Our February theme is Squad Goals! With the release of DC’s Birds of Prey and Galentine’s day on February 13th, we wanted to celebrate the friendships that inspire us and make the IGGPPC such a warm community. The IGGPPC Staff got together to chat about their favorite fictional squads and their perfect Galentine’s brunch.

Joanna

Who is your favorite fictional squad? Is it the Sailor Scouts? The Pawnee Goddesses? The Babysitter’s Club? Someone else?

I have so many that it’s hard to pick just one! I love the Sailor Scouts, but Nancy with George and Bess from the old school Nancy Drew novels! And I have to give some love to the ladies in the recent Birds of Prey movie, they were fantastic!

 

Make your own squad! Who do you want on your team? Pick 4 fictional characters or historical figures to make up your five-person team.

Oooh this is hard! Granny Weatherwax from Discworld, because we need somebody with wit and magic who won’t take nonsense. Melinda May from Agents of SHIELD, because we need somebody who can kick butts and teach us to better take care of ourselves. Leia from Star Wars, because we need a strategist who thinks on her feet and who knows the value of both delegation and doing it yourself. Dr. Martha Jones from Doctor Who, because we need someone compassionate and smart and who asks the right questions.

 

Galentine’s Day (February 13th) is usually celebrated with brunch. What’s on the menu of your dream Galentine’s brunch?

I like the classic– brunch! But I’m happy having it for dinner, if that’s what my gal pals want to do! My best brunch changes because sometimes I want sweet and sometimes I want savory but if I ordered night *now* I’d want waffles with mimosas and chocolate strawberries.

Kim

Who is your favorite fictional squad? Is it the Sailor Scouts? The Pawnee Goddesses? The Babysitter’s Club? Someone else?

The Golden Girls. Proof that friendship has no age boundaries. (And..Betty White…duh!)

 

Make your own squad! Who do you want on your team? Pick 4 fictional characters or historical figures to make up your five-person team.

Fictional list: Sorynn (my Skyrim character), Agatha Heterodyne (Girl Genius webcomic), Alexia Tarabotti (Parasol Protectorate series), Kalinda Zacharias (The Hundredth Queen series). I suspect Kalinda and Alexia will try each others patience, and Kalinda will grow tired of Alexia’s snarkiness. Sorynn and Kalinda will compare their magical abilities – Sorynn will become jealous of Kalinda’s ability to conjure her soul fire into pets. Agatha and Alexia will become great friends as they’re both blue stockings and Agatha can mend Alexia’s parasol and other gadgetry. Historical list: Jane Austen, Kate Warne, Rachel Carson, and Hedy Lamarr

 

Galentine’s Day (February 13th) is usually celebrated with brunch. What’s on the menu of your dream Galentine’s brunch?

Perfect eggs benedict, bottomless mimosas, and lots of fresh fruit. Did I mention mimosas?
