You’re here? With her? This is so wrong! I can’t believe you’re trying to play the other team. Oh, God. Okay, Carson, please... please don’t tell anyone. Oh, please. I am going to tell everyone, because they need to know exactly who you really are.

My absolute favorite ALOTO scene, Although I know there are a lot more profound scenes such as the club scene or Jo’s home run but I absolutely love the shift in dynamic and camaraderie here.

We started off with Esti wishing for a friend in Lupe and being all but rejected and left in the dust to them gaining an understanding a friendship, one that gives them the opportunity to not only show solidarity but use something they both have in common to win.

(Also I just love them as a team)

A League of Their Own (2022) - Season 1 Trailer - Carson and Greta

[idreamedadreamintimegoneby]

You know what ALOTO has NONE of? The "Predatory Lesbian" stereotype.

Too often in wlw media there's this stereotype of a lesbian (usually butch) who has this bravado, "I could treat you better than your boyfriend could" or "I could turn you" type of energy. While some girls might see this as sexy and confident, I see it as predatory and uncalled for.

But in ALOTO, they avoid this stereotype perfectly! A few examples:

Jo and Maybelle We see from the very beginning that Jo is fawning over Maybelle, especially with her "What's your type?" "Blondes" response:

Is she being flirty? Yeah! But from then on, she's just as respectful and playful with Maybelle as she is with the rest of the girls, and never makes a move or does anything to make Maybelle uncomfortable. Maybelle never felt threatened by Jo, or even with the reality that she might be gay after all. In 1x07 she says, "And so what if she's queer?" And reminds Shirley that above all else, Jo is their friend.

2. Lupe & Carson 1x01 scene

In 1x01 when they're at the bar, Lupe and Carson are small-talking about running away from home. Lupe comments on her haircut, Carson says, "I don't think I look that different, though." Lupe gives her a knowing smile and backs away, saying "Eh...you kinda do."

In MY opinion, she's appreciating her haircut in a way that says, "You look kinda hot now," but is perfectly nice and doesn't do anything other than compliment her. (The fact that it just adds to Carson's Gay Awakening isn't Lupe's fault, LOL.)

3. Shirley's Perspective

Shirley is used as the traditional/fearful view of gay people, the "You're a lesbian and I'm a woman, therefore you MUST be in love with me!!" perspective. But the story is great about using the other characters to nonchalantly point out how dumb that is (her 1x07 convo with Maybelle, Carson's "That's not how it works" comment, lol). They don't make it into a huge political statement, they literally just look homophobia in the face and go "WHO TF CARES"

(presleyelvis has a really good post about Shirley's character development too!)

4. Honorable Mention: Carson & Greta

Carson & Greta is obviously a huge topic, but I just want to point out that I don't believe Greta was acting predatory or pursuing Carson in any way. She only acted on signals that she believed Carson was giving her, and was brave (stupid?) enough to act on them.

Even when Greta brings up Charlie in conversation, she's never bitter or disparaging about him, other than to say that he looks boring lol. No man-hating lesbians here, people!

ANYWAY, I just love that the girls have nothing but respect for each other as friends & teammates, and that their sexuality is only deemed a "threat" to external forces (except for Shirley, who again has an awesome self-realizing arc in that regard.)

GOOD JOB, FRUITS 🍑🍑🍑

[lupeloto]

it is canon that jess and lupe would go to play Putt-Putt and ride go karts and they would get like super competitive with each other the whole time and take it way too seriously
