Casey and Rainbows

So since episode one, I have felt like Casey maybe LGBT+, although given her Dads it is very possible she is just an ally. But just a few things of note;

1. When she gives Lunella her card during the first episode, it is one stripe short of a Pride Flag.

2. During the sleepover episode she has a Pride Flag sleeping bag.

3. In “Coney Island Baby” she says that she always eats something colourful before going on rides so if she vomits it is rainbow coloured.

Girl really likes rainbows to the point I feel she is hinting at something. Like I say, she may simply be an ally, especially considering her Dads but this isn’t simply the only reason I think she is LGBT+.

Like there is the way she initially acts around Lunella, however this can be put down to the fact she is socially awkward and then of course in “Today I Am a Woman”, one of her Dads saying that Moon Girl is “a keeper”.

I’ll give at this stage it is relatively weak evidence, but it is stuff I can’t help but notice none the less.

Is there any jewish peeps who watched the bat mitzvah episode willing to give me a rundown? Loved it but understood none of the Yiddish and there's no transcript out for me to self-translate.

When I talk about something bad I've experienced, Baked In to my experience as A Woman, I am not "making my little cousins feel like shit for being women", because I am talking in a space with, allegedly, adults. I am not bringing my problems to children in the first place. That said, I don't HAVE to make my baby cousin feel bad, because she's already experienced sexual harassment in her life, and she's only 8, and doesn't even understand what any of it means yet. And everyone in her family can try to instill confidence in her, and never talk about our bodies in a negative way. But she can still feel like she's too chubby, because she still goes to school, and talks to other kids and their parents, and still sees ads, and still watches tv. We can be positive, but we can't fix the root of the problem. And I don't HAVE to tell trans women that "pain is a rite of passage", because that's not a Rule being enforced (by me), because I've already sat and listened to my friend complain about constantly shaving as a Baseline necessity and how it hurts her skin and she has to put makeup onto fresh cuts on her face because going out without a full face of properly feminine makeup would make her life worse, and being anything less than thin and lithe makes her "less feminine", and ALL the things that can make her "more feminine" are behind a paywall. And I can try to make her feel better, and I can hear her experiencing the tenfold version of problems I relate to, but I can't fix the root cause of her problems by just telling her not to complain. Forcing happiness as a core personality trait for women is not the Girlboss Feminist move that you think it is, and no amount of gender euphoria in the world will make you immune to systemic oppression.

He kept us outside. But he kept everyone outside. When he let you in... when the sun shone... it was warm. Yeah. It was really... It was warm in the light. But it was hard to be his daughter. I can't not... You know, he was... hard on women. He couldn't fit a whole woman in his head. But he did okay. You did okay, Dad. We're all here and we're doing okay. We're doing okay. So, goodbye my dear, dear world of a father.

“Today I Am a Woman” (Spoilers)

So Season 1 of a show tends to be my gathering my thoughts stage to really get a feel for the show and any theories I might have.

I really do like the focus on chosen family in this episode. Early on Casey’s Dads discussing their wedding and saying while it was small it was great to be surrounded by their “chosen family”.

Later in the episode, when Casey realises that her focus on making her Bat Mitzvah the best party ever has caused her to push away her friend and overshadowed what it should be about. She in this moment mentions “chosen family” and how in that moment, her best friend Lunella is missing.

Chosen family is a big thing in the LGBT+ community. We don’t always have the acceptance of our families and therefore we seek acceptance and support from our friends, friends who in time become our chosen family. The family who accepts us for who we are and not who they desire for us to be.

With the backdrop that Casey’s Dads are LGBT+ and the fact this reference to chosen family first came up in the context of their wedding, I really like the way it was brought up and used.

While both Casey and Lunella have families who love and accept them for who they are, both characters are shown to be socially awkward in their own individual ways. Both admit to not really having friends.

Lunella seems to bury herself in science and academic stuff, while Casey seems to get a sense of belonging and approval through her role as a social media influencer. In each other they have found friendship though and given the two of them don’t easily make friends, I can see how they’d be each others chosen family.

Adding to that last point though, I do like how this explores Casey’s seeming addiction to how people view her online. It kinda blocks out her connection to the outside world in this instance. I feel it kinda parallels a bit with the episode where Lunella is playing chest against that AI and ends up being obsessed with winning, in her obsession she ends up blocking out the fact the AI wants an equal they can make a connection with.

Also, I’d be remiss if I didn’t bring up one of Casey’s Dads saying that Moon Girl is “a keeper”. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t ship Lunella and Casey a lil bit. Like it isn’t a ship I’m overly invested in, as I think they work fantastic as friends but the first episode did seem to hint at it initially.
