i DO have some concerns abt chows financial plan #but out of the leading candidates she was by and far the best #the other top 2 were conservatives and the city does not need more hesitant inaction rn #its falling apart yall #anyway. #cndpoli #politics sorry not sorry #if she enacts the housing tax thing. please burst torontos housing bubble. ms chow. im begging u. #50% of the city is renters and we can't afford shit #also maybe she can balance out some of douggies more destructive plans

[madwheelerz]

Me, watching a Nancy stan have a breakdown over her, apparently being overhated-

#byler #like I'm sorry ig? #not really tho bc my brain is all like weird and so i have moral codes for the characters that I like #and nancy broke one of the ten commandments in a top ten anime betrayals type of way #jokes aside #why #why is it an attack to get critical over a female lead #it's the same thing that happens with el #people are always falling over themselves to apologize and explain that they don't blame the character for the actions #which is like insane to me #bc the stranger things crew is only so good bc of their flaws

Lilo my love,

I might have found a new drama for us to scream about 👀 and it’s a law drama. Vincenzo! Which you have probably heard of, but I finally started it. It’s silly, heartbreaking and the main lead gives both Doom and Ethereal Prince Lee Soohyuck energy. With a badass female lead!

xoxo your Doom

kie my darling, hello 😘😘 perfect timing as always because i have been looking for something to watch in between new eps of this new kdrama i started (which btw, i LOVE!! it’s called strong girl nam soon and it’s a spin off from strong girl bong soon (have you heard/watched it?))

i actually started watching the first ep of vincenzo a few months back but it didnt pull me in right away so i gave up 😭😭 but i fully trust your taste and judgment so i will give it another go!! and i do like song joongki (he was in arthdal chronicles, another show i love) and a badass female lead is always a huge selling point 😍 ok away i go! 💕

#this is the main bad guy in strong girl nam soon btw (but don’t be fooled behind that pretty face is pure evil 😭💔) #can you tell i’m trying to persuade you 👀😘 #it’s a bit over the top at times but it’s silly fun with badass female leads and a really cute male lead a bunch of side quests and the #tackling (or attempted tackling) of a few really deep sometimes dark topics #*(cute male lead(s) i should say) #ok ok i’m off to watch vincenzo now! #kie <3 #my favourite doom <3

I want a female character main lead who is the spy, assassin, or mafia whose skills impress our boys. Maybe she saves them 🧐

im sorry and it was a post from a mutual no hate but every post i see comparing taylor swift to mitski makes me want to pull my hair out. the reason their music is so different is because they ARENT IN THE SAME GENRE!!!!!!!! TAYLOR SWIFT IS A COUNTRY SONGWRITER WHO MAKES MULTIGENRE POP MUSIC!!!!!! at LEAST compare her to someone closer to her genre like a kelsea ballerini or a kacey musgraves like its just bad song analysis

#barry.txt #taylor swift #sorry but theres constantly like five posts floating around comparing taylor swift to random indie darling tumblr likes #whose making like. conservatory educated conceptual singer songwriter types and i get the instinct but mitski just #has completely different influences training and goals #taylor swift is a country writer. she writes country songs and turns them into pop songs. sometimes she writes normal pop songs sometimes #she write folk pop. I get its annoying to see people call her the best writer of our time or whatever but at least critique her well #taylor isnt mitski or janelle monae because she WRITES COUNTRY MUSICCCCC #and like. radio pop singles #thats why her songs have so many fucking words in them #sorry im. in a bad mood and i fucking HATE posts that cant just talk about how a female artist matters to them and have to randomly insult #taylor swift as if her and mitski have beef or something bitch mitski doesnt care #sorry im being a bitch about this but im so MAD and in a WEIRD MOOD and OFTEN REPRESS MY EMOTIONS WHIVH LEADS TO ME #BEING BITCHY AND OVER THE TOP WHEN ARTICULATING THEM #whatever i doubt anyone who makes these posts are going to see this but if i didnt post this id explode #how are you making me feel defensive over a highly awarded a list pop star i hate it. i hate this

