George, that’s kind of immensely cringe, I gotta be real, here.

Yeah, there’s no way anyone would have ever guessed with those ugly glasses, you can’t be hot if you have to wear them /s
What.

I am legit in the process of writing an entire AOT retelling just to change the ending. I am driven as much by spite as the joy of creativity. It’s not enough to just change the ending. I must dismantle everything that lead up to it piece by piece.

Transcripts from discussions between Lucas, Kasdan, and Spielberg for Raiders of the Lost Ark. The two characters they’re referring to are Indy and Marion.

One of my little irks I’ve noticed is that when there’s a former abusive/creepy ex in a story it’s almost always a guy I feel
I dunno, I feel like women can be just as creepy and/or abusive but the media doesn’t really portray it that way

There was, for a brief time, a crime drama that focused on female criminals. Most often murderers, but there was also one episode where a woman kidnapped a dude, tied him up and spent the whole episode torturing the guy. Hell of it was, he didn’t even do anything to her, he was the stubborn ass ex-husband of the lady detective who was after said psycho bitch, she just used him to get under the detective’s skin.
Tragically, that show don’t last very long, though it was very well done before it got the axe.
But yeah, there really isn’t much focus, outside of crime documentaries, on the role women play in toxic or abusive relationships. I know Wayhaven Chronicles has it so that shitty-awful-horrible-bag-of-human-trash Bobby can be female, but I suspect the intention, like with Unit Bravo, is that Bobby be a dude, and the gender-flip is purely to account for the bisexual/lesbian/maybe pan?/straight male playerbase, as opposed to the majority straight female playerbase the story seems built for.
(And then you get ace dudes like me and the story throws up its hands and goes, “Well, I can’t just turn Bobby into a stick of garlic bread! You’ve gotta throw me a bone, here!”)

Going to the bar instead of working in your office immediately avoids most of the Bobby-ness.

And spares you a bug in your office, to boot, and for once I don’t mean Bobby!

wait, that’s a thing? weird.
but tbh if it sounds like if something like that is written correctly it could be actually really great.
i can’t get pregnant; i’m sterile. and a lesbian. because of misogyny that fact makes me really feel like less of a woman sometimes, even though i know it’s not true. i know other women who feel like that too, so it’s not a me thing, unfortunately 
i believe seeing someone write about that feeling would be really cathartic, if done right.

It’s literally a plot point in not one, but TWO Marvel movies, just off the top of my head.

It’s also a haphazardly thrown together motivation in Season 3 of Sex Education, which doesn’t really go anywhere or was even needed in the first place.

Which ones? I don’t remember that and the only one I haven’t seen is the Eternals.
It’s also a huge problem in Twilight. Not that this is surprising since that series has so many problems that I can only think of one or two things that I’d say are worse than it (in the same categories).

It pops up in Black Widow* when the Widows are in the… chopper? plane? with their father, and the other one is… Civil War?, it crops up when BW meets Captain America in the subway. I remember that one because BW lifts her shirt to show the teeeeniest scar on her belly from the surgery and goes “and now I can’t wear bikinis at the beach” and I thought, yes, truly, this inch-long, thin cut is definitely going to make people not want to see Scarlett Johansson in a bikini. Indeed.
It’s the reverse “this looks like a 13-year-old girl but is actually a 1,000-year-old polymorphed dragon so it’s totally not pedo, you guys” horror show.
*Florence Pugh as Belova is absolutely hilarious.
An avalanche almost swallows the plane: “Ohhh, this would be a totally awesome way to die”
About to get cut into by evil surgeons: “Not so awesome way to die.”
