I'm seriously going to need to rewatch The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel soon, because that final season? FUCKING. FANTASTIC.
after so many disappointments when it comes to female characters' arcs this show (that I enjoyed but wouldn't have claimed among my favourites) has truly delivered for Midge and Susie, and Midge&Susie, beyond my expectations.
so, yeah, I'll definitely want to watch it again and see how everything holds up in light of this.

I'm finding myself becoming invested in Midge and Susie from Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and I think it's because it's just nandermo but make them sapphics in the 50s/60s and dial down the toxicity to like 2%

my most problematic doll take i think is that is there legitimately nothing wrong with your doll line all using the same mold/having the same body type its like people forgot the functional real world reason for that is so. the dolls can share clothes so kids can have a big bucket of doll clothes and make little mismatched outfits and play dress up. because. they're fashion dolls.

"A spotlight waits for you center stage. All you have to do is step up and claim it. Once you do, everyone will know who you are. They will know your wit, your intellect, your smile. Your great expressive eyes. They will be helpless to your charms. They will fall at your feet and worship at the altar of you and your show corset."
- The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, 5x09

Rose and Abe insisting on meeting Lenny now that midge is dating him - even though they’ve already met
"This is insane, we all know that, don't we?"
"It isn't insane to want to meet the man you're dating, Miriam," Rose points out.
"But you know him," Midge argues gently. "You bailed him out of jail. Papa calls Lenny on the phone more than I do some weeks."
"Yes, but we know him as a friend of your father's," Rose says evenly. "This is an entirely different context."
Midge takes a breath and then lets it out slowly as she pulls the brisket from the oven. "Well. He's never had my brisket before, so at least he'll get to try it."
"You see? That's a very positive spin," Rose praises her.
The knock on the door gets both of their attention.
"I'll get it!" Abe cries.
"Oh, my god," Midge mutters. "I swear I should just step aside and let Papa date Lenny."
"Miriam!"
"He would be very happy, Lenny is a very generous lover," Midge goes on with out thinking.
"Miriam," Rose snaps.
"Did I say that out loud?"
****
"So, Lenny, where are you from originally?" Rose asks as they four of them sit down to eat in the dining room.
"Long Island," he replies, looking up from his plate.
"Oh, how nice," Rose says mildly.
"Not especially," Lenny admits, earning him a light knee squeeze from Midge.
"Did you see that drivel in the Post the other week?" Abe asks.
"What that garbage piece about how civil rights is bad for democracy?" Lenny asks. "I did. How the hell did that even see print? What is wrong with people?"
"I wish I knew," Abe grouses. "I wrote an opposition to it, but they refuse to print it, they said it was too emotional, and there weren't enough facts."
"As if passion is somehow bad," Lenny grumbles.
"Exactly! Passion is supposed to be good, that's what's supposed to move us forward is the passion to do so, and yet..."
"This coming from a former math teacher," Midge teases.
"You just don't understand, Miriam," Abe scolds.
"Of course I do," Midge grins. "They don't want to print someone's soapbox speech. They want people to know why civil rights is important; why Jim Crow laws are bad. Not just that they are. You know how to fact-find. Keep the passion, add the facts."
Lenny gazes at her, a smile quirking his lips.
"I...suppose it couldn't hurt to edit the piece," Abe concedes.
Midge shrugs. "Just a thought."
Lenny keeps gazing at her for a long moment, before turning back to his plate. "This brisket is really quite something."
"Miriam has always been very good in the kitchen," Rose boasts.
"My Zeyde taught me," Midge tells him. "That man knew how to cook. Not great with fire safety though. Excellent latkes if the house didn't burn down."
Lenny laughs at that, as Rose and Abe give each other a knowing glance.
"So, Lenny," Rose says. "Where are you living these days?"

