Get your gay on! - Jem and the Holograms #4

[icon_uk]

Congratulations to the USA! Three days since the SCOTUS made their historic ruling, and you still haven't all be struck down by divine lightning yet! (Clearly you're just not trying hard enough, so you know what they say "Practice! Practice! Practice!!)

And to celebrate, three pages from Jem and the Holograms #4





It's like Romeo and Juliet... except with powerchords and lesbians, and hopefully a lower mortality rate.

When last we left our ill starred pairing, it was all hinging on a text from Kimber )of the Holograms) to Stormer (of The Misfits)

And how did that turn out?

(and my apologies in advance for the scans which are not my best work and which the art deserves so much more than)





Oh dear.....













But wait!




Cue cheesey/inspirational movie smooching music!

I'm confused. They are into each other. Big time. So much it's causing them both trouble with their bands. (Not that the Holograms know that Kimber's latest girl is Stormer, but she keeps scheduling their meet-ups when she's supposed to be doing shit (oh, good goddess, Kimber IS Romeo). The Misfits do know, though.)

I think it's more that we introduce two gay characters and instantly they become an item, rather than show them as having other partners and maybe coming together further down the line.

Indeed. Although... if Kimber and Stormer WERE gay but NOT into each other, there wouldn't be much conflict or tension. But this is a bit quick.

The like has happened before. On "Buffy," Willow and Tara got together so fast some fans thought Tara was an "imaginary friend" Willow inadvertently created. (And this was years before Loki suggested the same thing about Billy and Teddy in YOUNG AVENGERS.)

Also, about "There are four lesbians in the DCU and they all dated each other." I can never remember the fourth lesbian. Rene Montoya, Kate Kane, Maggie Sawyer and... Toby Raines? Maybe?

In that particular foursome, I have no idea, but generally speaking in the DCU, there'd be Grace and Thunder in the Outsiders (Though Grace is bi, she mentions she has sex with men, but has relationships with women), Harley and Ivy... kinda...a number of Amazons.

I agree that it all happens quickly, but I think that the rush works from a character standpoint. Kimber is implied to get attached quickly and the only relationships of Stormer's that we've seen are toxic, thus it makes sense she'd be hungry for affection. What will make or break the relationship for me is how it's treated going forward. With the will-they-or-won't-they out of the way, there's plenty of room for the conflicts that would naturally arise not only from the "forbidden love" element of the relationship but from the two of them only knowing each other from social media and a chat over coffee.
