I think if you’re going to write period fiction about girls set somewhere in the last two centuries, you should read fiction about girls written during that point in the last two centuries.

For instance, I happen to have a couple shelves full of girls’ books from the start of the 20th century, and I can tell you that–at least in America–Acceptable Young Woman Protagonists of the time tended to do things like

drive cars (some books are about “auto clubs,” which is an especially fun window into the time. I wish I liked my car as much as these girls do theirs)

fly planes (mostly in books about flying, but not only that)

go to women’s colleges (MOST of them do this!)

run their own social lives, very much including dating

get jobs

And that’s not even including the spy/crime book heroines, who also tend to Face Down Criminals and Solve Mysteries and Save The Nation. Which…is not and was never intended to be realistic, probably, but was clearly acceptable in books for girls.

So I really question the Historical Female Characters who absolutely must carve out their own anachronistic ways to get anything done under the Oppressive Social Norms Of Their Time. Like…Betsy of the Betsy-Tacy books was having a fairly modern high school experience and planning to go to college and become a professional writer in the 1910s, with her family and friends’ full support. Maybe just move to Minnesota, girls?

ECHO HAS EARS???

The fact that they never took Tech to a space casino to hustle people at cards is such Bullshit they could have made so much money in a single night doing that .

Phee babysits Omega for them and they all go to space Las Vegas and it just turns into the Star Wars version of The Hangover

Like it would be so funny cause it would probably just look like this

It ATE the crew! "I have a plan."

If they manage to wrap up all the storylines in the bad batch final episode I'll never doubt star wars again

Bad Batch Ep. 14 (?) Spoilers Mt. Tantiss Base - A Review

Review of Mt. Tantiss Base, submitted by a non-architectural expert nonetheless possessed of some modicum of common sense 1. Have a way around the death jungle 2. Stop putting all of these crates in hangar bays. Seriously. Move them. No crates allowed. Every rebellion agent ever has somersaulted for cover behind some convenient crates at least once their lifetime. Statistically, it's got to be the biggest base-killer and expenditure cost the Empire has 3. Have someone check-pointing an actual check point, like the hangar bay door instead of the hangar bay open space (with CRATES IN IT) 4. Have full-body intimidating blue scans that actually do more than "oh, you have some organic flesh here, you must be authorized!" 5. Do not put the gigantic Zillo monster that you knew had to be coming -- because some people (squints at Filoni) absolutely cannot have a Star Wars climax without a Large Beastie with a Semi-Righteous Vendetta -- in close proximity to your most closely guarded Force-sensitive prisoners 5. Do not have vents. No vents. Let them all suffocate 6. And, of course, the biggest one: Stop making your prison cell walls out of removable LEGO bricks. Basically:

This has been a PSA.

gotta think how funny that was. Spend a whole book that was half about chasing and panicking after these two hobbits in mortal danger and, after a detour to fight for the ongoing freedom and life of Man where everybody almost died at least five times, they FINALLY make it to where those two hobbits were taken -- They get there, and the two hobbits are lounging on the wall, high as kites and happy and fed, like "heeeeeeyyyy guys -- oh hey Gandalf! -- yah no Isengard is ours. We took it over with our new tree besties, like, six weeks ago. So how've you been"

March 5th - Aragorn, Gandalf, Éomer, Gimli, Legolas, Théoden, Erkenbrand and the riders of Rohan arrive in Isengard, guarded by Merry and Pippin

Bad Batch Season 3 Ep. 14 (?) Spoilers Concerning Dr. Scalder

Dr. Scalder: I hate all children of course as a liberated Imperial career-driven scientist but THESE WEIRD LITTLE GUYS IN PARTICULAR REALLY GET MY GOAT I know the show "needed" a Secondary Baddie to Gleefully Hate and Represent the Evil after Emerie's had her weird not-as-bad-as-you-could-have-been arc that would have been helpful to have when she was experimenting on this particular child the FIRST time (*cough cough * OMEGA *cough cough*) but like. Could we maybe have something a little more resourceful than shifting the evil one step to the left on the career ladder or

How did we go from Hunter sniffing dirt to measure distances in The Clone Wars to him not knowing that a living breathing creature was right in front of them in The Bad Batch season 3
