You can like a character without condoning all their actions or beliefs. I love Anya even though she's a capitalist. Oh, the killings? What about them? No those were fine
I MADE A BLAHAJ
His name is TONY
Because whenever I tell people about my TINY BLAHAJ I mistype TONY BLAHAJ instead 😅
He's going to live at the TRANS LIBRARY, where he will chill and read books and occasionally EAT TRANSPHOBES FOR BREAKFAST
I found the design online and made him in one evening AS YOU DO
He's stuffed with offcuts and scraps JUST LIKE A REAL SHARK
Would make again 😇
SORRY FOR YELLING
I'm a published author! 🥳
(Minimally SELF-published, so technically correct (the best kind of correct)).
I wrote a collection of shitty limericks and a longer form semi-autobiographical-trans-ghost-story (🤷♀️?) and left zines of them at Trans Library Helsinki 😎 (You can read them below ❤️)
Poetical Renders About The Transgenders
The Mirrored Girl (In Green)

What if we win?
What if the children go to schools unafraid of tear gas and bullets?
What if the birds come back, and the bees are healed, and every species moves from endangered, to threatened, to thriving?
What if the rainforest ADVANCES?
What if every parking lot had solar panels? What if every structure had solar panels? What if we built climbing gyms and terraced gardens in the skeletons of old coal power plants?
What if you baked your neighbor bread, and they shared their home-grown blackberries?
What if every person who needed a home, had one? What if every person who needed healing was healed?
What if every body was treasured for what it was, not what it should be?
What if every trans child's parents attended their graduation, their wedding, their new-name-day?
What if every warehouse became a closed-circle repair station? Goods flowing out, and back, and out again? What if landfills started to SHRINK?
What if the water and air were clean? What if there was enough public transit that the cars dwindled, leaving the streets safe for kids on bikes, evening deer, midnight cats and foxes?
What if we win?
How would you win?
And we've won a lot already, mind you.
The condors are back. The whales are saved. The sea turtles are no longer endangered. The cranes are back. The bees are recovering. The air in LA and Tokyo and London is clean again. The aquifers in the LA Basin are refilling.
Children are kinder than previous generations. Parents are stopping the abuse cycle. Being trans and queer is more acceptable than ever on a ground level.
It's hard to see if you're young, if you don't know how to step back from social media and the news. But remember--bad news sells, and the algorithm knows despair keeps you scrolling. It's a skewed lens.
We are fighting and we are winning against this adminstration's bullying. We are coming together against the bullies and they are running away scared because they don't understand that we will do that.
People are working hard every day to find ways to make sure fewer animals get hit by cars and planes and rockets.
Maker spaces are more common than ever. Solar and wind are more common than ever. Coal plants are shutting down every day.
Unprecedented numbers of acres are being bought back or given back to their rightful stewards, and the world heals because of it. People are working hard every day to learn how to help a forest recover faster.
We are not at zero. We are at decades of effort to heal the world. We've come SO far.
In 1982 there were only 22 California Condors left in the world. In 1992, when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), with its public and private partners, began reintroducing captive-bred condors to the wild. In 2001 the first wild nesting occurred in Grand Canyon National Park since re-introduction. In 2002 there were only 8 pairs of wild nesting birds population-wide. In 2008, for the first time since the program began, more California condors were flying free in the wild than in captivity. Today there are nearly 500 – more than half of them flying free in Arizona, Utah, California, and Baja Mexico.
When I was born, there were no condors in the wild. I'm 37 now, and there are over 250 condors flying free.
When my mom was born in 1955, there were days when she wasn't allowed to go outside to play, because of the air pollution. When I was born, that never happened anymore.
When I was born, humpback whales were critically endangered, and people thought they were going to go extinct. Today, they've recovered to exceed their recorded numbers. Other whales too!
We fixed it.
