I definitely see Ellen P and Alicia V in Alba B from warrior nun but mostly Ellen P especially in some angles

And another anon:

Ava is a cross between short hair Charlize Theron and Ellen Page. And thank you for putting warrior nun on my radar. I did not expect to love it so much.

Yep, I’m seeing a lot of mentions of Ellen Page and Alicia Vikander, so that probably wins the non-prize.

Charlize Theron…? I don’t think I really see it, but she looks so distinctively Charlize Theron-y to me all the time. Even when people were like, wow, did you see what she did for Bombshell, she looks just like Megyn Kelly, I was like, she looks like a kind of alien Charlize Theron?? And no problem! Me neither, I think I just didn’t expect that much heart. I thought it’d be campy in this bloody, sexy, gratuitous way and then it turned out to be about faith and second chances and true sisterhood and good intentions. <3

Now I can say that it was a recommendation and a great one! I did love warrior nun. The only thing was the final scene. But love everything. Thank you

Yay! I’m glad you liked it. As a general rule, if you liked it, it was a recommendation, if you didn’t, it was just me talking about a thing I liked, you didn’t have to watch it!. 😛

Heh, that ending. They didn’t even climb to the top of the cliff to have that be a cliffhanger. Hopefully they’ll get another reason and we can see how it turns out!

DA tbh I always thought the halo reacted to Ava being truly afraid for Beatrice, and enjoyed the fact that it was the first time the halo did something to protect someone other than Ava. Yes, I have my shipping goggles on lol So… I really like how that other anon thinks! I didn’t associate Sister Melanie’s story to Ava unconsciously triggering the halo at all, I was too focused on Beatrice, but now I can’t unsee it!

Hmm, I like that interpretation too, because again, it is literally true, it IS the first time the Halo does something for someone else. And only time? Hm.

Well, both those theories work together, either way, it was reacting to Ava’s extreme feelings of fear for and protectiveness toward Beatrice, which, of course, you see a friend about to get shot, you react, it could have been anyone, but that’s the thing, it could have been anyone. Instead, they wrote it as specifically Bea. It’d have made the most sense if it was Mary, Crimson taking her own gun and turning it on her, and they’d just finished bonding in ep 6 and then reuniting in ep 7, but instead it was Bea. Well, intentional or not, for whatever reason the writers felt how well it’d work with Bea and they were right!

the fact that Flor would forgive Lorena for cheating and lowkey suggested an open relationship! A good tale on how trust can be broken in many ways, and people are mostly disappointed not from what the act itself might be, but the unexpectedness of it and implications (or real promises) of some sort of loyalty on that specific front. Yes, you might sleep with someone else, cause I know you are free like that but you would never lie, manipulate, hide important things from me, right?

Oh, that’s well said and such a good point about trust in relationships. Exactly, she didn’t expect it romantically but she did in other ways, and that’s what was broken. And as much as we understood Lorena’s side, it was also clear why Flor would feel so betrayed.

Tbh, I didn’t mind how it unfolded? Because we’d seen Lorena’s side in detail, how she found out and was so upset and conflicted and went against her only remaining family to force Oscar to confess and she did try to tell Flor but then she still didn’t TELL her and she COULD have and ahhhh. As justified as Flor’s reaction was, she also realized soon enough the other side of it and then it just kind of lingered a bit so as to make for a nice finale reunion. (Although the fact that they lost their dad in an accident and Lorena almost losing Flor like that didn’t seem to be brought up like it should have been.)

I’m really liking the AvaXBeatrice ship and I’m really excited for Warrior nun to get more seasons. So I was re-watching EP08 and I just noticed that in the story of Sister Melanie, something similar happened to Ava in EP07 when Beatrice almost got shot and Ava saved her with a blast from the Halo almost draining her of the Halo’s energy. So I think her feelings for Beatrice will play a huge part in awakening Ava’s true powers in the future :)

Ohhh, that’s true, I saw it as Ava saving a friend, but the way you describe it, that is technically exactly what happened, Ava almost emptying the Halo to save Beatrice, in this fancy slow mo shot.

Hmmm, hmmmmmm. You’re so right. My original takeaway of the reading in EP08 had been what Bea’s had been, that once you deal with your own personal demons (heh), you’ll get what you need, and in this case, that’ll be to get through the 20 feet of stone. But Bea’s reading was influenced by her own association with Sister Melanie’s journey and the same breakthrough by proxy she had. In terms of what had been described, this wave of energy bursting out suddenly, that’s what happened when Ava saved Bea! Tbh, I don’t know–I don’t think they wrote that intentionally? But it’s certainly a super curious and interesting coincidence and I can’t really be sure…

Gosh, it would be SUPER interesting if they pursued that in the second season. Most likely they won’t, but I’ll hope.

Autocorrect made my ask for quite unseat of cute. I really like her

Oh, lol, that makes a lot more sense. Yes! She is adorable. I’m glad I had the “liking Ava from the start” gene, it definitely made the watch a lot smoother.

Wrt gofundmes Bc I’ve seen you get a few asks, I saw this tweet once that helped me feel better. The person said their dad’s advice was “if I see someone who needs help and I can help them and choose not to, that speaks to my character. If someone pretends to need help when they don’t, that speaks to their character. I can only worry about my own character.” And I think that’s helpful advice. I’d rather get scammed outta $5-10 If I have it than not help someone who might be really desperate.

Oh, that’s lovely! And yes, very much, exactly.

I mean, I do understand the other anon’s point, where it’s not just me giving that money but anybody I pass it on to and then with the many different requests you see online, it actually is kind of a thing where if someone chooses to donate to person A, they might not donate to B. But as I said, everyone should do their due diligence, and as for the second point, I’ll try to give a little every day so hopefully people aren’t really passed over. People will be, realistically, no matter what, if we just look for reasons to second-guess ourselves, there’ll always be so many and we’ll never give anything.
