You can’t win as a woman in fiction. Be too positive, you become a Mary Sue, have flaws and those flaws are why almost nobody likes you. Be moderate, you have wet-cabbage personality, be exuberant, you are an unrealistic example. Have strong morals, and you’re badly developed, be morally corrupt and you’re hated with such vigour fans will send hate mail to the actress who plays the character. Be kind and soft and in love, you’re a representation of sexism, be cruel, harsh and cold and you’re just a bitch. Be a complex, realistic, ambiguous character, and either your flaws or your positive traits will be ignored or blown out of proportion and into oblivion. There is no winning for female characters.

The way he skips down the steps and reaches for her hand softens my cold heart, but nothing surprising after we've seen how much they've grown together.
But this totally stunned me. (Aside from the fact that Crosshair and Ventress... what an amazing pairing) I mean look at the fucking character growth! Not so long ago, Crosshair would never have reacted like this, would never have been able to change his perspective. But thanks mainly to Omega (''I never gave up on you.''), he manages to reach out to someone he mistrusted, an enemy, which he didn't have to do. She doesn't need help to get on the ship, but it's a gesture of goodwill and reconciliation, especially from Crosshair! I am completely stunned.

The animation continues to be absolutely stunning. That fight scene. Ventress calming down the sea monster. All the dust particles in the fight scene. The lighting in the cave. It's so so so so so good.

Anyway, Assaj Ventress is literally the pinnacle of badass mean lesbian. Idfc. “Oh but she was in a relationship with Quinlan Vos!” IT WAS COMPHET. BECAUSE I SAY SO. LOOK AT MY GIRL.
I don’t give a fuck. This is my truth and I will live it.

After this episode I'm thinking of two scenarios for the end of the season.
• All Batch dies and Omega goes with Ventress.
• Omega chooses to go with her to protect her brothers. That way we would have the bittersweet ending that many are talking about the show will have.
