STOP this is the feminism checkpoint. you have to comment something you like about a flawed female character. or explode
the raven king was a rly fun book, genuinely scary in moments and had excellent beats for blue gansey ronan & adam, im so glad i finally read this series to the end 13 YEARS after starting it as a kid, but every time i think of a character who vanished from act 3 with zero follow-up or even a passing mention in the epilogue i take another half star away. where are my sweetie peas. artemus maura calla seondeok helen declan gwenllian mr gray laumonier i said where the FUCK are my FUCKING sweetie pees

put three f/f ships you like in the tags. doesnt matter how obscure or embarrassing the media, go for it. and no, your m/m ship doesnt count as women
itβs just so frustrating when someone can only talk about a female character in terms of what she βdeservesβ in a greater moral sense and never about what she wants and willingly puts herself through by means of having agency and what serves her narratively
