Losing my mind that Simon doesn't get along with any of Jess's friends

#its actually very funny to me actually #like he has beef with literally all her friends #cyborg??? the flash??? check and check #havent made it to the jl rebirth run yet and who knows if theyll remember this then but I NEED these dynamics to still be in place then #vic not liking simon.... simon not liking vic bc vic doesnt like simon #simon not liking BARRY #ALSO EARLY DAYS SIMONJESS PARTNERSHIP JESS NOT LIKING SIMON #wait this is actually so funny to me... does no one like simon #think his only friends at this point in time may be guy b'dg and like hawkman which is actually HILARIOUS to me. #man cannot make a good first impression to save his life #honestly thats like the elevator pitch for most of his plots tbh #like how finding nemo is 'fish gets lost they look for him' simon's is 'man makes bad first impression trouble ensues' #does simon have any other friends at this point in time lol im thinking #uhhh stargirl kind of? she worries abt him in that one panel #GREEN ARROW. hes friends with cursed goateeless ollie a little bit #ahdosudshu this is SO funny to me actually. nu52 simon has 3 friends (who are all wildly unpopular) and an animal sidekick #oh and nobody on the justice league can stand him. i love this man #simonjess #blah #simon baz #swishy liveblogs

also i got too distracted by the butterfly tattoo to realise this as i was reading it but i just realised that when maia is first introduced, she explicitly mentions she doesn't like to wear dresses and even goes as far to wear cargo pants to a formal event (the celebration at the end of CoG). simon also considers this one of the main contrasts between her and isabelle, who dresses hyperfeminine even when it's not exactly appropriate.

HOWEVER, then the next time we see maia at a formal event (luke's engagement party), she IS wearing a dress! at first it kind of struck me as odd and i just thought it was a plot hole lol but then i realised that after they found out simon was two-timing them, maia and isabelle hung out a lot and became quite close, meaning it was likely isabelle who got her to be more comfortable in feminine clothing :') very sweet

#also izzy calls her 'totally babelicious' (iconic) which absolutely seems like the thing she would say about an outfit she picked out dfghdk #overall i loved it that isabelle and maia's first response was to unionise against simon #isabelle also literally hates kyle bc he wronged maia even though she doesnt know him at all #why did feminism kind of win #vic reads tmi #tmi #tsc
