FUCK YOU, SHE'S AWESOME.

So I was adding some new interests to my LJ profile (because I, uh... have some new interests. Yes.) and found myself feeling defensive every time I typed a female name, thinking, basically, FUCK YOU, SHE'S AWESOME, because I felt as if someone somewhere was going to be criticizing my love for them.

So, anyway, then I made a list of women who make me want to say FUCK YOU, SHE'S AWESOME. They are far from the only women who are awesome, or the only women people need to be told to step off of, but they are the top ten I feel that way about, right now, off the top of my head.

If you want to argue with me about the awesomeness of any of these women, I am afraid I will simply be referring you to the subject line. THAT IS ALL.

1) Rachel from Animorphs
2) War from Good Omens
3) Granny Weatherwax, Discworld
4) Shirley Schmidt from Boston Legal
5) Mai Kujaku, Yuugiou
6) Hayley from Stick It
7) Mulan from Mulan
8) Stephanie Brown from Batman comics
9) Lilly Rush from Cold Case
10) Dr. Cuddy from Houses

I've actually ordered them in the order that I'd like to be them. Rachel is my top pick. I know how she died, I know what she had to do before she died but gods, I love her. She had so much fierceness in her; passion and anger and courage, all wrapped up tightly inside her skin. And when she died, she was missed.

Of all the women on that list, Rachel's skin is the one that I want to wear the most.

Life and death and love and all, I want to be her.

I don't remember many specifics about Animorphs, since I haven't read the books since they first arrived in my bookorders in 5th grade (Jesus I can't believe it's been that long. o-o) I think Cassie and Rachel were my favorites, though. Somehow that's not surprising at all, is it? XD I never did finish the series and find out how they all died either, a pity. My favorite part with Rachel that I can recall is the book about how she had a vendetta against that David guy, and I kept imagining my brother as the villain. It's eeriliy fitting, since my brother is all obsessed with saving the whales and stuff and I remember him being a whale in that book... o-o

Anyway, this meme is cool, I'mna steal it.

Is there really anyone who's like that about War or Granny? I thought they were pretty universally beloved.
