#every scene with the woman in it

[the-valiant-valkyrie]

me writing a letter to schell games about how much i love their female characters in ieytd ESPECIALLY WHEN COMPARED TO THE SOURCE MATERIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (scary) (horny)

#got into an ‘arguement’ with my dad about. how gold.finger was good. aside from. um. well. #every scene with the woman in it #not that I don’t UNDERSTAND that ‘it was different’ and that it ‘targeted a male demographic’ or whatever #does NOT change the fact that it’s. gross. always has been. it was just acceptable to be gross back then. #and other spy parodies from what I’ve seen (like austin.powers maybe??) don’t write the women distinct enough to not feel like satire #meanwhile with schell ​there is at LEAST one woman per title #and they’re all written so well and so unique and so intelligent. and so beautiful. and not named THAT. or anything similar. #schell i owe you everything I own. thank you for beautiful women #thank you for fabby. thank you for solaris. thank you for anna. thank you for diane. for all the other ones too #yaaay……. spins around

Nothing gave me more whiplash IN MY LIFE than going from acowar to acofas.

Remember when Feyre closed the chapter on her relationship with Tamlin and wished him well? Coz the Inner Circle sure keeps forgetting.

#my art #acotar #acotar fanart #tamlin #rhysand #acofas #acowar #acofas is enemy mine #stop coming to his house to bully tamlin challenge #i don't care if rhys comes with an excuse to discuss the boarders he goes off over the MILDEST shit #'i don't want illyrian brutes in my lands' #DDDD: how dare you????? #dude you don't want illyrian brutes in your lands either i don't see them hangining out in velaris #the dudes who die en masse every blood rite coz they'd rather kill each other than climb a mountain #who mutilate their women and would rather discard a weapon if a woman touched it #yeah why wouldn't you want an army of those in your war ravaged lands truly a mystery #rhys coming in with “”“harsh truths”“” more like rhys being a petty bitch #tamlin saves his mate AND HIM from being hella dead without asking for anything back #lost all respect for him in that scene #dude's comepletely winning at life and still can't leave well enough alone #i don't need them to be friends again just stop coming to the spring court #pro tamlin #anti rhysand #anti inner circle

I also just have to talk about this GIF from the training scene because it gets me every single time. It’s different from the other comfort scenes we’ve seen so far (the hug in 1×03, the “Can you feel my hand?” in Shannon’s room, and the smile in the back of the van) because Ava is just stunned.

She was starting to panic inside the wall, begging for Beatrice to “bring [her] out.” Then, when it seems she’s gotten stuck, Ava hits the ground hard and lies hunkered down on her elbows, eyes closed and just trying to catch her breath. A moment later, Beatrice’s hands are on her shoulders and Ava flinches.

Given the way Frances abused and manhandled her in the orphanage, Ava is likely expecting something similar here – for Beatrice to haul her upright and tell her to try again (or worse, lecture her on her performance). But then Beatrice is cupping her face like a child’s, comforting her, soothing her. “It’s okay,” she says. “You did it.”

And Ava just looks up at her in astonishment, like she doesn’t know what she’s seeing. She blinks, processing, as Beatrice strokes her hair, and it’s like you can see the fear leave her eyes.

Because in those words, in that gesture, is “I’ve got you”, “You’re safe”, and “You can trust me.” It’s an affirmation of faith given and faith proven – of Beatrice’s trust in Ava’s success and Ava’s trust in Bea to see her through.

“Thank you,” Ava breathes.

It’s the only thing she can say because Beatrice has come to her aid again, is taking care of her again, and that feeling is still so new and strange, and overwhelming, but it’s also the tenderest thing in the world.

Ava’s gotten a glimpse of Beatrice’s combat skills – she knows the damage she’s capable of inflicting – but in the cradle of Beatrice’s hands is the safest she’s ever been.

Beatrice will not hurt her.

Isobel Thorm, icon, godsend, hero, absolute titan, determined to carry the hurt/comfort genre on her STR 12 shoulders. I adore her.

Of course, the catch is that she herself has also Been Through The Horrors but chooses not to acknowledge this in favour of adamantly insisting on being the caretaker (which she is obviously very good at, like... professionally, as a cleric and healer).

And even more than that, caretaker to a person who is a big nigh-unkillable (but very significantly not, as Isobel herself points out, unharmable!) radiant wall of muscle and holy fury so used to being a champion and protector herself, extremely keen to dismiss her own issues as a bit of "paladin's fatigue" and "flights of fancy" and who is on so many levels, some very fundamental to her being, tied into being A Sword.

I guess my point is... fic writer comrades-in-arms, this is what we call a goldmine.

The trick to writing a smut scene for a het pairing from the mans POV is to make him absolutely wrecked. He needs to be full on simping. It doesn't matter if that's not "realistic"- if that dude is taking himself seriously to an unbearable degree, if he's only thinking about himself and his wants- if he's hung up on things like virginity/proving virginity, and pleasure is wholly centered around him- it's ALWAYS going to come off gross and unsexy.

It's supposed to be fantasy, and if your audience is primarily women, then you're writing for the female gaze.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

#if i have to read one more sex scene where a man is trying to prove a womans virginity and she is just totally fine with this #or its just pure penetration and she gets off in 3 strokes #im going to lose it like how is this difficult to understand??? #like just make him desperate and slutty for the FMC and every though revolves around her pleasure #OR DONT WRITE IT FROM HIS POV

Are you telling me to deliberately lose a match? Then will this misery be over? Is that it? Lose, then you'll find out. You've never once lost. What if it doesn't end even after I lose? Then what will you do? I'll end it for you.

Barbie (2023)

#barbie #barbieedit #barbie 2023 #margot robbie #america ferrera #glorbie #my gifs #like this scene is visually pleasing and though it doesn't pass the bechdel test #its purpose is still the opposite of what you'd expect in such a scene in like a romcom #her 'what if he doesn't like me anymore' isn't worry that they won't get to be together #it's about the final step of the barbies taking back what was theirs to begin with #it's not a friend reassuring her she'll win his heart it's about reassuring her their deceitful plan will work #and i'm grateful for it #because when have you ever seen it #it's all i've ever wanted from every movie/show i've watched that featured a romantic het storyline #(j0hn tucker must die and the 0ther woman don't count 'cause they're both about a womanizer #not someone who tried to overthrow the government;brainwash every woman and make them homeless)

[resizura]

my favorite thing is when in order to show a female character being a Girlboss she gets sexually harassed but then berates the man to put him in his place!!!! /j

#resizura rants #because every sheva edit i see is the scene where the dude grabs her ass and she yells at him #its funny cause it feels like it serves both like the creeps get to watch a woman be harassed but then the feminists who liked the #barbie movie get to shout ‘slayyyyy’ at the screen

[nutmeggery]

there are two types of Good Omens fans

those who have seen David Tennant and Nina Sosanya in Casanova and those who have no idea about this

#good omens #david tennant #nina sosanya #the whole man is attracted to crossdessing woman without knowing she's a woman and having a queer crisis trope is certainly...something #which kind of implied casanova was a little bit bi #but also every time i see david and nina in something togather i just remember that one scene in casanova #also it was such a missed opportunity for trans character

[spider-xan]

Mina didn't knock out Griffin with a metal bucket after outsmarting him by splashing him with paint to make him visible while the men struggled just to have people say that the comics sidelined her for being a woman and only the men got to do anything in the action scenes.

#lxg #league of extraordinary gentlemen #mina harker #mina murray #she is literally an active participant in every action scene in the first volume #for all of the comics' many problems #mina being sidelined bc she's a woman is not one of them #she is literally the protagonist and leader and most proactive member of the team
