Adorable :D

Thank yoouu haha :)

That IS a 'jumping spider', non? I should know when I see one, since they are my absolute favorite brand of spider to smoke, but that is such an eye-on photo I don't want to put all eight feet in my mouth on the assumption alone...

I believe he is, yes! c: He was super chill and never jumped at me though. He actually hung around for several months, and we liked to hang out, haha. Super cute little dude!

Also, I totally get what you mean by being tired of superhero comics. I've got lots of ideas though, so, no worries really! ^^

I always thought they were cute too. They have to be a lot bigger and hairier before the get full-on ugly/scary.

And depending on how workable you find my 'guidelines', you might conceive of a few more. I'm definitely not worried. Ideas flow like water for highly creative people.

Hey, I'm fine with your guidelines!
I'm pretty good with Drama plotlines, but I'm really looking forward to writing a strong female lead, mainly.

Plenty of other things I don't like that I haven't specifically mentioned yet, though. Which Discussion helps with...

I can't tell you how refreshing that sounds. In Anime, for instance, few enough Female Leads, and when they are, they aren't always strong enough.

The closest thing to a Lead in my story is a hermaphrodite. Shi isn't particularly strong, however. Hir weaknesses are played as hi virtues...

I love all versatile female characters! It's just that there are so many negative tropes - or boring ones - and I'm simply tired of them.

I'd love to have her be Pansexual, as well, just so I can play some of myself in her c:

Well, it takes someone fed up with something to improve it. You won't let yourself fall into the same traps, because you are aware of them and want to take your Heroine(?) somewhere specific.

And what do you see as the possible - and any actual - pluses and minuses in going that route?

Minuses: Sexist men getting upset about a female lead is really the only one I can see as a MAJOR minus.

Pluses: Woman being happy to see a strong female lead, being elated to see themselves represented correctly for once.

So, bottom line, you expect a much stronger female viewership... Personally, I fail to see that as a minus as I don't care what the stats on the worldwide comics fandom are...

Oh no, I don't see that as a minus! I see the bitching that might come with it as a minus xD haha

I figured that was what you meant. Frankly, I can't see where that would be a bother to you. Unless you find those sorts of comments hard to ignore?

Oh, no! I'm well adept to sexism & ignoring it, aha.

Glad to here it. Because those comments are worth your time in no way, shape or form...
