You know I agree with you, of course. BRIAR. Both my favourite male and female characters come from Emelan. :D
He treats all women with respect; even when he is promiscuous in Will of the Empress there is nothing misogynistic about his behaviour.
This, exactly. The difference between Briar and so many other flirts tbh. Badass, with a terrible background, who consciously strives not to forget what the people who are less privileged feel, just because those aren't his circumstances any longer. Yup.
Also, where have you been? Are you going to nominate anything for SMACKDOWN?
I ran out of internet again this month. Boo urns. But I am back now, and will be getting back into the memes and such. I watched more Doctor Who, too, but will probably do this wee little season in one review.
I already have so. many. feelings.
I love that Tamora Pierce managed to write him that way, actually. It is nice to see her using characteristics that are so often used in a negative way, and making a character such a positive influence. Because a male being promiscuous doesn't mean they don't view women with respect, just like a woman being promiscuous doesn't mean she doesn't respect herself... You know. etc etc etc.
