“[Mary is] formidable, too: we tend to think of her lowliness and vulnerability, but forget that she is such a force to be reckoned with that John, the stand-in-son Jesus leaves her in the care of, prophetically depicts her as surviving combat with a demonic red dragon while she gives birth."
Mary mentioned so I thought of you @Marina

trying to figure out if fonda is pulling a six of crows and starting from the perspective of completely irrelevant and disposable characters 🤔🕵️‍♀️🧐

"Yes," said he, smiling-"and reason good. I was sixteen years old when you were born."
