#the wait between s1 and s2 was crazyyy

[avasillva]

I feel so dumb, I never picked up on Bea's self loathing and especially taking the habit to "save herself" from being a lesbian... how tragic is that. So beautiful that she found Ava anyway <3<3

it didnt click for me right away either since the way they wrote it was pretty subtle, so its easily missed... until you get to bea’s entire speech in s1 then it becomes really clear 😭 the fact that she thinks her soul needs ‘saving’ and that she’s ‘flawed’ is just absolutely heartbreaking. i feel like she still has a long way to go; there’s still probably a lot of catholic guilt in there + years of emotional repression to deal with, but she’s slowly accepting herself — and her feelings for ava! — and its just been amazing to see 🥺

also, i just find it really ironic how in a show that deals with a lot of religious themes, the only homophobia we’ve seen is bea’s internalized one (and that story about sister melanie)
