Another kind of "strong woman" (Lizzy Midford) part 1

[blackruzsa]

One of the biggest insults to feminism, in my opinion, is the degrading of girls who like to act "girly" (sweet, cute, sensitive, basically cisgendered when it comes to the general idea of femininity).

I know feminism is a struggle to break all patriarchal gender norms, but you can't force someone not to act the way they do, especially when they choose to do it freely.

Case in point: Elizabeth Midford from the Kuroshitsuji/"Black Butler" manga, a Victorian era, Faustian style demonic, Sherlock-esque manga about a twelve-year old lord of an estate in service to the Queen.

She's been portrayed as a sweet, innocent soul who loves cute things and does everything she can in her power to make her young fiance, the main character Ciel Phantomhive, smile.

Wow, it's been over a year since I've read this manga, and it's still far from disappointing.

In this arc, basically, the dead rise on a boat. General zombie things on a luxury cruise. Boat crash ala Titanic. You get the idea.

A fight breaks out, and Sebastian is occupied, when...

Well shit I am so behind on this manga like for real. Zombies you say? Titanic crash? I like!

I always did like Lizzie. I'm assuming she gets a lot of hate in the fandom? I'm not really current in my animanga fandoms.

I'm not sure, really. I don't know about hate (though personally I love Lizzy, she's always a ray of sunshine)

I'll be posting the next part soon ;)

I was behind on the manga by like, thirty to forty chapters, and I finished it all in one night. Too good by far.

I love Misa, too bad she put her love and trust in the wrong guy ):

Still, you're right. Amane Misa vibes all over.
