Btw i love this tag by @thalassous i'm trying to adapt the kuragin-dolokhov trio into classic mean girl archetypes now. On one hand fedya is the most Actually Evil of them so he could take the queen bee spot. In this case Helene would be the deceptively quiet second in command and anatole would fit naturally into the brainless bimbo slot. However Helene's socialite status also makes her a natural fit for the queen bee spot while fedya has those themes of envy and social climberism that i love to explore so he could be the resentful second in command. On the third hand anatole is the most nepobaby, doesn't have to put in any work, never experienced a consequence, effortlessly popular bitch ever and i do tend to write both fedya and helene as bitterly aware of his privilege over them in that way - so he could be his own special kind of queen bee with the other two as his "underlings". Much to ponder.
Actually the real question is who's veronica and jd
"girl dad" has got to be one of the disappointing terms. What do you mean it's just some guy with daughters? I assumed we were talking about like. Butch milfs or something.
okay americans i gotta ask because as an European i grew up with lots of american shows and cartoons and in a lot of them there was an episode where they give the protags a doll or an egg or a bag of flour or whatever and told them pretend to be its parents or something
Where is my fantasy female protagonist who's a little too socially adept maybe I'm tired of the assumption being that all fantasy female protagonists don't really understand the nuances of conversation in politicised situations. I want a girl who knows exactly how to play people and is always a little privately concerned that she's evil for it.
hey boss i can't come in today it's a sunny day and there's a lovely breeze coming in through my window, yeah it's rustling the branches of the tree outside that's finally bloomed so it's pretty serious
I love when fiction makes the audience feel guilty about their role as the audience. When something fucked up is treated as a joke but later it's recognised how fucked up it was and the audience feels guilty for finding it funny. When a character breaks the fourth wall to plead for help, and you can't do anything so you just watch. And you know that the characters pain isn't real, but they're begging for help and you're not helping because their suffering is entertainment for you
