last thread got lost in the /m/assacre >>182721.
Post all forms of media centering women and their relationship with each other. Spam images, movies, music, books, manga/anime, games, etc, that:
>Inspires you to connect with another woman.
>Highlights the unique struggles of female social dynamics.
>Features feel good girl gang shenanigans!
Some anons on here, including me, grew up under-socialized with our sex, and/or suffered trauma by women. So we may have trouble forming female relationship as an adult. Through media, let us heal, romanticize and examine all aspects of woman-to-woman friendship, sisterhood, bonds, and solidarity ♥
This thread focuses on the platonic or familial, but romantic subtext/ambiguity is fine.

Derry Girls is so comforting to watch. I'm not Irish, but I love the dynamics between the girls. Now, I'm really excited because in looking for an image, I found out season 3 has started airing!

>>203006I freaking love Girlfriends. It's incredibly funny and the characters feel very human. I even like the main male character because he has every ridiculous moid trait scaled up to 10 for laughs. If you like sitcoms please give it a watch!

I'm here to bring up weeb shit. I really liked Tohru, Saki and Arisa's friendship in Fruits Basket, I wish it was more prominent but the story focuses on the Soma family drama after some point so yeah… The girls in Jellyfish Princess also gave me a similar vibe but I only read the beginning of the manga and watched the anime. I should keep reading this one.
I always like Nana and Hachi's relationship in Nana, when I was reading it in middle and high school. But I recently started rereading this as a late 20s woman and now they give me a very different impression. I know the story tries to make you understand how Nana is so codependent and how Hachi's decisions means she spends less time with Nana but I thought it was some melodramatic scenes. Now I think their relationship is a bit more fucked up. Their lives would have been easier if they finally got some common sense and decided to date kek but that's another debate and Hachi is too retarded to date anyone anyway.

>>203071I have such great memories of Girlfriends! Ty, I think I'm gonna rewatch now.
>>203313Lol, I'm sure we're all in the same boat. But tbh I still smiled when Samantha texted her in the end. I love so many things about how SATC portrayed their friendships, but I really love Samantha so much as an adult. Everyone talks about how funny and out there she is, but today I'm really struck by how she clearly gets the importance of female friendship when I rewatch. Men are for fun for her, but women are the people she depends on for the real meat of life. I love how 100% capable she is helping clean up the carnage of the wedding in the movie, that's the kind of friend I aspire to be to the women in my life

Did anyone watch PEN15? How was it? I wanted to check it out because the main characters look so much like myself and my bff during middle school. I just found out they ended the series due to COVID so I'm kinda bummed, was hoping to get into a long running series

I saw this go viral and it made me nostalgic. I have some issues with totally spies but the friendship between the 3 main characters is not one of them. I miss girl power cartoons like winx or w.i.t.c.h. because they always focused on female friendships.

K-On! It's an adorable show and I only recently found out (through here) that scrotes like it or whatever? Tbh I only caught a glimpse of that discussion and moved on because I hate having my parade shit on. It's a cute fucking show. I would had loved having a friend group like that in school but instead of music we'd be an art group and instead of tea and cake we'd have coffee.

>>210437It did have one or two moments of a small fanservice, but other than that its an incredibly lovely show. I loved the way it ended so much, their last song was beautiful. I do wish the creator didn't make College 4koma, because it was shit. No wonder they didn't make it into an anime. The author also created another manga under the same setting recently, you might want to check it out.

I really liked the dynamic in Hacks. Hostile boss and mouthy assistant, one being an aged entertainment legend and the other a young aspiring comedy writer. I actually found myself getting emotional as the friendship and mutual professional encouragement developed between them. I believe a new season is coming out soon.

>>242529she actually says "I knew I liked girls…but I hadn't told anyone yet." She uses the word queer a little later in the scene in a different sentence. the other girl says "crunchy granola lesbian" in that scene too (or she starts to say it but it dies on her tongue awkwardly because I guess she thought that was too rude).
I'm watching this right now and I'm enjoying it. Picrel was a good bit, they nailed the male-feminist scumbag character for him. So far the friendship developing between the mains had been sweet.