We CAN fix it and we ARE fixing it and we DID fix it.
cordelia would so go as posh spice for halloween and this is something I feel very strongly about
Hey :)
Uhh so I guess I'm on hormones now 🏳️⚧️
I ran a marathon last year 🏃♀️
I'm trying to grow some tomatillos (and other plants) in my new apartment that I've been in for a year 🌱
My most recent culinary experiments have been bahn mi, homemade pasta, and applejack 🥪🍝🍸
I'm watching Deep Space Nine at the moment 🛸
I got a warrior nun tattoo last year and I'm booked for a new one this weekend (not warrior nun but it's drawn by a #SaveWarriorNun artist) 🖌️
I've met halobearers on three (?) separate occasions now and had a blast each time (one time we even went for a #WarriorNunRun) 😇
Life is ... good? (we ignore all the other things, obviously) 🥳
Hello Tumblr friends how are you?
Thinking about Lilith, in the future when she's finally settled, having a garden
It starts with the first time she buys Camila flowers. She's so nervous about finding a good gift, wants so badly to get it right and flowers are something people give their partner so it must not be a bad idea.
Standing in the florist shop looking at all of the options. What type of flower, what color, should she get a mix or go with the traditional bouquet of red roses?
She sees the cut stems of flowers already wilting, severed from their parent plant. Dead. Decaying. She decides she doesn't want to give Camila dead things. One dead thing in her life is enough, Lilith thinks. She picks out a little plant with a colorful terracotta pot, something Alive.
Camila Loves it. But here's the thing, Camila has the opposite of a green thumb. She's a technology wiz, an amazingly skilled warrior, and she's good at people. She just doesn't get plants.
By the end of the first week the poor thing's leaves are already wilting. So Lilith takes it upon herself to care for it. Turns out, she's really good at it.
The little guy perks back up and then some, flourishing. The next month the amount of plants doubles then doubles again. Soon their whole living space is green with ivies, purple with calatheas, red with angel wings, any color she could find.
When they get their own house with a yard she starts growing plants that she couldn't inside. All kinds of pretty pollinator attracting plants including sunflowers, Cam's favorite, and fruits and vegetables they can cook with.
The first time Cam talks Lilith into having Beatrice and Ava over for dinner they use food from her garden.
Ava is first through the door, bustling in with a bright grin on her face.
Your home is so beautiful she says before kissing Camila on each cheek in greeting. Then bounces to a stop in front of Lilith, presenting her with a bears paw succulent.
A home warming present she calls it. Lilith doesn't cry.
Another time Beatrice gives Lilith a bonsai. Something good she can shape on her own. Maybe she cries a little, after Beatrice is gone.
I just think gardener Lilith is so neat. It's kind of antithetical to everything Lilith is, or at least what people think of her. Incompetent (her mother), uncaring (Mary at one point), a monster (she's working on not feeling that one herself). She's able to give life to the world, make it better in this simple way. It becomes a type of meditation for her.

That actually brings me to another reason I dislike the "power of love can bring Ava back" thing, which is that if it's only Beatrice that can do it, it's only romantic love that can bring Ava back. Mother Superion's love, Camila's love, they apparently don't matter enough to sway Ava, it has to be Beatrice. And like, you can argue it's a matter of intensity, not kind (romantic vs platonic): it's that Beatrice loves Ava more than anyone else, not that she loves her differently (or it's the other way round? it's that Ava loves Beatrice more than she loves anyone else?), but the implication is still hard to ignore. And as someone who is frequently annoyed by the central importance assigned to romantic love in our storytelling over any other type of love, I'm just not a big fan of this storyline.
And I do appreciate that we haven't had this type of plot for a queer relationship very often, which makes it significant, because queer love is obviously just as powerful as heterosexual love. But I don't know, that to me feels at best like a lukewarm justification for a plot that just isn't all that interesting.
This is an excellent point that I hadn't considered. And you could have so much fun with a 'saved by platonic love' storyline… ONLY A GREAT LOVE CAN SAVE HIM … and it's his brodude football-watching beer drinking pal from college, NOT the girl he just met in the first act. ONLY A GREAT LOVE CAN SAVE HER … and it's her ride-or-die work friend with a kid who thinks that she's the coolest, NOT the old flame from high school (recently single again).
