gentleman jack really dropped the pig murder subplot this season in favor of obscure 19th century local politics, minutiae about how to operate a coal mine, and the property ownership problems of people richer than god
you know what, i can analyse everything and find a sense to everything and get behind everything we saw on this second season
but
Anne wanting children and saying things like
“Children are a blessing”
is something i absolutely can’t get behind i’m sorry this is just weird, absurd and wrong on so many levels – what a cheap message – also out of character
this is not revolutionary in any way whatsoever
I get that this was done to show us how she starts thinking about these things from the moment Ann Walker starts to express her doubts about their union – I get that it was made to show us how much Ann Walker affects her, all this is a direct consequence of their conversation in 2x06 – I get that in a way this is a sort of declaration of love to Ann, because Anne’s willing to question one of the strongest convictions she has about herself and about life in general…for Ann.
but still…
WE do matter and OUR relationships are not defined by the ability or desire to have children.
i’ve said it,
bye
now i’m gonna pretend it never happened just like season one ann walker cutting her wrist – i love this show but sometimes sally writes the most absurd shit i swear to god
EDIT: by the way, wanting children with your partner is not the ultimate act of love – just saying
