in the scene where mary goes out in front of the group for the adriel fight, she kind of shuffles ava and camila out of the way and i just noticed that beatrice is reaching out to touch ava when that happens ugh my heart
Oh, hmm. As much as I’d love for that to be the case (I’d never deny an extra Soft Avatrice moment), I feel like she’s reaching for Mary?
I kind of love that too! That she also instinctively wants to protect Mary! Each character has a specific, distinct dynamic with everyone else (except Camila, who kind of only has one with Beatrice, lol, hoping that changes next season!), so even though Mary is the Badass, Bea still feels responsible and protective. I love that. :>
boocita I’ve been bingewatching WN on your recommendation and when ava made it through the training wall after facing her fear bea really looked at her like she was ready to break her sacred vows ?. also i thought shannon / mary was legit canon from the first ep i thought it was so weird nobody explicitly referred to it bc it seems hella obv and intentional??
I don’t know anyone by that name. =_=
My recommen–I did wh–it was no such thing! Unless you’re liking it? Then yes. 🙂
Haha, yes, after the training, that was the closest thing we got to anything canon. I mean, it IS canon one-sided at least, for now. Break her vows, lol. I’m kind of tickled at what research must be going into writing the fic for them. “Does a kiss–does another woma–does it have to be…hmm.”
Yeah, Shannon and Mary, I think all the viewers were like, uhhh, that’s clearly something, but it seems the writers weren’t intending for it. Just ended up a combination of the writing needing to sell that friendship as transformation for Mary and then Toya really leaning into the physicality We might still get some flashbacks next season that elaborate on that, now that they know people are reading them that way, and also, Mary was a lesbian in the comics, and I LOVE Beatrice, of course, who doesn’t, but I also don’t like the idea that lesbian characters are interchangeable or that they removed a Black lesbian. It’s not as if all the characters are completely new for the show, Shotgun Mary was a character in the comics. Just something I’ll be looking to, though I don’t know which way they’ll go and it won’t be a deal breaker if they don’t stick with it, I’ll just be disappointed.
