For years now I've been climbing the walls about John choosing to only share his culture with his daughter even (perhaps especially) if it means that culture dies with them.

It's an intensely diasporic choice(to me): the things you don't share can't be taken from you. They cannot be assimilated, or misunderstood, or changed. You keep your culture in the bottom of your heart and nobody can know what you've forgotten, what you never got to learn. Pop culture, western culture, the memes and the jokes, those are safe to share and expose to time and misunderstanding. Who the hell cares if the word "cavalier" has changed so much in the mouths of people who don't even know what a horse is? There is one woman in the empire with a Maori name and it's the only genuine thing he could ever give her.

no matter how you feel about john gaius, there is a locked tomb character who feels the same way about him. mercymorn was speaking for so many people when she said she wanted to put him in acid jail for character development. personally, i think he's a loser, and ianthe naberius agrees with me. some of you are probably extremely disturbed by his unsettling normalguy swag and yeah that is exactly how harrow reacted too.

in a series where frankly not a lot of experiances are relatable to your average person, i feel like the fandom and the canon can come together and collectively agree that there is something incredibly wrong with this character specifically.

My TLT hot take during this alectopause is that Alecto should've forcefemmed John along with forcenecromancing him.
