The last thing the Priest says to Fleabag being “I love you too” is actually something that can be so personal

no one answered my last post so i guess i have to do everything myself, buckle up for some fleabag analysis.

when fleabag says “this is a love story” in season 2 episode 1, the love story is between her and claire. listen i love the hot priest as much as anyone else, but to me the most compelling arc of s2 is the sisters rebuilding, redefining, and strengthening their relationship instead of leaning into growing apart the way we’ve seen them default to doing.

when we meet them in season 1, they’re civil and clearly see each other fairly often, but they aren’t close. we only see a few conversations that don’t end in a fight. they both clearly care, but they seem incapable of interacting without accidentally pushing each other’s worst buttons. there are several pivotal points where we see them turn away from each other, whether because of other people or their own conflicting needs, insecurities, and personalities

-after their mother’s death, claire had martin and fleabag had boo. these separate support systems combined with the family dynamic their father described, wherein fleabag very much takes after and was closer to their mother, meant they almost certainly grieved separately. as we see at the funeral, grief clearly looked very different on each of them, and they did not react well to each other’s coping styles

-their father’s new relationship clearly drove a wedge between him and the girls, and while the godmother needles at both of them, she clearly targets fleabag more often (almost certainly reacting to her resemblance to her mother), only occasionally sniping at claire. as a result of this and her determination to view her own family (and marriage) in a positive light, claire maintains a level of denial about their godmother, leaving fleabag to deal with it alone

-after boo’s death claire almost certainly reached out, but the distance between them and their clashing coping styles would’ve mixed VERY badly with fleabag’s guilt over her role in the tragedy. if claire’s after what you did to boo jab at the sexhibition (almost certainly fueled by martin referencing it while telling “his side of the story” re his infidelity to claire) is anything to go by, definitely martin and possibly claire were judgemental about it, and even if it wasn’t to fleabag’s face, she would have felt it, real or imagined.

-after the incident with martin, claire again retreats to her denial and determination to be a successful person (happy marriage included), and leans into judging fleabag alongside the rest of the family, deliberately choosing to ignore the signs of crisis she has demonstrated she can see in fleabag, probably in no small part because all of her attempts to do anything or help in any way or even reach out have somehow been exactly the wrong thing to say to her “broken sister”

because it’s not that we never see them reach out to one another. there are frequent moments where one or the other tries to bridge the gap. but there’s always a defense mechanism or insecurity (or husband) in the way of the other’s ability to accept that olive branch. they both feel they’ve repeatedly tried only to be rebuffed by the other.

but in the second season, they’ve spent some time in total radio silence from one another. it has explicitly canonically been over a year since they’ve seen each other or spoken. given the space to not constantly be rubbing against each other’s raw insecurities and grief, as well as the extenuating (WILD) circumstances of the s2e1 dinner in particular, they’re finally in a position to reconnect.

by the end of season 2 they still aren’t perfect. but they’re able to have a vulnerable conversation and accept help and advice from one another and feel like they’re on the same team, quite possibly for the first time since their mother got sick.

we’ve gone from claire sniping at fleabag to keep her nose out of other people’s marriages to refusing to let fleabag leave the room while she confronts her husband. we go from fleabag flinching away from a clearly rare hug in s1e1 to

“is it a running through the airport kind of love?”

“....the only person i’d run through an airport for is you”

I've always wondered why Fleabag's godmother was so cruel against her compared to Claire and I think I finally know why. Here's my two cents but I think it's because Fleabag look so much like her mother. It has been hinted multiple time thorough the serie. Fleabag is loud, bold, unapologetic and most importantly FUN. I think Godmother really misses her, they must have been good friends since she's the Godmother of her childs. She did a sculpture inspired by her. I cannot believe she's not coping in her own way at the lost of her best friend. But Godmother feels obviously threatened by the spirit of her even after her passing. She changes the house, she can't cope when people try to remember her and is obviously upset and jealous. As she was her former student she must feel very insecure that despite her passing, the mother's presence is still so strong. That's why Fleabag is a threat to her. When she's here, her lover (Fleabag's dad) despite the awkwardness, wants to be close to her. They joke, they need eachother. And it's even more clear at the wedding while her dad can't let go of her to marry Godmother. Why he is grabbing her hand so tightly. He's holding onto his old love. But he has to let her go to move on. And then it's painfully beautiful than in Fleabag's ending - after she and the Priest say their last good bye despite all their love - Fleabag leaves with her Mother's status. As if to have a token for all this love. Her father's love for her mom, Godmother's love and admiration for her and her love for the priest. Boo's gone, Claire's probably gone ... she have no one else to give it to.

"I just don't know what to do with all the love I have for her."

"Kneel"

(I.D and a version with darker colours under the cut)

the unedited colours.

[ start I.D:

the first image shows the scene from Fleabag season 2 where the Priest tells Fleabag to kneel. He holds her face with his hands as she looks up to him, he stands slightly to the left of her. She has a solem and slightly sad expression and is rendered in a painterly style. She is more detailed thann the rest of the image. Around her head are yellow stylized cricles made out of dots and lines resebling a halo.

The priest has his back turned to the viewer and is looking down at Fleabag. His back is cloured in cooler tones than the rest of the image, which is painted in mostly reds, browns and some green tones. He is rendered without decirnable facial features and seems to desolve into shapes and what appears to be smoke.

The background is made of simple clours blocked together to reseble the confession chamber.

end I.D.]

I'm sorry, but if he isn't a hot catholic priest with a beautiful neck that wants to know my sins and is followed around by foxes, is he really the one?

the "people are all we've got" phrase touched a sensible part inside of me that strongly denies solitude as one of my biggest fears. and oh my god.

also, the reason why the priest can read fleabag like a book(bible) is because he IS basically fleabag. they had both taken a vow of celibacy when they met each other, and he expresses that it also took a chaotic past for him to evaluate and realize that he needed that vow to find peace. they are grappling with the exact same internal battle, they are mirror images destined to press into each other, decalcomania

I am not saying that I am obsessed with the hot priest character from Fleabag. All I am saying is that if he was a priest in my church, I would become a theist and go to church every fucking day.