I bet Beatrice would love a good spreadsheet. She's a spreadsheet gal. She knows all Excel functions and loves her some conditional formatting.
Yasmine : XLOOKUP was a great replacement for VLOOKUP and a long time coming 🤓 Camila : Excel is so limiting, anything worth doing you can do easier and quicker with Python 🙄 Lilith : Excel? Please, I have people to do that for me 🎩 Mary : I EXCEL at shooting and drinking 🍸 Mother Superion : Back in my day we did all of that by hand… 👵 Vincent : Probably excellent for cooking the books 👀 Kristian : It absolutely is excellent for cooking the books 💰 Salvius : It's good FOR WHAT!? 😡 Ava : What's an excel? 😇

Yasmine and Michael are at opposite sides of the “what is sex” question.
Yasmine: What is sex? (Scientific 🫢)
She posses multiple journals detailing everything she’s ever read and observed about sex, but is completely uninterested in sex herself. Yasmine and Camila have longs talks about sexuality.
Michael: What is sex? (Innocent 😇)
He never had the talk and both Jillian and Reya failed in educating him about sexuality. Interested in sex, but has no idea where to begin. Michael and Yasmine have an educative talk after Michael walked in on Yasmine and Camila debating kinks. However, no one tells him about Suzanne and Jillian, he finds out the good old fashion way of walking in on his parents and getting scared for life.
Random 'Dark Ava' thoughts…
One of the things Warrior Nun did (ahem does DOES DOES!!!) well is making its villains believable. Aside from Frances (😤) they're all doing the wrong thing but for the right reasons.
Vincent in particular is not a 'bad' guy - he's doing what he things needs to be done to bring A LITERAL ANGEL to earth, who he believes will solve war, famine, etc etc…
(He's wrong - but he's not EVIL)
Having Ava come back 'changed' and suddenly just plain evil (be it mind control or what have you) I think would not only be untrue to her character, but also (more importantly) unINTERESTING.
But what if Ava came back from the other realm - her eyes open to some truth that she knew all along? And what if she came back from the other realm with the power to make actual change, only at a cost.
There's a bunch of ways to do this, but the two biggest motivators for Ava are Beatrice - and her disdain for everything about the Warrior Nun and what it represents.
And if you could put Dark Ava in between the two - to create conflict between those two motivators - as well as the other points of the triangle (Ava-Beatrice, Beatrice-Church, Church-Ava) then you could REALLY tell a dark and meaningful story.
And because there's history (good and bad) between all three points it would be not only believable but intense. There'd by layers upon layers of character driven story to be told.
Here's how you'd to it:
Ava would return from the other realm. She'd be different. The other sisters would comment on it behind her back. They'd worry.
They'd go on the mission to find Beatrice, thinking that only she can snap Ava out of it…
And after Avatrice finally meet, and words and kisses are tearfully exchanged…
Ava would drop the bomb…
"Beatrice… I told you I was going to be the last Warrior Nun. This cycle has to come to an end, and now that I've been to the other realm, I've figured out how…"
Ava takes Beatrice by the hand. What the's about to say may lose Beatrice from her forever. She swallows hard.
"I'm going to destroy the entire Catholic Church."
They'll fight, obviously. Beatrice has given her whole life to the Church - for better of for worse.
But Beatrice knows two things.
One - if she crosses Ava now, she might lose her forever.
And two - despite her love for the church, she knows full well that the church is behind an entire lifetime of pain for her - and for many others.
So maybe when Ava says "Just this one thing, Beatrice, and then we can go to he alps…"
Could we blame Beatrice for hesitating?
