the handmaid’s tale season 2: (2×13) The Word
This is all she leaves behind. There won’t be a marker anywhere. Heretics don’t get to rest in peace. Here, they use them as animal feed. Aunt Lydia told us that at The Red Center. Waste not, want not. All we leave behind is the uniform. Wife. Handmaid. Martha. Mother. Daughter. Girlfriend. Queen. Bitch. Criminal. Sinner. Heretic. Prisoner.

The Handmaid’s Tale 2.09- “Smart Power”
“We believe the women.”
Hey, hey, you’re gonna remember my face, ‘cause I’m gonna remember
yours. And this is all going to be over someday, you piece of shit. You should remember your scripture, Mr. Bankole. His Kingdom endureth forever. Fuck you!
Serena Would be a Terrible Mother
Serena is desperate for a child, and the flashbacks make it obvious she has been trying to be a mother for years, but WANTING a child is different from having one. She can’t handle things not going her way, she becomes cruel and unforgiving when someone disappoints her, she lashes out at anyone within reach when she’s upset, she could never handle a two year old telling her “no.” Just because she’s judgmental about the way another wife raises her baby doesn’t mean she will be any better at it, when a 4 year old doesn’t want to go to bed she will lose her shit. Also, she despises June, when that baby grows up and looks like the woman she hates (and has Nick’s eyebrows) she will be so cruel and terrible to her. Remember when she threatened Hanna?
Moira was Hannah’s godmother. Is. Moira is Hannah’s godmother. And she got out, it was impossible and she did it. I know I should accept the reality of you being born here, make my peace. But fuck that.
altho i will say that i do find it a little uh… hmm that many in the tht tag are like well i was starting to feel sorry for serena and NOW i hate her again like…
i’m aware she’s had some more sympathetic scenes this season, however:
this is certainly not the first time she’s held june (and, before that, the handmaid that it’s heavily implied killed herself– the one that left the message that june found) down while her husband assaulted her. it’s just the first time she’s done so when june is pregnant.
We do the work and than they pig out.
or i just want the waterfords to be tried as war criminals; because despite how brief the scenes where they’re held accountable for their violence and complicity in 2×09 they were…extremely satisfying.
Imma need someone to pull an Ofglen and blow up the Waterford’s house, Fred and Serena deserve to burn
oh thank GOD that’s not the finale i was ready to be PISSED!!
