Whiskers discovers Larry is all show and no go. 

The Handmaid’s Tale 2x02, Unwomen

Reminder that this was the **hottest** sex scene of the show (maybe of any show, if I can be so bold). All of June’s emotions erupt out of her in this moment as she takes control over Nick (who’s simply lovin’ in).

lolllll

here. this.

There are so many things to love about the Nick and June scene this episode. I, for one, was worried that Nick was never going to be able to hold his baby so I was relieved that he gets to hold Holly

I also love the parallel of this scene to when June tells Nick she’s pregnant in 1x10

Their absolute adoration of their daughter and their genuine happiness at being together with her alone in a moment without Fred, without Serena

June finally, finally verbalizing that she loves Nick

But also, I love that they’re both feeling this love and joy and they’re both processing it differently. June is just letting herself be in that moment with no guilt or reservations or self-admonishment. She’s with a man she’s in love and their child and she’s happy and in that moment carefree

and it took her a while to get to that space

whereas Nick is so happy and so in love and he realizes that neither June nor Holly can stay there

he’s making a plan in his head at that exact moment, he’s going to do everything in his power to ensure that neither of them perish in that house and in GIlead

and he’s saying goodbye

tf why does this make my heart a mush??!!!

My hypothesis is that in like 10 years gen z is gonna have a big cult boom the way the boomers did in the 70s

“You never asked for a piece of my heart, but I gave it to you for free Then questioned why the only one who got hurt was me. I stuffed it in your pocket the first time you passed me by - Forcing you into a position for which you did not apply. But never had I ever seen a smile as special as yours And so I conflated halfhearted waves into something so much more, And finally you’ve come back to return your unwanted token; I dismantle my heart for pretty strangers then wonder why it’s so broken.”

every-fucking-single conservative woman ever these days

Serena Joy is also an allegory of the right-wing/conservative anti-feminist woman’s tendency to take the freedoms and rights that their feminist foremothers fought and died for, for granted. 

She took for granted:

Her freedom to get an education and later become an author

Her ability to take on a leadership role in a movement 

The concept of equal partnership with her husband

Having original ideas for a movement and being credited with them

She thought the idea of “the good old days” sounded good in theory but she failed to realize in practice she’d lose everything that makes her Serena.
