I’m gonna say it but, coming from a lesbian, I absolutely hate that feminist retellings of stories tend to make the men absolute dick bags. I get it, men suck! But genuinely if you have to make the men look bad in order for your book to make sense, maybe your book wasn’t feminist to begin with.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Miller's Circe spends most of the book complaining all the other women are slutty whores who steal all the hot men she wants. Then she gets raped and gives up her immortality for some dude.

Extremely funny most people seem to think 'feminist' retellings are primarily about OMG GIRLBOSSSS when they're far far worse than that. bsky.app/profile/benj...
legitimately baffled by your take, most 'feminist' (not very) retellings are about how some straight woman thinks being a woman sucks and also can hot men be nice to her please

Look you have to be on crazy misogyny juice to grab one of the few Greek mythology women who are mean and powerful, and go 'actually she's a weepy victim everyone bullies and then she gets raped'.

I keep thinking about the symmetry of Hades 2 and Hollow Knight: Silksong both being second games where the original had an emo sadboy protagonist and then the sequel being about a girl who is just incredibly task-focused and direct and probably shops at Athleta

Coached my boyfriend through his first-ever Hades 2 run (he didn’t play the first one) on the flight home and this fucking bastard got all the way to Tartarus

You ever sit around and think about the really bad end for Bow where he takes his duty to watch over the library for his dads so seriously he won't let himself die?
