When we retumbld St. Scully, Our Lady of Skepticism, the other day, we didn’t know she was part of a set! HeyMonster has all four of his Strong Female Character set up for purchase on his Society6 page, promises more to come, and also wants to know who you’d like to see as a patron saint!

    These are awesome, but they forgot Scully’s cross necklace.

    It doesn’t really scream skepticism, though, does it?

    My hero.

    Maybe doesn’t scream it, but her cross necklace is symbolic of her complicated relationship with both faith and skepticism.

    I’d like to see her as “Our Lady of Motherhood” because that’s the kind of characterization of motherhood I can get behind. Messy, biological, terrifying, heroic, badass, and something we’re grateful for but wouldn’t presume to expect from everyone.

    Scully doesn’t really scream skepticism either, so much as belligerent myopia (at least in the early seasons.)

    Daria, Patron Saint of Cynicism

    Love the art style, but those marks in the middle of their noses look odd.

    Starbuck over Laura Roslin? Seriously? Like Ripley in Alien, Kara Thrace was originally a male character, if you recall. And in the end…well, she wasn’t exactly a paragon of self-determination, was she? What, were you afraid of having two bespectacled brunettes in the canon?
