Inspirational female representation is not flawless girl-bosses. It never has been. That's another one-dimensional unattainable version of perfection same as the 50s Housewife was. We can't all be Aunt Bea or Black Widow those are caricatures of what it means to be a woman and only highlight limited aspects of femininity without character growth or nuance. Assassin is no more of a personality than cook is.
Inspirational female representation in media is women who make mistakes and are still given value even after blundering. It's Anne falling off a roof. It's Evie wrecking a whole library and nearly ending the world. It's Eowyn in a suicidal depression riding into battle with the goal of dying. It's Lizzie believing everything Wickham says about Darcy.
It's Anne learning that you shouldn't fall for a bully's bait and pride has its place and it should be kept there. It's Evie learning that maybe don't assume something is safe because sometimes it definitely isn't, whether that's ladders or big black books. It's Eowyn learning to love herself and that she doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. It's Lizzie learning not to jump to conclusions about people's character.
It's the space for mistakes and growth. These characters are loved and lovable before, during, and after their mistakes. While they learn from the mistakes they make there is no pressure that from that moment on they are perfect and do nothing else less than perfectly (the mummy sequel doesn't exist here because they made Evie into a cardboard cutout of who she had been in the first film and stripped her depth and warmth). These women are allowed to fail, learn, and grow. They are also some of the most resonant characters in the history of women in literature and film. Who here consumed the media where they are represented and didn't feel akin to at least one of them in some way?

The Unwritten/Night In The Woods
"So fuck the truth. We dont know where it is, and we probably won’t know it when we see it. She just chose the story she needs right now. The story that keeps her standing. That's probably all any of us get to do./Um, so like, the constellations, I don't believe there's a whale out there, but I, uh, believe the stars exist and that people put the whale up there. Like, I dunno, we're good at drawing lines through the space between stars. Like we're pattern finders, and we'll find patterns, and we like really put our hearts and minds into it even if we don't mean to. So I believe in a universe that doesn't care and people who do”

A Fine Team Of dramatic disasters Paranormal Investigators
You ever see a meme that represent your OCs so good you have to draw it? This one was perfect for this squad!
These disasters are my & @thecrimsonvalley-creates's Call of Cthulhu RPG OCs. The universe expanded in a way we didn't expect and They. Are. Thriving.
From left to right:
Lizbeth: a cheerful and peppy wildcard who enjoys throwing one too much molotov cocktails and hates paperwork with a passion.
Beatrice: a semi-functioning grump, constantly tired because she's awoken by spirits and entities at odd hours of the night.
And Gabriel: as much as a wildcard as Lizzy, a snarkass and kind of a dick, who has fucked himself both in and out of situations.
#draw the squad meme#call of cthulhu#-ish#like it's a fine mix of homebrewed tabletopping and text-based RPG#Blythe & Associates#(<- that will be the tag for this general universe/these characters btw)#original characters#rpg#fun fact : they're all gay#fun fact number 2: Lizzy and Bea are a couple#the universe is a pseudo-beginning of the 20th century Europe#like ''''pseudo'''' as it has mixes of technology from the era and magical things.. and fashion is all over the place#but most importantly#eldritch bullshit!#Lizbeth Duffy#Beatrice Blythe#Gabriel Chevallier

So after the new dlc came out I added her to my au and her and Gregory end up being in their own animatronic groups
My rambling about my second chance au down below ⬇️ but feel free to send me questions about this au if anything confuses you or if you’re curious about it, please I would love to ramble about it also the read more thing is acting bugging so yeah….
