The Cavalry.

#THIS IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT FFS #this is not just a cool nickname for her #most titles like that are held by (white) men #as a proof of their unparalleled hypermasculinity #one that comes from bloodshed and slaughter #titles like that earned and not easily #but this isn’t most titles #this is something melinda got as a token for her trauma after Bahrain #it’s like a brand seared onto her forehead #and to her it’s ugly and accusing and associated with so much pain #so while on the one hand i’m very happy a woman of colour gets to hold a Big Badass Nickname #while simultaneously deconstructing it #i’m extremely unhappy when the fandom refers to her as that (via stardust-rain)
