Chaturday: 500% Queer (At Least)

[helloladies]

At the end of every week, we gather at Lady Business HQ to share media thoughts and chat about the recent happenings in our tiny spheres of human experience. Feel free to join in, but note our comment policy if you're new! :D

As always, puns are welcome.

This week ends with a solidarity fistbump for all the girls in the audience of Ghostbusters (2016) who had or will have their sexual awakening due to Kate McKinnon.



(We also finally named this. Go us.)

I have discoverd kimi ni todoke due to a rec from someone (WHO WAS IT, I must know, please tell me if it was you because I need to shower you with love) and it's adorable. IT'S SO ADORABLE I can really only read it a chapter at a time.

A bunch of folks were talking about If I Was Your Girl by Meredith Russo on Twitter and I decided to check it out. It was pretty good!

I also read Shrill by Lindy West (funny, gutting, raw) and Poisoned Blade by Kate Elliott (sequel to Court of Fives, comes out in August, JUST LEAVE ME HERE TO DIE, etc.)

I watched Ghostbusters! I was debating writing something up about why I loved it and why the original completely fails to hold up for me but does the world really need yet another ~thinkpiece~ about this franchise??? Dubious.

Also, I feel like Avengers Academy is hinting that I'm incompetent, because they keep straight up giving me things, like, "you're never going to make it to 30 spider coins, we'll just boost you up silently." MAYBE IF YOU MADE YOUR EVENTS LESS COMPLICATED. On the other hand I have Mary Jane and Black Cat (LADIES) so I'm pleased.

...and I downloaded Pokemon Go. *heavy sigh* It's cute and fun and my first thought was "this is hella inaccessible to people with social/mobility issues." Plz let me catch more Pokemon without leaving my neighborhood, Niantic. THX.

'does the world really need yet another ~thinkpiece~ about this franchise???' - I really feel like it does :D

It'll just be me going "THANK GOD THIS EXISTS NOW."

I am SO HAPPY about all the people going "Well, I unlocked both of the female characters so I guess I can ignore the rest of this event!" with me. I DON'T CARE ABOUT SPIDERMAN AND I DO NOT WANT HIS VILLAINS CLUTTERING UP MY CAMPUS, WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS EVENT. The only one that could legitimately be invited because he's not a colossal douche is the one who's paid only! *grumblegrumblegrumble adds more female characters to the Wasp shipping chart*

There's one of them just hanging out on my campus waiting for me to gather things to invite him and I'm like "SIGH". I do kind of like some of Spider-Man's actions but I am overall not aware of most of this stuff and am tired of these dumb octobots. >.>

JAN/MARY JANE FASHION OTP 2016 IS WHAT I'M SAYING.

Naaaaaay have you also hit even fatigue on the latest event? I feel like I'm having the same problem to the Spiderman one, but with bonus "I haven't had a break to recover from the halloween event yet". :( I just want time to hoard money and build my ACTUAL CAMPUS, is that too much to ask, game?

YES. I AM 100% HERE FOR THIS. I... Just picturing Jan at Fashion Week with her array of superhero models/bodyguards and this is the BEST image.