Sorry about the long block of text but basically in this au Gregory (who’s 5) and Ally (who’s 10) are both orphans from the same orphanage and view each as siblings. One day the orphanage gets to take the kids to the pizzaplex, which is a publicity stunt by fazbear entertainment to look better. Around the end of the trip (so around closing time) Gregory wanders away from everyone cuz he saw something shiny only to get jumped by Vanny (this happens before Malhare takes full control over her). Ally notices that Gregory is gone, goes to look for him, ends up hearing him screaming, and finds Vanny trying to drag him into an employee only area to be further out of sight. She grabs a nearby object and throws it at Vanny to distract her and yells at Gregory to run, he hesitates for a second not wanting to leave her with the scary bunny lady but runs off after Ally yells at him a second time. Due to him hesitating he doesn’t make it to the doors before they locked so he ends up crying which catches the attention of Bea, Lyric, and Payton (glam Freddy and he’s not in the drawing for a reason). The 3 animatronics manage to calm him down and get him to explain why he’s crying, after learning about what happened they decide to help Gregory in finding his sister and getting them out. Now back with Ally, she manages to get away from Vanny and ends up hiding in one of the restaurant areas. She immediately runs into Ferris who was talking to Lizzie (oh yeah these two and basically everyone else who aren’t in sb originally are there because what happens in the first half of the au), they get her to calm down and have her explain what got her all frazzled. Ferris decides to help her and drags Lizzie into helping too, now the 2 kids and their new animatronic buddies are searching for a way out, evading murderous animatronics, all while not knowing if the other is okay at least until a certain “animatronic” helps with that
#fnaf#fnaf secruity breach#fnaf au#lefty fnaf#bon bon fnaf#gregory fnaf#scrap baby#fixed scrap baby#molten freddy#fixed molten Freddy#fnaf dlc girl#w!lyric#w!bea#w!gregory#w!lizzie#w!ally#w!ferris#second chance au#traditional drawings#wooo I finally explained the plot of this au!#well at least the second half of it

WIP Wednesday
Thanks to @anincompletelist for the tag! I didn't have anything prepared to share this week and was panicking about it, and Beas offered to give me a number for me to write a few sentences from whichever WIP that number corresponded to on my list, and of COURSE she accidentally picked the fully epistolary one aka rockstar Alex exes to lovers. The fully coded/skinned version with images is under the cut for maximum effect/fun, or here's the text on its own:
TWITTER THREAD:
Likely candidates for the topic of ACD’s #TheLakeHouseAlbum, a (mostly ordered) thread:
1/? Nora Holleran: I know they’re on record as being just friends but they’re SO FUCKING FLIRTY… I don’t know, something about the way they interact with each other makes my spidey senses tingle. Though them both being back on the market WOULD be a win for bisexuals everywhere.
Evidence in favour: lyrics about losing your best friend and partner in one fell swoop, Deuxmoi stories a couple of years ago about the two of them going to a hotel together + reports of loud sex noises.
Evidence against: See last tweet re: repeatedly on record as just friends.
47/? Henry Fox: It’s weirdly hard to find pics of them together, even at events we KNOW they were both at; kinda suspicious. Both gorgeous, queer, creatively talented men (if you’re not familiar with Henry Fox’s books, start with Looking For Orion; I cried for three days).
Evidence in favour: all the refs to distance could be literal not metaphorical (Henry’s UK-based), a ton of literary allusions that overlap with ones Henry’s used in his books.<br>
Evidence against: There were rumours of a feud a few years ago (vigorously denied by both teams).
69/69 ACD’s guitar: Okay you KNOW I couldn’t leave the thread on 68 but I think there might be some merit to this. The pics ACD puts on insta of his guitar are framed and shot with more love than the pics my girlfriend takes of me. (For legal reasons this is a joke.)
Wasn’t expecting this thread to blow up, so a disclaimer: this is all in good fun and I don’t know any of these people. But this album is stunning and raw and heartbreaking and not to get all parasocial about it but I really do hope ACD is okay ❤️

A wild Beas emerges from her hibernation bleary eyed and blinking as the winter turns to early spring the trees whisper, “where you been loca,” and all is well.
TIS BEEN A MONTH BUT I AM BACK ~ in the world of Beas, did a big thing at work, learned to ski, celebrated another year around the sun, hit a big ao3 milestone, had the worst writers block the first quarter of the year, got stressy and depressy with the winter, and now … and now SPRING HAS ARRIVED AND I AM LIKE A PLANT EMERGING FROM THE SOIL, here and hopefully ready to be perceived again.
Sharing not one snippet but TWO to come back in style ;)))
Little Drummerboy
The language is crude, but his filter is decimated by the truth universally acknowledged that he is a man in want of being wanted one fucking time in his life without everyone leaving him. He doesn’t think that is too much to ask, but the universe has never been so kind as to give him human connection that wasn’t fraught with disaster every step of the way.
