Not me scrolling through the Conclave tag only to see no one talk about the deliberate positioning and framing of the women in this movie.

Pulling up this movie I completely expected to only encounter Sister Agnes as the one woman we see in the trailer, the conclave a space that has been kept from the female members of the church. Now, color me surprised when I started the movie and most of the establishing shots we got were focused on all the women working in the Vatican.

And it is such a deliberate choice, it does the film a disservice not to talk about it.

Because while Cardinal Lawrence is having his fifteenth breakdown during sequestering and Bellini finds the ambitious asshole within himself, Ray does all the leg work, and Bel---- we see the women work.

We see the kitchens, we see them cook, we see them stand aside. Most of the time when the Cardinals are conspiring it is the women who interrupt because they are busy working, walking, running errands.

And there is power in that.

I think it is very deliberate how often (and with such lingering gaze) the camera shows us the lives of the other half - partially to connect to the wider themes of the movie, on how Bellini asks for women to get more power but never thanks them, and how Benitez stumps them all by thanking the women preparing their meals when asked to say the prayer (considering his own probably tumultuous relationship to gender within the church).

But it also stands in direct opposition to a long tradition in story telling: servants don't exist. How often the heroes of a regency romance are "alone" because the two hand maidens and three maids don't really count.

Conclave doesn't do that.

It doesn't let us look away.

Between all the petty drama, the politics, and the real life consequences of the conclave, we never stop looking at the people doing all the work.

Yes, we follow the ups and downs of Lawrence and Co, but in doing so the movie reminds us again and again of the women working the kitchen.

And that was just such a powerful artistic choice in a movie about a famously misogynistic church... I loved it. And I had to talk about it.

the face you make when the girl you latched onto in order to cope with your severe trauma shows up after going missing, so you forget that there's a gun pointed at you and run to her like a dog (someone's about to get shot)

‼️EMERGENCY FUNDS‼️🚨

Recently I have been very sick from spending a lot of time on the streets, enduring cold and this worsened my health, I was afraid this would happen, and it did. I have to be with oxygen cylinders to be able to breathe better when I got agitated, I am lacking a lot of air, and I am left without breathing, I am going to be discharged but I need to be in a cool, warm place, without humidity, and they ask me to take care of me a lot.

Unfortunately I do not have all the resources to keep me safe, that is why I need your help, whatever you can contribute to me will be of great help.

Goal:$620/$1200

Thank you for considering my request, and I hope for your understanding and support during these trying times❤️

Mlp infeccted au got me like

Canonically all of the Mane 6 should be able to survive in an regular stereotypical Infected AU if we are talking about Season 4 onwards.

Twilight is an Alicorn, if Celestia and Luna are useless, they could just give Twilight their Alicorn Magic...and HAVE YOU SEEN TWILIGHT AT SEASON 4 FINALE, I believe a huge chunk of Super Saiyan Twilight's power comes from the two sisters.

Rarity is a big Clean freak and will not hesitate to start blasting anything dirty looking

Pinkie pie has Pinkie Sense

Applejack is PHYSICAL DPS

Rainbow Dash can break the sound barrier with no ill side effects and PHYSICAL SUB DPS

Fluttershy is a Disney Princess and married to a being of Pure Chaos that can alter reality

Spike is a dragon.
