I Am Mesmerized By Bat Gizmo

I am mesmerized by Bat Gizmo

I completely agree with you about everything and I’m sorry I wasn’t clear enough about what i was referring to when i said “heroines in a masculine light’, when i was referring to the trope where masculine girls or "one of the boys" characters dislike or look down upon girly girls and believe they are superior, for no other reason than the other girl being more feminine and/or girly, and I would just love to see an actual masculine women and transmasculine people represented  in media  where they are more prominent and their stories that should go beyond their gender identity or sexuality, focusing on their experiences, conflicts, and personal growth. Authentic representation by individuals with those identities ensures nuanced and informed storytelling. 

but in light to that I do think and agree with you that It's crucial to have diverse and authentic portrayals of different experiences and identities in media without reinforcing negative or divisive narratives.

Overall y’know just like you said I just want to see media where women of any kind can just see themselves in and relate to because they are represented in a way that is authentic and shows at least some of the complexity and nuance of they're life.

Recently re-watched “confession of a shopaholic”, “legally blonde”, “clueless”, “the devil wears Prada” and “the house bunny” and lemme tell you no one can compare to how that era in media represented girly girls as much as it did, sure it wasn’t perfect, but it just hits differently now that almost every type of trope or girl heroine is represented in a masculine light or not like other girls trope and  sees the girly girls as shallow and dumb. 

Like its so hard to find anything where girls and women just support each other, and if they are going to be rivals or not like each other pls make it so that its actually relevant to the plot and make sense for them to not like each other, and not just because women hate other women trope.

Sean and charmaine giving the biggest ‘theyre a little confused, but they got the spirit” vibes and Im here for it.

Something about Nadja mentioning trying to lose her virginity multiple times on a beach in Antipaxos in episode 2

Something about Nadja's ghost wanting to lose her virginity too this season (meaning Nadja never had sex before she was a vampire), as seen from the trailers

Something about her relationship with her Sire, The Baron, knowing they had/have a sexual relationship and that he was most likely the one she lost her virginity to

Something about how Guillermo's turning is framed as a metaphor for his first time having sex

Something about her and Guillermo having time to possibly talk about all this in episode 5

Who would've thought we'd all be simping for water and fire....

I saw you were looking for book recs and I've just gotta ask you: have you heard of Burn the House Down by Kenna Jenkins? It's an alternate history novel abt the 1st woman president and her secret sapphic relationship/bearded marriage with her mlm best friend. It also includes a subplot about arson at the White House, ft. An entirely queer main cast and really fleshed out characters, and has a really satisfying ending!

It's familiar, but I haven't heard about it directly. Thanks for the rec, I'd have to check it out now, the plot sounds interesting and the queer characters are also a plus. Can't say that the genre is something I like, but I know its worth a try.

Anyways thank you again for the book recommendation!!
