Chosen One of the Day: Connie the Hormone Monstress

By Courtney Enlow

Oh, are we talking about Maya Rudolph? TRICK QUESTCH, we're always talking about Maya Rudolph. But fill up your tub for a nice buh-bull baatth because today we're celebrating Connie the Hormone Monstress from Big Mouth. Because in a show about the most relatable moments of adolescence, Connie, a literal monster made of pubescent horrors, is the most relatable character.

She is the hormone monstress for Jessi (Jessi Klein) as she navigates RAGE and EMOTIONS and JEALOUSY and HORNINESS and Connie is onboard for all of it. A true ride or die, Connie allows Jessi to feel ALL THE THINGS even when she doesn't want to or it's inconvenient. Particularly when the dark vengeful spirit only a tween girl can understand comes flying out and she needs to act up.

But above all else, Connie shows Jessi what it means to be a woman in this big garbage world, for better or worse.

So let's listen to Lana Del Rey, cut up our shirts and start calling our moms "Shannon," IT'S MAYA RUDOLPH O'CLOCK and that means it's Connie's time to shine.
