So I inflicted the extended cut of Stripes on @antsyserpentine while he was out in orbit, and we both first saw Bill Murray and Harold Ramis in Ghostbusters, which makes Stripes at least a 1,000% funnier to us.
But also, the first time I watched it and THIS showed up??
1, I absolutely LOST ALL OF MY SHIT laughing, and 2, immediately thought of this from the IDW comics.
And then proceeded to die inside bc hjesus fucking christ in a handbag I would HIT THAT with extreme prejudice.
That floof and the aviator-style glasses is Peak 70s but also hot, no I do not take criticism.
This better not awaken anything in me.

OTHER PERSONAL INFO:
During her sophomore year of college, she met literature student Jonathan Seibert. They dated for about a year before they got engaged. Unfortunately, in 1979, as they were driving from the airport to Martha's childhood home, they were hit by a drunk driver. Jonathan was instantly killed while Martha survived. As she had been driving the car at the time, she blamed herself for his death and her grief deeply affected her future relationship with Ray.
After the car accident, Martha began suffering from chronic pain in her left knee. She regularly attends physical therapy to help cope.
Martha originally wanted to be a doctor, but decided to pursue nursing instead in order to please her father, who was very old-fashioned and whom she admired. After receiving her nursing degree, she had trouble finding an open position in a hospital and took a job as a school nurse.
Jonathan's nickname for her, "Titania," came from the faerie queen in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
She had been selected from birth as an emissary and a vessel for Tiamat; following Tiamat's defeat, she broke things off with Ray (whom she didn't know was planning on proposing to her) out of both guilt for her actions under Tiamat's control and because she still hadn't fully grieved Jonathan's death. She moved to Paris for a fresh start, attending medical school there, and has lived in France ever since.
INSPIRATION: Empress Elisabeth of Austria (Elisabeth das Musical), Emily Grace (Murdoch Mysteries), Jenny Moran (Ghostbusters - IDW Comics), Martha Jones (Doctor Who), Elliot Stabler (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit), Ava Bekker (Chicago Med), Karen Vick (Psych), Izzie Stevens (Grey's Anatomy), Wanda Maximoff (Marvel Cinematic Universe)
