On a CERTAIN revelation about IDW's upcoming Jem and the Holograms comic...

Hey, who's this Campbell guy to just say things that... that... that are none of his business!

(((Well, the part of the point is that she's going to be proudly out, you know.)))

Well, bully for 2015 me. It's not so easy in 1987. How... how could they tell anyway?

(((Even the neighbor's cat can tell you're gay, Stormer. Even on a children's cartoon, it's pretty fucking obvious.)))

It is not!

(((You keep a picture of her by your BED.)))

It's totally reasonable to keep pictures of your friends and family in your house!

(((You don't even have pictures of your brother anywhere in your house, or the Misfits or Kimber would have noticed them)))

[looking away] My... nightstand is the only flat surface in my house and there only room for one picture?

...

Fine.

[sniffs, crosses arms] Misfits aren't supposed to care what other people think anyway.

(((Atta girl.)))

You were always more than just a Misfit.

[she knows Jem's trying to compliment her, but she can't let her off that easily by just accepting it, so she smirks] No Misfit is ever "just" anything!

And neither am I.

[songbirdjem]

You're better than them, Stormer. Kimber has told me.

[She smiles in return. She doesn't expect her to let her walls down easily.]

Kimber's better than the Holograms. She's got way more talent than anyone will ever notice as long as she's standing behind you.

But, she's made her choice. And so have I.

[songbirdjem]

[Jem knows that she is right, even if she doesn't want to admit it so much. Kimber should get more of the spotlight and she doesn't.]

Choices were made, but why does it have to be us versus them? You can play with them without following Pizzazz blindly.

Our bands declared truce at Ba Nee's going away party. Isn't that enough?

And my eyes are wide open, Jem, trust me.
