I don't know if this has been said before, but Camila is the personification of those pink, sparkly weapons with Hello Kitty stickers.
She's the cutest little thing, and she will absolutely kill you.

I've been thinking about this after another rewatch and I'm not sure if someone else brought it up before. In the Avatrice car scene in S02E02 Colossians 3:9-10, why does Bea say Miguel is "easy on the eyes" and not hot or cute, etc? Usually, the response to something like Ava's question would be, "Why? …because he's hot/cute?"
Married couple jokes aside, I'm wondering if Bea's response has to do with her formal upbringing? Numerous private tutorials might isolate her from keeping updated with modern slang. Ava would still be correct in saying she's 70 lol
Or is Bea coming from her denial of feelings? Since Bea lived a lifestyle that conformed to heteronormative ideals, admitting Miguel is a guy who could be conventionally attractive to "straight girl" Ava would mean admitting someone besides her is more acceptable and suitable for Ava's affections.
"Because he's easy on the eyes?" isn't just Bea's formal way of speaking but maybe it's also her way of denying her own feelings and desires. Rejecting the sense that Miguel is hot or cute enough for Ava also rejects the idea that he could be a potential love interest for her. What do you guys think? Someone tell me I might be thinking too much about this hahaha

Loosing my mind a little bit over the way that Beatrice tackles Ava away from Micheal in episode six, and it’s impulsive and instinctual, she sees Ava risking herself, about to sacrifice herself, and her gut reaction is just no I can’t let this happen and she just acts on it. No thought, no precision, no elegant roll or anything just a panicked full body tackle. And then throughout episode seven she’s having this massive crisis of conscience as she realises she prioritised Ava over defeating Adriel; over saving the world; “I let my emotions blind me to the mission.” She tries to retreat, to hide from the depth of feeling that scares her, and she rejects Ava’s offer to run away together. But then in episode eight, when she realises that Ava fully intends to go through yet again with the sacrifice plan, she goes “no fuck this” and doubles down on it. She keeps prioritising Ava, prioritises keeping Ava alive any way she can. The way Ava said in episode seven “the Beatrice I know never stops fighting. Never looses hope” and Beatrice doesn’t stop fighting. Doesn’t loose hope that there’s a better way, different path, any other way. She even tries to put the crown on her, she tries anything to stop this happening. And she’s not saying maybe we’re just delaying the inevitable anymore, now she’s saying: I love her; this is my devotion; I will not see her die

Beatrice puts a soft hand on your shoulder. Looking up into the mirror, you make a striking couple, a portrait that your mother would never hang in your ancestral home. Beatrice's unassuming softness, your manufactured intimidation.

thinking about ava’s face when beatrice tells her, so serious and so earnest “i cannot watch you die” and ava, who was gearing up for an argument, who was so pissed off two seconds ago, visibly just. pauses.
thinking about ava planning her sacrifice so that beatrice wouldn’t be present - and wouldn’t even know where to go to find her.
thinking about ava’s desperate “beatrice get away from me!” when she can’t even stand on her own, when she’s hurt and bleeding out, and scared. about “i told you not to follow me” and how part of her fears for beatrice’s life, in that final moment of danger, certainly ; but also ava knows she won’t survive this last fight, and though she can’t prevent her death, she tries, until the very end, to protect bea. she doesn’t want beatrice to watch her die.

I can't stop laughing.
Imagine if Ava and Vincent got walked in on during this:
Tumblr media
The others barge in, and these two are taking their clothes off. No context. What would their first thoughts have been? Such a what the fuck scenario.
I think Bea would have gone from love interest to grandma real quick. You know, whack him to death with a broom before asking any questions. Since Superion wasn't there to briefly turn into Nonna.

insisting on this story was a form of mind control but for the most part, it worked.

