#but im so invested in true and i love her and penance's relationship a lot

[booasaur]

I think that Miss Adair loves Ms. True, but Ms. True doesn't love her back. She's too afraid to. "And pain despises hope." Ms. True is too broken to allow herself to love. Will Miss Adair heal her?

I felt like I was forgetting something in light of The Nevers coming back and finally remembered these asks from like two years ago. D:

When you sent this, only three eps had aired, so we got three more eps of characterization, and I think eventually this was mostly borne out. Not romantically, and I do think Amalia loves Penance, but it's certainly true that she was also holding herself back, we later find out why. Hopefully in the remaining half of the season, that connection is still at the center of the show.

And another anon:

So I know that a lot of people are disappointed about True Penance and yeah it's shit that even tho there has been so much progress it's still not enough for a show like this to go there but can we talk about how funny it is that Bonnie is the only characters that has the guts to look at Penance, look at the rest of them and be like "Y'all realize that this girl is more dangerous than all of us combined right?" And every other character automatically goes "how dare you? Shut your dirty mouth!" And start thinking of 1000 different ways to kill her do even suggesting that sweet kind perfect Penance could ever be like them/worse than them even tho Bonnie is actually right and Penance has the ability to be super dangerous lol

Okay, so this was after ep 4... But still, it's about intention more than ability, right, so that's probably why everyone bristles. Even though it's true that sometimes the most protective kindest people are the scariest when let loose, Penance's mercy-first approach sort of defines her.

And another anon:

I just wanted to add something to the shippers. This is HBO. HBO literally sucks. Im actually thinking "Amalia" is probably something more pan sexual and just has sex and does love Pence, in the way a alien who has no prior idea of relationships would. With that being said as a shipper always look to what the actors say and to the best of my knowledge the actress who play Pence ships with Auggie a bit. Having been burned like all the times, thats where I am now. Look to the actors because they know the most. But again just because "Amalia" is pan doesn't mean Pence actually is either. In the end good luck, I hope all the shippers are happy. But seriously HBO is the worst and they arent invested in couples. After episode 2 my cold dead heart was like they are gonna kill Amalia and make Sarah the new lead lol.

Okay, so this is after ep 6... Hmm, but I don't think Amalia is an alien? I do believe she's bi, though, but no, actors' feelings aside, I don't think the writers were intending anything romantic. And since they weren't, I'm not sure why HBO's stance on couples would matter or result in killing off Amalia, she's clearly the lead on which the show hinges.
