in season two villanelle understood love as “you’re mine.” now, she understood love as letting eve go. but eve couldn’t let her go. she looked back first.
i’m sorry but. the fact that when villanelle turned around, eve was already turned around and staring back at her. the fact that for the first time in… ever? someone is actively choosing villanelle, completely of their own volition, when she was so ready to be rejected once again thus confirming her growing fears that she’s an unlovable monster. but eve! chose! her! and that’s on pride month ladies
YES i can't believe how terribly broker v has been. It's so different to see her so vulnerable for multiple episodes in a row. We've gotten very few genuine smiles from villanelle these last couple episodes, many of them have felt forced and part of her facade of there being nothing wrong. But here we see mildly surprised soft villanelle and I.... just couldn't handle.
That little smile when Villanelle saw Eve tho. Like, our girl has been so BROKEN. As broken as I’ve ever seen her. All the family drama, attacking Dasha so she could let her target go (effectively putting a bullseye on her back with the twelve), and watching Konstantin collapse right in front of her from a heart attack. Home girl was sitting on that train absolutely defeated. But then she saw Eve running down the platform towards her and I-I just…I have no words. Villanelle’s smile and wave said it all
