what is it about lana parrilla that so specifically screams 'woman who was essentially sold to a wealthy powerful old man as a young girl and waited years for a situation to arise to Murder him, has a horrible relationship with a stepdaughter she is too close in age to, and has learned to use the beauty she was exploited for to manipulate people and become the powerful one herself and uses Extreme Bitch Mode to keep people from viewing her as a human being' and why does she do it SO FUCKING WELL

#LIKE IT'S ALL SO VERY SPECIFIC #and she's just so fucking good #like casting directors what is up with this but also Thank You #i'm not even sorry for the rita spam you all knew it was coming #wwk #why women kill #lana parrilla #evil regals #regina mills #the evil queen #rita castillo #wwk s2

The trial was over quickly and was covered by every newspaper in the country. And the woman who’s only ambition in life was to be noticed, found herself the most famous murderess in American history. And while she knew that infamy was not the same as glory, Alma found, if she just squinted a bit, the two blurred together quite nicely. Even the jeers of the crowd crying for her blood sounded to her like the cheers of adoring fans. Yes, on the day she was sentenced to die, Alma got what she had wanted her whole life. People were finally looking at her. And each one of them knew her name. And for a middle-aged woman who had gone unnoticed for so long... it was truly a happy ending.

still really dont like ‘why women kill’ s2 but ive gotta say? the paralleling between alma and rita as the series goes on is So *chef’s kiss*

#the cryptid speaks #minor wwk s2 spoilersssss #alma started wearing plain brown dresses --> wearing fancy red/black dresses #rita started wearing fancy red/black dresses --> wearing plain brown dress[es]#and the season started with alma looking in the restaurant window and then rita was?#and that's just the visuals #the way they've been presented has changed too #u start by feeling really bad for alma and learning about her life and being on her side #but as it goes more in u learn less about her and focus on her awful present and u start disliking her #and with rita u started by only knowing her externally/how she presented herself and u dislike her bc she's rude #but then u learn more about her backstory and u start to feel bad for her and ur on her side!!#it's played really well so u can see the personality shifts if ur looking but even if ur not by the end it's Very Clear #so like again dont like this season but that? that's good shiz

Wwk s2 finale spoilers and a pro-Rita rant ahead, because I have a lot of feelings. Don't read if you haven't watched and are avoiding spoilers... also probably don't read if run-on sentences annoy you.

For the sake of full disclosure, I'm a Lana fan, and no, that isn't the sole reason I liked or defended or became attached to Rita Castillo. The depth she brought to her portrayal of the character certainly helped, but I would argue that's fair game.

I can only speak for myself, but beyond her early entertainment value and wit, I appreciated Rita Castillo because she was a strong, complex woman who survived poverty and an abusive marriage, grew up witnessing firsthand how having money and beauty and power could change the way people treated one another, and when she found a way to gain those things through Carlo (which, side note, isn't an entirely fair comparison to her relationship with Scooter and his infidelity, because Carlo's offer to her was very much transactional from the start, whereas Rita had feelings for Scooter), it ultimately came from a place of wanting to be treated like a person and believing riches were the way out of the hell she'd been living in. In some ways, she wasn't exactly wrong about that, but being married to Carlo turned out to be a (not-so-)different kind of hell.

I'm of the opinion that, even at her worst, she was redeemable. She could be mean and spiteful, and she explosively misdirected her anger when she initially learned who Dee was to Alma, and there's no denying that.

On the other hand, she was also capable of the kind of selfless love (Isabel) she came to admire. She was capable of softening at the "other woman" in her relationship upon finding out she was pregnant, and then having what looked like a genuine desire to help her financially. We saw glimpses into what she truly wanted and knew mattered in life before any of her jail-time musings broke through her facade.

What stings about her death is that we had also seen her pay the cosmic debt for her actions tenfold already in episodes 7-9. I know she wasn't a saint, but... to recap, she was framed for murder, became penniless after holding up her end of a transactional marriage a decade longer than was promised (+ in spite of Carlo's canon verbal abuse and drinking), and lost the one person who truly loved and looked out for her. I'll never believe that was what she "deserved" when her crimes consisted of... making bitchy comments and humiliating people.

To rub salt in the wound - and this part is what makes me feel unsettled with this story in a way I can't adequately put into words - Harry, her abuser was one of the 3 men who apparently had enough sheer luck to survive a fucking gunshot in the 1940s, outliving her (granted, I think the matter of whether or not she's actually dead was left ambiguous, probably unintentionally, but that's a post for another time). So... yeah. I'm upset about the way her story ended and wish she had gotten a chance at happiness, and I absolutely will argue that there are valid reasons for Rita fans to feel this way.
