Yeah so it's bronchitis

cornerofmadnessLike I figured it would be but it's not pneumonia yet. I have antibiotics now. Yay. Zpack but boo to them telling me there has been a rise in resistance to it especially since I'm allergic to a lot of antibiotics. Here's hoping this helps. Dad went to see the cousin with sepsis today and said she looks and sounds better than me. Thanks. (to be fair I look like I have the plague)
So not technically for fannish 50 but can we NOT do stuff like this. Watching the second episode of the new Librarians (which isn't bad) and we have one character who is supposed to be a bad ass. She kicked the ass of everyone in E1 but in E2, she's easily restrained by a couple tiny ballerinas. How am I expected to believe she can toss men three times her size but a 100 pound girl in a tutu can stop her cold?
And now for the real fannish 50 I decided on Tuesdays I'll talk about the women of anime/animation (to start with) because fanfic especially is still heavily male oriented (and yes I'm 100% guilty of that) so I plan to start with my newest fandoms and work back.
To that end, here's Millie from Helluva Boss. I admit it. I'm not a fan of most of the female characters in this. I doubt we're meant to like Stella. Loona could be a compelling character if she was moved off the stock angry teen trope, ditto Octavia. Those two have potential but it hasn't been explored enough. Verosaka also is just a side character barely explored.
That leaves me Millie who definitely has potential. She is beautifully, protectively in love with her husband, Moxxie. She is a staunch friend for Blitz even when he might not deserve it. She cares deeply for her people and she will violently protect them to the point of wondering should she keep her baby (which is what the fandom is assuming is why she's wondering, thinking she can't do her job while pregnant and I really hope they come up with something more inventive than that). She's also a good sister to Sallie May, who is a transwoman (hoping we see more of her in the future)
