friends donāt think about how Diana probably hired Etta as her secretary after the war, and how Etta probably worked alongside her at the Louvre for the rest of her life and how she took Etta everywhere she went from the sandy dunes of Egypt to the jungles of South America to the palaces of the Russian aristocracy and how Diana watched Etta age and grow weary even as she herself grew stronger and how Diana sat in the front row at Ettaās funeral and cried for the first time since Steve and how she buried her best friend of fifty years at the foot of a pure white marble headstone that read āEtta Candy, a true light in this worldā.
hot news: male reviewer of wonder woman has never heard of lesbians in his life, more at 7
ālives sexlessly without menā
Weak cishet males
Amazon Society: *produces a 12 volume work on the subject of pleasure*
Diana: When it comes to procreation, men are essential, but for pleasure, not necessary.
Male Reviewer:Ā I guess that means they donāt know about sex!
Me:Ā Harold, theyāre lesbians.
I thought it was pretty clear that both women (but very obviously Antiope) had wives/partners who appeared in multiple background scenes.Ā But even without that, uh wtf?
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
A lesbian friend and I were discussing how cis men canāt handle any kind of sexuality that doesnāt center men. And this is just yet more proof. OMG.
Just Amazons beinā Palazons.
That last comment, my eyes are watering from laughing so hard. Iām losing it
So I was watching Wonder Woman on Saturday (as you do) and during the flashback story to Diana of how he ended up on Themyscira, thereās this moment when he realizes Maruās notebook is on her desk, unguarded, and Chris Pine does this thing,Ā and I wish I could gif because itās almost a microexpression that encapsulates theĀ āif you see something wrong, you can either do nothing or you can do somethingā idea warring in his brain for about a half a second. Because heās only there to observe and report, not draw attention to himself, but the notebookās right there.Ā Itās like, he sees it, he thinks,Ā āwell, shit. Now I gotta do something.ā
And itās such a small moment but itās so indicative to me of how Steve Trevor works as a character and also as a thematic vessel. Heās not interested in war for profit or glory or adventure or anything other than saving lives and not being a bystander, but heās also just a person who has to make that choice every time heās faced with itāheās the antithesis of everything Ares wants Diana to believe. The choice between something or nothing is not an automatic, pure-hearted, instinctive action. SometimesĀ itās a really stupid, dangerous, or insubordinate choice, probably a pain in the ass, but thatās the choice he makes. Otherwise, heās doing nothing, and heās already tried that, whatever that means to himāand his choices are aimed at stopping the war.Ā Thatās it, and itās not what Ares tells Diana is at the heart of humanity. (The only time he goes the other way on that choice is when he believes it to be impossibleĀ to do something, in the trench before Diana crosses no-manās-landāshe makes the same choice in the moment when sheās the only one who physically can, and when he sees her taking the fire herself, he follows as soon as he understands whatās happening.) They made Steve a righteous, good man not by making him perfect and selfless by default, but because he makes the hard choice. Because saving lives is also his foreordinance by choice, not divine decree. And sometimes he makes this face first, because after all, heās just a man.
