a very quick poem i just wrote, made from excerpts of texts my mum has sent me this year.

This is precious 💔

Every once in a while a show is so beautifully made & captivating it inspires you to draw bits of it, hoping it'll do the magic justice. 🖤💫 Please bear with me while my heart is overflowing a little much with love for this brilliant show & the spectacular characters in it, as well as an unquenchable thirst to draw more art. All I see is heart eyes. 😭

In which different nightmares have a common solution

[thefeminineurge]

avatrice quite literally has EVERYTHING. like, the couple is built by the best tropes of ALL TIMES. a slowburn, friends to lovers, hyper gf x calm gf, a lesbian and bisexual, introvert x extrovert, cautious x impulsive, golden retriever x black cat, their own cottage kinda life in switzerland and many many more. but adding these, their dynamic is also not just built on the said tropes. ava and beatrice are characters with unique layers and personalities who sometimes failed, improved, learned and even failed to learn. IN THIS ESSAY I WILL

S1 Beatrice: "You may always count on me to remain faithful. To God."

S2 Beatrice: *risks everything and puts Ava above her duty twice, by saving her life in 2x06, and trying to use the Crown of thorns on her on 2x08*

That's what I call character development

[hyperfixatedonthings]

Finished like my 12th rewatch and, I can’t get this idea out of my head.

It was too easy for Ava to stop Beatrice from putting the crown on her.

I may be crazy. However, I can’t help feeling like there is more hidden in the last few episodes then I’ve seen people talking about. I know that the story had to progress because it’s the final episode. I just keep coming back to what Yasmine said in the back of the pastry van.

Keep reading

I’m not sure about this theory but it sure does seem interesting. That’s exactly why we need season 3(and 4 and 5 and 6…) - we have so much more to explore and find out.

[hopelesspickles]

Every time someone says Avatrice isn’t real because they only had one kiss I want to scream and punch a wall. How did we as a society come up with the belief that to show you love you need to have sex? Wtf?!There are 5(!) love languages and there are so many ways to show people you love them (and asexuals do exist too, hello!) But everyone just wants to see two people fucking on screen? What about their feelings? What about character development? Avatrice had EVERYTHING but sex and people think it’s not enough. Some people really need to revaluate their values.

Any other show is like this. This is something that attracts more views (I guess) so literally any other show has sex scenes. And then we have one (1!) show that doesn’t and people are going crazy about it.

I would really like to make a statistic of how many wlw couples have intimate scenes (I’m pretty sure 99% do - I’m taking about canons here) and in which episode of the show it happens. Again I’m pretty sure that it’s in the beginning for almost all of them (No hate, I watch lots all shows and this absolutely doesn’t affect the quality - but I’m just so tired of people only focusing on that and not the plot/story).

Stop making everything about sex. This show has greater things to offer.

Are you saying today’s not a Wednesday?

…guess anyday could be a Wednesday from now on. :)

Based off of @this-is–the-end‘s fic, Luke 16:10. Read it here on AO3!!! IT’S AWESOME!!!

[rambling-addict]

To all Raylla AND Avatrice fans out there, I’ve noticed something.

Raelle and Beatrice have the same mannerism when kissing their other half or even just being affectionate to them — with their hands on Scylla/ Ava’s face.

And every time that happens, Scylla and Ava have that same expression of looking so in love with Raelle/ Beatrice. Their stares are so intense.

I can’t get enough of them.

Fuckin’ hell. I’m definitely going on withdrawal… lol.

Btw, if you don’t know either of these ships… what are you doing? Go watch their shows!

Join us on our crusade for another season of Warrior Nun! ;)

My 2 fav couples😭

[humaninpogresss77]

The fact that there’s people that are saying that avatrice is not good because Ava and Beatrice share only one kiss and that the straight couple got more in Ava and JC really shows how queer discussion in fandoms has harm the queer narrative.

Because:

1. There’s not a right amount of things a queer couple should or could do on screen to validate a ship.

2. Sex is not and shouldn’t be the only way of intimacy.

3. Is a biphobic statement because Ava is bisexual .

4. Completely ignore the fact the significance of Ava and Bea’s relationship that since the ve tu first moment they have a conversation it shows in every moment how important they were for each other compared with the fact that since the moment JC left the narrative no one ever mention him or even think about him.
