megan rosalarian gedris: there are actually a lot of really great female characters on tv

magnoliapearl:

liz lemon is every character i had been looking for in television and couldnt find (and jenna)

leslie knope (and many other parks and rec characters)

and those are both the leads of their series!

the entire female cast of archer (thank god that show is getting better…

I think Shirley was a poorly conceived character, the writing for whom has improved, and I think this season she is finally her own genuinely funny character that I would watch by herself, not just bouncing off someone else, though that’s where all the characters in this show shine.

My interest in and sympathy for Annie varies wildly from episode to episode. One thing I can say for her is that she’s always been involved in the funniest bits of the show. Like, no, not Strong Female Character, but a great role to highlight the excellent comedic talents of Alison Brie, you know, as much as they talk about her boobs she’s not window dressing or anything in the way that, say, Penny from Big Bang Theory is. She’s funny to watch.

And Britta, I can’t even handle how wrong everyone is about Britta Perry in general, and like, I can’t write a response to this “arms crossed hrmph men” or “I don’t like her but she’ll be fun to watch self-destruct” nonsense because Britta Perry lives inside my heart and she is a precious bird perching on my soul like fuuuuck best character. How do you not like Britta? Do you not like PUPPIES? Puppies who try too hard and you just want to hug FOREVER?

ANYWAY A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION WAS HAD LA LA LA
