Avatrice
The growth!!!
Uncomfortable hug from Beatrice who barely knows Ava, but, although hesitantly, still comforts her.
Beatrice’s absolute pride in Ava’s success
(bonus: Bea realizing her feelings)
The emotional support hug. They are grounding each other. They are each other’s person.
The we did it! The oh thank god you’re okay hug. Both Ava and Beatrice latch on so quick and tight. They cannot bear the thought of the other getting hurt at this point
The absolute relief from Beatrice that she did not loose Ava, and Ava so happy Bea is there to support her. (Bonus the little neck kiss)
And finally the kiss. Ava has been pining over Beatrice all season. Beatrice who is struggling with her feelings because of her vows. But Ava is about to go, and she cannot leave her love without letting her know she loves her and just how much she means to her. While also simultaneously showing how much she has grown because of Beatrice (“once you realize everything is not about you”, and then easily dodging Bea’s attack to pull her into her arms in the the smoothest way possible. Lastly, her new faith. She tells Bea “in the next”. After putting on the crown she realizes that there is something else out there, something that will bring Beatrice back to her when Bea’s time comes. She isn’t running, not like she did before, she is saving her sisters and her love despite knowing she is going to die). Beatrice made Ava better, but Ava also made Beatrice better. Beatrice opened herself up to get close to someone again, not just her sister Warrior’s who, even then seemed to keep them at arms length. Beatrice in the first season would do anything for the OCS. In this season, Beatrice would do anything for Ava.
So THIS, your honor, is character growth and slow burn at its finest.
Thank you, Warrior Nun.
In this life, or the next

For those coming into the 2SLGBTQIA+ community for the first time, those of you just peaking out of the closet, those of you lurking in the shadows, and allies: I have three words for you to learn in your fight against bigotry, against discrimination:
Obdurate - stubbornly refusing to change ones opinion, beliefs, understanding, or course of action.
Obstinate - stubbornly refusing to change ones opinion, beliefs, understanding, or course of action despite attempts to persuade one to do so.
Ignorant - lacking knowledge or awareness, uneducated or unsophisticated.
Many bigots often aren't ignorant. They don't need to be educated, because they won't listen to it. They're obdurate, and this can be easily determined within a few minutes of trying to reason or debate when their obstinance shows.
This isn't saying 'don't ever try to educate', this is saying 'learn how to read your audience and learn when and how to quit'. If someone is being willfully ignorant and unsophisticated (ie. obdurate) on an enlightening and sophisticated topic and won't consider any opposition (ie. being obstinant), there's no point in continuing because all they're doing is having fun being deliberately uneducatable. Instead, call them out on it. Point at what they're doing and why you're declining to play. You have two really good words here to add to your vocabulary.
And as a reminder: being bigoted is a fun game for them, one designed to make you look ridiculous. Don't play. They're there to win and they've already given themselves first place and you last. Just leave, or if you have the mind for it, change the rules and play a different one, but honestly, most times it's best to just leave. You can't force someone to change against their will, only leave them behind.

GUESS WHERE MY SUDDEN DORMANCY WITH THEM WENT HAHA.
Here's a Suselle Pride Month pic! This actually started out as something I did as a spite reaction to the hate this ship gets and it's still getting it because people don't know how to look at characters as any sort of 2-dimensional except me (jk I've seen a lot more folks thankfully) SO IT'S STILL SPITE LOL. It was only when I realized that June was coming when I lined it at the tail-end of April that I held onto this and slowly worked over it in the month of May. So it wasn't originally for now. Funny that tbh.
This was also me fucking around and finding out with Sai 2's scatter brushes now at my disposal :D I love the sorta blatant Fire and Ice thing with them still.
I won't lie in the slightest it was greatly inspired by Lynxgriffin's piece of them. Other than that I draw everything from scratch and my hands were screaming for a while (If tumblr isn't still fucky with links I'd do that but until then aaaaa..)
Art: Mine
Do not steal/crop/edit/etc.
Do not tag as kin/me ty!
Suselle haters DNI :U
