This is my friend TJ, wearing a costume she made for Halloween, 1977. She was 16 at the time.
Now, keep in mind: there was no internet to search for images. She could not have rented and paused the movie, because it wasn’t released on video until 1982. No, TJ just went to the movie a bunch of times, took notes with a flashlight, drew a bunch of sketches, and put this together.
In 19-fucking-77. So let’s bury this bullshit about how women didn’t grow up on Star Wars.
Gets 3 XP for wandering into a corner of my bathroom I’ve technically never set a literal foot in before and I see the floating text ‘DISCOVERED: CHOLERA COLONY’ seemingly appear out of thin air before gently fading away
With Fjord asking Twiggy to share her story I’d like to take a moment to consider all of the other stories and rumors currently being circulated by people who have traveled/interacted with the M9:
They saved a small town from impending doom by gnolls!
They protected a small bird girl and found her a happy new family!
They met a bunch of bandits, pretended they had syphilis, killed their leader, gave them a stern talking to, stole their clothes, and sent them on their merry way (?)
They paid off this family’s debts and allowed them to return to care for their young children!
They met the bandits again, gave them an even sterner talking to, and send them back on their way (??)
They rescued so many people from magical slavers!
They defeated a dragon with friendship!
They told us they were hiring us for a quick trip and then we somehow became pirates and almost died so many times and one of them just kept making really good food and another one kept trying to give us tattoos and there was this cat that was sometimes an octopus and we’re still not sure what that was but we discussed it and we decided just to keep our heads down and not ask because they paid us in jewels that fell out of ball they said was a dragon’s lair and honestly we think they were like trickster gods sent to test us or something we don’t-
