Take aim... And make sure to hit the apple this time!
At some point before we got to the site someone left this log. Propped it up on a stump with some rocks and it seemed like a good enough makeshift target to me. 🏹
"Why are there so many female archers in fiction?"
Please forgive the clickbait-y title! This is a super complex and interesting topic that I barely scratch the surface of here, but I hopefully will be able to do more justice to things like this in the future!
Also, it's not the point of the video, but I had fun with the outfits in this- do you have any faves?

I think this is the most definitively that I've been able to answer one of these questions!
Huge thanks to Destructive Creations over on tiktok for the arrowhead, and thanks for watching. See you on the next trope!

You know what comic book company and it's characters deserve more recognition? Valiant.
Valiant has so many interesting characters, it's quite the shame that they don't get as much love as any characters from the Big Two. Maybe a movie, or TV series, or video game could help expand the fan base.
When I gave my brother five comic companies and asked him which he would pitch a game to if given the chance, he said Valiant. He's not a comic book reader like I am, so he like just chose the way that could give some freedom to the work. When listing off characters a Souls-like game he would want to create, he stopped me and picked X-O Manowar. Which you know what? I think X-O Manowar could work in a Souls-like video game.
"But what about the Shadowman game and the Bloodshot movie? People know those." Yes, but how big was their impact?
And moving on from video games to movies, I think Valiant's characters would work better in animation than live-action. There's something about the colors of Valiant characters that pop better in anything not live-action. Taking Batinthesun's Ninjak vs the Valiant Universe for example, while costumes are spot on, they don't look as good, the colors don't pop as much, least in my opinion.
What characters would I pick for a Valiant animated movie? First thought is Shadowman, then Punk Mambo popped into my head. She could have a style that sort of meets in the middle of Miles' universe and Hobie's universe from Across the Spider-Verse.
Maybe someone could make an animated series for Valiant's immortal brothers, the Eternal Warriors, Ivar the Timewalker, and Armstrong. You could even throw their sister in too. War-Queen is pretty interesting for a slightly newer character, newer in that she only appeared within like the last decade I belive.
Or maybe could have the Deliquents, Archer, Armstrong, Quantum and Woody, as a ragtag bunch of misfits for a more comedic animated series.
"Ho there! I'm Norne, a volunteer in the Altean army. Don't let the festive attire fool ya; I'm a keen hand with a bow if you're needin' one."
Finally finished this! I started it back in November, but if there's one thing I'm good at, it's not finishing anything. I adore Norne, have I mentioned that? I think I mentioned that. So instead of the "default outfit but red with white trim" that seems to be the standard holiday skin, I tried to make her into something that actually ties in to the season. She's an elf! With a gingerbread bow that shoots candy cane arrows. I was planning on doing some of my other favorite characters (with inspiration from other seasonal holidays, not just christmas), but I'm the queen of procrastinating, so I can't make promises.
IS... I know you'll remake Shadow Dragon one day, I can feel it in my bones. When that day comes... Nintendo, please let 8-4 do the localization. And 8-4, PLEASE let Norne be a country bumpkin with an accent like Donnel. I can't express how disappointed I was with Mozume. That's all I want for Christmas.