To be known by the masses but to never be known wholly. To have those screaming his praises in the hundreds of thousands, but nobody to hold him at night when the shivers wrack his body and the demons come out to play.
The Kiss List
It is an undisputed fact of life on the Georgetown campus that Alex Claremont Diaz has a pair of lips and he knows exactly how to use them. Henry Fox, the ex-facto roommate extraordinaire of the “most kissable lips on campus” is entirely aware of just how good of a kisser Alex is. Not through any experience of his own as much as he hates to say it. No.
Alex, his dear, sweet, delusional roommate of three years, has a kiss list. A color coded rank and file excel sheet with coding more complex than what it took to get the first mission to mars up and running. Henry can’t pretend to understand it when Alex comes back into the room giddy as all get out and pulls up the file. He has had a shotgun seat to the rollercoaster that has been Alex’s kissing conundrum over the last few semesters on campus.
Thank you to all of the insanely talented people who have tagged me this past month while I’ve not been around … your tags and enthusiasm for writing has fueled me through my hibernation, I will be catching up and back-reading just you wait ;)))

Happy Wednesday! Thanks to @firenati0n, @thesleepyskipper, @myheartalivewrites, and @priincebutt for the tags. ❤️
This week and next are extremely busy for me, so I haven't had a ton of mental energy to write, but I did get a little bit down this weekend. Here's a piece from the same WIP I shared last week:
After a moment, Henry asks, "How have you been?" politely enough despite his voice cracking around it. "How's June?"
"June is killing it, obviously," Alex says, but doesn't elaborate.
He does not tell Henry that June found a way to write about issues that matter despite (maybe even enriched by) her status as a former First Daughter, writing news and lifestyle pieces for Teen Vogue. He also doesn't mention that her status as a style icon has only increased in the years since.
Alex also decidedly ignores Henry's first question. If he'd really cared to know, he could've called— texted, even, sent an email, a smoke signal, anything—at any point over the last half-a-decade.
Instead, he volleys: "How's Bea?"
Tagging some lovelies under the cut. If you have not been tagged and you want to be, consider this your tag!

Calling All Sims!
It's 1890 and in the small town of Brindleton Bay, Maine, USA, the fifteen year old Bea Dooley sits in her bedroom writing in her diary, fantasizing about the 18 year old fisherman she met in town that weekend. He had kissed her hand. He had treated her like an adult. Mama and Father saw her as the baby, only superceded by her little brother Henry. All her older siblings were grown and out of the house. Her eldest sister, Clara married. Her sister Lizzie and brother Jesse are both off in Britechester attending University, just a 1 hour train ride today. Father makes the journey every morning and evening as he is a well paid administrator at the University. Mama only cares about clothes and the latest fashions. She sees Bea as her own accessory, not her own person.
So Bea pines away, with only her journal to help her through the times...
Looking for sims to populate this save, would love lots of CC and looking historical. Will your sim be the handsome man, Mister Finch, a young fisherman, who has swept young Bea away? Or will your sim be her best friend as she experiences this world? Where in the Simverse will Bea and her mysterious fisherman end up? Chesnut Ridge to run a farm? Will it be Britechester where the two get an education before starting a family? Will they live for the hustle and bustle of San Myshuno?
Join the Legacy! Deadline is October 16th!

“Roos.”
“What.”
She smiles sweetly “Baby, you are pouting.” she wraps her hand around his, interlacing their fingers together. He tries to focus on her, specifically her, and her pretty flowery summer dress—fuck he loved that dress,maybe if he pulled her to the side, lifted her skirt and – “Roos.” she tries again, smiling sweetly at him, ‘Baby,are we going inside?”
Oh,right,his reunion.
Rooster blinked, snapping out of his thoughts as he focused on Beatrice's words. He smiled sheepishly, feeling a flush of embarrassment creeping up his neck. "Sorry, babe," he murmured, squeezing her hand gently, "Got lost in my head for a moment there."
Beatrice chuckled softly, her eyes sparkling with amusement as she leaned in to press a tender kiss to Rooster's cheek. "It's okay," she reassured him, her voice warm and gentle, "Just don't wander off too far without me, okay?"
Rooster nodded, "Got it," he replied softly, his voice filled with sincerity, "I'll stick by your side, always." he then looked at the door, “...we should…probably go inside,huh?”
