The Bravest Little Girls in the Forest

Cracked Spines

This week, Sarah and Cyrus tackle a subject that is a particular passion of one of them: the character type of Brave Little Girls. Sarah posits a working definition of what this phrase might mean, and gushes over fictions weird little girls who are asked to do too much and who rise to the occasion. Cyrus wonders if anyone had a normal childhood or what a thing might mean. We also talk about Misha Collins and some big questions about gender. (Those are two separate topics, we promise.)
Our patreon! Pretty sparse right now but we have big yet achievable dreams for it.
