No version of the cannon Wonder Woman costume that I am aware of has a chest window, you’re probably thinking of Power Girl. Wonder Woman’s iconic costume does have lots of cleavage, but not because of a window, but rather because the costume just kinda stops half-way up her boobs, I forget what it’s called, but it’s that thing that’s basically a corset but isn’t intended to be worn under or over another top the way corsets are (in my experience).
Maybe she could settle for Black Widow with her top unzipped to the sternum. It’s not really a chest window, but I don’t think Daisy has high standards at this point.
Maybe Daisy would go for the whole business suit Lois Lane reporter look? Ruth is too reserved for a lot of superheroine wardrobe tropes, but she would rock a blazer.
Pretty sure it’s only herself. It’s just convenient that it kind of works out as long as she completely disregards any opinion Ruth might have on this.
Bluesnake463
And this still goes back to Jennifer equating being in a new relationship with moving on. Clearly, neither of them is good with what happened and no amount of bonning will change that.
Not really? Sure getting Ruth and Daisy together might work out well for them, but she’s framing that as a way to get both of them off her back with their happiness as a side bonus.
Of course getting your boss together with your ex can’t possibly go wrong in any way.
Jennifer, you never HAD a regular beat, what’s this again crap? You had the AG story for four days and Daisy took it away from you after one article because Dorothy was a better writer, handed in her work in a timely manner, didn’t insert herself in her stories and because she thought you were a spoiled brat. That’s hardly a beat. 😛
Uh…that was “Billie”. Jennifer has probably had plenty of beats over the time skip. We just weren’t there to see it but I bet they were really cool, and relevant!
It might. Daisy has made it clear she actually thinks the newspaper is a joke and is using Amazi-Girl for her porn stash.
HeySo
Given that she plays off JJ Jameson, this makes me heavily question just why exactly JJ kept ardently insisiting on new pictures of Spider-Man. Especially since we were shown several times in the comics that the photos used for front pagers were generic skyline shots that weren’t specific to any individual event and, thereby, could easily have been pulled from the thousands of photos that Peter Parker- and, strangely enough, only Peter Parker- managed to deliver over the previous months, years, and then decades.
Honestly, looking at it straightforwardly like that, JJ having a Spider-Man fetish is really the only way to explain his near-addiction of purchasing endless amounts of dubiously acquired photos off of the rather disliked part-timer. >.>
HeySo
Scratch the “near” in “near-addiction”. I had momentarily forgot- or, rather, erased from mind- that time I walked in on JJ huffing his photo stash like it was a mountain of crack. And you don’t even wanna know the usage he was putting symbiote to, at the time.. ?
Needfuldoer
There’s a parody out there somewhere of J. Jonah Jameson tacking pictures of Spider-Man to his bedroom wall and then staring at them while dreamily kicking his feet in the air like a teenage girl looking at boy band posters, but damned if I can’t find the thing right now. (I want to say it was drawn by Meredith Gran, Kate Beaton, or someone who could ape their styles, but I could be misremembering that. It’s been a while since I last stumbled across it.)
Daggart
Wait wait, so JJ is tsundre
HeySo
If you Japanisize (is that a word?) western comics, then you’re basically stuck either turning tsundere or turning into an ikemen [ie, pretty boy]. Not sure I’ve ever seen one where that wasn’t true.. other’n maybe that weird one where the Ninja Turtles become Power Rangers..
[ I can’t find it anymore, but there used to be a whole meme about the ikemen thing. It wasn’t just western conversions, either- even eastern ones like Mario Bros saw them (and even Koopa) turned into completely prettified versions of themselves. Also, for the Ninja Turtles reference, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutant_Turtles:_Superman_Legend ]

3J being spider-sexual makes too much sense.
Zach
And Spider-Man being gay is the only way to explain his chast, near platonic love for MJ while wrestling scantily clad, muscly bad boys, who mostly are good inside and just need someone to save them.
HeySo
After Gwen Stacy died, Peter just never could find it in himself to love another woman. However, Peter felt regret over what he had lost out on, and was overcome by the loneliness of his loss. Hence his grabbing on to Mary Jane, in an attempt to claim what he could have.
However, as time went on, Peter just.. couldn’t deny the truth of things anymore. His time with Mary Jane was only emphasizing how his relationship was a superficial substitute for what he actually wanted and, further, he had come to find a.. satisifaction in his more.. physical crimefighting activities that his life with Mary Jane just couldn’t provide him.
