When I’m in a weird mental state
I have an end-of-life patient to whom I spoke today. She burst out laughing and said, "It was all such fun. I just had so much fun." I wish this for everyone. I wish that we each would meet death laughing, with little regret and even less fear.
I hate how the booktokification of the “unhinged woman” genre has completely reduced the concept of female rage to just “girlboss” without taking seriously how important it is to unequivocally portray female rage.
Throughout the history of literature, we’ve been given countless instances of women in despair and in sadness but save for a few writers (take Euripides, for example), we’ve rarely ever been given angry women who aren’t the villains or the foil for the perfect poised passive princess. Female rage has constantly been subdued and erased or warped into “she’s just batshit crazy” in pretty much every society.
And now that publishing and media marketing has reduced women showing rage in books to the “white hypersexual girlboss with a knife”, instead of uplifting the way women are allowed to have more dimension and sympathy in their visible anger than ever in literature, the media still isn’t taking this subgenre seriously.

Hime-chan No Ribbon, 1993, by Megumi Mizusawa.
This cute magical girl story, is about a cheerful and tomboyish girl named Himeko, who one night, is visited in her room unexpectedly by Erica, a girl who is identical to her, only a little more refined, who is the princess of the Magical World. Erika explains that in order to prove herself worthy as a princess, she must give Himeko a magical item that she has created, which is a red ribbon. With this ribbon, Himeko can transform into anyone in the Human World for one hour, thus a story filled with comedy, romance, misunderstandings and friendships starts.
