i have a love/hate relationship only because I HATE THAT THEY HAVE TO BE HEADCANONS!!!! sobbing on the floor. i'm sick of it. can we get some actual butch characters so we can stop headcanoning (as much).

but to actually answer the question... i feel like i see more of it in art than fanfic? or maybe that's just a result of me being more casually into f/f art than fanfic and thus seeing more of it, but i guess maybe it seems easier to portray in art than in writing, but i wish i did see more of it in writing.

OH also i can't normally say this because it would make me sound like an asshole BUT SINCE I'VE BEEN ASKED. i've been seeing more art of butches with top surgery which i'm fine with, this isn't a complaint about that! but FREE BUTCHES FROM THE DEEP THICK RED JAGGED SCARS THAT LOOK LIKE IT WAS DONE BY A CHILD WITH A SAW. GET HER A BETTER SURGEON AND BETTER SCAR AFTERCARE I'M BEGGING. (signed someone who's had similar surgery (reduction)).

and i wish i saw more KINDS of butches... i feel like a lot of what i see is like... a step up from tomboy you know what i mean? or kinda alternative... where are the grandpa butches at. also more actually masculine haircuts.

in terms of fic i would love to see more butch lesbians using masculine terms/titles without identifying as anything other than woman. lesbian husbands... lesbian kings... handsome ones.

and really my biggest/thought wish is just more of an understanding of butch and how to portray that overall. like putting her in a suit doesn't count if it's cut like a women's trendy suit. i've seen a character called butch when she wears eye shadow, lipstick, and hoop earrings daily just because she has a shaved head... pleaseeeee use your brains to read

what about you!! tell me your thoughts too
