I have issues. And I have neeeeeeds.



I was actually pumped to hear the S3 spoilers about the boys meeting up with two new female characters, because, hi! Femslash for the show! More het! There is no downside here. I was even, more the fool me, kinda hoping that the female hunter character might have visible strength. I'm not asking for a weightlifter here, but maybe the physique of a runner or a swimmer. I was even thinking that maybe Kripke and co might take the opportunity to incorporate more people of color into the show. (And yeah, I know that SPN is actually more diverse than most of TV.)

Yeah, um, not so much. And I understand, it's TV, they're playing to Peoria, whatever. We're in a country where America Ferrera and Sara Ramirez are considered fat. It's a TV culture where the average-looking guy is always special and gets the hot girl, and the reverse (like Ugly Betty) is revolutionary. That's how we roll.

But y'know what? I'm still cranky. I want to see more characters like Lenore or Ellen. I want to see a female hunter who looks like she could fuck your shit up and then go eat some pie. I want to see Sarah Connor doing pullups on her bed. I want belly-padding and wide hips and full cheeks and big butts, more cushion for the pushin', women built for comfort and not for speed.

I want OFC fic! Smut with Dean with curved women whose bellies and thighs are soft enough to cushion his head, who get doublechins when they giggle and who don't fuck around with salad. A big, bold Earth Mama who wears bright colors and probably has to stand on an applebox to make out with either of them, but who won't take any shit. A Rubenesque lush lady who wears red lipstick and high heels and has awesome cleavage, and who struts over and buys Sam tequila. Mmmmm.

Jesus, yes. I love that scene and the later one where she pumps the shotgun one-handed. One of my all time fav scenes in any movie.

That and Ripley with her big honkin space gun in Aliens, after telling Michael Biehn's character to show her all of what the gun can do, not just what he thinks she can handle.

So yes, I'm with you on some sturdier looking women on TV, women who look like they enjoy food and fucking and just life.

I loved Ripley in Alien and Aliens. :) I think that part with her asking Hicks to show her what the gun can do was one of my favorite scenes. :)

It is! That and when she had to figure out how to get out of the shatter proof room. Oh and Hicks diving through the window as the other guy shot it out. So good.
