I am slowly drip feeding unit swap vbs more songs they have a whole 5 (ish) now wow good for them

#rat rambles #sekai posting #random card au #now tbf 3 are for an and the other 2 are for kohane so the character balance isn't. great. #but to tbf part 2 ena is literally the main protag of unit swap 25ji and she only recently got 1 song to herself #but hey she had a presence in serveral other songs so she wasnt completely absent #unlike akito and toya who very much are currently lol #the problem is that toya is underdeveloped and akito has the ena problem where most of his stuff is watching his fucked up friends like wtf #ok ok ena is way more proactive in her perceiving of the fucked up friends than akito is but still point stands #but yeah I wouldnt be surprised if the girls collectively got like 10 songs before any of the boys got one #hashtag feminism <3 #it's also just easier to find songs for them since they had their whole doomed toxic yuri thing going on #+ a whole load of other issues that I actually have fleshed out lol #girlie who fantasizes about murdering someone and girlie that fantasizes abt being murdered #<- not in a romantic way they just have issues 😔 #also fun fact the biggest red flag song on the unit swap au playlist and devatably any of my au playlists period belongs to kohane good job #tbf to kohane its not abt anything she ever acted upon just the fantasies of a fucked up 14 year old who has been on the internet since she #was like 9 and as such has a bit of a. skewed perception of how relationships are supposed to work. #anyways the song is gallery piece by of montreal I was not even slightly exaggerating when I said they were doomed toxic yuri #again obligatory reminder that these two never got left alone long enough to truly dive off the deep end so dw too much #basically a lot of the follow up to their unit story is the two going oh hot damn we were absolutely so fucked up thank god we drifted apart #less so oh we were in an abusive relationship and more so we were almost in an abusive relationship and we dodged a bullet #kohane eventually gets sleep meds and realizes that she wasn't in fact a husk of a person she just had been dealing with chronic insomnia #and an eventually gets the emotional support shes been desperately needing for the past like what 5 years #both still have issues ofc but they manage to stop actively spiraling and enabling eachother as they do it #get my girlies some anxiety meds they're both trembling chihuahuas and they dont even have someone to carry them in their handbag smh

does dc have like. any adult butch women? at all? the closest example i can think of is karsta wor-ul but she's not a recurring character and that's like. literally it. surely im forgetting some... onyx maybe counts... but like dc still always draws women so feminine like they Have to have form-fitting clothes and big boobs and full faces of makeup it's hard to actually call any of them butch designs. (not that women with big boobs or form-fitting clothes can't be butch but like in terms of character designs clearly made by straight men you know?)

#karsta is butch i mean but she's not exactly a major character #she appears in like 3 issues of action comics #sorry im just thinking about that shit with cassie being a ''princess girl'' again #dc have major female characters who don't look like barbie dolls challenge: failed immediately #but also i feel insane surely there's SOMEONE right like??????? #karsta probably only counts to me bc the artist for that arc did at least draw her with muscles and all #but even then she still had the makeup #this is rambly idk im just sooo. you know #hashtag feminism is when all the women are skinny and traditionally feminine with long hair and makeup but it's EMPOWERING #rimi talks

The thing about Charles that most enrages me, vis-à-vis his plotlines and development, is that his crimes and his punishments are mostly entirely disconnected. He gets comeuppances all the time, but only occasionally are they a consequence of him being Bad, as opposed to just being annoying—or, sometimes, just being an easy target. And then sometimes he does or says something utterly heinous and the narrative gives him nothing but a slap on the wrist. Hawkeye and BJ (and sometimes the entire camp!) will torment him for minor, petty things, like destroying his French horn because he was bad at playing it. But the things he said to Margaret in the supply room in Mail Call Three were so vile that the scene is usually cut from syndicated airings. And what does he get for it? She jabs him with an elbow and pushes him out of the room and then nothing bad happens to him for the entire rest of the episode. 

I have a whole half-written essay on the utterly nonsensical way Charles’ bigotry is portrayed on the show—the way it had to be portrayed, really, in order to make the character function—but this is the single worst result of that whole mess, to me. Because this mismatch between actions and consequences affects all the other characters, too. If Hawkeye, and by extension the narrative itself, gets angrier at Charles for snoring than for yelling about keeping his family’s bloodline pure (not to mention being racist against Max—you know, Hawkeye’s supposed fucking friend?), then that says something about both the protagonist and the show. Something extremely unflattering, to put it lightly.

#but then again everyone is racist to Max in late seasons so I guess we're not supposed to care :)))))))))))))))) #Charles Emerson Winchester III #MASH #MASH TV #Disclaimers: Obviously I neither need nor expect a didactic 1-to-1 karmic correspondence from these plots. #But it's so annoying that late seasons are called preachy when they seem to mostly lack any moral backbone at all #at least on every issue except feminism. (Thank you Ms. Alan ''Honorary Woman'' Alda!! <3) #Also not to say there was said karmic correspondence with Frank either exactly; but it wasn't important that there be one #because Frank was constantly awful so he was constantly dunked on. A strawman punching bag to hit as much as you like. #Charles gets punched all the time but it never feels like our hero Super-Hawkeye standing up to a bully. Even though it SHOULD. #Sometimes in spite of Charles' myriad privileges #it feels like Hawkeye et al. are punching DOWN. #Which they are NOT! And YET! #Starky's Original Posts #Starky's text posts #unlike those other posts which were filthy woobification THIS post is hashtag Charles Critical #so it can go in the main tag

ok so here. here's the thing about giving silurian magic in the webtoon,, i think it actually diminishes her character a little bit?