*oliver twist/charles dickens orphan boy voice* please dany i want some more…. in depth lore posts about your call of cthulhu hotties 🥺🙏🥣 background, career, personal relationships, fears, etc 🦑
Tumblr media
MIDGE, born Marjorie, is a librarian at Miskatonic who also now owns her family's antique store. She's 34 as of 1926 and her main goal in life is to discover why her parents were murdered in that very antique store fourteen years prior. She was a fencer in her youth, still keeping up with the practice; she's quite adept. She studied medieval history at Miskatonic and got lucky to be employed in the library there once she graduated. She employs people to run the antique store (Tales Retold, or just the Templeton Antique Store) while she works or is off researching. As of right now in our timeline, she's in Berlin, following a lead on her parents' deaths and getting into all sorts of culty trouble with Wilhelmina Engel (belonging to @newbordeaux). She speaks fluent German and owns a lot of scary artifacts, the vast majority of which she knows nothing about.
Tumblr media
DOVE is a gun moll through and through. She's 25 as of 1926 and lives a life of fun and vice, and she loves it. She met her gangster boyfriend, Elias, three years ago and whether it's a lifetime sorta thing is yet to be seen...but as of now, she loves him and she loves his money (yes, separately), especially since she came from poor stock in Providence. She has an older sister called Birdie that she still talks to, and she sends letters to her parents on occasion, but for the most part she can be found in her fancy apartment or in the numerous speakeasies she frequents, with or without Elias. She got brought into the horrors when she was called to New York to help with a distant relative's legal case...turns out she's heir-bound to a centuries-old blood curse that requires her to wear a special ring at all times lest she release a dimensional being hellbent on killing her and all of her relatives. All of that, and she didn't even get the curse's benefits.
Tumblr media
GERRY, born Geraldine, is a sweet waitress who moonlights as a singer, but she's no flapper. She's a farm girl, young at 21 in 1926, who comes from a huge family in Missouri, and she escaped as soon as she could. She came to Arkham because it was as far as she could afford. Her singing name is Billie Dove, and that coincidence is how she befriended Dove, who frequents the bar that Gerry sings at every couple weeks. She lives in a boarding house, scraping by with tips from the diner and what she earns singing. Safiya (@newbordeaux) is her best friend, and they met when she came into Gerry's diner; that is, the diner Gerry works at, which is luckily owned by a kind man called Charles. She found a weird bag of marbles there once, and she'll probably learn one day that they're cursed as she continues down the path of horror and terror that Safiya started by mistake, visiting a house that proved to be both haunted and cursed. She's seen a previous crush and neighbor flay himself alive then turn into a monstrous creature, so she's a little unlucky in love.
Tumblr media
STEVIE, born Stephanie, is Gerry's great-granddaughter with Arthur (another of @newbordeaux). Her hobbies are photography (her mother is a professional), cooking, and her rifle. She's 26 in 2019, the year of The Horrors with her best friend, Selena (again, @newbordeaux). They know that their great-grandmothers (Gerry and Safiya) knew each other, but they don't know about The Prior Horrors quite yet. She and Selena met as middle schoolers and became fast friends. In high school they started an early-years YouTube channel, full of cringey stuff... After graduating college they decided to revisit their YouTube channel, becoming urban explorers. She's a park ranger at Muskana Reservoir (former site of Dunwich, among other towns, as well as many horrors) so she has access to a lot of creepy places. They're quite successful with their channel, and it's one of these expeditions that leads to their experiencing of the nightmare. Cults of the color out of space and sunken Dunwich buildings and old cursed texts are what await her and Selena. She shouldn't have done so much research on cryptids during her college years.

Honestly, I don't think Midge should end up with of the boyfriends/husbands we've seen her with
I think midge having several marriages, none of them lasting, while Susie is the platonic great love of her life would be an absolutely fitting end for this character

in honor of barbie movie, i dug my Midge ™ out of my parents’ shed so i could show you all just how she worked if you’ve never witnessed it in action
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
as you can see, Midge has a magnetic pregnancy belly that contours to her unpregnant body
Tumblr media
now inside the pregnancy belly of course is the barbie baby. it comes right out, no vagina to exit through. and if you look closely you can see that her underwear is also painted across the bottom of the belly. there is no mistaking this for a woman with any genitalia. just underwear.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
here is the baby within the belly. i don’t think either of these is the correct way a baby should sit in a uterus but do i look like a fucking doctor to you?
Tumblr media
the clearly very happy mother and child. and discarded magnetic belly. with underwear band.

Background
Tumblr media
A background gag where Pop Tate slings some ice cream onto the head of a customer initially gets botched by the colorist, not paying attention.
Tumblr media
Fixed in post.
A little bit puzzled. It looks like it would hit Reggie, but that disrupts the narrative -- unless Reggie is really quick at clearing his head of ice cream between panels -- and besides we move to an oversized red sweater instead of a fitted red jacket.
