Our love is like a never ending meadow ♡

General idea: My favorite hsr characters romantic headcanons.

Featured characters: Kafka, Blade, Dan Heng, March 7th, Welt Yang, and Jing Yuan

Warnings:

Reader's gender: Gender neutral

A/N: I went a little crazy for March 7th and the ones past her and it has a very different vibe from the rest but I just felt a little bit silly

━━━━⊱Kafka⊰━━━━

🔾 A relationship with Kafka is very casual, and has a general "go with the flow" type consistency to it.

🔾 While it is quite casual, she still can be very romantic.

🔾 Her love language(s) would be words of affirmation and gift giving. She often will buy you stuff when she sees something that reminds her of you.

🔾 She will often buy you clothes that she thinks would look cute on you, as she's very well-versed in fashion and such.

🔾If you are a Stellaron hunter along with her, she doesn't feel as strong of a need to protect you, as she figures that you should probably know how to hold your own in battle, and she figures that you have the intelligence to know how to stay safe.

🔾 If you aren't a Stellaron hunter, she has a much more protective nature when it comes to you. She won't let you get involved in anything that has to do with her work, and she feels the need to be near you whenever you're out. It's not that she doesn't trust you necessarily, she just doesn't want to mess up and let you get hurt.

━━━━⊱Blade⊰━━━━

🔾 If you are dating him, know that he is definitely head over heels for you. He would be the type of person to never feel romantic or sexual attraction until he met "the one" or whatever you want to call it.

🔾 He genuinely loves you, but romance is very foreign to him, please be patient with him.

🔾 Like Kafka with being protective if you're not a stellaron hunter, but this time even if you are he's really protective of you. He doesn't know what he'd do if you got hurt or died :(

🔾 His love language is quality time, just try to change my mind. I dare you.

🔾 He doesn't believe gift giving to make sense, as it feels odd to him. He doesn't like words of affirmation (specifically giving words of affirmation) because he doesn't know how, and despite being kinda touch starved, he is not a fan of physical touch, unless you've been together for like a really long time. he'd never bring it up though because he's scared of rejection (he's just like me fr). He has nothing against acts of service, he just prefers quality time.

━━━━⊱Dan Heng⊰━━━━

🔾 He's not extremely focused on romance, and doesn't wish to go out of his way to be in a relationship, but he still enjoys being in one if he likes the other person.

🔾 He's a casual yet loyal lover. He doesn't show his love too often, but when he does it's clear that he's serious about how he feels.

🔾 He's not really one for romantic things. He'll buy you stuff every once in a while (and they're really thoughtful gifts too though. Like he is amazing at picking out presents for people), and do other things like going on dates with you sometimes, but usually won't feel inclined to

🔾 His love language is words of affirmation and acts of service. He also likes quality time though, but he easily gets burnt out from social situations, whether you both are in public, or alone.

🔾 He doesn't understand social cues (he's autistic and just like me fr) so you sometimes will have to guide him through things to do with social interactions

━━━━⊱March 7th⊰━━━━

🔾 She is so silly and ajdfnvljfdnvljdfnv. She is a hopeless romantic and I just KNOW IT. She is just like me fr

🔾 She, unlike Dan Heng, loves romantic things. She will take you on dates, buy stuff for you, MEMORIZES YOUR FAVORITE FLOWER AND BUYS IT FOR YOU ALL THE TIME.

🔾 She does want to have the romantic things reciprocated for her though, and will feel kinda neglected if you don't at least make an effort.

🔾 She is very hyper. VERY HYPER. She will be the sun to your moon. The light to your dark. The BTW creature/ADHD creature to your TBH creature/Autism creature. She is everything and she is soooooo silly

🔾 i think I'm projecting onto her too much but IDC SHE'S SO COOL

🔾 She loves you so soso much and is very loyal.

🔾 HER TAKING YOU OUT TO DO PHOTOGRPAHY STUFF TOGETHER >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

🔾 yeah I'm not okay she is so silly

━━━━⊱Welt Yang⊰━━━━

🔾 Dilf

🔾 Sorry...

🔾 Anyways........ he is a very attentive lover, AND OMG HE WOULD 10000000000000000000000% CALL YOU STUFF LIKE "DEAR", AND "MY LOVE" AND AWOOOGGAAAAAA

🔾 Anyways.

