And that speaks to the Warrior Nun writer’s room and their trust in their own writing and in the audience that is going on this journey with them.Īs for the jealousy aka when Michael came in, there was no time for garbage tropes where one is jealous, blah, blah, blah. That led to a great friends to lovers that was built on patience, trust, empathy, and love. Both Ava and Beatrice were given the time to grow as individuals and as a team, solidifying that Warrior Nun season 2 understands that we want the normalization of LGBTQ+ relationships in the content we consume. Which, I’d like to focus on two of those tags: Friends to Lovers and Jealousy as they are components that make this slow-burn better. And now that I think about it, they kind of hit some of the fanfic tags I love like: Fluff, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, First Kiss, Friends to Lovers, Jealousy, Yearning, and Domestic Fluff.
I didn’t have to just settle for lovely fanfiction during or after watching Warrior Nun season 2 because I was given the slow-burn of my dreams in the form of Avatrice. Because of that, I was ready and willing for fanfic writers to do what they do best aka rewrite the season and make it explicitly queer. But because I’ve been fed so much garbage throughout my life, I didn’t think there would actually be an Avatrice slow-burn when season 2 came around. So, keeping that all in mind, at the end of season 1 of Warrior Nun I saw the connection between Ava and Beatrice.
Or someone goes, “Not everything has to be gay.” And it really has dampened my spirits and changed the way that I look at possible queer content. Across all sorts of media, I’ve been queerbaited, lied to, and told that the connection I’m seeing isn’t real. As a fellow queer person, I know when I’ve been fed garbage when it comes to LGBTQ+ stuff.