Been thinking about this scene a lot. How it echoes their conversation from before.
A response. A solution to what Beatrice told her. Ava, who was so against dying—because death is not a reward, just an empty chasm that renders everything meaningless—now prepared to lay down her life if it means Beatrice gets to rest, if it means that the war inside Beatrice’s head will stop.
Tumblr media
Beatrice, who is bound by duty but finds her heart pulled in another direction. Who might want to run with Ava but can’t. She’s a Sister Warrior. Her duty is to the Halo and its Bearer. So she will tell Ava to run, because that is the best way to protect her. To protect the mission.  Because that is the only way both of her goals align. As long as the Halo remains safe, so does Ava.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But it also means that she can’t join Ava. Her Sisters are dying. She has a duty to the Order. To her mission (protect the Halo, protect Ava) and so she will watch over from afar. She may not be ready, but she is prepared.  
But Ava is not. Ava, who will not leave unless Beatrice is by her side. If she runs, Beatrice will run herself ragged, spending every waking minute to keep everyone safe. Beatrice, who will never get a chance to live her life because she spent that time making sure Ava could live. And Ava doesn’t want that. Not unless they do it together.
So Ava chooses. Chooses the mission for Beatrice. Breaks away first, obscures her true plan until the very last minute. (But Beatrice still finds her. Beatrice, who will always follow Ava. Always by her side until the very end.)
To be a Halo Bearer is to be a martyr. Ava rejected this fate until the very end. And even after that. Choosing to go into the portal, choosing to be separated from Beatrice so that they may both live.
Since the very beginning, Ava knows she has been living on borrowed time. But god damn it, she’s going to steal as much of it as she can.
Ava chooses to go through the Arc and Beatrice chooses to let her go. Both strengthened by their faith in the other, because they will always find their way back to each other.
Ava has never gone somewhere that’s kept Beatrice from following. Even now.

