simply think lupe garcía deserves to be lovingly put into one of these bad boys until all the self-loathing evaporates out
Tumblr media
#she wants to play baseball more than ANYTHING and she loves herself for that and she hates herself for that#she wants someone anyone to tell her she did good.#to look at her and choose her#because she has chosen herself but is she really so wrong that she could be the only one to ever do it?#how can she look at esti and take care of esti and care for her when she turned her back on doing the same for her daughter?#she's asked to be by the kid's side day and night and being needed in that way terrifies her and chokes her#(and also frustrates her. because having been an unofficial translator that shit is so frustrating!!! when you are the only one!!!)#and she's specifically needed to speak spanish and roberta colindrez has talked about her shame in her language#and not to bring anzaldúa into this but. shame in language being shame in self.#her past and her self stripped from her to make her palateable to a white audience and yet she's constantly singled out for it by the team#but how can she keep hurting esti the same way she's been hurt?#how can she look into esti's eyes and see the pain she's caused there and not imagine that pain reflected a thousand fold down in texas?#and she tries not to feel it because it hurts but she cares SO deeply but she is so fucked up about it#man. character of all time.#a league of their own#lupe garcia#roberta colindrez embodies her with so much care and nuance this can't even begin to cover it#anyway somebody please put her in the rotary evaporator. or better yet. the arms of people who love her!!
