Listen, it would have been so much better if they’d just let Marie go as a woman

Like they could have still made her some weird, powerful entity or whatever for shock purpose or bc they wanted to have a reason for her to go but it feels so homophobic for her to actually be a man just........ugh

Zelda Phiona Spellman deserves to be happy!!

She did not deserve to be played with !

She fell in love with a woman who loved her for who she was and protected her

Zelda Deserved to be treated better

Zelda should have had A BETTER STORYLINE FOR THE "LAST" PART

It just came to me that they probably decided to make mambo a man so we would think that this was a good thing for zelda, that she liberated herself from a lying and manipulative man but honey... no...

Musings on Mambo Marie

I was thinking about the Mambo Marie situation a lot after reading some interesting posts here on tumblr (and on the amazing Madam Spellman Discord server) and I just want to say that Zelda is still very much sapphic, the “reveal” doesn’t change that. She was genuinely attracted to Mambo Marie and started a relationship with her (presumably, the show obviously doesn’t talk about it).

What the reveal means is that Mambo Marie is not, because she doesn’t exist. She is a mask of a self-proclaimed male god. Yes, you can interpret this as being non-binary or gender fluid, but the fact is the show doesn’t indicate any of that. The reveal wasn’t “I’m not only Mambo Marie, but I am her as well” but “I am not Mambo Marie, that person doesn’t exist”. Baron Samedi disguised himself as Mambo (for an undisclosed reason, might even have been malicious, we have no idea), the same way Hilda impersonated Blackwood or Sabrina the minion in Hell. Magically changing one’s form doesn’t change the person’s identity. And I think we can all agree Baron is not a lesbian. He deceived everyone and Zelda in particular and started this undefined romantic and presumably sexual thing with her without her knowing who he is.

At this point I want to emphasize that the gender itself is not a problem. I have read some opinions about some reactions reading as transphobic and I can see how they can be interpreted that way. However I think the betrayal would be the same if it turned out Mambo was secretely a female goddess that was a totally separate person from the “Mambo avatar”. The consent issue would be the same, because the deception would be the same.

The gender is nonetheless not without its importance in all this. They brought a powerful Black woman, who also happens to be wlw, to the show, only to reveal her to be a man? Doesn’t it take away from all the proclamatory feminism? Doesn’t it take away from all the proclamatory LGBTQ+ inclusivity? This was basically bury your gays trope without the death (ironically the character leaves for the underworld).

This leaves us with one confirmed wlw in the show (there might have been glimpses of others but they don’t really count, let’s be honest) who suffers the whole time, her trauma is barely acknowledged, not even her own family seem to care (which is bullshit, they would care if the writers let them), and the only partner, who makes her genuinely happy and content, turns out not to be real. She is given no time to process, her new love leaves her heartbroken but gives her a dog so I guess everything is forgiven. Happy ending for Zelda Spellman.

(No hate please, I will cry.)

The ending of the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is my villain origin story

curatingthingsx

Unexplained things and Messed up Plot Holes in CAOS -

Why did Ambrose blow up Vatican?

Ambrose's parents?

What happens to Lucifer now that Lilith banished him from hell?

Lilith's baby? I thought that she was just bluffing about killing and cooking the baby, but she actually did it!?

How did Theo talk to his ancestors?

How exactly is Ambrose related to Sabrina?

Since when a character's death is permanent in this show?

They have a resurrection pit in their garden. They brought hilda back many times and in last season. Sabrina could've Been brought back too!

Stupid things SABRINA did : faking a supernatural emergency, meeting SABRINA MORNINGSTAR knowing that it could have dangerous consequences!

So SABRINA MORNINGSTAR being the daughter of LUCIFER MORNINGSTAR died because of tiny cuts on her face?

Mary remembered about witches? And she chose to side with FAUSTUS knowing that his intention was to destroy everything including GREENDALE!?

And how exactly do witches age?

Why didn't Zelda use the die MAMBO MARIE gave her to bring back SABRINA??

Nick studies NECROMANCY, he could've done some research with Ambrose to bring back SABRINA, but instead he chose to Die!?

Robin and his other hobgoblin friends were planning to move to a realm where they could be safe from all of this! So why didn't all the witches and Sabrina didn't go there, that way she could've been safe.

Sabrina is the daughter of a celestial - LUCIFER MORNINGSTAR for fuck's sake! I mean c'mon he could've done something to bring her back!

Why did most of the characters acted as if SABRINA MORNINGSTAR and SABRINA SPELLMAN were different people, especially LUCIFER!?

Romanticising SUICIDE, a very wrong way to end the show.

During this whole season Sabrina's character was showed in desperate need of a boy - a human out of wax to have a perfect boyfriend?

Even in the AFTERLIFE, Sabrina was all alone, why didn't she reunite with Dorcas or her father or anyone from the coven!?

Zelda was left all alone, SABRINA died, MAMBO MARIE left her, though she does have Ambrose and Hilda but Hilda's married so it's not the same!

The writers literally forgot about PRUDENCE and AMBROSE!

What we were expecting this season was more of LILITH, and Lilith's character development not her killing her own baby!

Sabrina's death should've been temporary and she should've been brought back!

The storyline had so much potential, a few more episodes could've probably explained everything!

• Just too many things left unexplained and we demand a proper closure!

Could I just say something real quick?

It’s all coming. Whatever you’re starving for, whatever that ache is that stings your bones, it’s coming. The love, the happiness, the adventures, and the creativity that you are seeking, it is all coming for you. Here’s the thing, don’t let your right now get away. The things you find mundane, keep them. Store them in the pocket of your favorite coat like found pennies. They aren’t futile. Do not let them cause you to feel empty and hollow. They are going to be worthwhile. Keep the hunger for what is coming, but please, keep a tight grip on these little ordinary moments that are happening right now, because they – these tiny pieces of this ordinary affair you find yourself in – are the foundation to your extraordinary. And I promise you, if you begin to recognize your right now, you’ll see your extraordinary coming.

Lesbians being made into sexless, innocent and clueless by the internet is very wrong even if it comes from a good place.

Throughout history, gay women have been seen very much just “romantic friendships” than with their male counterpart. After all, women tend to be more involved with their friendships in that sort of way.

One of the main reasons for this is becuase for a very long time it was assumed that no women could want sex. Women would have sex for the man. She herself could not have desires. So gay women were at most just very intense friendships.

Lesbian sexuality is complicated and just as real as gay male sexuality. Lesbians that were direct about their sexuality were made into villains- ugly predators who hunted on innocent het women. Female sexuality, and especially gay female sexuality was seen as distrubing and naturally bad and unhealthy in its nature.

Long story short: lesbians are allowed to be sexual without being perverted mean dykes who torture the innocent, hand holding and pure good lesbians who at most do a peck on the cheek, and are far too modest to do anything more.
