Kaizoku Oujo // Episode 8

“don’t reduce this female character down to a love interest” does not translate into “this female character shouldn’t have a love interest.”

preventing female characters with strong, compelling narratives from experiencing love, intimacy, and affection is just as regressive as reducing them down to sexual accessories for male characters. it assumes that women must choose between a romantic interest and depth of character and ignores a far more productive message: that women are capable of possessing both.

The pros and cons of dating an archangel, a list by Penryn Young

Pros: FLYING He’s shirtless 90% of the time Have I mentioned he looks like an Adonis I get to laugh at all the things he doesn’t understand But really have I mentioned his abs Actually capable of putting up with my sass Isn’t freaked out by my mom calling him “Satan”

Cons: My mom calls him “Satan” on a regular basis and sometimes follows us around with rotten eggs I have no idea how old he really is and I’m not certain I want to know It turns out he really can’t farm to save his life He talks about ancient historical events like they happened yesterday Seriously how old is he this is getting worrying

Some rando: This character should not have the chance to become a better person

Me: Why

Same person: Because they are a bad person!

Me: But what if that character was allowed to become a better person so that they are no longer a bad person?

Same person: You’re an abuse apologist

ZUTARA + PARALLELS:

They circle each other in an eternal dance; they balance each other. Push and pull. Life and death. Good and evil. Yin and yang…

Writing about a child rapist did not make Vladimir Nabokov a child rapist.

Writing about an authoritarian theocracy did not make Margaret Atwood an authoritarian theocrat.

Writing about adultery did not make Leo Tolstoy an adulterer.

Writing about a ghost did not make Toni Morrison a ghost.

Writing about a murderer did not make Fyodor Dostoevsky a murderer.

Writing about a teenage addict did not make Isabel Allende a teenage addict.

Writing about dragons and ice zombies did not make George R.R. Martin either of those things.

Writing about rich heiresses, socially awkward bachelors, and cougar widows did not make Jane Austen any of those things.

Writing about people who can control earthquakes did not make N.K. Jemisin able to control earthquakes.

Writing about your favorite characters and/or ships in situations that you choose does not make you a bad person.

It’s a shame that in this day and age these things need to be said.