because listen listen the thing about silurian is that she's,, just a girl. she's just a girl. that's how her father sees her, that's how everyone around her treats her and that's all she has known her entire life. she's just a girl, she can't even inherit her father's title nor be his heir because to him she's just his daughter who he loves very much but who one day he'll marry off to a hopefully good man to get an heir who'll take care of his city. and she knows this. she's not,, happy about it but she's aware of it. and then one day, this horrible thing happens in her city, this terrible very not good thing happens and there's a lot of people, her people, in danger and the one behind this is a man who everyone trusted and believed in and it turns out he's been killing innocents this whole time and is planning to kill thousands more. and silurian is just a girl right? she's just a girl, nothing very much special about her. but this is her city and this is her people and she can't just sit around and wait for everyone to die.

so she stands up and does something about it.

and she's just a girl so it may end up with her death. that's a very real possibility. but this is her responsibility and she won't stay down when the people around her need help.

and there's just something very poignant to me about a character that doesn't have much power nor is expected to accomplish a great amount of things to look around them and decide they still want to help. that even when surrounded by amazing people and terrible odds, they in their normalcy still can and must help in whatever way they can. especially when the narrative acknowledges this and shows that their efforts were not in vain and they deserve the same recognition as more powerful characters.

that's kind of the point of silurian's character. she was brave and she was kind and her death was a tragedy not because she was in a relationship with one of the male characters but because she was a good person who wanted to protect others with what little power she had and she didn't deserve to die.

so to give her powerful magic that allows her to easily defeat what was supposed to be a major villain in the original novel in which she died,,, kinda misses the point a little?? imo??

so,,, that's the thing. about giving silurian magic

#i talk a lot <3 #tged #the greatest estate developer #silurian namaran #i'm all for giving female characters op abilities i think that fucks hashtag feminism and all that #but i like giving them depth and fulfilling character arcs a lot more #y'know what i mean? #that plus the fact that giving silurian magic powerful enough for her to be an imperial mage #makes her dad look like even more of an asshole and also dumb as fuck #like sir. why are you marrying off your daughter when she's that powerful. why isn't she already your heir?? #you can be that misogynistic right??? #i hope they prove me wrong and give me an actual reason for her to have magic beyond 'it's cool' #which it is but like. there has to be a deeper reason to change the plot this way. #one that hopefully doesn't diminish the character of the unfortunately few female characters in the story lmao

Thinking about the implications of a female character created to support a man’s story, a secondary character who appears only in (what appears to be) a retelling of some tale. Who probably never existed even within the overarching story’s fictional world. Who was probably just created by one (fictional) man to explain another (fictional) man’s poor behavior. A girl who is young and pretty and at first seems independent, but soon becomes completely dependent on the man who swept her off her feet. And then an unmarried housewife. Who participates in events around the town until it gets too hard without her “husband” around (he never planned to be around). Who gets lonely and cries when she thinks no one is looking, and there might as well be no one looking because no one steps in until she’s at the window and her house is covered in weeds and the rain floods the ground into a swamp and she can’t reach him and he can’t reach her. A young girl who lost her parents an unspecified “long time” ago, who probably misses them and who may have gone without a father figure for some of her formative years, and maybe that’s why she was so eager to move in with a man twice her age, but it doesn’t matter because she wasn’t given that depth and she was never going to be given that depth. And probably none of that ever happened anyway. She’s a girl with no agency at all, not even over her own existence.

Thinking about the implications of taking this girl, this character, and giving her some agency. Turning her into the first character of a story within a story to be proven real. To have physical proof of her existence, to be given flesh and blood, and, most importantly, to have the power to tell her own story. But it’s the same story, more or less. Though this time, she gets to make the move on a man who’s only 10 years her senior, not 20. And he gets to be the virtuous hero who refuses her, the temptress. And her heart still gets broken, but she’s the one breaking it. And it’s almost silly, the way she pined after this man who only ever saw her as a child. Until you find out how it happened before. But it’s her story this time, and she’s the one telling it. It’s her poor decision, and she gets out mostly unscathed. But she’s not the hero, and she’s not telling the story for herself. It’s a story told to another man to explain another man’s character. It’s her story, and she’s the one telling it, but it’s not about her.

Thinking about what it might mean, if it means anything, to take her and reimagine her once again. To keep the love story (if that’s what it is) but get rid of the age gap, and make them high school sweethearts. So she gets introduced by name early on, and gets left early on. So everyone knows she’s one to pay attention to. And she’ll get to tell her story later, but not until the end. Before then, she becomes a looming figure. A name on a slip of paper. A name that’s the source of conflict, the central conflict that builds throughout the story. She’s almost the antagonist, except it’s not her, just her name and what it could mean. And she still gets to tell her story, and it’s still really about the men, etc. etc. And it’s the same story, for the most part.

Thinking about agency and storytelling. About who gets to tell their story and who doesn’t. Is it worth it to have agency if it just means you’re the one who makes the big mistakes? Is it even really your agency if that was always supposed to be your story anyway, like some sort of destiny? Are you just getting blamed for it? Is it still your story if you tell it for the benefit of someone else? Is it still your story if you’re not the one telling it? What does it mean to have agency within a work of fiction? Do any of these questions even matter because it’s all fictional anyway and no one has control and everyone is created to serve The Narrative and The Protagonists? What does it mean to be a woman in fiction? What does it have to do with being a woman in real life? If you tell your story within a story, do you still have agency if there’s someone else writing the larger plot? What does it mean for a female character if the author is a man? The screenwriter is a man? The composer is a man? The director is a man?
