#tigs talks

(spoilers, obviously:) you know how at the very end ray tells thomas that vincent has been to a "clinic" instead of a "hospital" and thomas asks "a clinic for what?" -- there is a cut directly following this interaction and then we see thomas confronting vincent.

when i first saw the scene, without context from the book, i thought thomas was angry, that he felt betrayed, that he felt wronged. but knowing now, that ray probably told him it was a clinic for "reproductive health" or whatever, it adds the context that this answer probably scared thomas! he's been in and out of exactly such clinics the last year and some change, because of his cancer. which puts the scene in an entirely new light: he isn't angry, he's scared. he's afraid, he's reminded of his own health. and it explains his shocked looks in the vestry: he's relieved. he's very much relieved that vincent is perfectly healthy.

summary:

There was a man hanging off her car hood. And while the dust from the fight still settled in the background, he smeared his bloodied hand across Heather’s windshield. The man gasped, then coughed. “Shit. Am I dead?” “What? No,” said Heather from the driver’s seat, “Dying feels different, don’t worry. Get off my car” He didn’t budge a bit. “But… you’re gonna save me, right?” She sighed. “I just told you, you aren’t dead. Move.” And like as if a grand inspiration had just revealed itself to him, he slapped his long fingers over his forehead and chuckled. “Oh! Okay, I get it. You’re dead.”

Heather del Rosario was dying. A year had passed since the unanticipated circumstances of stupid luck, beautiful fantastical creatures and a complicated family history had left her with a devastating curse. Now, riding her orange Volvo eastwards, she invited hitchhiker after hitchhiker into her car, unaware of how special they really are. With the big resolution hanging over her head at all times, she should be allowed a bit of fun, right?

it's about urban fantasy, it's about strange family histories, it's about the fucked up relationship to your estranged sister, it's about humanity, it's about technology AND it's about angels. that's what it's about.

Heather’s tongue unfroze. “Are you always this pathetic?” Her sharp tone silenced him, at least for a moment.
