Soooooooo hypothetical question for y'all

What are your thoughts on secret identities??

I mean, we're all pretty recognizable here just because we're imPorts, yeah? If you don't really have the whole 'mild-mannered civilian' thing going for you anymore, and everyone knows that you have powers because of the imPort thing, is it worth the trouble to keep your secret identity and your regular joe identity separate?

AGAIN, I CANNOT STRESS HOW 100% HYPOTHETICAL THIS IS

consider this a thought exercise!!

I LIKE YOUR GUSTO, CAPSLOCK GUY!

for real though, it's usually more about keeping my friends and family safe, and keeping bad dudes off my back?
But my friends and family aren't here, sooooo
IDK

THERE YOU HAVE IT.
AND YOUR FRIENDS HERE ARE LIKELY TO BE IMPORTS, RIGHT?
POWER BEGETS POWER AND ALL THAT.
SO THEY CAN LOOK AFTER THEMSELVES AND INSTEAD OF PROTECTING THEM YOU CAN FORM A SUPER AWESOME PAL TEAM AND BEAT THE HELL OUT OF THE BAD GUY THEN HAVE NO WORRIES ABOUT GOING TO GET A PIZZA AFTER.
DREAM LIFE.

SG! Shit, girl! How've you been?

private video!

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Oh, you know, a little conflicted vis-a-vis the whole secret identity thing, but nothin' I can't handle! How about you, dude?

Survivin'. Do ya have any idea how you're gonna go forward from this?

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

I mean... I'm still thinking it over, to be honest? I might start small and just tell people one at a time.

Speaking of which, though...

[ she takes a deep breath, and SLOWLY, DRAMATICALLY, REMOVES HER HEADBAND... ]

... My name's Doreen? Jeez, this is harder than I thought it would be. My friends back home found out on their own!

[ Nancy found out on her own because she is a badass with common sense, and her other friends are superheroes who are equally bad at lying about their secret identities! ]

[h2no]

Mild mannered Doreen? Straight A student, kind, helpful Doreen is actually a superhero!?

[he gasps!!!!]

Never!

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

I know, right? Scandal! Shock! Horror! Dismay!

... Wait, have I ever met you out of costume? I genuinely can't remember, it's hard to keep things straight at this point.

[h2no]

...I don't think so, actually. Well, first time for everything!

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

In that case, nice to officially meet you!

[h2no]

Likewise.

[he can't help but laugh.]

What's the plan now? Keep your superhero name or just be Doreen?

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

I mean, ideally both? I don't want to give one name up, I'm Doreen Green and Squirrel Girl, y'know?

[h2no]

Well, there's no reason why ya gotta!

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

You're right, my man! I'm just gonna rock both names twice as hard!

[h2no]

Well, I, for one, accept my new Doreen Squirrel Girl overlord.
