oh my god

writing characters that, in response to there being miraculously good british weather on the day of an event that is imperative to the plot, exclaim that God is either a socialist or a monarchist, respectively

incredible commentary on how hierarchies of any kind within society will ultimately serve to humiliate and dehumanise others. when nan is in diana's company, nobody cares if she is a lesbian, or someone with masculine proclivities. all they care about is how they can find some other way to control her (and even zena). this is crazy, but so real

so very interesting re. how nancy is infantilised and objectified at once

i want to psychoanalyse nan bro
