antiope!mary and yelle!shannon send post

MMM!!

em i love this. antiope!mary, with her quiver of exploding arrows, absolutely begging shannon to have a single emotionally intelligent non-self sacrificial bone in her body. literally grabbing her by the shoulders trying to get her to have a reaction to serious things that isn’t closed-off stoicism (bc shannon isn’t superficially yelle, she’s not an outwardly groovy stoner funguy, but it's a different expression of the same thing, of throwing herself so hard into a Cause, and into the protection of her friends, to the point where she has accepted she has no worth beyond it). mary!antiope pleading please care about your own life, your own life, your own life—the world is better with you in it, the best thing that you can do for the world isn't die.

(please. i love you. i don't want you to fucking die.)

#hearing them all saying 'i fucking LOVE you' to each other #i think that would heal me actually #god bea having the katja scene with little bea...#bea holding her own hand as she sits alone on the train to boarding school. even if no one else was there to share this with you I was #antiope!mary to katja!bea. seeing that. knowing the weight of that. 'i love you‚ bitch' and taking them with her #sidenote i think there's also elements of antiope!shannon?#at least in the way u wrote her in tmlt #the military family #the weight of leadership #(the impossible but INCREDIBLY amusing image of them all going out wasted to get shannon a “Leader” tramp stamp...bless)#...being tall...#and then antiope's struggle with Legacy TM is much more lilith too #(what are you gonna be lily? are you gonna follow in the footsteps of all your family before you? be a good little soldier?)#but then mary and lilith also have a kind of antiope/sam thing going on that i love #(mary to lilith. you can't DO that to other people)#also katja!bea....maybe a touch of ostentatia!ava? ostentatia!ava with the provocative phone background that katja is supposed to see?#anyway em this post unlocked 5 million the seven feelings i had FORGOTTEN about thank you ur a visionary as always #the seven #warrior nun