“If you want.”
He was still pissed off about John interrupting them- how the fuck did he even find the hotel they were staying?! “Yeah…yeah let’s get this over with.”
Beatrice nodded in agreement, ushe gently squeezed his hand, offering him a reassuring smile. "We'll make it quick," she promised, "And then we can enjoy the rest of our time together."
Rooster returned her smile gratefully, feeling a sense of warmth spread through his chest at her words. With Beatrice by his side, he knew he could handle anything, even his dreaded high school reunion.
Ugh.
As they approached the entrance to the hotel ballroom where the reunion was being held, Rooster took a deep breath, steeling himself for the inevitable onslaught of memories and faces from the past. He tightened his grip on Beatrice's hand, drawing strength from her presence as they stepped inside.
The ballroom was abuzz with activity, the air filled with laughter and chatter as old friends and classmates reunited after years apart. Rooster scanned the room, his eyes darting from one familiar face to another as he tried to navigate the crowd.
“Do you recognize anyone?” Beatrice whispered, tugging gently on his hand and nodding towards a group of people gathered near the bar. Rooster followed her gaze, frowning before licking his lips.
He spent a while scanning the crowd, “Some of them.” he mutters, “Come on, let’s just…walk around a bit and–”
“Hello!I am Andrea! I’m the one responsible for the reun–” a blonde woman blinks “Brad?! Is that you?”
He blinks, holding Bea to his side - bless his wife, she offered the woman a tiny wave…he had no idea who she was. “Um…Yes.” he pauses “...yes and uh…this is my wife,Beatrice.” more sweet smiling from her as the blonde woman - who was heavily pregnant,my god- sets the notebook aside, smiling at him.
“I can’t believe it! It’s been so long!”
Rooster forced a polite smile, his mind racing as he tried to place the woman's face. "Yeah, it's been a while," he replied diplomatically, "Nice to see you again, Andrea."
Andrea beamed at Rooster and Beatrice, her eyes shining with excitement as she extended her hand to shake theirs. "Likewise!" she exclaimed, "And congratulations on your marriage, Brad. Beatrice, you're a lucky woman!"
Beatrice smiled graciously, her cheeks flushing with a hint of embarrassment at the attention. "Thank you," she replied warmly, "I feel very lucky indeed."
Andrea chuckled, her hand resting on her baby bump as she glanced between Rooster and Beatrice. "So, how have you been? What have you been up to since high school?"
“Uh,goog,good," Rooster replied with a smile, "After high school, I enlisted in the military and I am still serving.”
‘Oh really?”
“Yes,Navy.” he smiles “Navy Pilot, that is.”
Andrea smiles,playfully swatting his arm as she propped her hands on her hips “You– I always knew you would.”
He still did not remember her.
Rooster chuckled awkwardly, trying to play along with Andrea's enthusiasm despite the fact that he had no recollection of her. He glanced over at Beatrice, silently pleading for her help, but she simply smiled politely, leaving him to navigate the conversation on his own.
"Yeah, it's been quite the journey," he replied vaguely, "But I'm grateful for the experiences I've had in the Navy."
Andrea nodded enthusiastically, her eyes shining. "That's so impressive," she gushed, "I always knew you were destined for great things, Brad."
Rooster shifted uncomfortably under Andrea's praise. He racked his brain, trying to remember if they had any classes together or if they had ever crossed paths outside of school, but nothing came to mind.“Ah, well…” he clears his throat, “What about you, Andrea? What have you been up to since high school?”
Andrea's smile widened slightly at Rooster's question, "Oh, you know," she replied with a shrug, "Just living life, trying to make the most of it."
"Well, it's great to see you doing well," he said sincerely, "And congratulations on the baby. That's very exciting."
Andrea's smile brightened at Rooster's words, her eyes sparkling with gratitude. "Thank you," she replied warmly, "Baby number five!”
Both him and Bea blinked, “...five?” they said together.
Andrea nodded proudly, her hand resting protectively on her baby bump. "Yes, five," she confirmed with a laugh, "It's a full house, but we wouldn't have it any other way."
Rooster and Beatrice exchanged a surprised glance, marveling at the sheer number of children Andrea had. "That's amazing," Beatrice exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine admiration, "You must have your hands full."
