you can instantly make a cool female character if you just take any stereotypically masculine character type and make him a butch lady. easiest trick in the book. you can try this at home
im not talking even about broad scale archetypes like Action Hero. those are cool don’t get me wrong but if you take more specific stock characters such as “cartoonish mob boss” or “gentleman detective” or “elderly mad scientist” then you have an instant hit on your hands. lesbians WILL love you forever and you WILL be the most interesting person around