🔾 I do not know what I am writing but I am smiling so hard right now

🔾 His love language is both gift giving and quality time just try to prove me wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!

🔾 I think it would be difficult to get in a relationship with him. He seems to be the type to wait like months before even bringing up going on a date, and he likely wouldn't be the one to bring it up anyways.

🔾 He is so babygirl

🔾 IDK WHAT TO WRITE FOR HIM SORRY THIS IS A SHORT ONE SDFKHVBDFJLVNFDLJN

━━━━⊱Jing Yuan⊰━━━━

🔾 he is so..... MMVKJNDFLVMDFLKMDFKJDFLJVDJ

🔾 Like hey babygirllllll

🔾 I'll stop now

🔾 Anyways,,,,,,, super attentive lover pt. 2!!!!

🔾 I luv him he would be so kind and stuff and jndvljdfvndfjlnvldfnl

🔾 he would genuinely be a really casual, yet really romantic and sweet lover

🔾 I honestly forget his character mostly so this very well could be ooc

🔾BUT HE SEEMS SOOSOSOSOSOOSOSOSOOOOOO SWEET AGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

🔾 This is another short one because i'm getting lazy so it's mostly just my ramblings, but i don't trust myself to continue because I am going to go feral for this man istg.

ᴰʳᵉᵃᵐ ᴱᵃᵗᵉʳ

DO NOT REPOST, REUSE OR CLAIM MY ART AS YOURS IN ANY WAY OR I'LL BREAK YOUR LEGS! :) ♡

This cvnty guy is Reno, one of the OCs I have had since like a decade (I'm old, let me be ;^;); And especially since I've had him for such a long time already, I haven't been satisfied with his design for like 2 years?

So now I've finally decided to give this guy a redesign, so he, too, can finally serve 💅🏼✨️

Playlist:

Can be found on Spotify:

Fandom info:

(Everything under the cut for length)

CW/TW: Mentions of child abuse and cheating, cigarettes/smoking, drinking

General Info (subject to change depending on the fandom) :

Name: Tiger Reno (タイガー • レノ, Taigā Reno)

Name meaning: "the Dark/Brown", "the Advisor", and "the Rebirthed"

Epithet: Dream Eater

Age: 26 / 28

Birthday: 25.03.XX (Aries)

Birthplace: Barcelona, Cataluña, Spain

Height: 1,96m / 1,99m

Weight: 87kg / 86kg

Handedness: Right

Gender: Male (ENG: he/him | JP: ore-sama)

Orientation: Omnisexual, poly tendencies

Nicknames: Chilihead, Red, Spikes, Punk, McDreamy

Status: Alive

Personality:

Reno's a pretty humorous and fun-loving party animal. He loves going on adventures, setting out without hesitation to try even the wildest water slides or attend the most chaotic parties. Whilst often being somewhat responsible, he can also completely let go of said sense of responsibility. He loves laughing his ass off, drinking until morning comes, accepting all the serotonin any of these activities give him. This often leads to him taking even the silliest bets, no matter how they will end and what he'd get from them.

The redhead dislikes having to deal with boredom and tries to find as quick as possible some way to occupy himself in some way. At least he's amazing at striking up a conversation (unlike when having to calm down an angry or crying woman).

Although he may not always let on, Reno actually is intellectual - even above average, and so he enjoys a good game of chess at least once a day. This also shows in his actions, such as thinking before acting and his cunning in various situations and negotiations. Another point in how his intelligence is noticeable is Reno being habitually late. Although he's the organized type of guy, this does not reflect what his room looks like. Technically, Reno is a disciplined and careful young man. His foster father raised him in his biological father’s place (as per his request since he couldn't be by his son's side all the time) to be responsible, polite, and supportive.

It happens often that he forgets to be polite and patient. He can turn cold like ice and become a mean jerk quickly if you push the right buttons even though he normally is pretty tough to provoke.

Similarly, thanks to his mother, it takes Reno a lot of time to trust someone. He developed trust issues because of her abusing him when he still lived with her as a child, even though he wasn't responsible for what she did to their family. Due to her personality, he developed a tendency to be sneaky and not wear his heart on his sleeve. Dream Eater is still learning about things like relationships as he claims himself to be "not made for them", thus not necessarily seeking out a partner for life.

