Rewatching sense8 and I either forgot or didnât register how important Lito is to Sun. Like the point of the show is never âwhat can we do for each otherâ, but they do have unique relationships within the cluster. One of the more obvious being Lito and Nomi; He literally tells her âI always come to you when Iâm scaredâ which. Duh. whenever he has a crisis about his outing as a gay man, of course the person who he can turn to is the trans woman.
But Sun and Lito have the same dynamic because Lito is Sunâs outlet for emotion! Their first interaction (and I think Litoâs first sensate experience) is him experiencing her period symptoms. And of course Sun just swallows her discomfort but Lito FREAKS out and cries and complains and snaps at people. Then ins2 at the love hotel, Lito cries the whole time and Sun says âif anyone should be crying itâs meâ to which he replies âbut you wonâtâ.
AND MAAAAAN I remember fan reactions to this episode as âlol Lito is so dramatic and Sun has to go Korean older sister and deal with that despite her own issuesâ LIKE NO LITO IS SUNâS OUTLET FOR PAIN. He has his own shit yes! But he shows up to scream and cry and whine for sun because she wonât do it! Heâs crying and complaining for the both of them!
Lito IS a drama queen and itâs important! So much of the cluster is people shouldering pain and responsibility and stoicism and Lito is the comic relief but heâs the one to help people OUTLET that pain!
Like, remember when he was crying over Hernanado in season 1? And then shows up to help Wolfgang deal with the men who shot Felix? It was clear to Lito to just lie and âtell him what he wants to hearâ but Wolfgang canât and admits âbecause he reminds me of my fatherâ. Thatâs emotional vulnerability right there that Lito helps him shoulder! Like broooo the show jokes about Lito being a drama queen and having to be cared for but theyâre ALLLL going through trauma 24/7 and you know whoâs always there to cry for you when you canât???? LITOOOOO
