Thank you for answering my question, i love reading your thoughts and i agree with everything. Now on a more general note, if there was to be a clear romantic path with them, who do you think would make the first move, Ava or Deborah? Thank you! And ooh interesting! I tend to think of their coming together in less romantic terms when I write fic mostly bc even though romance is 100% there (from their big gestures to the quiet moments, altho I think Deb especially would be more likely to call it care or even love than romance), I have a hard time wrapping my head around a romantic arc that blossoms outward and grows into a sexual relationship instead of holding steady on its own terms. (Obviously there’s value in both, but for me, the show is already giving me much of what I want of the latter but will not do the same for the former. So fic!) In my mind, I find that getting to the physical consumption between Ava and Deb in a way I find personally persuasive requires a kind of erotic/sexual tension that masks the romance lurking beneath it or a level of joking irreverence where the coupling proceeds as a “commit to the bit” sorta thang (a la @catelyngrant’s wonderful sugar we’re going down fic). Having it occur on romantic terms is lovely and I know many fic authors do it beautifully, but it’s a mode that to me shifts these two women into a slightly different tone (register? Genre?) than how I personally see them. BUT! Pushing myself outside of my comfort zone … I feel like just realistically speaking it would have to be Ava because I don’t think Deborah would let herself risk being another older comic with more wealth and power potentially taking advantage of a younger woman. Even as she calls Ava a partner, not an employee, I think that nagging anxiety would linger. Also, I think she’s internalized enough mainstream heteronormative misogynistic bullshit to have a really hard time envisioning why Ava would want a _relationship_ with her (maybe she could see the one night stand of it all after her s2 Memphis hook up, but she was still thinking of that encounter as a fetish fulfillment and therefore niche, not something she associates with romance or expects of everyone). And, practically speaking, I think Deborah gets off on the attention of her own pursuit in the realm of the romantic and the sexual (in deep contrast to the way she gets off on/at least finds deep gratification and meaning in being the pursuer of her own ambitions, whose too-easy coming to fruition actually, imo, frustrates the pleasures they might otherwise provide). Anyway idk if any of that gets at your question, but it was fun to think with!

Hey! I loved your thoughts on the finale, i honestly hope we get a full circle thing from their 3x09 where Ava was like “you are selfish, you are never going to put me first”, so i think imo the most logical thing would be to have D prove her wrong. But we’ll see. I was wondering what are your thoughts on their dynamic so far this season? Thanks! And we very much did lol! But re their dynamic this season...I think I said a lot of this in my little rambling post about this most recent episode, so I'll try to avoid rehashing it, but I do feel like we saw growth especially as it came to its fruition this week’s ep--and specifically, a kind of imperfect, not always linear form of growth. What I didn't talk about there is that I think the combination of big gestures from Deborah (eps 6 and 9 specifically), coupled with the steadfastness of Ava's devotion, in ways that take her into a much more mature space than we've seen her in past seasons (I'm thinking about her coming back day in and day out even as Deborah made her life hell, her choosing to call Deborah and try to talk to Deborah when she thought she was being iced out the night of the Oscars, etc.), allow the two of them to heal some of these wounds that have been quietly festering between them for years. I ship them and love them and like to imagine they've spent many very happy days and weeks and even months together over the stretch of the past few seasons, but we've also seen them hurt each other deeply in the way you really only can once you've let someone in deep. And while we've gotten a few big gestures, like Deborah showing up at the funeral and climbing into a dumpster or Ava leaving her fiancée and turning down head writer of On the Contrary to be there for Deborah, I don't know that we've ever had such obvious forms of _redress_ as we have this season. We see Ava forcibly challenging everything Deborah expects of those around her (that they'll leave the second things get difficult, much like we saw Kathy do at the end of s3 when she couldn't even handle the _idea_ of what Deborah with Late Night would be like). And we see Ava really broken up about how many times she's let herself believe that this time, things will be different; this time, she won't get hurt. But here we see Deborah not just having to sit with that and respond to it verbally, but also putting her money where her mouth is in a major way and choosing Ava over everything. For me, it positions them as a much stronger united front than we've _ever_ seen from them (which is how we get Bob and the contract and the company coming in to fill the void of end-of-season crisis, moving us from the interpersonal to the external as JPL set up the foundations for next season). I also talk a bit about this in my 4.09 review (and plenty of the others), but I'll acknowledge that, beautiful as I find the moments between Ava and Deborah this season, it often felt jerky. The growth was there, but it was often implicit, the moments elided into guesswork for the viewer. Even at the most basic layer of time passing, it's really, REALLY hard to glean exactly how long this season lasted, and that shouldn't be the case! I don't need exact days, but it would be really helpful to get a sense (for instance, if Deb has 18 months left on her contract, I'm assuming it was about a 6 month season, but it's not at all clear when and where these pivotal moments happen within that durational span. Instead, we jump around, finding the characters at a particular moment in time with no real sense of how they're feeling about the arc they followed to get there. So kudos to Jean and Hannah for bringing a level of embodied intensity to all these scenes that at least lets us get deep, if not comprehensive haha! And my kingdom for a better script continuity editor next season, shewww
