Ok you know what, the level of lesbianism of this part of Higher Further Faster (Palmer 2019) deserves its own post. Also, my post with the front cover is taking off but just look at the illustration of Maria on the back cover:
So. This is the emotional climax of the official Captain Marvel tie-in prequel novel:
That’s right, an angsty Danbeau love confession is the core of Carol Danvers’s backstory! Marvel published this!
And then, Carol gets in an anxiety spiral about not deserving Maria:
But not too long after, they reconcile, reiterating their love in a calmer moment:
Oh yeah, and they were roommates.
And this! This is the turning point of Carol’s character arc!
This is what defines her character for the final chapters: the knowledge that she’s found someone who makes her feel safe and loved and happy. Hello?!
And they don’t even no-homo it by calling themselves sisters until like 3 chapters later. This book makes me unhinged and I’m probably gonna write an essay about it but like. My god. This part is just another level.

Me: *sprinting into class late* Sorry! I've had a killer migrane and fainted twice yesterday, so last night and this morning have been all out of wack.
Prof: ...Wait you fainted yesterday? Twice?!
Me: Yeah, one of them was in the middle of class even.
Classmate, who was sitting with me yesterday: When? How didn't anyone notice?
Me: Yeah, when I was in cadets I got in trouble for fainting, so I learned how to do so without drawing any attention. Sometimes I don't even fall over anymore.
Prof: ...congratulations, that is the most terrifying sentence I have ever heard.

Once upon a time there were only three (3) Cambridges: HRH Wills, HRH Catherine & HRH little Georgie
On July 8th 2016 HRH Prince George marked his upcoming 3rd birthday with his very first official UK Engagement.
The little prince accompanied his parents to the Royal International Air Tattoo in Gloucestershire.This air show at RAF Fairford is the largest event of its kind in the world. The celebrations mark the 75th anniversary of RAF Air Cadets, of which HRH Catherine is Honorary Air Commandant.
Although this is an official work day for my mum, Air Commandant HRH Catherine, as the only child in family, it is my duty to ensure that she sees & tests out EVERYTHING at my first air show.
We arrived and mum thanked everyone on behalf of Gan Gan, and for the family. People are watching us all over the world. On social media, some mums are upset about my attire. Please, someone take this msg to the editor over at that DM.
"No, I Prince George do not feel cold or chilly. It's humid today and I feel comfortable. How nice of you strangers to offer advice to mum and dad. Come see for yourselves."
First Stop: Up the steps and inside the Royal Australian Air Force C-130 Hercules aircraft. This is more than a plane, it's a flying house!
I met a nice pilot who held me in front of the open cockpit window so I could wave to our people.
Something odd happened to mum. I figured out how to climb back into the window and I raised my voice to talk to my people. Although I was holding on tightly, mum's face changed and her voice changed too. She yelled my name and told me to "come down out of that window!"
Pa called her a momma bear and although the pilot thought it was funny, we cut our Hercules tour short for safety precautions.
That's ok, I gave the house in the sky "Air Force C-130 Hercules" a thumbs up: kid tested & George approved.👍
Kid tested George approve 👍 More aircraft waiting to explore. Let's Go!
My EARS! My GUMS! My Ear Defenders! This level of noise was beyond anything I've ever experienced, except on the BP balcony. I'm teething & this noise hurts!Please excuse me while I scream for help. Someone get me outta here! Hurt! Hurt!
Dad was right. Those Defenders helped me cope and then cuddles with mum made everything all better. We share a special bond. I'm her little koala bear.
Dad's turn to have fun with Georgie. He showed me the Squirrel helicopter and the cockpit of a Red Arrow Hawk! Cool toys for me to play when I'm taller.
I had a grand time showing mum & dad the sights & sounds at the annual air show. Kid tested, George approved 👍
