I went to a catholic school from kindergarten to partway through 4th grade and when i was in second grade we did like a practice first communion and i remember really liking the practice wine they used, which they said tastes the same as the actual communion wine, turns out that was a lie, i felt so betrayed when i took communion and the wine tasted like shit
They used grape juice for the practice wine, in what world does grape juice taste the same as wine????

i NEED to post about yellowjackets and I need to be understood and I need mutuals so let me talk about it
you know what character I think is underappreciated? (at least from what I've seen so far, I've been in the fandom for like a day)
Laura Lee.
I have to preface this by saying I'm not a fan of organized religion and I do think it is flawed, but I also am not a fan of flat one-dimensional characterization. a lot of devout christian characters in media are portrayed as like, just that. just christian. just devout. but Laura Lee is a person! she's a real teenage girl! she dances with everyone, she sings along to Salt-n-Peppa, we don't get a scene where she's like "oh I know them, i burned their CD at one of our gatherings recently" or whatever, she can just enjoy them! she doesn't turn her nose up at Nat who is like, the picture of what christians regularly regard as a sinner. she is able to be compassionate and kind and she has a purpose in this series. i think that's really great.
idk why that stuck out so much to me. i guess I can't think at the top of my head about devout christian characters in media who are allowed to be like, people. and I have a lot of criticisms of Christianity, hey, I was technically raised orthodox christian and I can't say it's given me much except for chronic anxiety but. I think it's not a hot take to say that christians are three-dimensional human beings too, basically
