Maria Reyes has fought all her life, to graduate high school on time, to go to college, to get the degree she's always wanted. Yet she still wants more; she wants to go back to school and become a nurse in order to help even more people and, to that end, she’ll show up at her ma and pa pharmacy job and get by day to day. At least she has her work wife, Kim, to help pass the time. So as the normal, typical boring day starts to take an odd, if not horror movie cliche, turn she can only grit her teeth and gear up for another fight. At least she won’t have to fight this fight alone.

Christy normally deals with girls in her fairy godmother gig, but ready for a challenge, she decides this time to take on a boy.

She’s booked every weekend, and her name is quickly becoming well known in the area. So it comes as a shock when her booking agent slowly stops calling her.

Their exchanges never fail to boil her blood, but it’s a game she starts to look forward to, and she’s determined not to back down first.

The critically acclaimed first-person shooter franchise Borderlands knows it’s ridiculous. It’s a badge of pride. These space-western games encourage you to shoot a lot of enemies and monsters, loot their corpses, and have a few chuckles while chasing down those bazillion guns. As Kaitlin Tremblay explores in Ain’t No Place for a Hero, the Borderlands video game series satirizes its own genre, exposing and addressing the ways first-person shooter video games have tended to exclude women, queer people, and people of colour, as well as contribute to a hostile playing environment.
