Komodo dragons are so vicious that they have to roll around in poop soon after hatching just to make it less likely that they arenโt eaten by their own mom, so not really ๐ญ

I think Final Girl should be reserved for characters who really mother during the movie instead of whoever happens to be alive when the credits roll yk
Itโs just wild that all this discourse is happening because white peopleโs knee-jerk reaction to gentle correction by Black people was โYOU do not tell me what to do.โ
The last 40-hour a week job I had gave me weekends off and I literally spent all of them sleeping because I was so tired all the time and Iโll be damned if I do that for the rest of my adult life

Imo final girl carries the implication that there is a moment in the story that the woman reclaims her power and takes the fight directly to the antagonist (think Nancy Thompson, Sidney Prescott, Laurie Strode). Making it just whoeverโs alive in the end-
Actually, since yโall are here, who are some of your favorite final girls? This is a Heather Langenkamp (Wes Cravenโs New Nightmare [1994]) stan account

Omggg I never noticed because of how immersed I was in the scene ๐ญ. I thought they just committed and squeezed into a corset or something
I think the reason so many cis people have trouble grasping trans/queer identities is because their conception of their own identity was decided for them at an ultrasound appointment and they never interrogated that further
When you erase the boundaries that define exactly who and what a woman is, you have upended womenโs rights.
If a woman can be anyone who *feels* like one, regardless of concrete reality, being a woman means nothing at all, and there is no way to protect the rights of this

Why do yโall believe your masculinity is something that can be stolen away from you? Not only is that an unhealthy belief for yourself, it leads you to do shit like projecting your insecurities onto children who are pursuing their passion :/