Andrea chuckled, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "You could say that," she replied with a grin, "But it's all worth it. There's nothing quite like being a parent."
Rooster nodded in agreement, feeling a sense of respect for Andrea's dedication to her family. "Absolutely," he agreed, "We have three of our own."
Andrea smiled warmly at Rooster's words, “Truly?”
“Yes,” he smiles and this time it felt better to do so “They are all back in California though, staying with a relative of mine.” he noticed Andrea was waiting for him to continue, “Oh uh, two girls and one boy.’
“Oh! How lovely!” She then turns to Bea “You must be an amazing mom!”
Beatrice blushed at Andrea's compliment, her smile growing wider as she nodded in gratitude. "Thank you," she replied sincerely, "I try my best. Being a parent is the most rewarding experience."
Andrea nodded in agreement, her expression softening with understanding. "I couldn't agree more," she said warmly, "It's challenging at times, but it's also incredibly fulfilling."
Andrea shared stories about her children, laughing as she recounted the chaos of raising a large family. Rooster listened intently, despite not remembering much about their past together.
Before long, other guests began to arrive, and he was relieved when Andrea excused herself to greet other guests, giving them a chance to catch their breath.
"Wow, that was intense," Rooster muttered, running a hand through his hair as he glanced around the crowded room. Beatrice nodded in agreement, her cheeks flushed from the excitement.
"Yeah, but it was nice meeting Andrea," she said with a smile, "She seems like a sweet person."
Rooster nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I agree," he replied, "I just wish I could remember more about her. She seems to know a lot about me."
Beatrice shrugged, her expression thoughtful. "It's okay," she reassured him, "Not everyone leaves a lasting impression, especially after so many years. The important thing is that she was one of the first ones to be nice to you.” she looks around “Do you recognize anyone else? There’s more people around.”
Rooster scanned the room, recognizing a few familiar faces from high school but unable to recall many details about them. He pointed out a couple of people to Beatrice, mentioning their names and a brief memory or two, but his recollections were hazy at best.
"Yeah, I think I remember him," Rooster said, nodding towards a tall guy with a beard. "I think his name is Mike. We used to hang out sometimes…I think."
Beatrice smiled, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "That's great, babe," she replied, squeezing Rooster's hand reassuringly. "It's nice to see some familiar faces, even if you can't remember everything about them."
He glanced around the room once more, taking in the diverse array of people gathered together to celebrate their high school reunion.
"It's crazy how much has changed since high school," one of their classmates remarked, shaking his head in disbelief. "But it's also nice to see how far we've all come." he hears someone say from afar, and he frowns…he knew that voice.
He looks back at the person and he freezes “Holy shit.”
“What?’ Bea asks.
“...holy shit that’s Jason.”
She blinked, “Your friend?”
And Rooster…doesn’t know what to respond, “Used to,I guess. We fought,back then…I never apologized. I was just—my mom and everything,you know…I…”
“Oh.”Beatrice squeezed Rooster's hand,she could feel the tension radiating off him, the weight of unresolved issues hanging in the air between them."It's okay, Roos," she murmured softly, "We all have things we wish we could change from our past. Maybe this is your chance to make amends."
Rooster nodded, his jaw clenched as he watched Jason from across the room. Memories of their friendship and subsequent falling out flooded his mind, each one a painful reminder of his past mistakes.
"I should go talk to him," Rooster said finally, "I need to set things right."
Beatrice nodded in agreement, her heart swelling with pride. "I'll be right here," she assured him, giving his hand a reassuring squeeze, "You've got this."
Rooster took a deep breath, steeling himself for the conversation ahead. He made his way through the crowd, his eyes fixed on Jason's familiar figure as he approached.
"Hey, Jason," Rooster said, his voice tentative as he tapped him on the shoulder, "It's been a while."
Jason turned around, his expression guarded as he sized up Bradley. There was a moment of tense silence between them, the weight of their shared history hanging heavy in the air.
"Brad," Jason replied coolly, his tone guarded, "Long time no see."
Rooster swallowed hard, feeling a lump form in his throat as he struggled to find the right words. "Listen, Jason," he began, his voice shaky with emotion, "I wanted to...I'm sorry. For everything."
