Talking Meme Day 7: We Are Lady Parts

There's gonna be an S2! :D

It comes as no surprise that my favorite dynamic is the one between Amina and Saira. That a focused, rough-edges Saira immediately goes "that one. we need her." the first time she sees Amina play and isn't even dissuaded by the anxiety-vomit, retaining that conviction through all the nonsense that happens during S1. That a high-strung self-and-peer-bound-by-rules Amina responds well to this, and to this opportunity to have friendships she can actually be honest in. They each have their own brand of ridiculous emotional repression, compared to the other three in the band, but the flipside seems to be bigger dreams - how over-the-top Amina's imagine spots are, for instance - and an intensity that somehow works together, though it's still finding it's footing. We see a bit of everyone's family, but I believe these two are the only ones we see parents for, and man, the painfulness of that contrast.

Really liked the way the terrible article had attacks tailored to each member of the band, in ways that got to their insecurities and erased the nuance of their work. Of course that'd be an easy clickbait article to do, and of course each of them would recoil in different ways.

My favourite song is Voldemort Under My Headscarf, but honorable mention goes to I'm Gonna Kill My Sister, for how Saira's past shades it differently in retrospect.
