MAG 6 - Squirm

Previous | Start | Next

it's the worm sex statement again! The visual of Timothy standing on the street and watching his house burn down has always looked vaguely like this in my head. Idk how everyone else sees this part but this is how it looks for me.

Anyways this episode is fun I like it

Melanie’s second statement may have gone to the Redemption Bracket, but how will her first statement fare? Skintight is against Squirm, which had 138 votes last round.

"By now point Harriet was crying and I felt like a complete asshole for having brought the issue up. I mumbled some apologies. I don’t know what I said; I was just trying to make her feel better. Not sure what I expected to happen but I certainly didn’t expect her to kiss me at that moment. I know, I know, she was vulnerable and I feel like an a… But I swear I wasn’t trying to take advantage. I asked her again and again if she was sure, but she just kept nodding and dragged me to the bedroom. I mean, we had sex." (from the transcript)

Now, Hodge is likely to be a somewhat unreliable narrator, but if we assume that what he describes is something close to what happened... Harriet made the first real move. We have no reason to believe that she was drunk. He made every effort to make it clear that she didn't have to. But she apparently still wanted to. I suppose it's possible that she was trying to "pay" for staying at his place with sex, but I don't see any direct evidence of that, and I would figure that "asking her if she was sure" would entail making it clear that she could stay over anyway if she wanted. So I think what we're seeing here is Harriet responding to a stressful situation by turning to sex as a form of comfort and connection... which is very much a Thing That People Do.
