Poem by JmStorm
Bless you, Luke Thompson and your version of Benedict Bridgerton.
This iconic moment right here 👆🏾👆🏾
I need Kate and Benedict to combine their powers to make Anthony absolutely miserable in the best way in season 3.
you don't wanna know me now

Shout out to Max Minghella’s performance in 5x10 (and overall this season). The little moment where Nick is turning away from Tuello on the bridge and kind of taps the top of his own head is so out of character for Nick, who is usually very physically still and contained. With that moment and the way Nick is always fidgeting with his tie, Max really finds a way to communicate the rising tension and repression that bursts forth from Nick this episode.
His eyes in episode 10, you guys.
I just…
I can’t stop. Please excuse me. But like… have you ever seen anyone in the history of ever do something this incredible with just their eyes?!
It’s twice. It’s on the bridge, just staring at Fred. And it’s in the woods, staring at June.
(I left these images as dark as they naturally were because I actually love how dark this show is, but it’s A Situation to properly view, so I’m sorry about that!)
On the bridge - it’s just this satisfaction we’ve never seen before. It’s subtle in the sense that you could miss it if you didn’t “know him,” but holy shit. It’s SO CLEAR when you do. His eyes are literally glowing, more reflective, confident, victorious. I don’t know if he put in some drops just before this shot or if he can just do fucking magic with his eyes, but either way, look at him. It’s so good.
In the woods - he almost looks on the verge of tears here, and he’s just awestruck by her. I feel like I still have yet to digest all the layers of this gorgeously complicated performance, but it’s breathtaking, to be honest. There is almost this reverence that borders on a “fear of God” status, like he’s seeing the most perfect vision known to man and can hardly behold it. Am I making sense? We’re seeing this, right? His love for her is transcending anything we’ve witnessed. It’s reaching some new level that’s hard to even comprehend.
Every time I watch this scene, I feel like I’m hitting a new depth, and there are like… hundreds left to find.
Thank you, Max. Thank you, THT. Season 5, come through.
Nick & June (+ Luke) - 4.10
OK I figured I would just do a post because I got a few asks asking if I could write out my thoughts about Nick’s active involvement with June’s revenge vs. Luke’s push for her to let it go.
I’ve mentioned this before but I think it’s important to note that Luke and Moira are a unit now, they’re a team, they’re co-parents, they’re, I would argue, best friends, they’re family
and I think it’s important to note because Moira is emotionally dedicated to moving forward by letting the past go, she is doing all she can to build a life in Toronto
even when she’s angry about Fred and wants to send June to Geneva, it’s a palatable anger and a palatable response to that anger and when they find out about him being extradited to Gilead, her response is “Good, fine, whatever, I’m not wasting anymore energy on him” and Luke wants June to have the same response. He sees the work Moira is doing, he sees how communicative Moira has become, he sees how she helps the effort by working with nonprofits and raising money and contributing to The Fight in that way,
and he wants June to do that. I wouldn’t have said this in 4x07 but I do think he wants her to be a palatable victim/survivor but of course, he wouldn’t see it that way, I believe he believes that telling her to let it go and move on is healthy because she’s not “stuck” in trauma.
An anon said that Luke not being in Gilead so he can’t understand June is a copout explanation for his reaction and while I don’t think his behaviour should solely rest on the fact that he wasn’t in Gilead – let’s also remember in the flashbacks while Luke offhandedly mentioned that the new laws were terrible and he did walk with Moira to keep her safe, he wasn’t with June and Moira at the protests
Sure, it could be inferred that he was with Hannah or he was at work but even when they discuss the laws, he’s flippant
and unaware
but I do believe the fact that he wasn’t in Gilead plays a significant part.
Nick has seen the way that Gilead and Fred and Serena have negatively impacted June:
He found her, pregnant and bleeding out, outside of the Waterford House:
He has watched Fred and Serena play house with their child:
He has risked his life numerous times to keep June safe
and he has had to keep June safe by doing morally questionable things that immediately hurt her in order to save her:
He was forced to marry a fifteen year old girl because Fred couldn’t handle Nick and June having any sort of intimacy and through a series of different events Eden ended up dead:
It’s not only that he gets the context of June’s rage, I don’t think he simply accepts and supports that a way forward for June is through Fred’s death at her hands but he genuinely understands that,
He genuinely thinks that’s right, he genuinely wants a part in his murder because of everything Fred put June through and Nick through, which is why there’s as such a strong sense of victory in his eyes when he takes Fred into custody
And Luke, living in Toronto for how many years, doesn’t understand the concept of killing Fred in the same context that Nick or June does, murder isn’t a viable option for him because he’s always lived in a different kind of society, under different kinds of laws and hasn’t had to do things and hasn’t had to lose people and pieces of himself in the way that these two have.
But I think another dimension to this is that Nick knows a different June than Luke. I mean this in terms of personality and behaviour. Nick knows a stubborn, active, rebellious, facetious, tenacious June
And these are qualities that he loves about June and he knows what would be enough for her and understands her motivations and her morally ambiguous actions, he sees her and there’s some of these qualities in Nick himself, which we see in how he reacts and responds and loves June:
so there is a genuine, intimate understanding there that leads to them both planning and executing Fred’s death as a victory.
The June Luke knows is perpetually apologetic
and seems to always feel bad for not behaving in a way he can wrap his head around
and she is worried that she isn’t good enough, that she won’t live up to his expectations:
and frankly, that’s a thread from their pre-Gilead relationship,
and while they were together long enough for there to be a sense of security for June, because of the way they got together, there’d been an undercurrent of insecurity
and he would make her feel better
and it would presumably work
June pre-Gilead is facetious, yes, and the fact that she went to the protest shows that an impulse to do something active, particularly with a mother like Holly, exists, yes, but she doesn’t press an issue, she doesn’t really show the kind of stubbornness and fire that she has in Gilead (probably because she didn’t have to)
and, again, Luke was enough
so I think Luke kind of expected him saying “this is OK” and “I understand” and “let’s move on” and “Fred doesn’t matter” would have the same kind of effect that it did pre-Gilead, he expected her being in Canada and the promise of him and them to be enough but, June is not that June anymore, their relationship isn’t that relationship anymore, she’s a June that needs the victory she found with Nick.
Does any of that even make sense? Lol. I feel like I was all over the place, so sorry for that, but those are my thoughts!

Love Unveiled: Nick and June's Relationship as the Embodiment of 1 Corinthians 13:4-7🌹🖤
In the midst of a dystopian world governed by oppression and control, the relationship between Nick and June stands as a shining example of love's enduring power. Their connection embodies the timeless words of 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, which beautifully articulate the qualities of love. In this blog post, we will explore how Nick and June's relationship reflects the essence of this biblical scripture.
1. Love is Patient:
The scripture reminds us that love is patient, and Nick and June's relationship exemplifies this quality. Despite the obstacles and dangers they face, they display patience in their journey. For instance, Nick patiently waits for June to gather herself in moments of frustration, understanding that she may need space. Likewise, June demonstrates patience by navigating her circumstances with resilience and perseverance, waiting for the opportunity to reunite with her daughter, Hannah.
2. Love is Kind:
Nick and June's relationship showcases kindness in the face of adversity. They offer each other emotional support and comfort during their darkest moments. Whether it's a gentle touch, a whispered word of encouragement, or an act of selflessness, their love consistently radiates kindness. June finds solace and tenderness in Nick's presence, which strengthens their bond even amidst the harsh realities of Gilead.
3. Love Does Not Envy or Boast:
In a world where envy and competition thrive, Nick and June's relationship remains free from such negative traits. They do not seek to outdo or undermine one another. Instead, their love exists without jealousy or boasting. Their connection is built on mutual respect and understanding, with each valuing the other's strengths and supporting their individual journeys.
4. Love Keeps No Record of Wrongs:
Forgiveness and letting go of past transgressions are essential elements of love. Nick and June exemplify this by embracing forgiveness in their relationship. Despite the complexities and mistakes made along the way, they find a way to move forward, offering each other grace and understanding. They prioritize the present and the hope for a better future, rather than dwelling on past mistakes.
5. Love Always Protects, Trusts, and Perseveres:
Nick and June's relationship embodies the qualities of protection, trust, and perseverance. Nick goes to great lengths to keep June safe, risking his own well-being to ensure her survival. Their trust in each other deepens as they navigate the challenges of Gilead together. Despite the trials they face, their love endures, and they persevere in their fight against the oppressive regime.
Nick and June's relationship beautifully embodies the biblical scripture of 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. Their love demonstrates patience, kindness, forgiveness, and a steadfast commitment to protecting and trusting one another. As their connection unfolds amidst the dystopian landscape, it serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of love, even in the most challenging circumstances. Through their unwavering devotion, Nick and June's relationship showcases the eternal qualities of love, leaving an indelible mark on readers and viewers alike.

My father raised me to act with honor, but that honor is hanging by a thread that grows more precarious with every moment I spend in your presence. You are the bane of my existence, and the object of all my desires. Night and day, I dream of you.
