Honestly ava and Deborah separating is exactly the kind of tension that will keep me invested. Give me pining, give me yearning, give me them being absolutely useless without each other, give me drunk calls in the middle of the night. When you miss someone so much it fucking physically hurts???? So good.
hacks gives us representation of a very Specific type of relationship, which is “the bond between a woman over 50 and the twenty-something lesbian/bi girl who would die for her is something that can be very personal”
I keep going back to that rooftop scene and I know I am not insane. Or I might be insane, but I’m not imagining things. She was about to hold Ava’s hand. I know it. I’m certain of it.
"I think that her decision to fire Ava is a partly a moment of growth for her and partly her being a little scared of the intimacy of their relationship. I think it’s both things at the same time."
HACKS S02E07 CONSPIRACY THEORY (more like wishful thinking actually but whatever)
Wouldn't it be perfect if episode 7 (knowing what happened in ep 7 of season 1) started with Deborah waking up to see 'whateverthefuckhisnameis' lying next to her in bed and then he kisses her and transforms into Ava. And Deborah, instead of reacting the way Ava did in her own dream, is actually in shock, but a pleasant one.
She smiles. They kiss.
Deborah wakes up alone in her bus room, Marcus is knocking on her door.
