My first reaction to the reason Ruben killed Niall was “huh, of all things, it’s not like that was even that bad given the things that have happened and what they’ve gone through” and I feel like that’s such a compliment to Richard Gadd’s writing

Because of course it’s not a good reason, it’s murder, there’s not good reasons for murder. But I got so sucked into the mindset and dynamic of the show I was willing to accept a scenario where Ruben’s violence would surely feel reasonable

But of course it’s not, it never was, and when Niall dies so does the narrative lens that loves and forgives Ruben for all he does

Ruben killing Niall is like all of his other violence; Senseless, immature, a self conscious attempt to prove something to himself. It was because of a pretty big betrayal, yes, but considering everything else that happens it doesn’t seem like it should be the one big horrible thing that is worse than everything else. But it’s not about escalating betrayal, it’s about Ruben’s escalating rationalization of his violent actions that lead him to decide killing Niall is ok

Ruben wanted to be the most Alpha Male he could be, and what is more pure animalistic Alpha Male than killing a rival male in competition for breeding territory? He did it, he achieved the peak of masculinity, and it was hollow, it meant nothing, he gained nothing, nothing about the situation changed for the better or was resolved. There would be no storming off and then talking things out later when they’d cooled down like all the other times, instead of closure it was a wound that would now never close because the violence was never what resolved anything between them. It was the talking, the hugging, the crying, the apologizing. But Ruben’s nature couldn’t accept that, it had to be the violence that did it

I do wonder at his mindset in that moment. If he’d known going into the killing that he would get no ultimate satisfaction but he felt his personal code demanded it. Or if part of him didn’t really understand the finality of what he was doing until it had happened and suddenly ‘Oh, oh it’s all done now, it’s over, it’s gone’

I know there are people who don’t like the ending but I loved it man, I love fucked up relationships that end in fucked up ways

imagine being ruben and everybody hates you right? everybody thinks you're a good for nothing piece of shit who should have stayed in jail and all you do is get into trouble and make your mum's life worse and make everyone's life worse because you're nothing nothing nothing

and then you meet niall (again). and you can help him. and he looks at you with his big brown eyes like you're his hero. he worships you. he begs you to come to his college and you do and he's grinning like an idiot and looking at you like you're a god and throwing glances at his new fancy college friends as if to say: "do you see? do you see? that's my brother. he's handsome and cool and he doesn't give a fuck and you love him and you want him but he's mine and he's everything everything everything" and you'll never ever be a small scared dumb kid again as long as niall is there to make you feel like a man

the imagery of niall in his wedding attire smeared in blood and dirt and maybe cum with his kilt rucked up to his thighs and his brother’s bandages strewn about his lifeless body like silk ribbons… they can never take that away from me

He could have easily brought a knife or gun or rope in there, he could have strangled him with one hand, he could have even stomped him to death but Ruben chose to smother Niall by covering his mouth to shut him up forever and push back all the awful truths he could utter. It's always been about the things Niall says and his words, or what he could say, or what he doesn't say. The night Ruben's father was shouting at their window, the exam, in court, the money, Mona cheating, etc. Him making money by telling Ruben's story in his books. "It wasn't hers to give away" in reaction to Mona talking about his infertility but what could *Niall* do with the kind of secrets Ruben's told him? Niall's words ruined their last chance at happiness (from Ruben's perspective at least) in a moment Ruben felt lighter than perhaps ever. Even Baird - bard - poet is Niall's. Ruben's the rolling hills but Niall is the storyteller who weaves the threads of their lives. And now he'll be silent forever.

just saw someone refer to "incest subtext in ginger snaps" and i think we're stretching the word subtext to near breaking point in that one

[the-blue-fairie]

According to Ernest Mathijs' book on the making of the film, the incestuous element was very deliberately built into the film from the ground up:

Sister, My Sister (one of the films used as a point of reference) is explicitly about incest.

Also the navel piercing scene reads like this:

People ignore it because they want Ginger to be less predatory and more "likable."

me when I pick up on VIBES between my GAY brother and some fuck ass GUY who i immediately HATE for reasons we dont have to get into just now so I have to shift into my COCK OUT power stance to establish DOMINANCE. just BECAUSE.

me and the other freaks when the ending has homoerotic double homicide

[wiltking]

do you think if they got together (whatever the fuck that would mean for them) ruben would be just as handsy (possesive) with niall in public / in front of everyone as he is with mona. feeling him up kissing him nuzzling him not-too-quietly murmuring about what he wants to do to niall when they get home for all to hear. especially when its least appropriate. i mean obviously yes but the thought is too grand to consider directly. too devastating. severely repressed and ashamed niall getting undeniably and unbrotherly manhandled by the very source of his shame and repression in broad daylight. do you think they could keep themselves from having questionable public sex on the regular. do you think former public sex addict niall could deny him.

[buttholy]

I'd like to pause the "is it blood/is it cum" discussion and offer this: niall as the violated bride whose gown is stained with the blood of her stolen purity meant for her husband's sheets

[omegarodstewart]

I will give Richard Gadd kudos for the decision to have Ruben kill Niall. If Niall had been allowed to kill himself it would have given him freedom over his own death/agency, and thus would have freed him narratively from the cycle of abuse he was caught in. To disallow that reinforces that this is a story that we’ve seen many times in real life. An abusive partner killing their victim. Niall was brutalized from first to last by Ruben. He had no choice. He was murdered. The position Niall lies in in death, the choice of suffocation, and Ruben’s shirtless state only remind the viewer of the continued current of sexual abuse that runs through this story. The banality of the tragedy depicted only reinforces its emotional impact. Ruben does not repent in the end or cradle Niall’s body. The viewer is left feeling hollow.
