Rarewomen 2013 is live! I got a super amazing present from amathela, in which Stephanie Brown masterminds an Easter egg hunt in the Batcave.

Somewhat relatedly, here is a fun fictional ladies meme, via hamsterwoman:

Give me a number, or a couple, and I'll list my top 5 female characters for that category

LOL, wow I only know 1 Protagonist... I need to go check out the others!

... I adore your taste in supes (I so would to all of those)

Damn girl! You have some awesome taste!

[ladymercury_10]

Thank you! I didn't realize you liked superheroes, too. :)

Ooh, pretty gifs!

better endings: Amelie Poulain (after she chased him for the whole movie, they got together without even talking, which seemed weird to me), Gwen Stacey, Ophelia (Hamlet), Rachel Dawes, Satine (Moulin Rouge)

better development/writing: River Song, Cassandra Cain, ugh, can I just say "half the DC ladies"? It's so sad.

better love interests: Knives Chau (Scott Pilgrim), Martha Jones (nothing against Mickey, they just never explained why they were suddenly together), um, I actually can't think of anymore right now. I'm not sure if that's good or bad.

Villains: Talia al Ghul (Batman), Yzma (The Emperor's New Groove), hmm...I don't pay as much attention to villains, so I am having trouble thinking of more.

Royalty: Belle (Beauty & the Beast), Princess Leia (Star Wars), Princess Zelda (The Legend of Zelda), Nala (The Lion King), Buttercup (The Princess Bride)

Adorkable: Stephanie Brown (Batgirl), Kaylee Frye (Firefly), Annabelle Riggs (Fearless Defenders), Deanna Troi (TNG), Amelie Poulain (Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain)

[hamsterwoman]

Yzma was great fun! And Kaylee and Amelie (the only ones I know on your adorkable list) are ♥, and you have great taste in royalty! :)

[ladymercury_10]

Thank you :)

And haha, yes, it's hard not to be entertained by the combination of canonical adorable kitten transformations and ridiculously over-the-top villainy:
