Male Scifi and Fantasy writers: Look at this !Strong! female character! She can fight and solve puzzles, and ends up with the sidekick not the hero! Isn’t she a great character?
Everyone: No, she’s one-dimensional and still only exists to please the hero’s ego
Male scifi and fantasy writers: You’re never happy! This is how characters are written! Besides, it’s much harder for us to write women because we are men!
Terry Pratchett: *creates a female character who is literally the embodyment of a dog, sets her up to be the love interest of Protagonist Hero Man.* *writes her as clever, emotionally tortured, lonely and powerful* *uses her to explore difficulties of bisexuality and masculine dominated workforces*
Terry Pratchett: *Creates a pair of old witches, one of whom is a virgin and the other who has slept with lots of men.* *makes them best friends, never dismisses one lifestyle of the other, explains lifestyle choices based on characters history and personality, uses this to develop each character as the books progress*
Terry Pratchett: *Writes Sybil Rankin* *makes the powerful rich lady heavy set but beautiful, never plays her by her looks, develops her as she ages, acknowledges the way society views such people and then spits on their attitudes* *does it again with Agnes*
Terry Pratchett: *Writes a book about an entire army secretly being women, creates complex female relationships, introduces same sex relationships completely naturally*
Terry Pratchett: *takes old joke about female dwarves and uses it to explore gender identity without making it seem forced or unnatural, carefully discusses some of the issues and complextities whilst still making funny and witty observasions and maintaining genuine fantasy tropes*
Terry Pratchett: *DOES THIS ALL OVER AND OVER AGAIN, DEVELOPING CHARACTERS AS HIS VEIW OF THE WORLD DEVELOPS AND CAREFULLY APOLOGIZES FOR EARLY MISTAKES*
Excellent note by @spiderleggedhorse
haha that's a nice starry-eyed ambition you've got there buddy. sure hope the narrative doesn't warp it into something ruthless and all-consuming
i like it too :)
As a Welsh non-binary demon, I approve of this message.
Between Ryan Gosling Ken and Benoit Blanc I'm starting to think that it's some sort of animal abuse to keep casting big name actors in stoic macho manly man rolls instead of giving them goofy little guys to play. Like look at them their coats are shiny, they seem so much more lively and energetic. We need to make sure all actors have enough goofy little guys to play before peta gets involved.
muffin tins gotta be one of the top five worst dishes to wash by hand. right up there with them fuckass blender blades. all those nooks and crannies like… don’t piss me off
the people have spoken. also included in that list are whisks, cheese graters, champagne glasses, and apple corers. fuck these kitchen utensils!!!
Former housekeeper here:
A lot of people in the notes giving the very good advice of getting yourself a bottle brush to deal with several of these pain-in-the-ass dishes, and also to promptly run soapy water through your blender or food processor after use. I will also note: if you don’t manage to clean all these things promptly – leave your dishes with the annoying nooks and crannies to soak in hot, soapy water. After a couple of hours, take em out, rinse em, change out the soapy water, put em back. Changing the water for stuck-on gunk is the magic step no old person ever told me about how to make that process work, but two changes of hot, soapy water over the course of 4-24 hours completely unglues most things from, for example, whisks and graters.
Muffin tins with the awful little metal grooved bits inside the muffin cups? Apple corers? Buy a toothbrush with firm bristles and make it part of your sink’s dishwashing tools. Use it on these things. For the blades on the two-handed version of apple corers, a toothbrush keeps your fingers out of the blades; for the tube style apple corers, it lets you reach the sticky bullshit a sponge or cloth can’t normally get to.
Also, if you have surface rust on your (not cast-iron, and not teflon-coated) metal stuff and you want it gone before it turns into proper rust damage? Toothpaste and a scouring pad. Add baking soda if you feel like it. No water at first, just scrub a pea-sized amount of that minty bullshit in there for a bit, wipe it off with a cloth or paper towel, repeat.
Also, blender blades? Shortly after you’ve finished with the blender, quickly rinse it out (don’t worry about doing a good job). Then fill it up about halfway with water and add a squirt or two of soap. Now, put it back on the stand, put the lid on, and TURN IT ON FOR A FEW SECONDS. That brief spin in soapy water is going to do more for your blender blades than any time spent soaking or scrubbing.
In most cases, you can then just rinse it out with hot water and you’re done. If there’s any scrubbing left to do, it’s usually minor. This trick has made me willing to make smoothies again.
You can use denture cleaning tablets for tea, coffee, and pasta sauce stains in ceramic mugs & bowls.
If theres a lot of fat make sure to change the water as soon as theres no more foam. Soap works by connecting to the fat and making it water soluble, and any soap left in there forms bubbles. So if the water is not bubbly then all the soap has already connected to fat molecules and the water can’t remove any more fat. Remove the water and add more soap.
