“why can’t female heroes kick arse in heels” because it’s not practical and will literally snap your damn ankle you can scream weaponised femininity all you want but first off, you need to admit that they’re not an almighty symbol of empowerment, and secondly that if you do a job with a lot of physical activity in heels you’re risking your own safety. all these women fighting in heels on tv are going to end up seriously injuring themselves.
weaponised femininity is a concept made up in an attempt to get us to embrace the industries created to hold us back/profit from our insecurities so that we can continue to fit into the male expectation of what a woman should be and not question why we are forced to spend thousands on our appearance every year
the constant suggestion by popular media that vampires and werewolves are inherently opposites/enemies is quite frankly offensive. they are best friends. nocturnal monster buddies.

more ridiculous things i’ve done for writing:
- weighted a grapefruit in my hands to see if i could justifiably describe something as “weighing as much as a grapefruit”
- done jumping jacks for 5 minutes straight so the memory of how exertion feels would be fresh in my mind
- googled images of butterscotch to see if “butterscotch” could be a hair colour
- casually stared at people at bus stops trying to figure out how i would hypothetically recreate their image in words
- written 7 different beginnings for a story to see which one i liked best
- gone to venice
- enthusiastically spoken dialogue aloud to myself to see how it sounds
- tried to read 3 books in one day
- experienced terrible things, reacting with “i can write about this”
- screamed incoherently at someone for turning on the tv while i was in the room, writing
- sat there perfectly still staring into space trying to imagine what getting a boner feels like
- “hey re-enact this scene with me”
- sat upside-down for ten minutes trying to get my brain to work
- squandered schoolwork and free time alike for years
- written
I’m alarmed by how familiar some of these feel to me.
I never understood why writers, and artists in general, should either go big otherwise they have failed. Like yes, I probably won’t be the next Stephen King and that is fine. I may as well publish a book or two, give a couple of interviews in the local newspapers and have a fanbase of like 1000 people. And it would be fine. Sure I would love to get big, but I’m also a real pessimist so…
Anyways the point is, for any other job the average is good. A doctor doesn’t have to find the cure for cancer to be respected. An architect doesn’t have to build the next Eiffel tower. A teacher is doing enough just by teaching a dozen of children how to read and write.
Just do your thing. Make sure you are doing it well. Keep your hopes high but don’t ever consider yourself less because society said so.
