#workin' girls

[bpmbea]

is no one gonna talk about the fact that the only two characters who read "Workin' Girls" as a show about hookers were Grace and Ted, the two most extreme opposite characters?

and like how it completely fits both characters to always think about sex?

a discord buddy wanted to see Emma tormented by Zoey and her theater friends at work, aka why I think Emma deserves to be the murderer in Cast Party Massacre. /hj

Workin' Girls

The thing is, I really don’t think Workin’ Girls really was just a shameless gender swap. It seems to genuinely be the better version of the story. Like, the way Hidgens changed the character names and pronouns (and added “but-for-girls” onto the end of every “football”) while preserving everything else took Workin’ Boys from a bad show with an admittedly great score to a hilarious and pointedly satirical work about the devaluation of femininity in the workplace and financial industry. The Workin’ Girls succeed in business because they behave like stereotypically masculine men. They are women making their way through life (as much as they’d rather just be on their football-but-for-girls field), and their whole big song about what it takes to do so is steeped in phrases that are historically male-aligned (of course, not all men have balls and some or all of the Workin' Girls could actually have balls! We don't know!). Hidgens accidentally created a comedic masterpiece about the plight of women in the workplace and, in a breathtakingly in-character move, simply failed to realize it.

(EDIT AND UPDATE: Yes, and as @yakitori-queen just said in the replies, not to mention all the great gender fuckery!)

New headcanon of mine just dropped

[hailey-dilmore-the-worm]

intro!

Hey! My name is Haley dilmore and I'm a college student working in the theatre production course at the Hatchetfield College!! Most of you probably know me for my recent casting in the brand new working girls coming out soon!!

I'm 20 years old and I'm a roommate of Zoey Chambers the barista at beanie's! I always say she can get a better job than that if she puts the work into it but she doesn't listen..

Anyways I will answer anything you ask or talk to me about and remember, go nighthawks and fuck clivesdale!!

[maybe I'll bring in Zoey as a side character just for some bits and lore ☺️]

[this is a au Hailey btw, she's based off her scrapped nightmare time episode where her stomach problems come from a sentient galactic worm inside her, now that worm has become more smart, and is now a voice inside her head. Along the lines of this, is also one of the many vessels for nibbly because I said so]

OCC:

Hey so it's me Eloise again the maker of @askbloomin and @chasity-belle I figured I'd make a second hatchetfield character blog and tried to find one of the most obscure characters, and words cannot describe how much I love Haley dilmore from starkids workin' boys/honey queen/killer track. So this is just a second account for all that]]

they will need to whipstitch the wound closed, but embroidery is a "woman's" task. they will need to eat and clean and mend clothes, but why learn basic things when you can have a woman measure out your life in beads. he will be the "head" of your house, but if you want him to act accordingly, you must assign him a list of all applicable activities. you will be otherwise constantly in charge of almost-everything; so he will lead the house he is absent from.

in movies and books, the "cool" girl will be more-like-a-man. she will be "less boring," more "fun". she will have masculine ideas and masculine talents, which means a man doesn't have to change in order to find her fascinating. she will disdain of something as simple as stitching. how boring!

she will kick open the door of a car and quip what, girls can't drive? and flip her long hair down one side. she will grill and shoot a gun and skydive. be a guy. she will be sexualized.

somewhere, working on computers becomes a masculine task, and now on tv a gen-z disney character throws her hands up in the air. i can't be a computer science nerd, i'm a girl! in the real life, she will be unable to sit through some of her classes, shivering when she realizes she is the only woman present in several of them.

how many times have you read this book and seen this show and watched this movie. the singular woman is allowed 5 lines because she's not just smart! she's also pretty! she is surrounded by 20 average men, but she is stunning. she is the exception to the bland, pale lives of women-at-home, who will never be shown. she likes dirt and motorbikes and blood and shows up in a tiny dress during the final scene, rolling her eyes at our male lead's incredulity - just because i like motorcross doesn't mean anything. i'm still a woman, okay? i actually like shopping.

it is almost never reversed, and you think about that often. it is vanishingly rare to have a single man in a cast of women. the male love interest does not show up at a feminist march and sardonically squint at our leading lady - what? you thought only women care about human rights? he does not know how to balance a checkbook or kickbox because i grew up with three sisters.

when he cooks he is a chef, which is sexy. when he cleans, he's being kind, genteel. when he nurtures his family, confetti rains from the ceiling. when she does these things: it is her duty and her identity. what do you mean she has other passions and hobbies? isn't her hobby and passion homemaking?

the other day a friend embroidered a seam closed on your jacket into the shape of ivy. every time you touch it, you think of her.

something about women's hobbies and art and skills. something about women's work.

I love both of these nerds so much, they are unhinged sillies. I feel like they have a love/hate friendship.
