I was scrolling and then suddenly was like, those eyebrows! Is it her?? As I said, I looked up the stock photo collection and still was like, I can’t tell. But it looks a lot like her.
Not Sister Lilith selling me health insurance on Tumblr ?
Thoughts on Naya? I’m kinda heartbroken ? I grew up with glee and Santana Lopez meant so much to me
Oh, I’m so sorry, anon. I have the same thoughts as everyone, I guess, what a tragic, tragic thing to happen, somehow made even harder to process because there’s nothing to “blame”, it’s all just a horrible accident.
I didn’t really keep up with a lot of the Glee BTS but I’m seeing such an outpouring of love for her now and it really speaks so highly of her, how much she made people struggling to not feel so alone feel like they weren’t. And it looks like she had found a good place in her life with her son so it feels like an extra hard blow, for them both to lose their future together.
I don’t really have anything to say, like everyone who’d first heard about what happened, I hoped against hope that there’d be a surprise happy ending to it all but that seems increasingly unlikely. I don’t know what the best way to grieve is, everyone has their own way, good luck with getting through this until it isn’t such a present source of grief in your life.
Yeah I don’t think it’s outside the realm of possibility even tho it’s DEFINITELY not something I wanna see Bc I liked the second half of the season best when the friend group was gone, but I’m not entirely sure they would’ve wasted so much time on Ava goin back to them if it was just about her trying to live her life. But the focus on “saving” & the way he kept finding her and taking her in makes me think the sex scene might end up being relevant. I really hope no pregnancy plot. (1/2)
Bc I really don’t want the story to turn into Ava bearing a ~savior~ or whatever that’ll end up being battled over for fate of the world or battling Adriel. But Ava could be a play on Ave Maria or sumn who knows. I’m hoping not but I don’t think we’ve seen the last of JC, that’s a random ass name that’s prolly standing for Jesus Christ and he has no background & was willing to travel world w her, I think he’ll prolly be back. (2/2)
Oh, wow, you took your extrapolation in unexpected directions. Um, hmmm. I mean, of course you can’t discount any theory, but for now, I don’t think that’s where they’re going.
First, as far as I know, Jesus isn’t exactly known for being the father of a pivotal figure. Second, Ava is pretty much a child herself, it would be…something for the writers to take this person who has been bed bound for most of her short life and barely experienced anything on her own and to then make her pregnant. Third, they’re ALL in a lot of very physical fights, Ava herself, AFTER ep 5 (the one with the sex), has fallen off a cliff, been blown into a wall by her own powers, shot in the chest with an arrow, electrocuted. It would be wild for them to say, yeah, she’s pregnant, and then for us to watch her next season be either in those same situations with a visible belly or laid up for a whole season? I just don’t think that’s anything people want to watch and I’d hope they’d realize that. Fourth, even the Terminator franchise, built on a mom giving birth to the savior premise, in recent years decided that was kind of a sexist concept.
Maybe this is all just me convincing myself, but yeah, I don’t think that’s really on the horizon. There’s nothing about the halo concept that implies a kid to finish it off. JC might be back though, that seems much more likely.
Lmao JC anon I had the same thought! Anyone raised in Catholicism might’ve caught the JC for Jesus Christ and there’s more connections! Him saving Ava from drowning & her repeatedly telling him she doesn’t need to be rescued. The fact that he always provided all the food. Traveled the world picking up stray people a la the apostles. I’m not saying he’s ~definitely~ meant to be Jesus but I really hope they don’t go there ever lol but they have a satanic figure in Adriel & Michael maybe archangel
Waaait. Now I feel bad for being so incredulous at the other anon because that actually makes…a ton of sense. It really WOULD explain his overinflated part in the plot, including why we had to see that whole odd very specific dynamic spelled out like that, like did we need to see so much of the friends. Huh. Well. Yeah, and for sure, Adriel and Michael are gonna play some kind of role based on the names, a character named JC might yet prove to have his purpose. Innnnteresting.
I definitely see Ellen P and Alicia V in Alba B from warrior nun but mostly Ellen P especially in some angles
And another anon:
Ava is a cross between short hair Charlize Theron and Ellen Page. And thank you for putting warrior nun on my radar. I did not expect to love it so much.
