honestly the best fictional moralities are like
bad guy = fuck I hope I wouldn’t do that, but I’d be really tempted
good guy = fuck I hope I would do that, but it’d be really hard

me: feminist criticism of Disney/Twilight/romance novels or whatever is dumb: the causality mostly goes in the other direction, in that women watch/read these because that’s what they’re interested in, and trying to force art to have “strong female role models” or whatever is just denying the agency of women as well as a great way to have shitty art
also me: Amaryllis Penndraig is my greatest inspiration and primary role model

mm okay so I love Amaryllis, to the point where a lot of my current personality is based on her, but also she’is frustratingly Mary-Sueish and perfect and I really wish she sucked just a bit more.
like I need more:
- Amaryllis making really dumb mistakes, ones that are obviously mistakes if you think about it for a minute
- Amaryllis knowing about problems and not doing anything to address them
- Amaryllis breaking down and crying because she just. can’t.
- Amaryllis thinking too hard about everything and everyone that’s depending on her, until she’s like “nope fuck this” and does something really selfish instead
