I love this moment. it means so much to me. Beatrice has only had the one drink, so she’s not drunk, but already all that nervous energy has just vanished entirely. she’s allowing herself to be giggly and silly in Ava’s presence, because Ava makes her feel safe, because Ava’s so good at making people feel comfortable in new situations. this is why Beatrice fell for Ava, because Ava can make her smile like this.

AVA + saying things that bea has probably needed to hear for a long time

[soytasty]

you know warrior nun deserves massive creds for letting beatrice definitely Not conform to feminine beauty ideals even when she isn’t dressed in nun-garb, but also having her clearly framed as very attractive and desirable (to women). like yeah that’s actually exactly what we like. that’s exactly what makes me crazy. and model-gorgeous idealistically-flawless ava being helplessly smitten with practical, serious, fresh faced, beautiful bea and thinking that she’s the undeserving one is… exactly what we should all be seeing on tv

Sister Beatrice of "Warrior Nun" is one of my all-time favorite fictional characters. I relate to her on so many levels, but where she most breaks my heart is how she wrestles so hard with judging herself for her own longings. Kristina Tonteri-Young continues to bless us with reading a poem about those very feelings.

I wanted to compare the S1 vs S2 “marching into the final battle” scene since my first time binging the show. But, I couldn’t bring myself to do so after the cancellation news… What I wanted to talk about, what makes me happy only brings me pain now… But here it is anyways… I am not giving up on WN S3 just yet!

So it is pretty obvious that in S1, the main character was Ava and that everything happened evolve around her. This narrative showed pretty bluntly in the way they framed this shot- Ava walked in the center of the frame, and the camera focused on her all through the scene. Even though the show at large centered around a group of women, they were still second or third to the big female protagonist. However, in S2, this storytelling lens shifted- in the same scene (where the mains march into their final battle), Beatrice was walking alongside Ava. This time, there was an obvious gap between them and the rest of the gang. The scene before this wide shot was a close up of Avatrice where Beatrice checked in on Ava. This technical shift in staging/positioning of characters accompanied with how intertwined Avatrice got story-wise in S2 implied that Beatrice is becoming more and more of an equal lead to Ava on the show. It also seemed promising that we would dive into Beatrice’s backstory in the next chapter of the show… (Also, just in general, we got more flashbacks of other characters in S2 than in S1 where it only focused on Ava.)

The above two scenes are 1) The official end of S2 with Beatrice sitting longingly under the arc staring into the emptiness; 2) The post credit scene of Beatrice walking off of the OCS chapter to “live her life”. I honestly could not believe the show chose to illustrate the ending TWICE from Beatrice’s point of view. Even though it made sense for Bea to be the focal point due to Avatrice, I always considered Ava be the absolute lead on WN as she’s the Warrior Nun herself. I thought maybe they’d end with showing a little bit of the other realm with Ava. But here we are, the show chose to continue the WN story in this world with Beatrice…

Now with Netflix’s cancellation, this whole thing just makes me sad… Every aspect of the show was so hopeful. The WN universe and it’s creative team still has so much to give. There are too much potentials left unexplored and unexplained. It is so devastating to even think about the idea that Beatrice emerging from one of the sister warriors to the second lead of the group be the end of the entire series. This was only supposed to be the beginning… How could it be the end already?!

We must SAVE WARRIOR NUN!

"what did the girl at the bar whisper to bea?" (x)

[soytasty]

maybe it’s because i’m so starved for sapphic attraction, but i’m only now realizing how much ava was holding back with bea. ava unashamedly flirted with jc and literally tried every possible trick in the book. my girl actually took drugs to try and get lucky, ffs (all for some cardboard stick. come on, ava, at least simp for a man with a personality.)

with bea, on the other hand, ava’s affection slips through the cracks. she falls for bea and quickly realizes that she’s not allowed that, she can’t fall for her best friend. so she loves quietly, or as quietly as she can manage. she lets herself have the little things, and she takes what she can steal. she loves so wholly and she wants to show it, but she can’t. she lives off the crumbs she allows herself, paints her love as friendship, and no one was the wiser.
