Friday night, being goofy.

[enamoured]

Have you heard about womenlovefest? Well, now you have. It's a weeklong fete celebrating the women/girls/ladies in fandom who are disliked/hated on/ignored/etc. This totally piqued my interest because I invariably end up loving a lot of the female characters that are hated in whatever fandom I'm into (hello Ashley and Emma from Degrassi, Kate from Lost, Bonnie from The Vampire Diaries, and Rose, Martha, Donna, and Amy from Doctor Who!), save for a few rare cases.

(I also tend to ship the couples that are doomed or not the end game ones, but that is an entirely different matter all together.)

ANYWAY. The character I'm spotlighting this week is Rachel Berry from Glee. I will go into the why part tomorrow, but in the meantime, have a graphic I made a few months ago:

I had no idea the female companions were hated on! I see a bajillion DW iconposts featuring Rose every week on my flist, so I figured she was very well-loved. Let me guess, everyone's cuckoo for the male Doctors, but the female companions are seen as whores or ditzes or some crap? Ugh. And Rachel Berry gets hated on, too? I thought she was probably a fave along with that Kurt guy. Shows how much I can gather just from what I see on my own flist!

And the Kate hate was just...whatever. She sometimes annoyed me, but I liked her overall, and by midway through S6, I realized I actually love her.

I just do not get the companion hate. All of them are awesome in their own way! And Rachel hate isn't as widespread as, say, Kate hate, but I have friends who really loathe her. I would have picked Kate, but I don't even know if I can rationally explain why I love her, and sometimes I worry that most of it's to do with the fact that I think Evangeline Lilly is stunning.