Thanks to his father’s blood in his veins, he's gifted with a high self-confidence - sometimes a bit too much, though. His ego sometimes quickly is hurt because of different things. Besides this, Reno is a cool, tough guy with lots of charisma. In addition to this, he simply doesn't know how to deal with angry women because of Serena. This way, he developed the "habit" of withdrawing into a "safe area" and being alone.

Familial Background:

They have various occupations, such as Revolutionaries, Marine soldiers, pirates, merchants, florists, journalists, etc.

Most of them have a close relationship to each other, including always being there for the other family members despite their differences. They're simply a normal family after all. The only actual bad blood there is is between the Tiger family and Serena's.

Character Background:

Reno was born and partially raised on Sabaody. He was six when Agni learnt that his wife had been cheating on him and abusing their child, with Serena consequently also throwing him out. Not wanting to stay with the fury of a 'mother' and her lover Gabriel, the boy ran out to try and close up with his father, but they got separated in the crowd. He was found by an old friend of his father’s, Slavick. He took Reno with him to their HQs, where he joined the Revolutionary Army and began his training as Slavick's adoptive father and disciple.

After a few years, he also met Sketa, to whom he had a rather tense relationship, without due to her having betrayed her cousin Slavick. On the contrary, he grew rather close with Hikari (who'd later become his girlfriend), Sabo, and Koala.

Until the events of Dress Rosa, Reno had always been searching for Agni, wishing to tell him about the incidents with his mother for the sake of his inner peace. Per coincidence (a mission assigned to both of them individually from one another), they reunited on Doflamingo's island, developing their father-son relationship anew.

Reno isn't aware that he actually has gotten two half-sisters at this point and thus considers only Agni, Slavick, and a handful of the other Revos as his family.

Favourite Season: Summer on a summer island

Den Den Mushi: Fire red with a yellow-orange house

Tokyo Revengers:

Name: Toragari Reno (虎狩レノ)

Meaning: Toragari = tiger hunt

Age: 16 (2005) / 18 (2008) / 28 (2018)

Birthyear: 1990

Languages: Japanese, Spanish, English

Occupation: High school student, delinquent (vice leader), yakuza (rotten timelines), martial artist & instructor (Revenge timeline)

Backstory:

Reno was born in his family home back in Barcelona, Spain. His family is filled with all kinds of people with great diversity. There are gang members, soldiers, "normal" folks like retail workers, florists, journalists and such. Most of them have a close relationship with each other, and the only ones who do not live in the same home as them are Fudo and Reno. Regardless of their distance, they're always there for the other family members despite their occasional differences. They're simply a normal family after all, albeit they do have their black sheep as well.

Still being a couple at that time, Serena and Fudo raised Reno together. The boy was six years old when his father left the family's flat in Tokyo after finding out that she had been cheating on him for quite a long time and also abused their child. The man even wasn't allowed to take their son with them but promised he'd come to take him to his new place when the right time came. As Serena's "new" lover Gabriel (Beth's father) moved in on the same day, the young boy didn't want to stay with his disloyal, mean fury of a mother anymore, hoping to get to his father in time. Reno knew about the woman cheating on Fudo but wasn't allowed to tell him about that.

The small kid was found later (after he had lost his dad somewhere in the crowd) by Zou Yijun and a few other gang members. The former just grabbed the boy and took him with the group on their way to their next destination. The other members recognised him as Fudo's son. Back at the headquarters, he joined the gang. So, the young boy became Yijun's foster son and disciple. Yijun and his younger cousin Chun allowed him to live at their place, which probably led to Reno picking up some of their habits, not all of them positive. He started smoking and drinking early, and equally early got tattoos and piercings, but he also learnt how to defend himself and others and how to use his brains for the better.

He was around in his first year of middle school when he met his new best friend Kurihara Ikuya. The boy didn't judge him for being affiliated with thugs, and instead, the older boy asked him if the two of them wanted to form their own gang. Kurihara knew a few guys who were pretty good fighters, so he invited them along. Eventually, unlike some other middle school gangs, Harlekin was formed more on a whim. Being one of the four founding members, he was voted as Ikuya's right hand. Together, the group got into fights, committed smaller petty crimes, and would become slower but steadily.

