Poll anon here. I get that i think it makes sense not to have many hopes until we see it. But i also think they were setting it up with the litle things here and there, and making a post like that without meaning to go there would just be tone deaf to literally everything queer fans have been saying. The end game thing is mostly cause the creator said he wanted 5-7 seasons so if it happens too soon i dont think it will go through all those (if they get them) 1/?
2/2 Also Ava as a character still has a lot to grow we saw how she was with JC and how she craves someone to care and love her. Same with Beatrice, she is more mature but that girl really needs to grow and start accepting herself. So i’m keeping my expectations low on the end game front untill we see how they see them up. And i say WHEN cause at this point to me its really just a matter of time
5-7 seasons?? That’s optimistic! Are they sure of getting even another one? But no, I totally understand taking these mentions as signs of things to come, it would be ridiculously cruel to dangle all this and then be like, yoink, but…you know. Still, you’re right, we should hope!
Oh, you know, even when I was saying their relationship is so balanced, I was thinking, it is a lot of Beatrice still patiently explaining things to Ava, Ava’s such a novice at literally everything. Anyone compared to her would be more mature, but Bea is like, Miss Sensible, so well-balanced and knowledgeable…except when it comes to this, lol. They’re both novices together. If they go there, I don’t think Ava’ll have to struggle through her internalized homophobia in the way Beatrice has, because she’s had to deal with just so, so much, this is just one minor new thing, but it’s defined Beatrice’s life, and as you said, she needs to learn to accept herself. She seems to have taken a huge step toward that, though, and like, no matter where they go, I expect s2′ll have more of that, so I can’t wait!
Dont know if you have seen it yet but the creator of WN made a poll on twiter for Ava/Beatrice ship name so i will be really suprised if they dont go there eventually. Now if they will be endgame is another thing but at the very least canon probably
Oooh!
But you think so? It’s encouraging, but I won’t believe it till i see it. If it happens, though, it best be endgame, like, to go there and then walk it back? I would be….incandescent with rage.
About your gifset of mary telling lilith she doesn’t need combat training: i find it hilarious because every single encounter they have afterwards mary wins even without her guns. Guess she does have a tiny bit of combat training lol
Lol, right! I was worried for her at first, especially when she would lose her guns, but then she’d win anyway. I’m sure Lilith would sniff and call it street fighting or whatever but lol, Mary kept beating her ass. Poor Lilith, even Ava, who barely paid any attention, was able to get away from her. But now Lilith’s got legit demon(?)-based superpowers so who won in the end!
The women of the warrior nun ?? I love them so much! Also the whole episode with just Ava and Mary was so so good. My fav episode! Also rooting for Ava x Beatrice. I feel like Beatrice is going to become a fan fav, I know she’s mine already. (the badass moment when they needed to get that shield back from the lab)
I know! At first, I was like, Mary and Beatrice, *immediate hearteyes*. Then Camila, Lilith, Ava, Jillian, Mother Superion. Hell, I love Chanel, granted I still don’t really understand why we had to see that much of JC’s crew, if they weren’t going to play a part in the rest of it. If we had to put up with them as part of Ava’s intro, then I’m not sure why we needed the voiceover. Give us one or the other, somebody to bounce off of or just her internal thoughts, we didn’t need both. But since we did get them, would have been fun to see Chanel and Zori be recruited into the sisterhood, Chanel being super enthusiastic while Zori would have made Ava’s journey look smooth.
The Mary + Ava ep was GREAT! I think it did more for Ava’s growth than any other single ep and tbh, it was a relief to move more heavily into the bigger mythology arc and away from the “I’m going to keep running away despite this incredibly weird supernatural stuff that is still clearly following me around.” And it was good to see Mary’s side of things too, and the beginning of that particular kind of relationship, a lot of tough love from Mary, but love all the same.
I think Beatrice already has, lol, and it helps that we liked her even before she was revealed as the gay one. I have to assume that she didn’t get her own moment to shine in the finale because of the shield job, it was awesome. I’m actually kind of curious why she’s not considered for the halo, she’s a great warrior, possibly their best, a great leader, both compassionate and strategic minded, she even has the family background. I think she might have been too young to be considered for it? She speaks of Shannon being nicer to the new recruits, so I’m assuming it’s Mary and Shannon as one generation, then Lilith, then Bea, then Camila. And of course the halo went off to pick rando Ava, which, that’s the story needed to make the show. In-universe the explanation might be that the halo sensed how conflicted and distracted she was by dealing with her sexuality, and that she just doesn’t seem to want that kind of responsibility or duty, serving more as a really strong second in command. I just really love how complex and well defined and lovable they all are!
Omg warrior nun?? Can they all be gay pls, they’re all so beautiful?? Totally ship ava/bea and mary/lilith (mary is such a badass character omg i love her)
Right?? They’re all legit so gorgeous and cool and like, go through journeys and arcs and I would legit love if the show somehow went with BOTH those ships. Like, if it were m/f, everyone among the main cast would hook up with each other, can’t we have thisssss. *whines* And I DO ship Mary/Lilith, tbh, like, from their first scenes to the last, there’s so much history and growth.