ok I finished my rewatch here is the S1 recap brought to you by my brain juices having been put in a blender after that. I will tell you guys, rewatching S1 after watching S2 is so incredibly rewarding this show is just. really good!! it is!! now here are my various disorganized thoughts:
shannon's death scene is so much more hard-hitting on a rewatch. the way when she's being carried she asks for mary then reaches for her is so incredibly intimate she's surrounded by her sisters but she wants mary at her side and the ensuing goodbyes are very much heart-wrenching and there is NO way to read shannon/mary as not romantic especially since we later get hints from everyone that it was pretty much an open secret? everyone knew their relationship was special. props to the cast for delivering such an emotional scene that comes this early in the show (the tear falling from beatrice's face to land on shannon's as she kisses her forehead and says "I'll miss you, sister" is just. Cinéma. Filmé)
the way it is stressed time and again that resurrection is something the halo provides specifically for ava. there's also the way there's a direct parallel with areala bc they're both the only warrior nuns to have received the halo AGAINST their wills and I think you could say resurrection happened for areala too which is very interesting and very neat (the way these two bookend the cycle of warrior nun being fed into the church killing machine)
the way it is basically textual that vincent was the drunk driver that caused ava's accident and that is INSANE. they're both at the center of how the trajectory of their lives was fundamentally rewritten and they're both the cause that sets them on their path. vincent becomes her father figure and develops genuine affection for her and he fills a place in her life that has always been empty before and this really sets the scene for their S2 interactions.
on the topic of vincent there are so many scenes where he stands around in apparent deep meditation and comes afterwards with answers or a set course and those are literally the moments he gets his visions/messages from adriel and it happens right under our noses and we're none the wiser!! you only catch it on rewatch
ava's bisexuality is hinted at so early like literally the first person to hit on her and offer her a drink is a girl!! and then when she escapes the cat's cradle she says "I'm gonna make love to" pointed look at a girl "someone" like it was there right at the beginning
JC is the best person to have a first lay with! I am a person who subscribes to ship having to be each other's true loves not necessarily their first loves and JC was safe and harmless enough for ava to explore things that were denied her in her past life (sexuality, desire, infatuation) bc in the grand scheme of things JC does not matter. and ava subconsciously KNOWS this. ava is never 100% vulnerable or open with JC and not just bc of, you know, the supernatural things happening around and to her constantly but even the most basic information abt herself she withholds for a LONG time. JC is very interesting thematically bc he's what ava thinks freedom looks like and what she thinks she wants but absolutely not what she needs (which is basically what she explores all throughout S1). He's an uprooted vagrant person not beholden to anyone but his own whims but that means he never develops any significant bonds there's no purpose and no real belonging with him. Hell, he leaves his partners of 18 months for ava who he met a week ago. His entire character is based on leaving whereas ava wants, deep down, someone who will stay for and with her. all throughout.
the vincent monologue at the end of episode 1 hits different on a rewatch "prophets are hard to come by in these times" and he went and fashioned himself into one!! this whole things has been him trying to find a type of salvation that the church does not offer him!! especially since he's haunted by who he was in the past and when he joined the OCS he thought maybe this darkness is a demon that can be exorcised and confronted that it was in fact all him he wanted a miracle powerful enough to banish that very darkness. adriel probably sensed that vulnerability in him and came to him in visions using that to get him onboard
mary's whole s1 arc is basically that tough action guy whose wife gets killed and he goes on a rampage to find out who did it and why. she's a female john wick. which. again. I am puzzled by the fact that shannon and mary was apparently not written to read as romantic?? my dearest people you WROTE it that way. you tapped into the romance tropes.
lilith is somehow both an eldest daughter (derogatory) and a middle child (derogatory). and also a bitch and a delight and I love her so much
JC. repeatedly. and I say. REPEATEDLY. offers ava moments of vulnerability where he opens up abt himself and his life and ava offers NOTHING in return. ava is extremely guarded even as she wants him and only offers up her story when she has to and even then it's mostly to distract him from asking questions abt who the people after her are. and that's juxtaposed with how ava, after that very painful moment with mother superion and being offered comfort from beatrice, legitimately opens up to beatrice almost instantly there. Beatrice hugs her once and ava is like I spent 12 years not feeling anything below my chest I didn't kill myself I have a very complicated relationship with nuns and thus catholicism bc I wasn't treated well like the contrast there is mindblowing.
bringing me to my next point: ava instinctively: 1/knows beatrice is safe, 2/knows she is safe with beatrice, 3/ wants to trust beatrice SO BAD. and she wants intensely, for beatrice to believe her and (then in the back end of season once they're paired up) to believe in her
ava fleeing the OCS is done so well bc in 24hrs she gets put through mother superion's psychological warfare, then she hears abt the previous halobearer who I'm sure she was picturing as someone of a certain age then sees the picture and realizes shannon died young, then she goes visiting the murals of the cat's cradle and all the warrior nuns are pictured young and fighting demons, constantly, AND THEN she reads that part abt how areala died her second death YOUNG too. she gets hit with the reality of this fate, the danger of it, the certainty of a death that'll come sooner rather than later as she's appointed humanity's champion while having to fight horrors beyond a normal human's comprehension constantly. ofc my girl bailed. it's all done so very well everything that has to do with ava's arc is insanely well written
jillian calls beatrice "a petite member of the clergy" when she sees the footage of beatrice taking out an entire security team and that is SO FUCKING FUNNY. imagine calling beatrice petite to her face
on that topic beatrice's hallway fight gets projected to a room full of journalists and I am obsessed with that. did she go viral on the internet were there memes abt ninja nuns going feral
all throughout when something happens that pushes against the Norms and Rules beatrice will question it and it can come off as cold but really it's bc Beatrice strives on structure!! if she has to step outside the bounds of it, it better be righteous and worth it. like when she asks if vincent is intent on not giving the halo to lilith and keeping it within ava and he says yes her first reflex is but lilith is next in line. but the politics. this isn't to say beatrice was FOR killing ava like the moment she hears it could kill her she's NOT down to take it away from her but everytime the Order of Things is challenged Beatrice has to be walked through as to why. and if it's WORTH it. which oh boy the way this ties to her S2 arc makes me slightly insane bc ava comes barreling through that structure and beatrice says yes. she is worth upending my whole world for anyway-
Which is NOT to say that beatrice will take well to any kind of authority you actually have to earn her respect otherwise beatrice has. absolutely. zero chill. the tone she takes with duretti who's the fucking CARDINAL. from VATICAN. a pope HOPEFUL?? she is polite yes but curt and cold and very much flirting with impertinence like duretti tries to seduce her into his clique the way he did lilith and it fails astronomically and she basically tells him to go fuck himself?? to A CARDINAL?? DIRECT OVERSIGHT OVER THE OCS?? FROM THE VATICAN??? "you may always count on me to remain faithful. to God." and did you call him a power hungry whore too did you give him the finger beatrice???????
anyway I miss this show so fucking much

I know that this has definitely already been talked about, but I’m loosing my mind over the fact that we only actually see Beatrice with her fancy chain mail face covering twice in the whole thing. I hadn’t realised that? I’d seen it in so many gifs before I watched the show and I assumed it was a staple of her battle outfit, but she actually only has it down twice. And the fact that when we do see her wear it it means serious business, and the way the very fact we only see it twice is used to highlight just how much has changed in her priorities between seasons one and two is absolutely brilliant and driving me insane, actually

Wen Ning being chained up in the Jin treasure room/murder basement when Wei Wuxian is resurrected is actually the part of the story that makes the least sense to me.
