I was super excited when I saw your post about watching A League of Their Own. I have to ask, are you enjoying it ? Do you have a favorite character?
I FINISHED IT!!! Boy Howdy did I fucking love it, oh my gosh!
It's so hard to pick a favorite!!
I mean you've got Carson, our adorable and awkward housewife without children who just wants to FEEL SOMETHING. She wants to experience the world and know joy and adventure and freedom. She wants to see the world differently and change her stars. She wants to PLAY FUCKIN BASEBALL babe!
Then you have Max, who I truly feel is such a parallel to Carson, despite being opposites in just about every way. Where Max self-advocates and is spirited, Carson is docile and agreeable. But in many ways, they are both being wrapped up neatly in these little boxes by everyone they know and expected to fail because of their upbringing/where they came from.
Even Shirley was just paranoid from lies ppl told her I can't rlly be mad about that???? I kind of get an OCD vibe from her with the whole "believing something bad will happen if she does or doesn't do X" and the very obvious reality that her homophobia was taught is just so forgivable.
Then there's Greta. Oh My God Greta. She's like if Good and Bad Janet had a kid and she was really gay, I'm IN LOVE with her. I want her to call me Doll and Babe and slap my ass and bully me a little bit, it would be so h o t.
And WE CANNOT NEGLECT how fucking hot and butch Jo is, since we're on the topic of Greta. A woman with a fire in her soul and a passion she finally decides to hold on to. Plus the CONFIDENCE baybee, absolutely one of my favorite characters.
This has gotten unreasonably long and I know there are countless other amazing characters to showcase how and why I love them. But if I ever EVER want to post this and don't just want to spend the next ten years adding random details I loved about this show, I have to stop now and just give it to you as it is.
