kleya marki character of the century. everybody else shut the fuck up
Close enough. I love you nurses on the Tardis <3
My favorite flavor of character is the hardheaded booksmart female sidekick character but not in a "I'm not like other girls way" but in a "I understand their sensitivity and their feminity and the way they channel their trauma and the way they cope in a way no one else does and their just babies really and shouldn't be responsible for these stupid boys." And this makes me want to gatekeep them because so often in fandom spaces male characters are over glorified, over analyzed, and the female characters are there to either fight them, fuck them, or make them feel better but no one's doing that for the girls.
Examples of such characters include:
Annabeth Chase
Hermione Granger
Leia Organa
Katara
CJ Cregg
And to be clear I HAVE seen fandom spaces where these girls are given the love they deserve and some of it is definitely to the fault of their writers. ALL THAT BEING SAID, I'm really tired of seeing so many potential ways to dive into characters and watching it be ignored by the fandoms.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk
leo mcgarry character building and writikg legitimately makes me want to crawl the walls I am so insane about it actually. old man of all time
I love Challengers
Okay, but hear me out - In the movie, the sequence of the scenes where Elphaba learns about the horrific treatment of Animals and then meets Fiyero is soooo important. This transition between the two scenes highlights an emotional turning point for Elphaba. Dr. Dillamond's revelations intensify her awareness of injustice, leaving her searching for a way to act. Enter Fiyero, who not only contrasts the bleakness of the previous scene with his carefree presence but also will ultimately influence Elphaba's growth. As we know, eventually Fiyero is a foil to encourage Elphaba to transform her ideals into action, giving her the courage to make her voice heard. The scene order underscores how pivotal Fiyero's presence is in shaping Elphaba's journey from bystander to the unlimited badass she becomes later on. And Jonathan Bailey's version of Fiyero is much softer and is given a lot more space to be kind than stage!Fiyero, and I just really love how that, in contrast to the cruelty described in the previous scene just highlights the differences but also ties them together for Elphaba's story.
Me personally I think maybe Mitski wrote 90% of her discography about Annabeth Chase me personally
I am sorry but he LOVES scanning qr codes to order at a restaurant
