#i do know that woc are often pushed into domineering roles bc they're seen as aggressive and i will not stand for that when it comes to jan

[janeromeroshow]

it makes me sad sometimes that jane seems to always be reduced to only the "mommy" survivor by people in the fandom, or a mentor figure to the others, and part of me worries that it has to do with her body type ( since as we all know, larger women are often relegated to "motherly" roles ), and while nobody in the rpc specifically has made me feel this way and you're all amazing for the most part i want to say this about my portrayal;

jane is a deeply complex, but also deeply broken woman. even prior to being taken by the fog she was suffering with stress that caused her to act erratically and with hostility, even when she seemed to be at her peak. yes, she wanted to be a role model to those around her, but at the state she's in emotionally upon her arrival to the fog, she's probably not a good one.

she's empathetic, kind, and diplomatic, yes! she's also willing to bodily attack a killer from out of a locker. she's used to fighting for the things she deserves, whether it's with carefully chosen words or a more literal manner. one of the biggest emotions she was feeling when she was taken was anger that she'd supposedly been lied to her whole fucking life, only to be treated like an idiot for it in front of millions of people.

#ooc. #musing. #idk my point is let jane be fucking unhinged!! let her get mad and make bad decisions and be selfish and irresponsible sometimes #i also wanted to add in a section abt how she's one of those characters who's both sexualised (bc ''thicc'') #but also STILL pushed into a motherly role bc of the ''mommy'' trope #and yeah thats a huge part bc of her body type #and probably also her ethnicity but i don't feel fully equipped to discuss in detail that since i am not latina #i do know that woc are often pushed into domineering roles bc they're seen as aggressive and i will not stand for that when it comes to jan #anyway yes ppl can find jane attractive! i think she's very beautiful! she's a woman whos in tune w her own sexuality and wants #and they don't necessarily fit the stereotypes that i sometimes see pushed on her #mostly by gross gamer boy fans who've never interacted with an actual woman since school lol #but yeah my ORIGINAL point is she's a flawed character and that's ok! she's allowed to not be perfect or one dimensional
