In My Own Boat Sinking At My Own Pace

With the windows framed as their wings, the hand fluttering to the back, the most emotionally devastating kiss ever to be filmed...

Part of Nick Nelson’s character development is his realization that even with the best intentions and his deep care for Charlie, he is inadvertently hurting him by keeping their relationship secret and not being ready to come out, which is *still* a valid need of Nick’s, as someone figuring out and coming to terms with his sexuality among an often hostile peer group.

He decides ultimately that whatever his own hang ups are, they aren’t worth the pain it was causing Charlie to be kept a secret. But crucially, the narrative never demonized Nick for having those difficulties in the first place even if his actions seemed from the outside quite uncaring and similar to Charlie’s former abusive relationship with Ben. The narrative allows them both the grace to take that next step together and places the blame not on Charlie for being too sensitive or on Nick for being hesitant to come out right away, but on the outside forces making it hard for them to be openly in love.

A parable about how a woman who has learned to speak the language of the violence that a patriarch society has constantly inflicted upon her can understand and enact violence better than the men who are habituated to inflicting violence

A tran-man who uses violence to claim his place in a violent world

A non-binary person who has always sat on the outside of the gendered world and thus has a better understanding of the violence inherent in gendering than anyone else

A bi-racial person who sees their only way to claim an authentic racial identity is to seek revenge in keep with cultural expectations regarding right action

An ōnryo — a vengeful spirit — created by the ways the weight of their history as embodied by their gendered and racial identities has consistently destroyed the hope of positive relations with others

A queer woman upon whom gender and sexual norms have constantly been inflicted as violence lashing out at a heterosexist society in turn

An artisan, single handedly pursue the art of vengeance at the expense of their humanity

A person whose relationship to themselves, their gender, their race, and their body has always been violently defined for them by others defining these for themselves by violently resisting the further imposition of external attempts to define themselves to themselves

And more. So much more. They contain multitudes unlike any character I’ve seen on tv before.

like, harrow never needed gideon to die for her. harrow has never lacked people ready to die for her, and she bears people’s sacrifices like crosses. she’s already two hundred dead children of her house. crux would die for her. aiglamene would die for her. her great aunts would die for her. no, harrow did not need death from gideon - harrow is surrounded by offers of death.

what harrow needs is affection. all those people would throw themselves on a blade for the reverend daughter, but none of them were willing to really love harrowhark - she’s never had gentleness or love any more than gideon has, really. gideon’s sacrifice is different because she really was dying for harrow, not for the reverend daughter, but harrow doesn’t differentiate like that. gideon died for her, and in the moment there was very little choice, but harrow really just needed gideon to stay with her and love her. to live for her.

she didn’t want gideon’s whole life. she just wanted gideon. and what’s heartbreaking is that gideon - or kiriona - is starting to realize that (see: the scene with crux, right at the end of nona the ninth). kiriona realises that her sacrifice wasn’t unique, that harrow has always had people who would happily throw themselves on a blade for her.
