persona misogyny is so fucking wild. ignoring literally everything else about the entire rest of the games, every single s.link with a female character is like “entirely for having been born a woman i have had to work twice as hard for a fraction of the benefit. even now, i am stripped of my agency in a position i never wanted in the first place” and/or “i’m put on a pedestal by the people in my life because of my looks. men see me as an object to be conquered, women hate me for ‘stealing’ ‘their’ men. if i’m withdrawn i’m a bitch, if i’m friendly i’m easy. because of this, i’m alone” and/or “because of my personality or hobby or lack of cooking skills, i feel like i’m failing at femininity. if being a woman is something i can fail at, then where does that leave me? i’m scared at the loss of my identity and place in society”
like very consistently they present female characters with complex thoughts towards their place in society as women, femininity as a whole, and facing issues stemming from misogyny, and then the payoff is always “my problems were entirely my own fault. i wasn’t strong enough, i was a coward. but now, i’m gonna work hard to be exactly what society expects me to be (which is what i want to be)! i’m gonna do better at femininity (which is still something tangible i can fail at)! i’m going to try hard at making friends (which was my fault for not doing)! all my problems are solved through personal responsibility (that im totally culpable for), effort (which i previously was not putting in), or you, a man! i am Happy and Satisfied with this outcome, can i be Your woman?”
and like hello? why are we here. what the fuck are we doing. why do we keep doing this every single time. can we not do the constant lukewarm attempts at criticizing misogyny so you can jerk off to your own thoughtfulness, while ultimately reinforcing patriarchal systems and brushing off any deeper misogyny-bred issues as a lack of deference to one’s rightful place in society? like maybe don’t do that? for fucking once? just an idea

Netflix can try to say that Sonic Prime has multiple short seasons all it wants, but I know the truth in my heart of hearts that this was meant to be a single 24-episode season that airs weekly

Donnie is wiping his hands on a rag when you catch sight of him. Covered in grease, wearing that fucking tank top, with those goddamn boots, and- oh God, he's looking your way. Oh God, okay, don't panic.
A thick eyebrow raises, and he stalks toward you with a smirk that makes your heart flutter.
“Back again?”
You nod. Smile. Try to look at him without your eyes straying to the smudge of grease on his neck, try to talk without fumbling your words. “It's making a weird sound again. Mind taking a look?”
He hums, tucking the rag into his back pocket before stepping closer. Close enough that you have to crane your neck back to keep looking at his face. Close enough that the strong smell of motor oil and sweat makes you feel a little lightheaded. You swallow, and you swear his smirk gets a little sharper.
“Anything for my favorite customer,” he murmurs. You feel your eyes widen, and when he winks at you a blush creeps across your face. Donnie tilts his head, eyes going a little dark. “Come on, pretty girl. Let's get you taken care of.”
CLERRIIIICCC?!??!?!?!?
UNPROVOKED?!?!??????
IM COMBUSTING???? IMMOLATING. DUST. REQDY FOR THE BUGS TO TAKE ME AWAY RAAAAAHHHHHHH

so many complaints about characters in c3 “not talking” could be resolved by remembering how much time has actually passed in canon. the last 4.75 episodes took place over a singular day. shardgate was three days ago. it’s that simple.
