Me After Remembering That Karen And Gretchen Were Holding Hands/linking Arms All Throughout The Whole

me after remembering that karen and gretchen were holding hands/linking arms all throughout the whole runtime of i’d rather be me whenever they were onscreen

NEW YEJISU FAN CONTENT RAHHHH /POS

Hockey au yejisu captivated me. silly little bffs. anyways lia was (as expected) the hardest to draw (it still doesn’t look like her but I’m giving up for now. Someday I will redraw this and it will be good but. Cutting my losses for now.)

Hockey au, as always, comes from @lonewolflink (it’s called wheel, snipe, celly on ao3)(read it)

kang yuna is so meh like she’s hot but that’s about it

about karen shetty’s sexuality

now that the new mean girls movie has established janis as being officially and canonically a lesbian, the door has been opened for other characters in the same universe to also be queer. the most popular contender is regina george, played by the openly lesbian artist, reneé rapp.

reneé rapp has been open on her stance that regina george was a lesbian and it’s interesting to watch the movie and to see how that stance bled into her performance.

but, like, what does that have to do with avantika’s character, karen shetty? quite a bit, actually.

in the original movie, karen is portrayed as being very promiscuous, almost to a fault. however, she’s only ever shown being attracted to men. in the new movie, this isn’t the case- at least, it seems that way.

it’s a minor plot thread throughout the 2024 movie that karen has slept with 11 “people.” not guys or men specifically. both gretchen and regina say that karen has slept with 11 people. from this, it’s reasonable to assume that she’s been with girls, guys, and maybe even people in between. and avantika seems to agree.

“if you tell me karen is anything but pansexual, i have beef with you,” is what avantika said in an interview. avantika’s karen is a “pansexual queen.”

so that’s that. karen, well karen shetty at least, is semi-canonically pansexual. i find that this element of her character is often overlooked. mostly because it’s not well-known in the first place. it’s unknown whether or not avantika even played karen with that in mind.

regardless, i think this is ostensibly a good thing. that the new mean girls movie is inherently queer speaks to an audience that may not have fully connected with the original film. that karen is pansexual, janis is officially a lesbian, and damian is gay opens the doors for other queer characters to have a place in mean girls, a movie and franchise that was previously incredibly straight.

to put it simply, karen is sapphic now. and i think that’s pretty cool.

ouuuuuu ourkay thanku ^_^

Mean Girls Ships and the Adaptation Where they had the most Chemistry

(most <- least)

Btw, I forgot some of the shipnames

Cadaron:

Musical ≈ 2004 movie ≠ 2024 Movie

2024 Cadaron was so boring. I'm sorry :(

Rejanis:

2004 movie <- Musical = 2024 movie

The tension is always there, some just do it better

Gretgina (is that their ship name????):

Musical <- 2024 movie = 2004 movie

Cadnis:

Musical <- 2024 movie <- 2004 movie

Cadina:

2024 movie ≈ 2004 movie = musical

They always b fruity for no reason

Fetchen:

Musical <- 2024 movie = 2004 movie

In my mind, they graduated and got married after college .

Bonus Cady rarepairs:

Cadchen:

Musical <- 2004 movie <- 2024 movie (they didn't hit. Sorry :(( )

Cadaren:

(hot take!!!) 2004 movie <- musical <- 2024 movie