Maybe Beatrice will go along with it, half-heartedly at first. Maybe she'll grow to understand Ava's point of view. Maybe, slowly, she'll also become … 'Dark Beatrice'
Or maybe she'll try to understand… she'll try to ignore the atrocities committed during Ava's crusade
Maybe in the end they'll share a tearful kiss. A heart-wrenching goodbye - as they realize that they cannot reconcile their two different lives…
Or maybe, in the final episode of the season, with Ava ready to unleash literal hell-on-earth to destroy Vatican City - Beatrice's final appeal to Ava's good nature - to the orphan who smiled - will break the spell, so to speak…
Leaving Avatrice on the run from the Catholic Church, the OCS, international police, Reya and the Tarasks and more … in Season FOUR 🤯
idk just a thought 🤷♀️

Assigning d&d alignments to Warrior Nun characters
This was not as easy as I thought it would be - feel free to disagree! Many characters change throughout the course of the show - so often I'm giving a before/after. WTH am I talking about? --
Ava starts CN - caring only for herself, without a moral compass but no malice to her actions.
But as she starts to care for her sisters she is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice: CG
Bea starts as the paragon of LG, fighting for good (and God) even at the expense of her own identity
But when the usual methods fail to protect Ava and her sisters she says to hell with the rules: NG
Camila starts LN - the rule follower at the OCS, doing her job even if it's not always the right thing to do.
But when she receives her message from god she slips to NG, willing to bend the rules and her faith for her sisters.
When we first meet Superion she is a solid LN, burned by rejection but still faithful to the church (if not god)
But after the betrayal she positively rejoices in breaking the rules to protect her daughters: CG
Mary is the epitome of CG - she is doing the right thing, for the right reasons, but she is doing it her way
And if you disagree with that you can talk to her two shotguns.
Lilith is LN throughout - fueled by her own righteousnous, for better of for worse - morals be damned.
Even final Lilith I don't believe is inherently evil, just misguided, fighting for her own justice.
Yasmine is NG throughout - willing to go against the church when necessary but still appreciating traditions.Traditions say not to eat anything that looks like a penis but corn on the cob is ok I guess ily Yasmine
Everything Shanon did she did for her sisters, and while she hid secrets from the OCS...she did so only because she knew about Vincent. She's definitely a G - probably an LG.
Fight me on this one Vincent is NG throughout, despite what is perhaps a CN or CE past. Even 'evil' Vincent's actions are for his version of the greater good. He is under a classic charm person spell (which is btw NOT mind control)
Duretti, power hungry, is a textbook LN. He wields it to get what he wants. While most of what he does is good, he is willing to commit atrocities to achieve it.
Salvius is the epitome of TN, while she loves her son her sacrifices for him are not even close to selfless.
And even her assistance to the sisters is more self-preservation and hope for Michael than altruism.
Kristian starts LN, using power to his own ends, but not malevolently. And by S2 he is classic LE, corrupted by power and clearly enjoying it.
JC and pals are classing CN, they're out for themselves, without intent to harm anyone else. While you could argue that JC started to drift towards CG he was just smitten with Ava (we've all been there)
(Chanel is an exception, because while she appears to be in it for the grift, she's the only one of the gang who shows Ava selfless and unconditional love). She is also objectively perfect. CG.
Miguel has some of that Lilith righteousness to him, so while his sacrifice is for the greater good... I'm not sure it was good that motivated him rather than duty. Iffy LN.
Adriel talks a big game, but he's only looking out for one man - Adriel. As a petty thief he may have once been TN, but he is now blatantly evil, though whether NE or LE is maybe unclear.
Can you assign an alignment to a god? If Reya has an alignment I haven't seen it. Just like ants probably can't tell if the human that stepped on their nest by accident is actually a decent person.
My man Carl will prob plead the Nuremburg defence but assuming he has free will then his actions are his. Even his final defeat of Adriel comes at Reya's behest, not his own. Carl is LN at best.
🤷♀️
tara related things i would have loved to see:
tara and anya becoming besties for life
tara and xander bonding over their abusive families
tara getting a job (forever bitter about the freeloading at buffy's house)
what on earth tara was majoring in
tara getting a hobby that's not magic related
at least one interaction between tara and oz that does not involve jealousy and almost dying or any other kind of unhappy situation
more miss kitty fantastico and how tillow handled the custody in s6
now that i think about it, more tara with animals
tara meeting cordy, that'd be fun
tara not dying please and thank you
more gay kisses and gay sex, she deserves it
