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!!

The Countess Dracula
What if Dracula’s wife did not die as he was lead to believe?.... based on the bbc tv show Dracula (2020)
All she could hear was foot steps against tile in the distance and a quiet argument that was drowned out by a rapid thud in her ears before the argument stopped as well as the foot steps. “Is she awake and stable?” A dulled masculine voice said as the woman adjusted to the light being shone in her face. “She is awake but stable? We are yet to see.” Another voice said in answer to the other. She tried to shield her eyes away from the light but was unable to the sudden feeling of metal wrapped around her wrists. “ Ce-i cu asta? Unde mă aplec?” The woman muttered as she looked at the metal restraints that attached her to the wall of a glass room before wincing at how dry her throat. “Ah hello there madam, I am sure you are very confused as to where you are yes?” The man said as he walked up to the glass that divides him and the woman. “Tu cine esti? De ce vorbești așa?” The woman asked as she looked at him, her simply smiled at her as he observed her figure and face intensively. “Can someone get a translator here please we can’t understand a word she is saying.” The second man said in an irritated tone before a thin woman rushed in, first nodding to the two men in front of her then turned and bowed to the woman. “Bună ziua contesa mea! Este plăcerea mea să te cunosc, sper că te simți confortabil aici, dar mă îndoiesc că va face cătușele. Eu sunt Juliet Sumsbery.” Juliet smiled brightly as she looked upon the woman. Slowly standing the Countess looked upon Juliet with a curiosity. “Vorbești limba mea, deși nu ești de poporul meu, sunt impresionat. Unde sunt Juliet? De ce sunt aici? De ce tu și ceilalți doi bărbați purtați haine atât de ciudate?” Juliet bit her lip as her face drained of most of its colour when she turned to the men before turning back to the Countess. Nu-ți amintești ai ajuns aici, contesă?” The woman sighed as she grabbed a chair and sat in front of the Countess. “Ai fost găsit într-un castel abandonat din Alpii Transilvaniei acum câteva zile, erai într-o cutie de sticlă... Credem că a fost sicriul tău..." the Countess face contorted, unable to process what the woman had just said. “Inițial am crezut că ai murit, dar imediat ce am deschis și ți-am examinat corpul, unul dintre oamenii de știință și-a tăiat degetul mare accidental... Se pare că ai tras odată ce ai mirosit sângele și l-ai secat pe omul sângelui înainte de a leșinu. Noi inițial te-am pus într-un ceil înainte de a face această cameră pentru tine." Tears began to form in the Countess’s eyes as she started to remember flashes of what transpired. “Îți amintești ai intrat în sicriu? Cât timp ai fost acolo?" The countess then looked up to Juliet. “Nu... Mi Nu știu de cât timp sunt în sicriu, nu-mi amintesc am ajuns acolo și nici de ce... Știi cât timp?" Juliet gulped lightly as she looked into the countess’s eyes with sadness. “Credem că ești în sicriul de sticlă de vreo 420 de ani..." the countess fell to her knees as she fell into shock before screaming loudly in anguish causing Juliet and the two men to back away from her. “We are truely sorry if this news causes you some pain Madam.” One of the men said sympathetically as he walked up to the glass. “W-where...is...my....husband?” The countess said slow as she slowly looked up to the man with bloody tears staining her cheeks. “Ah so you do know English!” The other man said abruptly before getting a stern look from Juliet. “I..know little.” She muttered. “Where...is...my...husband.” The countess asked one last time. Juliet walked up to the glass to join the man. “We do not know where the Count Dracula is I am sorry Countes-.”  The Countess cuts her off abruptly. “Elisabeth... you may call me Elisabeth.”
