Happy Encantober everybody!! ✨🦋

Here’s my first submission bc I couldn’t think of anything for caterpillar lol

Today’s prompt was “Strength”

Can I just say how THRILLED I am that they did not make Luisa Madrigal the typical tomboy strong girl? Like. Being that tall and buff is already considered masculine, and they could have leaned into the stereotype of Strong/Tall Cannot Equal Feminine but they DIDN'T, and I cannot begin to say how much that MEANS TO ME.

I am the tallest woman in my family at 6 foot, and I often am taller than the men I meet too. I am chronically ill and not even slightly buff, but still!! So often I felt pressured to dress masculinely. I have felt unfeminine many times in my life, but let me tell you. Seeing that 22 year old (the age I am) over 6 foot (the height I am) woman wear a DRESS and want to ride UNICORNS and imagine PINK FLUFFY CLOUDS made me wANT TO CRY!!!! Tall girls can be girly too 😭
