Cedar: Thank you, thank you! You’re the best crowd I ever had! I’m not just saying that!
Crowd: enthusiastic WOOOOOO
Cedar: Okay, okay, how about if we slow it down and — . . . and thank the people who make all this possible!
Everyone, this is a good friend of mine, who’s helping me get the hang of my new magical-girl powers . . . Say hi to Holly!
Crowd: HI, HOLLY!

I would laugh, but I’m kind of physically incapable. (Puff) So… now I have to wonder, can Holly sing?
I love how “magical girl” is a gender inclusive term despite having a gendered word in it. It reminds me a lot of how, in the circles I run in, at least, the word himbo also applies to naive hunky women.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’ll start calling groups of men “you gals” a thousand years before I’ll say “y’all.”
But on the other end of the scale, I think “House Spouse” is a better option than “House Wife/Husband”, purely because it rhymes.
Even though, for some reason, calling guys gals often works better than ditching gendered words, sometimes the non-gendered version just works.
In reality, I’ve taken on the habit of referring to mixed groups as “you folks.” (Which I insist on spelling with a K.) Sure, it sounds a little Southern, but I definitely find it preferable to “y’all.”
?
Sounding Southern is… fine? Also, what’s wrong with “y’all”? (No shade if it’s a personal preference, you just seem rather adamant about it.)
I can sympathize; my family is from southern Mississippi, and that’s only one of the ways I don’t want to emulate them.
Sorry, I don’t mean to imply there’s anything wrong with sounding Southern, only I don’t happen to be.
Ah, k.
I’m not Southern either, but I get the sense that “y’all” is now also a queer thing, entirely because “you guys” is so divisive.
(The funny part is, as someone whose gender leans more and more masculine, I still hate being part of a “you guys.”)
I mean, on “you guys,” fair enough, but I don’t see how “you folks” is any worse than “y’all.”
I tend to say “you guys” whatever genders I’m speaking to, because in my mind, guys is gender-fluid. But I’ll text “y’all” cuz it’s shorter…I don’t know that I’ve actually ever said “y’all”
That last panel is hilarious.
Welp, Holly’s soon gonna discover the joys of being shipped by an overly-enthusiastic fandom, isn’t she?
Isn’t Cedar 100% gay, though? Presumably his fans would know that.
Just because they know doesn’t mean they care.