The further their reputation grew, the more boys requested joining the gang. It took them less than a whole year to become large enough to have almost 300 members. He had become close friends with some of their fellow gangmates, as well as a handful of their allies.

Over the years, Toragari had the honours of making acquaintances with the Haitani Brothers, Hanma Shuji, Ōkami "Poltergeist" Satoru, Akutagawa "Trickster" Ayumu, and even the infamous Empress of Meguro, Baji Shinju, Kurokawa Izana, and a handful of other big shots. Among others, they're allies of the Black Dragons.

In most rotten futures - albeit unaffected by the evil Tokyo Manji Gang's actions - Harlekin turns into a yakuza clan, mostly due to multiple factors: Yijun's influence as well as their greater tendency to chase after more infamy, power and knowledge. They broadened their range of influence by engaging in all kinds of crimes, most of which led them to being blacklisted. To keep up appearances, they'd appear as salesmen for insurances or anything sponsoring sports events.

In the "perfect" Revenge future, however, Reno ends up becoming a professional MMA fighter, who is trained by and instructs others for Imaushi Wakasa and Arashi Keizou at their martial arts academy

Official Character Book:

His image colour is orange.

His dream is having as much fun as possible in his life.

The person he respects is Yijun.

The person he dislikes or fears is Serena.

He likes bets.

He dislikes boredom.

His heroic or failure story: Reno is an unbelievably bad cook. Nobody lets this man into the kitchen for something else than coffee. He would literally blow up the entire place. One time, he tried to make mac and cheese and failed miserably. Yijun had to call the firefighters to put out the blazing flames at 3 in the morning.

His favourite food is chilis.

Reno's special skill is that he can resist the burning effect of chilis even with a high amount of scoville for at least one hour.

His favourite spot is at the amusement parks.

A daily activity of a certain day (from morning till bedtime): On Saturdays, he gets up around noon, has 'breakfast', takes a bath, gets dressed, heads out to attend a gang meeting in the afternoon, comes back at an ungodly hour after going to the discotheque, drops into bed and falls asleep.

His disliked food is everything sour.

From the question "Who do you want to be your lover?", Reno is ranked number 1 from Top 3 Best Boyfriends.

From the question "Who do you want to marry?", Reno is ranked number 3 from Top 3 Husbands.

His favourite hobby is finding new thrills.

Gameplay note: Upon entering the Aimed Mode, it may appear as if the opponent's Movement SPD is slowed, but is actually just the case for the mode change animation.

Gameplay note: Aimed Shots deal purely Electro DMG once charged if the bomb isn't hit. If it is hit, however, Overloaded will be triggered, dealing the corresponding DMG to the targeted opponents.

Plunging Attack: Fires off a shower of projectiles in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact and knocking back any nearby opponents.

Relationship:

Mother: He hates his mother since he found out that she cheated on his father. Since then, he doesn't want to deal with her anymore. Their relationship was difficult from the beginning as she didn't want to have a child with her "boyfriend" Agni due to her being after him only because of his money and looks. That's the reason why Serena always was hard to Reno, going so far as abusing him whenever he talked back at her, didn't do he tasks she thought she gave him (most of them she didn't even tell him to do) - all because he had more in common with his father, consequently enraging her. She was glad when she found "support" in another man's arms, the soon-to-be-father of Reno's half-sister.

Father: Reno missed him since Agni left the family behind in the desert almost 20 years ago, and he searched for him ever since then. He was glad to be reunited with him again after moving to Fontaine. The redhead always looked up to his father and still does, yet he feels guilty that he was never allowed to tell his own father what his Serena did to Agni and him. Father and son always shared a deep bond given by genetics and their shared names. Agni felt guilty and sorry for Reno to be left behind, but he had no other choice. Now, the man wants to offset everything that happened in the past.

Adoptive father: Kusayla had picked up the lost little redhead in the desert more than ten years ago. As time passed, he trained and raised Reno in several kinds of things in Agni's place. The two of them developed a father-son-like teacher-student relationship over time, and the boy somewhen started calling him "dad" on accident, though. Reno sees in him a mentor figure and family, and he's grateful for what he has done for him.

Adoptive sister: Reno met Dehya when they were children and grew up together as some kind of siblings. He had some differences with her in the beginning, but the tensions laid quickly. Since then, they have been thick friends who always help each other out and can't get separated easily. Whenever something requires the other one's attention, they make sure to reach out to their sibling. Especially Dehya loves teasing Reno because he's absolutely terrified of her when she gets mad.