Oh, there were females there, but that just felt awkward, for the reasons noted before. No, it was only with other males that Peter felt reassured. As time went on, that reassurance turned into something.. more pleasurable.
However, Peter was trapped in his marriage, and- coward that he is- couldn’t bring himself to break up with Mary Jane. After all, MJ did love him, even if he couldn’t properly reciprocate. I mean, why else would she have stuck through his misogynist phase, repeated monster attacks and abductions, and all the other bullshit that came from his poor personality and troubled lifestyle? No, Peter just couldn’t bring himself to do it. However, at the same time, his marriage was going nowhere.
In fact, as the lack of children after years of marriage showed, he had come to actively avoid intimacy with MJ, instead spending his time fully on the streets looking for other distractions. And then, he came on to an idea.. what if MJ just.. didn’t remember him?
A quick ring-up of his old frenemy Mephisto and wam, bam: Peter had everything he ever wanted. Well, except Gwen Stacy? Whoops, guess he coulda just wished her back. Or maybe even old Uncle Ben..
But shit, we knew our buddy Peter was going to fuck something up. I mean, this the same guy who sent a murder after his Uncle, and that before a rather historied series of similar “whoopsies”. Oh, well..
So true love was still off the table but, hey- no guarantees Gwen would still love him now anyway. Nah, being able to commit himself fully to his newfound homosexuality was a much safer option.
Besides, have you seen the ass on Deadpool or Wolverine? And with both of them hanging around the Avengers, which Spider-man was now a part of..
Mmm, yeah. No, this life is good. Let’s just throw his obligations to his female romantic partners and his uncle and his parents to the wayside, and just enjoy the freedom of sexual exploration that this wish with Mephisto earned him.
I mean… doesn’t Spider-Man deserve to enjoy a little bit of friendly neighborhood “recreation”? Think of all the people he has saved over the years. Yeah, this is EARNED. Let’s focus on taking care of ME for a change. I mean.. not really a change but, whatever. Sexy male on male times, let’s go!

They both worked for the paper at the same time. I think Dorothy probably signed on first, but we get to see Jennifer’s interview with Daisy early on in the comic.
I remember she did a story on Becky but that iirc that was a submitted story, not a regular beat. I remember Dorothy talking to AG about the possibility of a new reporter but I don’t think we ever actually saw Billie do any AG reporting.
Regardless, Dorothy giving the beat back because she can’t do it anymore isn’t really the same as Billie being (re)hired and assigned the beat by Daisy, which is what she wants here.
Did you type “alpha bongo”, or that word that gets bongoed-out, but with extra vowels for emphasis? If the latter, its neat that it replaced it with a similarly lengthened “bongo”. If the former, please carry on
I always write “the word that means drums” rather than “the word that is a slur”, to the extent that I was really surprised at one point when I actually was trying to write the slur and saw it replaced with drums.
I had forgotten the entire joke about alpha bongo and just took the term as the proper description of Jennifer-in-highschool
milu
Slur that means drums…?? Wow i’m feeling extra dumb today =D and/or US cultural reference whizzing me by on account of not being from the US?
If you try to write the word (which is a slur) ‘biitch’ (but with one ‘i”) in this comment section it’s replaced by the word ‘bongo’.
The reason for that is that we pissed Willis of too much the at one point and the slur was overused, so he added a filter.
That pretty much immediately became an internal meme, especially since Jennifer refers to herself as ‘alpha biitch’, which then turned into ‘alpha bongo’.
And that’s why I literally use the word boingo when I would use the other one.
milu
oh oh sorry yes i was being thick then smh
i read your comment and thought you were referring to another substitution for some slur that was homonymous with a word for drums or something convoluted like…
anyway, i was aware that bongo was getting substituted for b*tch around here but i really appreciate the historical digest, thanks! =D
At this point it’s safe to say that any danger her femurs might be in due to her present and future actions is incapable of increasing the danger they’re already in due to her past actions.
Sometimes people have complicated behaviour. I feel like Jennifer is projecting and is the one still interested in them being together but obviously if you are in denial and projecting those feelings on the other person, it makes perfect sense to try to push this someone to be with someone else. You know, so they get over you. Based on your actual feelings, it makes 0 sense to do that, but it makes perfect sense to if you are trying to force yourself to be over them/make them unavailable to yourself.
