#1670 spoilers

You know what was great about Zofia and Rozalia's romance?

The very fact that Zofia is a hardcore religious woman with obsession about death (her favourite "motivational slogan" is memento mori).

It was hilarious, but also so real to see her anger at Rozalia at first. She felt angry at her, no matter what Rozalia did, and at first some may think that it's due to her aversion to the "city folk", but in truth it was always because Rozalia was beautiful, sensual, smelled nice and was tempting Zofia to do bad, unchristian things. And at first she did try to fight it. Anger was helping with that, but that anger couldn't really last long near Rozalia, the beautiful seductive flower from the city. The subtle breaking of the ice when they danced was enough to give Zofia LIFE. Before that, she was a woman who only thought about death and how they will be all punished and tormented in hell, who tended to lie on the floor in cross position, with no desires of her own apart from wanting to marry her children off, especially her daughter. Rozalia's sudden appearance in Zofia's life was like some spell to lift depression. Zofia turned into someone unrecognizable, someone who looked forward to life, letters shared and new days spent with Rozalia.

Christianity is associated a lot with homophobia, but it didn't stop Zofia from seeking Rozalia. Her faith played a role (in tandem with the societal values and standards set for women) in the suppression of her own desires, but couldn't stop her queer longing for Rozalia.

And it was so nice to not be fed some angsty existential crisis here about "how she - a religious woman, committed a sin" or something. Hell, it almost seemed that their religion was meaningless to their relationship. Rozalia wearing a literal cross on her neck as a necklace even spelled to me that both of them were religious christian women, mothers and wives whose love blossomed regardless of all of that.

As if faith was completely unimportant when it came to love.

And it was not religion that destroyed their romance.

In the end, it was family that stood in their way.

Okay, episode 3 of 1670, I didn't know that 'repressed lesbian cradles the cut off ring finger of the lady who was hitting on her to her chest' was something I wanted in my life, but well done for giving it to me anyway.

[slaviclore]

what would be absolutely hilarious to me for future seasons of 1670 is a running gag where zofia has like a constant string of lesbian romances where she gets to do whatever she wants and they're all super obvious and public, but none of the other characters (besides her lovers obvi) ever catch on... which is what happened in this season, but i want it run into the ground, i want it taken to the absolutely most ridiculous degree possible

No but the repressed lesbianism of it all, the sacrificing your own sexuality for the "family" bc "this is Poland", the absolute batshit quote that was "if goodness and love stand in the way of family, family crushes them both to pulp", no kurwa muszę mówić dalej