[stellerssong]

i am sending you a star for the heians fic. what did i miss. please gush about the heians.

did you miss anything in the heians fic? i don't think you missed anything in the heians fic. or if you did miss anything in the heians fic i don't know if it is anything that is necessarily of interest to anyone but me? y'all, i went in way too hard on this fic. the amount of research i did would infuriate and dismay you. and in all fairness i was being metaphorically swung around by the ankles and thwacked against a wall at work at the time of writing it, so i kind of had nothing else to do but get a little annoying about historical references, but. y'know. @ me maybe make it about samurai next time or like something people care about.

oh, here's a thing i guess—i kind of liked my rendering of the one historical poem presented in full in this fic, Michitsuna no Haha's poem of the barred gate. in Edward Seidensticker's translation:

Do you know how slow the dawn can be when you have to wait alone?

and in Sonja Arntzen's (superior) rendition:

Sorrow, sorrowing when one sleeps alone the time until night opens into day, how long it is perhaps you now know it too.

like DAMN Sonja. that hits DIFFERENT. but at the same time having decided to not commit to the 5-7-5-7-7 meter throughout because i'm too fucking lazy i wanted to keep the flow of the poetic exchanges less formalized and more conversational as they would have felt in real heians time, i wanted to compress the feeling Arntzen captured into something a little pithier like Seidensticker's version. (but less stupidly phrased. "how slow the dawn can be"? like my mans, surely "how slow the coming of the dawn" makes more fucking sense.) hence:

How long and chill the night when one must sleep alone—perhaps you understand it now!

and yes, i lost the "opening" imagery that plays on the barred gate, and yes, maybe i added in some meteorological allusions that weren't in the original, and no, i still don't speak any japanese and am just going on vibes, SORRY I KNOW THAT MAKES ME JUST LIKE ARTHUR WALEY WHICH IS DISGUSTING OF ME, but idk. all things considered, at the very least i think mine reads a leetle nicer than Ed's.

and additionally, here's a secret: i kinda fucked up my shinden-zukuri architecture in the first section frankly. there's no real reason why the lady of the house would be hanging out in the hisashi alone in the middle of the night while her ladies-in-waiting are asleep in the moya. i guess you could handwave it like "ohh she stayed up waiting for Kaneie ohhh she couldn't stay in the inner room with all those people ohh Desire was simply doing some fuckshit" but like. get real. be serious. why would she have a brazier out there? why would she call it "my rooms"? (i guess there's an argument to be made that by "my rooms" she's referring to her entire wing of the house but still.) she's practically NAKED hanging out out there fully dressed in multiple layers with the screen slightly cracked. UNACCEPTABLY whorish behavior.

fucking intolerable. i'm humiliated. this is worse than the poems not scanning in a language i have never studied and do not speak. Sonja Arntzen is en route to my house to visit unspeakable horrors upon my person at this very moment. and it's like noooo, Sonja, please, i'm not even a heians scholar, spare me and i'll help you hunt down Royall Tyler instead!! but she doesn't care. she just. doesn't. care.

#ask games #chatter #from what i understand it's pretty normal for all the academics in a given field to want to kill each other with weapons #(this user <- is not an academic) #but the difficult thing in english-language heian scholarship is there's like eight people in there tops #so i guess it's sort of the thing to do to just violently call out your academic colleagues in your published works #because like. come on. you're talking about a monograph about spirit possession as a device for female empowerment #OBVIOUSLY that's doris bargen. you look dumber if you try to gloss that. everyone knows you're talking about doris #which leads to some very funny moments in published works where the acknowledgements are like ''i'd like to thank paul schalow'' #and then the body of the work is like ''PAUL SCHALOW IF I EVER SEE YOUR MEDIOCRE SCHOLARSHIP AGAIN YOU WILL KNOW FEAR BEFORE THE END'' #anyway the tyler gengy is my favorite translation. and yes given the chance i would still kick royall tyler in the nuts #because i don't think he thinks women have brains #and that is the true spirit of heian scholarship babey!

