Ppl be like “ I want an actual male gem, not just Steven.”
Jeez, it’s like having only one character
to represent your whole gender
in a group composed all of another gender
is a bit upsetting huh?
I wonder
what
that’s like
no really
can you
even imagine
what this lack of representation
MUST
FEEL
LIKE
This
post
isn’t
long
enough
none of the listed shows are named after the one female character, either
it’s actually physically impossible for me to not reblog this post.
I want to say I’ve reblogged this before, but I’m reblogging again for the brilliant addition of, “None of the listed shows are named after the one female character, either” because FUCKING THANK YOU.
mmmmmhm.
Every time I reblog this, there are new shows on the list.
Wow
it’s almost
as though
this happens
almost constantly
But normally you don’t notice, because it’s not about you.
i just realized. today. right now. that maybe the reason i am terrified to be a woman past her twenties is that i have no frame of reference for what that looks like. i am not a mother, not a wife, not going to marry soon, not relying on men to survive. i have my own goals and ambitions and i’m happy where i am; i simply have little to no media where i exist as more than a side character.
i can think of so many movies where the psyche of men at 30 are explored, developed, given extreme thought. but me and mine… we stop existing when it stops being hot. we’re sad spinsters. the crazy aunt. peripheral. never heroine. never given substance. i remember at 16 i used to pity women like me. how sad they weren’t paired up, paired off. it would be better if they were dying.
i watched legally blonde again recently. it’s a good movie. i’m not a pretty white blonde straight woman. oh well. at least she’s vaguely like me.
A werewolf film written by a woman wouldn’t be as interesting because they know how unrealistic it is to be caught by surprise by something that happens regularly every damn month.
And then there’s that werewolf who goes three full moons without transforming, then transforms one night during a waxing crescent moon.
Now I’m imagining some on the werewolf form of the pill and having to regularly keep up their schedule and one werewolf telling another that they used to have such irregular changes but the pill now makes things so much easier and the other werewolves being like oh man I should talk to my doctor about this.
All i imagined is some poor fucker that’s like “you think you have it bad. I got my first change at 9 and change sporadically every 4 months or so. For 2 weeks. Sometimes it happens randomly so i just gave up.”
Wake up pissed and agitated with a headache and slam some aspirin with no real thought to the matter because it must just be a shit day. Halfway through the day they just “…oh shit that explains so much fuck fuck fuck”

I don’t usually reblog stuff, but this is just golden.
