Amanda Conner And Jan Duursema Create Female Superheroes For Nike

Where do you find the most female superheroes created by women today? In advertising for Nike, it seems. Amanda Conner and Jan Duursema have been hired by the trainers brand to design a bunch of advertising materials for their new campaign Make Yourself: A Super Power, demonstrating the abilities of certain clothing from the Nike range for the Winter training season, in the manner of superhero costumes. Expect to see Amanda and Jan’s work in the most unusual of places. And hopefully in a comic book or two along the road, as well.

I am in love with all of these.  And if you click through the link, there’s an awesome layout of sports bras by Amanda that made me giggle— at last, a comics artist who knows what a sports bra is!

 I LOVE IT.

I think this might be why, of all the new series’ companions, I don’t like Martha Jones.

Rose, Donna and Amy didn’t want to leave ‘My Doctor’, ‘Raggedy Man’ or ‘Spaceboy’, but they didn’t have a choice.

Martha Jones just walked away.

Martha’s family had just gone through a year of hell.  A year of being TORTURED, a year where they were threatened with DEATH every day, a year where they saw horrors unimaginable.  They needed her. 

Martha herself just went through a year of hell.  A year where she was hunted every day.  A year where there was a special forces unit tasked with doing nothing but tracking her down.  A year where she saw an entire country burn in front of her eyes.  A year where she witnessed more death and destruction than any one person should ever have to.  A year where she saved the universe not with magic TARDIS/Metacrisis/Universe crack powers but with her own brains, cunning, determination and willpower.  She needed her family.

She had also just spent a year in love with a man who didn’t love her back.  A man who was often dismissive of her thoughts and feelings.  A man who she had to watch fall in love with another woman and accuse her of being his executioner after two months of going from being a doctor to a maid in an era when she was thought of as less than a person because of the color of her skin.  Then three more month of working in a shop to support him.  Her thanks for those things was “thank you” and a hug.  She went through a year where she TIME AND AGAIN proved herself, delivered the impossible and yet was judged unworthy just because she wasn’t someone she’d never met.  And THEN the year of literal hell. 

Put yourself in her shoes for just a minute.

She made absolutely the right decision, for her own mental and emotional well being, and for her family’s.  She still cared for him, she gave him a lifeline back to her, but she couldn’t survive in that environment anymore, having her self esteem torn down every day after she had proved over and over just how amazing she was.

FOREVER APPRECIATE MARTHA.

i swear, martha haters, not one of you has an inch of logic or reason in your body

sweet lord, that rebuttal is perfect.

Martha haters are so full of shit. No one will ever convince me otherwise. All the reasons they hate her are the reasons I love her. She got out before it was too late, and for the good of everyone involved. She’s perfect.

Yeah, if anything, this is a reason to like Martha better than them. (I mean, IL them all, but come on.)

This right here is the reason I like — not Martha herself, because I love all of these women a hell of a lot, but Martha’s goddamn agency — a lot better than I like the other narratives. Martha isn’t put safely away somewhere For Her Own Good before she gets too damaged to play with. Martha isn’t fucking erased. Martha sees everything that’s wonderful about the Doctor — let’s not forget that she saved the world by telling a story about her faith in and love for him — but she also sees when it’s time to leave, and then she chooses it. And that — that’s so important and admirable and wonderful, and makes me so happy for her, that it’s difficult to even articulate it.

I honestly don’t get the Martha hate. If anything, this proves to me that she is the smartest of them. Like the Doctor was saying, all of time and space, its a suitcase full of candy. Eat too much and you get sick

Reblogging for commentary, because so much word.

This is exactly how I feel about her