Briefly rereading ACOK's Arya chapters for edit reasons and literally my heart flutters at the imagery and language and also sighing like a school girl over Jaqen who has been done so dirty by the fandom on here and like... How can anyone doubt that Arya is going to be getting a romantic arc when two of the books feature her charming, falling out with, and still being protected by textually swoon-worthy murderous hunks, among all the other indicators

#acok #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #pureasoiaf #Arya stark #a clash of kings #hewantshisposts #like truly the brain rot..... on top of not understanding the basic principles of subversion #wait stop or im about to go on my four hundredth rant about grrms subversion of female archetypes again #and what that means for the female lead relationships.............. nobody understands it like me fr fr fr

[eyelessrabbit]

I'd hardly call myself a fan of helluva I'm more of a passive watcher but my god it just hit me how much I hate moxie. He's so whiney all the time and pathetic and his backstory is so so forced the literal only good thing about him is his wife but he keeps fucking hogging her screen time my fuckin god

#the worst thing about helluva is how it has so many cool as hell female characters #like loona and millie and verosika #like shit man i LOVED barbie in this ep #but they CONSTANTLY have them serve the two main male leads #and then one of those leads are annoying as hell on top of that #blitz is pretty cool tho i like him a lot #karkat ass mf

Dislike of fancy clothes? This calls for a fashion show! (Patreon)

#Doodles #SCII #The Captain #ZEX #More scratch stuff that I'm too pleased with to sit on lol #I'll get to all of it eventually! Eventually... #But for now some more human!ZEX ♪ Because he is always the handsomest regardless of species #Still working a bit on his proportions as a human tho :P I think I've mentioned it in passing that I had a headcanon about humanized VUX #That they'd be curvier than their started-as-human counterparts - much less curvy than VUX of course! #Chests and hips more pulled in and slightly thicker waists - though I suppose humanized female VUX would look a little more consistent lol #Just observing each other's bodies like ''Why did YIK keep her proportions?'' haha ♪ #But that's why I'm still working on it! I think I made ZEX's hips a little too wide in the first one give him a more svelte top-heavy look ✨ #Still with that waist tho ♥ #And the rest some clothes silliness! More headcanon stuff actually lol #The idea came from one of my first doodles of ZEX actually! Being annoyed by wearing fancy complicated clothes over a simple uniform #And then there's the reasons Why he'd be dress fancy - like his wedding for example #Reinforcing unpleasant feelings upon unpleasant circumstances a uniform is at least neutral #There is also something funny to me about ZEX just going ''Ugh'' lol - he's honest! #Obviously had to lead to human fancy clothes tho!

take me back to 2016 when i could enjoy a star wars without remembering rian johnsons garbage movie and getting mad

#esb was on tv and i was like ooh i love movie. *5 minutes later* oh god i forgot that i am so angry. #avpost #i hate you shitty character writing i hate you completely erasing characters' traits offscreen i hate you cringeworthy sense of humor #i hate you sidelining the protagonist of color for a plot cul de sac that only serves to 'teach him a lesson' he didnt need to fucking lear #i hate you taking away all the positive traits of another character of color to just make him a stereotype #i hate you flattening the female lead to have no more personality and goals of her own just to be a pawn for drama b/w two men #i hate you shallow girlboss feminism that doesnt actually hold up to even mild scrutiny and isnt even progressive #i hate you undercutting every poignant emotional moment from the previous movie to make a shallow joke #i hate you 'subverting expectations' by insulting the audience and throwing away every plot thread that had been set up by tfa #i hate you ruining the entire series just bc you wanted a limp sadboy redemption arc for a character thats literally based on neo nazism. #i hate you throwing a bone to shippers of a pairing between a woman and her symbolic rapist (the creators' word for what he did) #i hate you reylo i hate you kylo fandom i hate you racist writing i hate you everyone who mistreated john boyega i hate you rian johnson #and just to top it off i hate you people who saw the fanboys have a meltdown bc they cant stand movies w women in them and just #decided that it must mean that this dumpster fire is actually really good and progressive and now have to keep fucking hyping it up #as if its not just a complete shambles its such a bad fucking movie and rian johnson is a bad writer and i hate him
