I think John Gaius successfully utilized girlpower when he fixed global warming and quality of life inequality, and brought his favorite childhood toy to life, all in the span of one day. Absolutely no further details or points to be said about how he did any of that

He solved wealth inequality, fixed overpopulation, and took care of the issue of rising housing prices in the city of Melbourne. He became the de facto leader of the most powerful democracy on earth and dismantled capitalism. He found the answer to several metaphysical questions that have fascinated humanity for centuries, such as “Is there such thing as a soul?” and “Does Pluto count as a planet?” He also ate the sun.

Nobody’s doing it like him

#from a strictly literal standpoint ‘successfully utilizing girlpower’ IS how he did all that  @megparsec

Excerpt from Nona the Ninth. Born in the Morning protested, “I did throw a rock and it did die,” and Nona said, “What, the rock?” at which the others paused in order to jeer at her.ALT

not the dead rock getting ragged on for asking whether the rock had died lmao

Gideon propaganda: It’s about puzzles, it’s about enemies to friends, it’s about teamwork, it’s about elaborate and possibly unnecessary deception, it’s about missing the plot because you’re too busy working out and being hot, it’s about being a butch lesbian

Harrow propaganda: It’s about unreliable narrators, it’s about not knowing who to trust, it’s about soup, it’s about cool skeleton aesthetics, it’s about missing the plot because you’re sleep deprived and hallucinating, it’s about being a sopping wet cat of a lesbian

Nona propaganda: It’s about identity, it’s about childhood, it’s about friendship, it’s about unconventional family dynamics, it’s about petting dogs, it’s about missing the plot because you haven’t been a person for very long and you’re too busy trying to eat rocks, it’s also about being a lesbian

Alecto propaganda: it’s about religion, it’s about being a barbie girl, it’s about being a barbie world, it’s about devotion, it’s about revenge, at a guess it’s probably about being a lesbian
