good grief

Propaganda:

Molly & Mary

They’re two women who loved men they could never really save, and both of them deserved someone who understood that without making them feel foolish for it.

Mary lost Arthur to the gang, to outlaw life, to the part of him that kept choosing danger even when he wanted something softer. Molly lost Dutch to his ego, his paranoia, his need to be worshipped, and the whole collapsing gang life that left her isolated and miserable. They’d have so much to bond over - loving a man who did love them in some way, but never enough to choose peace, stability, or them properly.

And the best part is that they’re both better off without those men. Mary knows it by the end. She loves Arthur, but she can’t live in his world. Molly never really gets the chance to leave Dutch’s world alive, which makes the idea of her meeting Mary even more satisfying. Mary would understand the grief. Molly would understand the humiliation of waiting for a man who keeps making speeches while your life gets worse.
