Girls Doing Stuff: Agency and motivation in girls’ hobby shows

I like to think I have a fairly varied palette when it comes to my anime tastes: a genre charcuterie board with some fantasy here, some meaningful coming-of-age stories there, and a peppering of rom-coms seasoned just right. There’s one category, though, that I always find myself savoring and looking forward to each season. If there’s a cast of funny teen girls trying out a new hobby, be it animation, camping, playing guitar, or building a treehouse, I’m there. But why does this genre have such a gravitational pull? I could answer, simply and truthfully, that we live in stressful times and these shows are often very relaxing. But upon deeper consideration, there’s something else about these girls’ hobby shows that makes my heart happy, and it’s happening more on the level of character construction and development.  

The “girls doing stuff” genre can be polarizing. What reads as an intimate, authentic portrayal of teen girls’ inner worlds to some may seem voyeuristic to others; a character may come off as an over-the-top, manufactured cutesy-blob to one viewer but feel deeply relatable and real to another. And, of course, some people find these series’ characteristic low stakes, slow pace, and focus on small moments relaxing while other people find them simply boring.

I am not attempting to make any “objective” claims with this article. I cannot scientifically quantify the appeal of the girls’ hobby genre for everyone, I can only speak to how and why it appeals to me. And that appeal, I argue, lies in the narrative priorities of these types of show: they are stories about young women with specific passions and motivations, given the autonomy to pursue them. It sounds simple, and it is, but it’s also extremely rewarding and effective when it’s done well.

I know, yakunara mug cup mo is an anime to promote tourism in the city Tijimi but, really, hear me out, it's a crime to show something like Himeno's mother sculpture and it simply doesn't exist. Please, someone do it so I can be a perfect slave to propaganda and go to Tijimi and see it

"I bet it was the martini that blew your cover." "You can judge my drinking habits after you got me out of here, Djarin!"

I've seen one (1) James Bond movie my entire life back when 00Q was a whole thing on this hellsite, but I'm ready to die on the hill that Din would make a great Q who knows how to work in the field and can poke at gadgets just fine, but also gets very passive agressive when he has to work overtime - he asked for the office job because his kid is going to school and they are working on building a normal-adjacent nighttime routine, which is very difficult when the agent he's working with cannot stick to a plan.

For the Spies/Assassins square on my Bobadin AU bingo for @bobadinweek

(I've seen all the John Wick movies though, so if Boba's pose is familiar, that is why)

#bobadin #boba x din #din djarin #boba fett #the mandalorian fanart #tbobf fanart #boba/din #my art #bobadinaubingo #I have no idea what's going on in this AU but I want that snoozing mudhorn mug from Din's desk #I should make that a thing maybe #this got a little away from me but let's just blame it on my cold meds working yeah? #I dunno man I've circled through like 6 half baked ideas for this AU prompt one more disastrous than the other #and then settled on this stupid thing where I put way too much effort into my background as I listened to way too many video essays #I really like this silly thing tho especially din in his silly dorky getup #boba gets to be the cool one in his green suit/tux/whatever #I'm getting better at drawing blasters #only the FREE square to go!!! and I'm naturally pulling a blank for what AU to pick D:

#it's me i'm the wind blowing #y'all things are a little more complicated when it comes to these two #(sits down and takes a sip from my dark blue coffee mug) #(thinks: i wish i had springtrap coffee mug) #so... #both of them have difficult pasts #both are parents trying their best on raising their children #THE THING IS #one can't let herself get too attached #while the other is still afraid all humans are the same #but at the same time. they just want to find peace and happiness #and they've found it at home #they found happiness living those very brief and mundane moments #like waking up every morning #having breakfast next to people that make you smile #making your way to school/work and seeing sunlight pass through the trees #and going home after a tough day and there are rain clouds approaching. you just know you're going to sleep well at night #this is how they heal. and in the mean time. let themselves open up to each other #I have a feeling this is gonna be a slow burn kinda thing #COUGHING REALLY HARD #ENDING THIS RIGHT HERE OKAY BYE #starbstalks #springdad au

thinking about 4play universe roommate!matsuhana...