Jason's expression softened slightly at Rooster's apology, his guard starting to lower as he listened to the sincerity in his voice. "Yeah, well," he said gruffly, "Apology accepted, man, I know you were going through a lot."
“Still.”
“Ah,relax.” he smirks, then gives the pilot a look,arching his brow, “Damn,what have you been eating? You are sturdy,dude.”
Rooster chuckled at Jason's comment, feeling a sense of relief wash over him at his friend's surprisingly casual response. "Thanks, man," he replied with a small smile, "I've been...taking care of myself, I guess."
Jason nodded in understanding, his expression softening as he looked at Rooster. "I'm glad to see you doing well," he said sincerely, "You always were a tough son of a bitch."
Rooster smiled gratefully at Jason's words, feeling a sense of warmth spread through his chest. "Thanks, Jay," he murmured, "That means a lot coming from you. How have you been?"
“Oh, you know, doing alright.” he shrugs, “You here alone,man?”
Rooster shook his head, glancing back at Beatrice who was watching them from across the room. "No, actually," he replied, "I'm here with my wife, Beatrice. She's over there." He gestured towards Beatrice, a proud smile spreading across his face as he looked at her and she waved back.
Jason followed Rooster's gaze, his eyes softening as he watched Beatrice. "You two have been together long?,"
“Shit,almost seven years.” he still hadn’t looked away from Bea,”Got three kids too.”
Jason's eyebrows shot up in surprise at Rooster's revelation. "Three kids, huh? Damn, man, that's impressive," he remarked, his tone filled with genuine admiration. "You must have your hands full."
Rooster chuckled, nodding in agreement. "Yeah, it definitely keeps us busy," he admitted, "But I wouldn't trade it for anything. Being a dad is the best thing that's ever happened to me."
"I can see that," he replied, "You look happy, man. It suits you."
Rooster's smile widened at Jason's observation, feeling a swell of gratitude for his friend's support. "Thanks, Jay," he said sincerely, "I really appreciate that. And you?”
“Me? Oh,” Jason chuckles “...I…you know, kinda here and there, got one son, he’s a teenager now. Almost going to college.” Rooster blinked, trying to make the mental math in his head “Remember my old girlfriend Sara? Yeah,well,she got pregnant back in high school.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah,” Jason chuckles “We ah,we aren’t together or anything, but we had our son and…you know, he’s good.”
Rooster nodded in understanding, a sense of empathy filling his chest as he listened to Jason's story. "Sounds like you're doing a great job," he replied, "Raising a teenager on your own can't be easy."
Jason shrugged nonchalantly, though there was a hint of pride in his expression. "Yeah, it has its challenges," he admitted, "But I wouldn't trade it for anything. My son means the world to me."
"Yeah, I know what you mean," Rooster said warmly, "Kids have a way of changing your perspective on everything."
Jason nodded in agreement, his gaze drifting back to Rooster's family across the room. "Yeah, they do," he murmured, "They're everything, aren't they?"
Rooster's smile widened at Jason's words, a swell of affection filling his chest as he looked at Beatrice and their children. "Yeah, they are," he replied softly, "They're my whole world."
"Listen, Brad," Jason said suddenly, breaking the silence between them, "I'm glad we had this chance to talk. And I'm sorry for the way things ended between us."
Rooster shook his head, reaching out to clasp Jason's shoulder in a gesture of camaraderie. "Hey, it's water under the bridge," he replied warmly, "We were kids back then. We've both grown since then."
Jason nodded in agreement, a sense of relief washing over him as he felt the weight of their past disagreements lift from his shoulders. "Yeah, you're right," he admitted, "I'm just glad we can put it behind us and move forward."
Rooster smiled, feeling a sense of closure wash over him as he exchanged a final handshake with Jason. "Me too, Jay," he said sincerely, "Me too."
With that, Rooster turned and made his way back to Beatrice's side, a sense of contentment filling his chest as he wrapped his arms around her. Beatrice smiled up at him, her eyes shining with pride and affection as she looked at her husband.
"Everything okay?" she asked softly, reaching out to take Rooster's hand in hers.
Rooster nodded, a sense of peace settling over him as he looked into Beatrice's eyes. "Yeah," he replied with a smile, "Everything's perfect."
