Ok, But That Bed Is Only Accessible From One Side. And Given The Season Two Mournful Bed Touching Ava

Ok, but that bed is only accessible from one side. And given the season two mournful bed touching Ava does, combined with season one’s mention of sleeping Poorly (see chatting with Mary as they hike), my guess is that Ava sleeps on the accessible side. Meaning Bea sleeps close to the wall. Bea who wakes up first and then has to climb over Ava to get out of bed. Ava whose not used to feeling things and is constantly squirming even when awake. Constantly reaching out and touching. How many times did Bea try to climb over Ava to get out of bed only to get caught and snuggled by Ava?

Ok, but I also feel like Bea wouldn’t just pretend her kids aren’t there and push them back without looking at them. Like, yes, this is a very important meeting and the whole world is potentially watching but these are her kids and they come first. Bea’s going to do the opposite of what her parents did and make sure they know they come first. So when the toddler comes up she just reaches down a hand, grabs them by the jumper and sets them in her lap without pause. And when the toddler pats her on the face and calls her name “mum” she looks at the camera and says, dead serious, “My apologizes, something very important just came up.” Then she looks down at her toddler and goes “yes darling?” And the news studio just lets it happen because a) adorable and b) turning off her camera would just make them look like assholes. 

So when Ava stumbles into the room (literally) and hustles the infant away she has to come back for the toddler who is explain very serious things to her wife on national television. (“mommy go potty I come say hi”). Ava’s 100% ready to die of embarrassment when she grabs their toddler from Bea’s lap but Bea grabs her for a quick kiss and a ‘thank you’ so that makes it a little better. And no, she doesn’t care that all of national television saw her look at her wife with wide eyed adoration. Or walk into the door she closed because she was too busy starring at her wife. Who just smirked smuggly and returned to her interview.

😂 if it’s canonverse, ava in her haste to get the kids out asap b4 they can disrupt beatrice’s meeting even further and so she phases in and/or out of the room when she goes to get the kids not realizing that’s the most disruptive thing there 😭😭😭

if it’s non canonverse ava, and a no powers universe ava, while trying to grab the kids she probably trips or knocks something down or vv obviously very nearly does so

the only reason canonverse ava didn’t is because she’s a trained fighter and fought in a whole holy (🥁) war and the urgency of trying to get her & beatrice’s kids in and out without being even more disruptive kicked that part of her in, but even then it was probably a near thing lmao

Re this ask and this original post

Canonverse Ava phasing into the room then immediately back out with the kids is a hilarious visual. It would just be a blip on the screen and then the kids are gone,,, like one of those Bigfoot sighting pictures (the only example I can come up with lmaoo).

Non canonverse Ava wears grippy socks around the house 1000% so in trying to slide into the room she just ends up falling face first (maybe…. maybe this was inspired by real events in my life… maybe)

Wonder how this pairs with people who have ADHD using sugar to self-medicate dopamine. Is it ‘sugar rush’ kicking in or is it dopamine production dropping back to ‘regular’ (aka not enough) levels? Correlation is not causation. But also, our minds are designed to find patterns even if it’s the *wrong* one. 

i learned that sugar does not cause hyperactivity in children. This myth is based on a single 1978 study; no subsequent study has shown a relationship (x)

Ava’s disability has a massive impact on the story line and the theme of the first season. It very much shapes her character and her choices. It also doesn’t go completely away, even with a literal divine plot (mobility) device. I suspect that anyone whose upset at how ‘slow’ the show is went into it with the expectation that the story was “protagonist is chosen, protagonists makes token protest, something narratively happens that forces protagonist to get on board with saving the world/fighting the bad guy, end credits of first episode roll, second episode begins with protagonist fully on board except a pithy one liner halfway through the season that calls back to the fact that they didn’t start on board.”

That’s not the Warrior Nun story. That’s the story that leads to ‘monster of the week’ first seasons (Buffy, Supernatural, Grimm, Charmed, Legacies, etc.). That’s so common that we as an audience almost expect it. We expect the ‘reluctant’ protagonist to get over whatever silly hang up they have so we can live vicariously through them. We wait impatiently for the narrative to plow through that piece so we can get to the ‘real’ story. Because that’s how these narratives choose to introduce us to the world, with the protagonist. 

But Warrior Nun does it differently. It intentionally slows that down and says “wait a minute, our character has agency actually and all she’s wanted was to live a normal life. So she’s going to try her darnedest to do that now that she can.” And Ava knows its not the same. She knows that JC’s friends aren’t hers and this life isn’t hers. But it could be. 

One of the things I love more about Warrior Nun (and Ava) is that she decides to make the choice to fight. It’s not forced on her. They tried forcing it on her and it fails. Her choices matter. Good or bad, right or wrong, her choices matter. And when given the choice, when given the information and space to decide, Ava makes the caring one. Ava steps up not because she was forced to but because she wants to. And I think that just goes back to the theme of choosing who we are that lies at the heart of Warrior Nun. Ava’s disability was something done to her. Ava becoming the halo bearer was something done to her. Who Ava is has always been the person who decides how she handles it. And who she is, is beautiful.

Hmm so it turns out many people consider Ava a bad protagonist and find her annoying??? And that the show is slow??? And that it endorses disability erasure???

I hardly ever fall in love with main leads especially 'the chosen one' types and yet Ava was so easy to get behind and even relatable and I love her so much. And god I wish the show was even slower and it had more episodes like I wanted to see the dynamics between the sisters in depth, Ava and Bea's relationship progressing, little lost moments, their quiet times, their training sessions, them joking around and being normal idk. It still went by too fast?

And I might be wrong here but to me it wasn't disability erasure. Ava's disability is very much a part of her throughout. It's why she spends half the season running away because she hasn't lived yet. It's why she can't give up the halo either. It's why she can't drain the halo too much or can't fight as good as other warrior nuns (minus not being trained yet of course). It's her deepest fear. And it is so fundamental to her and Bea's relationship too like Bea touching her after that fight with Crimson, Bea reassuring her, Bea understanding her fears and hesitance....her disability is a very much constant presence throughout the narrative even though under the surface and ahhhhh I want to scream so bad rn.

I'm straight up not having a good day today and then finding out about these shitty opinions about this beloved sunshine of a character—

Are people allowed to have opinions I don't agree with? Yes.

Do I want to hit them on the head with a stick despite? Also Yes.

Now I'm wondering am I biased because I've read way too many fics and post analysis' and therefore see more depth than there was? Does it even matter?

“There’s a Japanese phrase that I like: koi no yokan. It doesn’t mean love at first sight. It’s closer to love at second sight. It’s the feeling when you meet someone that you’re going to fall in love with them. Maybe you don’t love them right away, but it’s inevitable that you will.”

— Nicola Yoon, The Sun Is Also a Star

I’m not sure if I remember correctly but

In one of NPSS’s interviews, when asked how will xiaoge react to Wu Xie’s scars on his arm, NPSS answered:

“He will draw stick figures on them.”