#makki definitely knows where u keep your vibe and asks if he can use it on you (or watch you use it on yourself) #mattsun is sooooooooooo touchy especially in the mornings #shuffles out while you're making your coffee in the kitchen #wearing sweatpants but no shirt #drapes himself over you while you stir milk into the mug and he is still sooooooo warm from being in bed #nosing at your temple while he rasps out 'g'mornin' and asks you to make his coffee too (because it 'always tastes better') #HE'S HALF HARD BUT YOU PRETEND NOT TO NOTICE just let him keep lowkey feeling you up and act like it's normal #and it IS kind of normal now after all this time

playing stickers time 🤎🌟

#this is my photocard book :] #i have all these stickers that don’t really match my vibe + having a photocard book isn’t really my vibe to begin w either (I just had too #many ladies to put in that happy bear mug which is where I was putting them originally) #so I decided to get a small one so I was like well.. I do appreciate pink from afar so let’s make it a specific aes #m

[andragoras-in-vanity]

i got a new mug and a face mask today, i am so tired but lets call it self care and not what it is (poor spending habits while unemployed).

#winnie the pooh #agender #glasses #sorry #fibro #cfs #find the little things and let them make you happy cause everything else...is..exhausting. #i needed this and we should all just be glad i didnt get the other mug too okay #but also when i hold it in my left hand as i usually do #tigger is visible and that makes me so happy he was always my favourite yes i cried during the christopher robin movie #when he bounced out and started singing his little tigger song #bawled like a baby and got made fun of for it ON MY BIRTHDAY IT CAME OUT ON MY BIRTHDAY AND THEY WERE STILL MEAN TO ME OVER IT #but my skin feels so nice rn #its so soft and smooth and not super dry rn #i feel amazing and i wish i could afford this all the time

I had to jump on this soon as I seen the trend because it fits this story too well, it just takes me a minute to get artwork out. 😅 (Also click on them to get the best detail, they are big images) First sketching Eb out I laughed then felt bad because, well, getting accessorized is in a realm of possibility. >.>'

One has zero concern, has been through this at least a dozen times and always manages to evade it. The other one is in a state of shock, has no idea what's going on or why he's here, and is one hard stare away from crying.

Someone bail him out and hug him please.

Also I referenced early Victorian mug shots for this for accuracy which is why it looks different. I found some dooseys. XD They had them hold chalk boards.

#Francis looks like the cat who ate the canary #police be like “There's no way he did not know. No one can be that ignorant.” #Yes. Yes they can. #They would let him go when they realized this and make him take another mug shot to the writing “Guilty of being a daft idiot” #I also found it accidently evil Eb was booked before Francis by the number. xD #THE DATE TOO. Christmas has not been lucky for this man EVER. #scrooge a christmas carol #scroogeposting #oc francis osman #poor scrooge #barbie movie #mug shot #barbie mugshot meme #scrooge 2022 #netflix scrooge

Propaganda under cut

Natsume's Book of Friends

ongoing animanga about a boy who can see youkai, and who has not had a good childhood because of it. he moves to a new town where an older couple take him in and treat him like their own. he learns to grow as a person and become more accepting of the world and the people around him, and of himself. it's a really sweet series that makes you cry every episode and also there's a talking kitty cat it's so great

#rin my love #he’s so warm . . #silly man </3 i love him sm this is crAZYYY #he holds u there for a good minute or two #then mumbles that maYBE he will let u go if u make him a cup of coffee too . maybe. #reaches over ur head to grab a mug .. muscles straining against ur back ….. ummmmmm #i am so unwell #rin itoshi

#the flatmate i’m closest too keeps worrying about me / helping me out / being vocally sympathetic + firmly disapproving of the way i treat #myself and it’s an odd and lovely thing to have to let in. earlier when i rang 111 he was very very nice to me and made me a mug of #decaffeinated tea while i waited for the clinician to ring me back when i tell him i haven’t eaten or slept or i’m living off a red bull #or i point out how astonishingly thin someone in whatever we’re watching looks he takes on a tone i can only describe #as motherly disapproval. i apologised if i was making a fuss with the 111 thing and he very reasonably and kindly told me off #he’s so nice to me. it means a lot. i still have no idea what i’m meant to do in the face of kindness like that