Friends: Virgil and Reno have their differences and banter here and there, but they complete each other perfectly as comrades and partners on missions. What's more, they playfully bully each other if they're not pushing each other with their silly bets.

Friends: As they are indeed of friendly terms, Furina and Reno can often be seen out, conducting shenanigans and causing chaos among the crowds of Fontaine. He's surprised that she doesn't appear to judge him for otherwise being ostracised for having been jailed in Meropide.

Friends: Since settling down in Fleuve Cendre, he has gotten particularly close with Navia, the president of the Spina di Rosula. Especially when she had offered him to work for her, he was grateful to her for giving her the opportunity for employment in things that fell among his area of expertise.

Enemies: His primary enemies are Deshret's Relics, due to them having stood against Dakan Al-Ahmar. Especially because of the Relics turning against his group, he took part in dismantling the Relics, following Dehya's request for help.

Enemies: Not enemies, but he does have a 'love-hate' sort of relationship with Wriothesley. They ended up sparring time and time again whilst Reno was serving his sentence in the Fort of Meropide. Regardless, they do have their tendency to butt heads. One might view them more as rivals.

Enemies: Not enemies either, but their relationship is a rather tough one. Neuvillette could only shake his head about having Reno on trial this often before the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale sentenced him as guilty.

Backstory:

Reno's family is quite the peculiar one, considering that his mother had fled from Natlan due to unknown circumstances, whilst his father's side of the family is just a small, unremarkable group of Eremites in the Sumerun desert. Most of them have a close relationship to each other. This includes always being there for the other family members despite they all have their differences sometimes.

Still being a couple at that time, Serena and Agni raised Reno together after he was born into the Namir family. At first, he thought that they were a normal family much like any other, but he would figure out that anything else, but that was the case. Serena had been constantly leaving her own son on the side, ranging from simply ignoring him to even verbally and physically abusing him. She also tried to push all household duties onto him and smacked him regardless of whether she had actually told him to do them or didn't.

Reno was barely six years old when his father left the tribe, promising to get him in the future. Agni had found out that his wife had been cheating on him and abusing their son, and was not even allowed to take their son with him. As Serena's "new" partner Gabriel moved in on the same day, the young boy didn't want to stay with the disloyal, mean fury of a mother any longer. Hoping to catch up with Agni, Reno charged out of their home, not even awaiting permission from the elders. The boy had known about Serena cheating on his father for the longest but had been beaten to prevent him from spilling the beans.

After having lost his dad somewhere in the endless dunes and being on the brink of dehydration a few days later, he was found by Kusayla of the Dakan Al-Ahmar. The stranger grabbed the boy and took him with his group, having recognised him as Agni's kin they were sent out to collect. Back at their hideout, he joined the Dakan Al-Ahmar, the boy becoming Kusayla's adoptive son and disciple.

Over the years, his initially tense relationship with Dehya, Kusayla's other foster child, slowly lost said tension. Eventually, they became rather close after solving up their interpersonal issues and began seeing each other as siblings. Nevertheless, whenever Dehya became angry, he'd start panicking because he never learned how to properly handle a lady's emotions.

As time passed, Reno learned how to fight using explosives besides weapons commonly used among the Eremites. Kusayla never told him until in the letter addressed to Reno after his passing, but he'd been keeping Agni updated about his son's progress on a regular basis. It turned out that the boy was agile and smart, coming up with tactics on the spot. He was soon used to help plan their raids.

With Dehya having set out as part of the Blazing Beasts, Reno also decided to go his own way. Whilst still searching for his father to tell him everything about the incidents with his mother, his path somehow led him to Fontaine.

Since he left behind his original tribe, he also never learned that he had two half-sisters he'd never meet. The only ones he considers as family to this day are Kusayla, Dehya, and Agni.

Per coincidence, he met his father again one day in Sumeru, developing their father-son relationship anew. Since having moved to Fontaine, he also found employment as mercenary in the Spina di Rosula's service at Fleuve Cendre.

