It’s not that old, anon, heh. Who doesn’t know Naomily, of course, but oh, oh, this is a good example to that anon who was like, oh, I’ve never seen you post non-canon. I mean, I didn’t watch until after the peak Naomily years, but I was more into…Keffy. >_> I don’t know why, something about their dynamic spoke to me. Maybe at the time I wasn’t really ready for real coming out arcs. But yes, of course, Naomily are iconic and important to gay media history in general, as well as to so many of my friends.
How are you liking the show Hanna?
Tooooo be honest I’m not sure it’s really justified its existence. The original movie was so good and fun, not just for its premise or action (or the amazing actors) but because the execution was so perfect, the music, the colors, not explaining much, Sophie’s…everything.
The TV show, okay, so it went at least far beyond the story of the movie, it needed to do that, but…I dunno. The mystery from the movie helped it, if anything, finding more about the program that created them isn’t something I was particularly invested in. We’ve all seen the Bourne movies or similar, it’s not going to be anything new.
I’m not loving it as much as you would expect me to love a show about a teen girl assassin and then even more teen girl assassins. It just takes itself so seriously. I think that’s my major problem with it, my favorite moments are when it lets loose and has fun. I don’t hate it, at all, and I enjoyed the second season more, for a variety of reasons, but it’s not at the top of my faves list at the moment.
Following what the creator said in that interview, I think Beatrice/Ava is gonna be one side. Still is amazing
I’m gonna jump around a bit the remaining asks a bit because I wanted to answer this now, which you sent some days back and I assume are speaking about his answer in the VIFF interview + Q&A? Where he said Beatrice’s feelings are clear but Ava is, well, that’s the drama for next season? And tbh, I didn’t read that entirely optimistically either, it actually didn’t promise anything.
But in today’s interview with Variety, he was asked about the queerness (or lack of it) in this season and this is what he answered:
There’s definitely something there with Ava and Beatrice [Kristina Tonteri-Young] in the sense that, Beatrice openly admits she’s gay and that’s a part of her journey and part of our story. Does that define Ava? Well, that remains to be seen. I mean, we have more seasons hopefully to tell the story and that will be an ongoing journey, not something that is easily defined in one scene with one life, you know? Um, and I don’t think we want Ava defined by a singular thing any more than we want Beatrice defined by a singular idea. In regards to a queer character or whatever, we don’t want them to be defined by that. We want them to be defined by who they are and let their sexuality and let their relationships and let their journeys be included in that. We never tried to paint any character with just one defining characteristic. By defining Ava and Beatrice too quickly or too irresponsibly, we could kill it and ruin it. And I don’t want to do that either. So for now, let’s just say we are open and exploring, much like the characters are.
That seems more optimistic, tbh? Like, as much as he can’t give away the plot, he’s implying more. Of course, he could still mean nothing at all, in which case, lol, I hope whatever they do decide is handled really incredibly well, considering we’re not the ones creating polls about the ship name. 😛
yes i AM enjoying it! and i agree with what u said abt wlw not being interchangeable. But it honestly it seems so intentional that even if they retroactively say mary and shan were ~involved~ they’ll be able to get away with it, the groundwork’s already there. and the angst lover in me kinda likes the idea of bea pining for ava but not saying anything and just throwing herself into serving and protecting her instead that would be so beatrice
Oh, for sure. They’ll be able to get away with a LOT, tbh, if they want to say it’d been there all along. Just depends on if they want to.
And yes, I kind of expect and want Beatrice to be pining away silently and for it to be slow burn as HECK, and then all come to the fore in perhaps ep 2×08 (the symmetry!) and have her be like, hurt while trying to protect Ava and Ava realizing all kinds of things and being like, oh. Just you know, if they’re gonna go there. 😛
A Teenager Didn’t Do Her Online Schoolwork. So a Judge Sent Her to Juvenile Detention.

your-daughters-shall-prophesy:
The prosecution called Giroux, the caseworker, as its only witness. In response to questions from Grace’s attorney, she acknowledged she did not know what type of educational disabilities Grace had and did not answer a question about what accommodations those disabilities might require. Her assessment that Grace hadn’t done her schoolwork was based on a comment her mother made to her teacher, which Charisse testified she said in a moment of frustration and was untrue.
Grace’s special education teacher, Tarpeh, could have provided more information and planned to testify but had to leave the hearing to teach a class, according to the prosecutor.
Grace and her mother testified that she was handling her schoolwork more responsibly — and that she had permission to turn in her assignments at her own pace, as long as she finished by the end of the semester. And, Charisse said, Grace was behaving and not causing her any physical harm.
The transition to virtual school had been difficult, Grace testified, but she said she was making progress. “I just needed time to adjust to the schedule that my mom had prepared for me,” she said.
Brennan was unconvinced. Grace’s probation, she told her, was “zero tolerance, for lack of a better term.”
She sent her to detention. Grace was taken out of the courtroom in handcuffs.
A Michigan judge sent a 15-year-old Black girl to juvenile detention for struggling to complete some of her schoolwork after her school shifted to online learning, despite the fact that her teacher said she was doing well in school and her caseworker not even knowing that she had ADHD.
This kid now has a record. It’s going to be difficult or impossible for her to get a job- even if she finishes HS and goes to college.
Without a decent job, she’s going to have a hard time getting healthcare. So you can imagine what that will do to her life expectancy.
Buying a home? Not going to happen. So much for leaving any wealth to her own kids, if she chooses to have any.
White judge doing this to a black kid. That’s white supremacy in action. And we white people will never have to compete with her for a spot in a good college, for a good home, for a good job. And that’s how every white person in America is benefiting from white supremacy.
Beatrice and Ava end up in a relationship cause if so I must watch warrior nun ASAP
If you’re asking if they do, nope. Definitely not this first season and only the possibility that they might in the second season, the writers are definitely aware of it but haven’t really promised anything.
