let me say something about grant and women’s sports that I don’t think many people know. he traveled to spain earlier this year to interview barca’s women’s team. he got long and very productive quotes from the team’s best players. he could’ve stopped there, he already had the story. but no, he stayed, he interviewed pretty much every single player there. and then he transcribed/asked the for translation of every single interview, even though he already knew he wasn’t gonna use some parts.

wanna know why? because he said they took the time to talk to him even if they didn’t have to, so the least he could do was to return the favor and go through every single thing they said. that’s respect. both to the women he interviewed and the profession.

in a world of glorified bloggers and people who rush to post breaking news on social media, he took the time to write actual stories with real sources. he took the time and actually invested in women’s football. he focused on everything and everyone, not just the stars. he treated everyone with the respect they so rightfully deserved.

today truly is a heartbreaking day

100% agree this was originally going to be between Mary and Beatrice. I too hope we get a S3 and that Toya is able to return. Her presence was so missed this season. And remember the person who told Lilith she was gone was Vincent and he’s not a reliable source. The writers have left enough ambiguity to bring her back.

yes, exactly!

also, apparently KTY semi-confirmed this last week on twitter which I am not on. glad to know my spidey-senses weren’t completely off base.

S3 has to exist if only for the triumphant return of those shotguns.

they’re never yours. they never last.

There are a number of lines in s2 that I believe were originally intended for Mary, but were given to various other characters due to their importance to the story and executing the emotional arcs of the season. In particular, I keep coming back to Camila’s intercession to Beatrice’s doubt concerning Ava. The conversation between Beatrice and Camila is lovely - someone offering back to Beatrice what she so freely offers others, whatever she needs. It shows how Camila is more perceptive than she gets credit for, but also speaks to how the normally mission-driven Beatrice has shifted her dedication to Ava in a way that everyone can see.

However, the lines Camila says about the Warrior Nun? 

“It’s easy to fall in love with the Warrior Nun. It’s loving the Warrior Nun that’s the hard part. They’re never yours. They never last.”

They have Mary written all over them.

We haven’t seen or heard about Camila having any special relationship with the Warrior Nuns of her time, which is likely just Shannon and maybe Suzanne. She’s the young recruit - new and shiny and still impulsive, not yet a part of the main team at the beginning of the show. She wasn’t even there when Shannon died. It doesn’t exactly make sense for Camila to have this evolved emotional understanding of the pitfalls of a close relationship with the Warrior Nun if she was never close to one herself.

Mary, on the other hand, did. Mary who ignored Ava and the halo in the beginning to find out what happened to Shannon. Mary who trusted her instincts when they told her something was off, something was wrong with how Shannon was killed. 

Mary who was the closest to Shannon. Mary alone who was wrapped in Shannon’s arms in the photograph in Shannon’s cell. 

Mary who, along with the others, resented Ava for not being Shannon. Mary who understood Ava more than the rest because of her relationship with Shannon. Mary who resented the halo for what it did to Shannon.

Mary who was ready to watch Duretti burn for what she thought he did to Shannon. Mary who ran into a horde of possessed people because of Vincent and Adriel and what they did to Shannon.

It's Mary who knows what it's like to fall in love with a Warrior Nun. What it's like to love a Warrior Nun. What it's like to so desperately want someone who has sworn to give their life to a higher calling.

It's Mary who understands that the duty of the Warrior Nun means she can never give all of herself to you.

It's Mary who loved Shannon.

It’s Mary who would have seen Beatrice laid bare in the aftermath of it all – her devotion to Ava, the cracks in her façade, the arms length she tries to keep between herself and the truth. 

It’s Mary who would have seen herself reflected in Beatrice’s struggle and who would have offered her the salvation of truth.

And it’s Mary, the woman who lost Shannon and never gave up on the injustice of her death, who would offer Beatrice this fellowship: 

It was easy to fall in love with Shannon. It was difficult to love Shannon. She was never mine. She would never last. 

And I loved her anyway.

It’s actually so embarrassing that they’ve all backed out like it wasn’t the most meaningful gesture in the first place (“one love” and some random colours that aren’t the gay pride flag, okay) but to step back and say oh sorry didn’t mean to upset you we don’t care THAT much when they get some slight resistance? Please.