ABOUT

Elliot was born into the brutal Cross pack, on the outskirts of Atlanta in Center Hill. He was raised under the iron fist of their father, who had a burning temper, and the cowering gaze of their mother, a woman who had her own host of issues to take care of, let alone her children. It wasn't an easy upbringing, and without his brother, Elliot's certain he'd never have survived. Not only did he struggle with his mental health from a young age, like his mother, but when he trigged his werewolf gene, it was even more of a struggle for the young Cross.

But as he got older, he learned to fall in line, to survive with his brother. Especially when their mother decided it was too much. After their mother's funeral, he and Hunter did what they had to do, all four of them putting an end to their father's reign. After, the pack dissolved, it was just Elliot and Hunter. He still struggled intensely with his life as a wolf, never able to find balance in his nature and, eventually, it was too much.

Almost eight months ago, in October 2023, he tried to end it all, the darkness in his head too strong for him to overcome. But Hunter, as ever, was by his side in an instant. It was Hunter who got him to Asphodel a month later, leaving behind Atlanta and everything they'd known to get to the big city.

Since starting as an attendee at Asphodel in November 2023, Elliot's come a long way. He's still got a long path ahead of him, but for the first time in years, he feels slightly less burdened, even if he still feels guilty Hunter upended his life for him. But even though Elliot doesn't necessarily believe in bigger purposes, he can't help but feel that there's a reason they came to New York. Maybe it's the fact that a half-sister they didn't know about had found her way to Asphodel shortly before him. Or the fact that there's a shifter in some of his sessions he can't get out of his head.

Either way, Elliot's adjusting slowly but surely. He's been working part time at a flower shop not far from the institute but has recently been given a low level security job as part of Anvil's team. He's not as involved in Syndicate stuff yet, but he hopes to be a support to Hunter and the others to prove he's still got something to give.

AARON SORKIN'S "WOMAN PROBLEM" AND THE NEWSROOM

After binging on The Newsroom (and loving it) created by Aaron Sorkin I got to thinking about his reputed "woman problem" when some YouTube commenter described all the female characters on the show as "twits." That's a characterization I strongly disagree with, and will show why, but also can't shake the intuitive sense that his portrayal is rightly controversial. By that I mean it is right that it should be a matter of discussion, not that it is necessarily wrong. The people holding the discussion need to decide that for themselves.

First the bald facts. Women in this drama hold power: Leona founded and still owns the company, Mackenzie is the Executive Producer of the network's flagship news program with a male second-in-command and many male staff, Sloan is the acknowledged smartest person in the company with far more lucrative prospects awaiting her should she choose them, Maggie is promoted instantly from a personal aide to an associate producer by a woman despite her youth and inexperience. Women are in leadership roles with real power that they do exercise.

In their relationships to men, the women in The Newsroom engage in give and take.

Mackenzie may look at Will like a doe-eyed schoolgirl at times but she's in love with him and is self-recriminating about previous behaviors. She isn't like that with any other male characters. Even with Will she frequently takes charge and makes him follow her direction, which he does. Mac exercises real power in her relationship with Will from episode one on. When Will doles out his "punishments" she only takes them to the degree that she believes she should. She holds the power at any time to say, "That's enough!" which she does in regards to the engagement ring. When she does that he realizes he's gone too far and changes his behavior.

Maggie coddles Don in most of the scenes we see of them and breaks up with him mostly in scenes we don't see. I'd venture to guess that the early breakups happen because the relationship has no room for her passion and she gets tired of soothing his ego to make things work. In contrast, Maggie's drawn to Jim because he awakens and allows room for her passion. Most employees who confront and yell at their bosses as much as she does with Jim would be suspended and/or fired. He lets her get away with it to a degree because he recognizes that that same passion drives her to become an excellent journalist. And because he likes her. Both are true. Every once in awhile he has to reprimand her in public to assert authority over his team or it gives permission to his other staff to behave the same way. Maggie is no shrinking violet. She is strong and self-directed and refuses to allow a man to control her. Most of her errors come from inexperience and human frailty. None of them occur because she's a woman.

Sloan clearly wears the pants in her relationship to Don which, to his surprise, he doesn't mind. Ever once in awhile, though, they switch roles or just relate as equals. Don goes from dating the young intern who part of him wants to dominate to dating the highly intelligent, self-directed professional who no man can dominate and becomes a better version of himself as a result. Sloan's errors in her first broadcast about Fukushima occur not because she is scared by Will as a man but because she's scared by him as respected professional. His gender doesn't matter to her. When Charlie yells at her about it she tells him strongly, "Do not call me 'girl,' sir!" And that's to the head of the News Division.

