Girls I Want to See in YA:

write-like-a-freak:

Making this post about relationships got me thinking about girls. I’ll probs eventually make a male version of this.

• Trans girls
• Girls who are incredibly disinterested and intimidating (there are a lot of idgaf girls who are loud and talk shit and get crazy, but I want to see girls who can silence a room with one look and care so little about what others think that people are scared of her. i.e. I want to see me)
• Fragile girls who are breaking and broken but not portrayed as lesser
• Desperate girls
• Suave girls who play up their sexuality like a lot of guys do, but aren’t written off as whores, nor wholly characterized by their sexuality
• Girls who are quiet and scared but have to go save the day anyway, breathing into a bag while they do it
• Girls of non-average appearance (tall girls, fat girls, girls with acne, really short girls, girls with gigantic jugs, u kno. although, the oddly colored hair thing is getting kinda old)
• Girls who have crazy high standards for a love interest and when the douchebag bad boy comes along and thinks he’s going to seduce her with his edginess she just doesn’t even care. Bonus if she ends up completely platonic friends with him, or if she kills him one day. That would be fun.
• Girls who ARE the douchebag bad boy but not in a cliche way
• Really funny girls
• Anti-hero girls
• Evil, evil evil evil evil girls (both genuinely hated and kinda admired)
• Girls who are innocent and sweet and still likable even though people nowadays look down on naïveté 
• Gorgeous girls who know they’re gorgeous but their gorgeousness is simply a trait and not their entire identity or even that important to them/their love interest
• Girls who are oblivious and spend too much time in their own heads
• Really smart girls
• Nerdy/fangirl girls who are quiet mostly and then get rEALLY EXCITED ABOUT BOOKS OR TV SHOWS AND THat’s basically the only way they know how to really communicate/connect with people

I’m going to stop myself here before I get too crazy with this. I want to see a lot from YA girls.
