#Gwyndolin's spot should be about 50% cool and all the way to the right#she kills one person per century to hold off the apocalypse because every other option available was already tried and wasn’t enough#that is the definition of 100% justified

do you think Dark Sun Gwyndolin, the last God-King of Anor Londo, effectively used girl power by consigning rubes to the flame as a means of prolonging her shadow regime and drawing out the suffering of the world under the dying age of fire? i love her to death but you know she's a metonym for collapsing empire

Giselle Gewelle(Top left) is kind of funny to me cause her whole concept is so like riddled with potential classic horrible transphobic stereotypes, from being part of an all girl group(infiltrator shit) to heavy sadist-sexual just flat out tones or even characterization that could veer right into split personality dumb writing.

But then the actual transphobic part of her portrayal is the author makes other characters be transphobic to her for no reason, literally just like a random gag that isnt even like, on the part of how she acts or is, fucking bizarre way to go about it. None of that shit I mentioned before actually ties into her gender identity like you would expect a shitty manga writer to do.

it's incredibly funny that kubo just kinda mr magoo's his way around all these transphobic pitfalls. the person who's initially transphobic is a character i would describe as a not particularly sensitive caricature of a gay man, which is it's own can of worms, but then you have mayuri and all the members of the all female squad respecting her gender. what a weird way to write a trans character, i love her

also if you go to reddit there are some very confused cis people (as there always are) and it's frustrating (as it always is) to see so many people just unwilling to acknowledge even the possibility that there might be a trans character in a thing they like