Leona clearly rules the roost and fights with Charlie as an equal or as a subordinate, never as a superior. They fight the way old friends do.

In no respect are women as a class portrayed as inferior or subordinate to the power of men. So why do I get that intuitive itch that there's something old-fashioned about Sorkin's writing on gender relations?

I think it's that some of the male characters in The Newsroom tend to be the carriers of logic and reasoning while the female characters tend to be the carriers of emotional expression. This isn't always true: Sloan is highly logical (while also passionate) and Charlie is highly emotional (while also reasonable) and Neal carries both in balance. It's certainly true, however, of the Jim & Maggie relationship which is intended as a reflection of the older Will & Mackenzie one. Remember how, in episode one, Mackenzie points out Maggie to Jim and tells him that she's a younger version of her before she grew into herself and got hotter with age? And why has Jim long been Mackenzie's choice for supervising producer? Could it be because he reminds her of Will? I think so. I also think it's fair to assume that Sorkin does not intend for that rational/emotional dichotomy to typify all gender relations since he gives us alternate examples. More likely it's because Sorkin is a brainy guy who prefers an emotionally expressive woman to bring balance into his life. When he writes romance it comes out of who he is, what he likes. That's how he connects to the material at a feeling level. Some viewers may prefer a flip on those traditional associations and the Don & Sloan relationship may have been his attempt to provide that. It's not where Sorkin feels at his strongest or most natural, though, so he writes what he knows.

There ARE problems with The Newsroom, though, that I think if addressed would have reduced criticism. In no way should bosses be allowed to date subordinates over whose careers they have an influence. The producers decide what stories are aired. The career of a journalist rises and falls with the number and quality of stories they get aired. Dating a subordinate in this environment is a breach of ethics and most professional workplace standards. To be fair, Maggie was first an intern then a personal aide and only became an associate producer (journalist) as Don was on his way out so it wasn't a total breach; definitely in the gray area, though. The sexual tension between Jim and Maggie, obvious to everyone (as Sloan pointed out in the finale), often broke out into open conflict. Mackenzie should have addressed this conflict as their supervisor but instead encouraged it. As Jim points out it was Mac's idea for him to get together with Maggie in the first place. Again, it was Mac's advice to Jim to "gather ye rosebuds while ye may" that led to his and Maggie's first kiss and then Jim deciding this was wrong. Mackenzie's regrets about her relationship with Will colored her judgment and led her to offer advice that may have been okay coming from a friend but was inappropriate coming from a supervisor. She could have been rightly disciplined or even fired by HR if found out. Jim does decide that he can't date a subordinate however he feels but Mac should have intervened and threatened to move one of them out if they couldn't handle the tension in a professional manner. In the series finale Jim offers the Supervising Producer position to the woman he's in love with. How is that not an HR violation? How would Maggie's career not be dogged by rumors of "sleeping her way to the top" if she accepts it?

The other thing is the way emotional conflicts between several of the characters break out into office wide battles. Talk about an unsafe working environment! I can't see how the entire management staff wasn't fired on an almost weekly basis. And when Mackenzie commends Maggie for her loyalty by saying she wouldn't complain to HR if her hair was on fire I cringed. Is that the message you want to send out in a #MeToo world?

Aaron Sorkin says he likes to write "very romantically, very idealistically." The chaos in the newsroom is intended for laughs, not to be taken as a serious reflection of a workplace. The characters are flawed and frequently do not do what they should. The lack of HR supervision is even mentioned by a character in season one so there's awareness that liberties are being taken. I don't think there's an inherent woman problem here, just a production not as sensitive as it might be to the struggles women face in the workplace. There are good reasons why "no dating" policies are in place, why it's unprofessional to carry your personal life into the workplace. Workplace comedies routinely feature HR nightmares for the sake of laughs: Brooklyn 99 is a good example. We don't take them seriously. It's the sheer intelligence of The Newsroom and the realistic setting that may make the comedy part seem more serious than it is. Personally I see the show as a kind of joyful fantasy; Sports Night without the canned laughter. If you can separate the fantastic from the realistic I think you'll find that The Newsroom is actually very empowering for women.
