rts game where the longer your units stay alive and the more theyre used, the more fond their voice lines are to you, their commander, until youre no longer leading an army of nameless peons in battle, youre leading an army of friends and loved ones to their possible death
So whenever i would watch movies and see The Badass Female Character fighting in various ways, something about it always bugged me. I just assumed it was internalized misogyny that made me dislike characters like black widow and Tauriel and tried to make myself like them.
Then I was rewatching Mad Max Fury Road the other day and I noticed that nothing bothered me about watching Furiosa fight and I realized the problem wasn’t watching women fight in movies that got on my nerves.
Watching the stereotypical Badass Female Character she always has these effortless moves and a cocky, sexy smirk on her face as everything is easy. Watching Furiosa, she grunted and bared her teeth. Her fighting was hard and it took effort and it hurt like fighting is supposed to. For once her fighting style wasn’t supposed to seduce the audience it was to be effective.
I wasn’t disliking these characters because they were women I was disliking that their fighting was meant to remind me they were women. High heels and shapely outfits and not showing effort or discomfort because it’s more attractive to effortlessly lift a long leather clad leg over your head rather than rugby tackle someone.
It’s the same with the Wonder Woman movie too. Fighting is hard and it takes effort, blocking bombs and bullets with a shield makes her grimace and bare her teeth with the effort it takes. She’s not flip kicking bombs she’s yelling and straining, not because she’s weak or bad at fighting but because that’s what it would be like.
I really hope we’re moving into an era of women having fighting styles designed for realism and not how hot it looks for the men in the audience.
white girls who love black dick but don’t speak on racial issues, fetishize mixed babies, and only date black men for attention are fucking disgusting
White girls who date black men while talking shit about black women and thinking it’s a fucking competition while stealing our hairstyles, looks and style are fucking disgusting

Hey Arahir! Love your writing. If you were to make Sheith mutual thirstTM list, what would Keith's top 5 for Shiro be? And vice versa with Shiro's top 5 for Keith?
gosh shiro those are some real big hands you’ve got must be really nice to j j j j ust open jars very easily huh golly
keith is probably the only person at the garrison that thought shiro’s hair was cool so shiro had to keep it that way in defiance of god and man
“shiro here are some Skin Tight clothes that exactly fit you sorry they’re All i had…” “keith they’re so tight i can’t breathe and everyone can see everything.” “oh well… that’s All i’ve got i guess there’s No Choice….”

wow he’s. just such a good pilot? i mean wow he’s so fast and smart and so good at holding the controls like wow what a firm grasp he has on those controls and his fingers are so delicate geez how interesting
intrusive thought: touch his hair touch his hair touch his hair touch his hair touch his hair t
shiro tries to figure out mathematically how it’s possible that he’s a head taller than keith but their legs are the same length and stays up until 2am drawing diagrams until matt threatens to text keith a pic if he doesn’t stop
oh no.,.. keith violence isn’t the answer… don’t toss that guy who’s twice your size across the room… oh… no… please don’t make me witness something so Violent
he had to give keith a piggy back ride at some point and has spent the last two years waking up at 4am in a cold sweat thinking about keith’s thighs wrapped around his waist
