maybe hard to answer but top5 fav representations of girlhood (you can answer shows/books/movies and/or specific characters)
I’m never entirely sure what ‘representation of girlhood’ is supposed to mean tbh, so I went with sort of books/shows that have an exploration of those experiences as a theme
Yellowjackets — self explanatory and the one you expected I’m sure
Megan Abbott’s suspense books Dare Me + Give Me Your Hand + You Know Me Well as well as the Dare Me tv show (My mourned wlw show canceled after one season :/) which she co-wrote. All stories that deal with themes of girlhood and I love how she approaches it and the female chars and dynamics she writes.
The Gemma Doyle trilogy by Libba Bray— basically think if the trc gang were all girls attending a boarding school in Victorian England and escaping into their fantasy dream forest universe every once in a while to escape the dangers of sexism. Yeah I fucking love these books I should reread them sometime.
Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M. Danforth — read earlier this year and really loved it, horror, included how a curse effected different generations of unconventional women and also polyamerous sapphics it’s real good.
I’m back again with another best of all time list for Pride month! This time, I’m going to be talking about the 10 best queer memoirs of all time. These memoirs oftentimes defy traditional narrative structure, mixing genres and infusing even the writing itself with a queerness just as palpable as that of the writers themselves.
Strong disclaimer that this list only includes books I’ve actually…
Ship dynamics: Like Dionysus and Ariadne, finding love after heartache.
"Distraught, Ariadne was wandering along the shore searching for sight of her lover's ship, when she was surprised by the wine god Bacchus. He had fallen in love with her and asked her to marry him, offering her the sky as a wedding gift, in which one day she would become a constellation." (x)

Summary: With The Staff of Charon a smoking-yet-functional speck on the horizon, and the threat of an active weapons system on one of Chorus’ moons, the fight is far from over. While Locus is no longer a threat, another one of Hargrove’s former lackeys waits for the Reds and Blues as they race to stop the weapons system from coming online. Does she really want to help them? Or is she hiding a more sinister motive? And why is she so interested in Locus?!

Listen to this episode from We Can Do Hard Things with Glennon Doyle on Spotify.
1. The moment Abby – as Christen’s USWNT roommate – walked into their hotel room and knew Christen was very different than any soccer player she’d ever known.
2. The boundary that helps Christen love her people while protecting herself.
3. Christen’s take on death and how to keep the people we’ve lost alive in our lives.
4. How to show our people (including our little athletes) that we love them for who they are, not what they achieve.
5. The day Christen knew she was ready to fight for – and win – pay equity for the US Women’s National Team.
About Christen: Christen Press is a two-time World Cup Champion and Olympian, as well as a leading forward at Los Angeles Angel City FC. An entrepreneur and advocate for inclusivity, Christen, along with US Women’s National teammates – Megan Rapinoe, Tobin Heath, and Meghan Klingenberg – launched their company re—inc, a purpose-driven, global lifestyle brand. Christen was one of the key players leading the charge for the “Equal Play, Equal Pay” campaign to highlight the pay discrepancy between the women’s and men’s national teams, which led to the new CBA agreement – and to her role as Player Representative for the US Women's National Team Players Association.

YES HELLO HI. timeline of reasons i think the reader is megan ito
season 14: reader makes wyatt quitter and moses mason into receivers. (on its own this would be more of a "reader is wyatt" thing, but the reader showed up before wyatt, and also see below.) and yknow who's the only non-wyatt player known to have staticked,
season 17: reader gives baby doyle an Uncertain Necklace of Entanglement and orville manco a Force Field of Observation. force field, obviously, is associated with parker (though we didn't know that yet at the time). the necklace? alternates its wearer. which, on its own, wouldn't be much for the redstringing, but paired with the force field i absolutely read it as a reference to the megans. reader also does a lot of alternating players in general.
(also, somewhat more tenuously: force field's observation = p4rker. necklace's elsewhere mods = reader?)
season 18: in addition to turntables, reader adds four blessings to the election. Graphene and Open Floor Plan are just their usual m.o. of reducing edensity. but Cape of Containment and Bon Voyage? another reference to the force field, and a mod that procs when a player roams away from your team? absolutely deliberate references to prehistory.
season 19: another four blessings from reader: Moderation, Underhanded, Subtractor, and Go Big? Go Home. all of them have an edensity-reducing effect – but take another look at the latter two. Subtractor and Go Big? Go Home both give a negative mod to a player on another team. THEY'RE FUCKING HEXES.
there's also, in general, the fact that reader was working against the coin, which combined with all the references to prehistory suggest that they have some particular reasons to dislike her.
a lot of this could also be evidence for "reader is parker ii", now i think about it, but imo the wyatt associations point more strongly towards megan. (it doesn't hurt that og megan's pgr is solitaire, either)

I totally forgot I’d started making this last year! I think I never posted it because I wanted to find more names, but there’s already a decent amount and I don’t feel like being that tedious about names right now lol.
It’s first & last names (separated for mix & match potential) of characters from iconic late 1970s & 1980s horror movies. I think I started looking for cheesier B-movies to pull from, but yeah it’s been a whole year so I forget.
