the body spoiler!
when anya was crying and saying how she’ll never have kids, never get married, her mom would kick her out, etc genuinely made me cry. i forget that gay marriage wasn’t legal until 2015 so it being 2004 it all really seemed more scary for anya
:( #thebody
YOU GUYS ARENT UNDERSTANDING THE POOL KISS SCENE!!! anya is in deep denial, she needs to feel a justification for her actions. she wanted to kiss elise and she wanted elise to kiss her, in that moment she felt she could use steven to justify this. i hated seeing it too, but try to understand it at least #thebody
@ThyrssenKrup to each their own but I think this seriously mindset overlooks the deep-seated shame and internalized homophobia Anya is struggling with. She is trying to walk a line between feeling guilty and her desire. It's the tragedy of her situation (and she and Elise as a pair)
I know the pool scene is going to rub a lot of folks the wrong way, and it’s meant to be uncomfortable, but we had to see Elise choose herself over Anya for once. Anya asked her to cross a line and Elise could’ve given in but she wouldn’t stoop to it. I thought it was perfect.
@snoopysredpiano N da pra levar a serio a cena romantica q elas tiveram depois desse momento ridiculo da pisicina, eu so pensava que ali a anya conseguia beijar a elise porque agora ela tinha aprovação masculina. perdeu totalmente qualquer brilho que as cenas delas poderiam ter
