This is a picspam for halfamoon's current celebration of female characters. I decided to make a picspam for a small selection of my favorite non-English speaking female characters ("non-English speaking" here meaning that they primarily speak in another language since some of these characters may codeswitch or speak occasional sentences in English). I've hopefully kept the spoilers to a minimum in case you want to check any of these out. :) I know that I definitely need to diversify my exposure to non-English media and I hope that I can find and add more awesome ladies in the future!

So, forever ago, I sort of took gif requests and was totally busy trying to fill requests and then my hard drive died over this summer and I didn't manage to save the new gifs to my backup in time so I lost all the ones I had made. I haven't had much time since, so if you made a specific gif request in that post and you don't see it here, I'll try my best to make it by my next .gif post.

Fandoms: Avatar: the Last Airbender, The Big Bang Theory, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (Japan), Hana Yori Dango, Jab We Met, Love Shuffle, My Mighty Princess, Om Shanti Om, Pulp Fiction, Türkisch für Anfänger, Waterboys, You're Beautiful

For picspammy's October challenge: Türkisch für Anfänger (Turkish for Beginners) is a German comedy about a German-Turkish family that deals with adolescence and culture clash. Lena Schneider is very displeased when her mom decides to move in with her Turkish boyfriend, Metin, and his teenage children, the macho Cem and the very religious Yağmur. My German teacher actually introduced this show to my class while we were learning the words for family members and we all liked it instantly. Unfortunately, the DVDs don't seem to have English subtitle options and I can't find fansubs for anything past the pilot so I'm sort of watching the rest of the episodes raw. I hope they come out with an English subtitled version eventually because I'd love to understand all the dialogue instead of just bits and pieces!