Yep, I’m seeing a lot of mentions of Ellen Page and Alicia Vikander, so that probably wins the non-prize.
Charlize Theron…? I don’t think I really see it, but she looks so distinctively Charlize Theron-y to me all the time. Even when people were like, wow, did you see what she did for Bombshell, she looks just like Megyn Kelly, I was like, she looks like a kind of alien Charlize Theron?? And no problem! Me neither, I think I just didn’t expect that much heart. I thought it’d be campy in this bloody, sexy, gratuitous way and then it turned out to be about faith and second chances and true sisterhood and good intentions. <3
She reminds me of Ellen Page and Kristen Stewart.
And another anon:
The actress who playes ava is a combo of Jennifer Lawrence and Alicia vikander to me.
And another anon:
For me Ava looks like the daughter of Brie Larson and Alicia Vikander
Okay, KStew and JLaw? I don’t see it! Brie……….hmmm. Hmmmmmm. Maybe. But it is hilarious how many of us see some kind of resemblance there.
y’know I’m thinking they maybe didn’t intend people to inspect the family tree in dark s3e2 really closely ’cause I’m like 90% sure I just spoiled at least one big reveal lmao whoops
Lol, most likely they didn’t. But they’re probably also happy that people pay that much attention and expect them to stay for the ride, even if you know little details you still need the full picture, right, the how, not just the what. And after all, the full season dropped at once, if you REALLY wanted to know, you could just watch the last eps first.
Hi, if Harley Show is supposed to be Harley’s, why did Kiteman come out with a better character development? Most people like Kiteman, and they despise Harley. :/
Oh, I would very much disagree with that! I think poor Ivy was badly done by, but like, Harley has only tried her best for this whole season?? Which is honestly part of my objection to the writing? It feels like they tried two arcs, Ivy’s difficulty in accepting a romantic relationship with Harley because she didn’t think she’d be able to withstand losing it, and then Harley’s…growing…from…what? She’s always been a bit messy but usually she just does whatever she can in the moment. She’s been exhibiting selfless-ass behavior for a while now, the pit, the bachelorette party, trying to save brainwashed Ivy at all costs and even volunteering to go the Phantom Zone with her, how was saving the wedding a bigger step? Like, what actually changed in her to convince Ivy she’s now trying? She’s been trying!
Even the Parademons can’t only be blamed on her, it feels like everyone forgot, but she didn’t only get them as a distraction, Gordon was also coming after her because the president was pressuring him to for the sake of Gotham. No, if anything, I think the show’s actually a bit afraid to write Harley as making bigger mistakes, but as a consequence, to me, she’s come across as extremely likable and sympathetic.
Maybe it helps that I don’t really see much of the comic nerdbro side of fandom, mostly just other people’s comments about them. I imagine it’d be much worse seeing it firsthand, but like, I don’t really think the show can be blamed for people’s own bias in focusing on men or like, you know, misogyny in general (ETA: even though, as I said in the previous ask, they should at least kind of factor it in). To me, KM was gross at the start, and then a nonentity when it became clear Ivy didn’t really care about him. My feelings about him in the finale were mostly resentment at how much time he was taking from other things but other than that, like I said, whether the choice came from him or Ivy, it was because of the same reason, she didn’t love him. I guess I don’t see it as that awesome when someone doesn’t marry a person who doesn’t love them.
Thanks for giffing I May Destroy You! I finally got around to watching and I love it. Me and Michaela are from the same country so I’m beyond excited that she not just wrote and directed the work, but that she also gets to star! It’s like watching myself and all the little bits(poc– esp black women as mains and not just like waitress or tokens! headscarfs!!) they add make it that much better. For such heavy subject matter, it’s complex and lively and I think lots of people really needed that.
You’re welcome! I’m glad you’re liking it, I also was quite wary of the premise, but as you said, it’s being treated in such a way that even I, an emotional coward, don’t find it overwhelming or too dark (although of course major trigger warnings for rape/sexual assault for anyone considering watching it). And yeah, it’s got such a distinctive tone. Have you seen Chewing Gum? Which is also her own show, as opposed to The Aliens and Black Earth Rising, which are quite clearly other people’s.
