I just realized why Aphrodite is pretty much characterized in the myths as this irrational and destructive being is bc love can often feel that way. It seeks no logic, just pure feelings and hormones.

I think instead of saying a terrible queer person isn't queer we should be saying that they dont deserve the community that that certain identity provides which I think is much more responsible and not homophobic

I only found out today that Jayce and Vi are canonically a superhero duo in the superhero skin line. I'm imagining Caitlyn is still the sheriff in this universe and she doesn't know her brother figure and girlfriend are superhero vigilantes at night and she definitely hates their alter egos bc they blow up shit(unintentionally but she swears it's intentional) every single time they try to take down the bad guys.

Love how Martha cleans the church and the rectory, sews the testaments, files the paperwork, and even feeds Jefferson Wick.

That Vera took over handling his legal matters, and then (unknowingly) raised his son even as people spread rumors about it.

How Simone’s donated money is “his” church’s main source of funding.

Even Grace provides the bedrock myth his distorted church stood on.

But Jefferson Wick is so incredibly misogynistic he doesn’t even have a statue of the Mother Mary.

"Wake Up Dead Man", and the thankless labor of women

One of the things that stayed with me the most, was reflecting on traditional gender roles in the Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude congregation and how it relates to religion in general.

Vera halts her life to raise a child she has no moral obligations towards. Simone is the church's biggest donor, keeping it operable basically by herself. Martha is the only employee handling administrative work in the church, keeping the treasure a secret her whole life. They are all endlessly devoted. They are all meant to be contrasts of Grace, the real "women of God," and in the end, it's thankless labor from all of them.

Vera's adopted brother is a selfish jackass who appreciates nothing about what she did for him. He saw her as just a free nanny to be "dumped" once his real father showed up.

Simone is being prayed on at her weakest and used as a cash cow, only to be told she can't be healed because she's a faithless woman.

And Martha only realises at the tail end of her life that her selfless devotion to a man and his teachings meant nothing to him. That he betrayed her the first chance he gets.

Wicks sees himself as blameless, has no standard for his own behavior. He's a disgusting, horrible man, who deserves none of their devotion.

When Vera and Martha realize that their whole life they trusted the story of the "harlot whore", only to experience the exact same treatment even after doing everything in their power not to be like her, that's the first time they can reflect on her, and when they finally realize:

"That poor girl."
