Except they were bisexual women and they sometimes killed people. Seriously, you should click those links if you don’t know who they are, they’re pretty interesting.
Notes and trivia:
- The lyrics for the song about Julie’s father in panel 2 come courtesy of Tumblr user Skemono, who came up with them many moons ago.
- On the second page, we have cameos from Khutulun and Sermerssuaq.
- I stayed up ’til 3 AM chatting with native speakers of French in Japan, New Zealand, and Paris, because I knew one of y’all would harp on my usage of the language. Suffice to say: I know what doesn’t make sense about what I wrote, and at this point I don’t care.
- Same thing goes with the music notation.
- I love the fact that Catalina de Erauso randomly flinging a knife into a crowded bar is totally in character.
NEXT WEEK ON REJECTED PRINCESSES
Been a bit since we did a straight-up fairytale, so let’s do that! I have two new books to go through, so if they have better stories waiting therein I might change which one I’m doing, but for now your hint is: the Big Bad Snake is no match for the power of Micronesian sisters.

Still laughing!! I loved the ‘allo, so very French! :-D
Where can we submit our predictions?
Predictions are on hold because they were getting too numerous. Mentioned at the bottom of Viśpálā’s entry.
That was great!
Those two in a room together would make for one heck of a party.
Thank you!
