Idea: more fantasy heroines who don’t look down on female-coded work
Sword-swinging mercenaries who admire the hell out of their sister-in-law’s delicate, painstaking embroidery. Mages who find their experience with running a household helps them organize and control their magic. Desperate rebels who know they are absolutely dependent on the women who cook and mend and care for the wounded.
I am so bored of heroines who sneer at ‘womanly’ things and complain of the uselessness of embroidery. Your average medieval kingdom wouldn’t last a week without people doing women’s work.
Thiiiiiis

@dulcito-on-ao3 Katarina: These stuffy lace nightgowns are so itchy and boring. Oooh I’ll make my own jammies! Oh for some reason, if I stitch in this particular manner while idly letting my magic flow through me things light up! What an odd thing, I guess all magicians can do that.
Miridiana: KATARINA!
Suzanna: *years later, when discovering this* You invented a whole new method of enchantment and never told anyone because of your mother?!
