what's a woman with nothing left to lose?

day 9: it's time for crime ♡

(prompt list for femslashfeb)

I lost Too Much in round 3 of @hotvintagepoll (Olivia de Havilland! BETTE DAVIS!) and will in consequence plan to vote early and be maximally obnoxious in support of my preferred Hot Vintage Ladies from now on.

To all my followers: I am sorry; you are welcome; you have been warned. To my fellow disappointed voters: do you want to cry and rewatch The Letter about it?

well, a lot of women on this website have tangible experiences of living as men previously. i think it's normal for them to project transfemininity onto male characters sometimes. like i get what you're saying , people absolutely slap "she's trans" on a male character without introspection, but i think its pretty normal & reasonable for trans girls to see transfeminine experience in characters written to be men. like, trans girls dont just spawn out of nowhere midway through our transition :P

you’re so right and thank you for saying this kindly.

the world is so fucked up and i can't help but think the damage is irreparable when i see people talking about how unusual and prudish it is to wait six to ten dates before having sex with someone. ten dates??? roughly like twenty five hours of interaction????? ten old timer burgers and mango iced teas from chilis equals sex?????? the possibility of pregnancy, STDs, emotional devastation, lifelong consequences, not to mention just straight up the possibility of getting murdered, with a STRANGER you have hung out with for maybe like two months???? and that's a LONG TIME???? and if you feel weird about that and don't want to do that that makes you NOT HETEROSEXUAL????? THATS AN ORIENTATION???? BECAUSE ITS SO OUTSIDE OF THE NORM OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR ????? i hate all of you i hate you i hate you i hate you every day i hate and I hate and I hate you

My mom on her way to lecture me about being racist AND ageist because i dont want my sister talking and flirting with a 26 year old (shes 15)

I think it's real obvious that if you actually like Colin you don't belong in the Polin fandom. y'all are all so ableist about him and think the absolute worst of him and a huge number of the posts and fics are romanticizing Penelope straight up abusing him

we should make a new tag because this one is NOT it

nika & romance

thinking abt that alia + romance thing @lavampira did and as it would seem that today is nika romance day (since it's all i can think about) so i'm taking inspo, i hope you don't mind <3

silvairre

minor crush back when he was in gridania. nothing truly exceptional. they're not really in contact anymore, although they bump shoulders sometimes.

minfilia

first love. when nika first joined the scions, he was largely aimless, aside from wanting new materials for his songs; minfilia gave him a sense of purpose, even if the key part - part where he too deeply cares for eorzea and does this out of selflessness - didn't really show up. they became friends, and eventually nika fell in love, though minfilia never really returned his feelings. instead, he was glad to simply serve wherever she sent him, and that was enough. her happiness was enough. unfortunately, by the end, nika started feeling used, yet nurtured his love for her for long enough to swallow his feelings on the matter.

his feelings may have even become more intense simply because he knew, deep down, that he had no chances with her. he never tried anything, never bothered her about it, it just floated unresolved for years before her death. she's still a sore spot, and he isn't really sure whether he will ever entirely finish grieving for her, even if he allows himself some measure of anger she left behind. but hey, what is grief if not love persevering? there is no world in which nika does not love minfilia, in whatever capacity.

lyse

a small crush that would have been if there wasn't artoirel. a love that would've gone very sour, very quickly. best left at a single hookup.

artoirel

another case of nika catching feelings for someone he can't, initially, have. nika's equal in a lot of respects; honest to a fault, not very nice, competent yet reserved. nika doesn't begrudge artoirel for trying to get him killed at first. there's a lot of ease in accepting each other, faults and good qualities, between them. artoirel, thus, began to feel like a certain safety. they bonded greatly over their shared love of music and their shared grief for haurchefant. artoirel doesn't ask anything of nika the same way minfilia did, nor does nika himself look for a superior, even though artoirel outranks him by far. to him, artoirel's rank isn't something that matters all that much, just as nika's status as the warrior of light doesn't matter to artoirel after a while.

instead, what they end up being for each other is a partner and an equal, because brothers doesn't quite cut it. it's the one place in this star where nika doesn't have to be the warrior of light, where he can simply be himself, and vice versa, where artoirel isn't the count de fortemps. they're just two guys of equal yet opposite vibes, and at some point, they allied to try and make sense of their respective lots in life. sense is nowhere in sight, but they're too bound together to undo that alliance now. at least they have each other's company on the road.

i know hoyo is setting up rhine to have good intent and whatever in her trying to 'save' khaneri'ah or whatever; but i REALLY hope they stay with the cruel persona thats been built up for her. because it would be so wonderful to see a character who had good intent in the beginning just get absolutely corrupted; with the inability to ever go back to that prior state purely because of what had happened. also because there is NO way in her turning back after all that shit

care to tell us more about your newest star wars oc? she’s so pretty your designs are always so awesome!/gen

thank you!! her name's muneeba nafti and she's a Jedi Master who survived the purge (though part of her right hand was shot off). I honestly have so much lore on her I'm not sure what to share exactly, but a brief overview: she had a padawan prior to the Clone Wars and ended up fighting in the Outer Rim during the conflict. she was close friends with another oc of mine, a senator from Troithe, and became disillusioned with the republic when he was assassinated, then bitter after the Purge where she lost her former master and padawan. she's a captain in the intelligence branch of the rebellion and she works closely with independent cells such as saw gerrera's partisans. at some point, she kills an inquisitor on abrion major

(she also has a thing with the queen of shurrupak that's kinda on and off)

Wait…

Its the women day and nobody told me

I RUSHED DOING THAT DRAWING

Bitter belongs to me

i just realized that they are pink and a healer

PINK DIAMOND SANS ???!!!

Almost three years after entering the hphm fandom, having experienced other fandoms before and after, the community here (and a bit on reddit) still remains the nicest and most respectful fandom I've been on

“how could you love her? she’s such a mean character” THAT IS THE POINT!!

sometimes you read something for a fandom you were crazy over years ago and you encounter one of the ships you loved back then and you just think “yeahhhh…. this is still great :) way to go younger me you were so based about this actually :)”

listen maybe this my lesbian brain speaking here but i cannot physically image creating two female characters with such clear parallels to one another and not make them queer?? this isn’t specifically about wenclair, but like here’s the thing—a girl so devoid of happiness and sunshine comes across the literal embodiment of happiness and sunshine. what do you think is gonna happen here? like it’s basic math. why are you adding random one-dimensional male characters to act as ‘boyfriend’? here’s something surprising—men don’t always have to be apart of the narrative!

I'm also really just obsessed with the idea that you're given the option to hit on women harry finds attractive despite astronomically low odds of success (as its something harry even thinks to do) and it takes him like 4 hours to come up with feminism and even then it's performative and imperfect like obviously he's weird about women
