i am NOTHING in my soul but obssessive

[stxrfiish]

whatever actually happened between papenathy haunts me. bc I do not believe the story richard tells. ur telling me mr no.1 Unreliable Narrator said my gay friend and I made out one time but im totally straight so we both just forgot about it and then had a very concise conversation later on, explicitly concluding ‘I am not attracted to you.’ and it never came up again. brother what are you hiding

[talkshowboyluvr]

despite being aware that this is richard’s way of subtly telling us he is either taller or the same height as francis i just don’t believe him

reading the handmaids tale rn and i thought about a like minds handmaids tale au. comment thy thoughts … (i dont imagine either nigel or alex to be a commander though but thats my two cents. perhaps sons of commanders.)

[lunalunar123]

I think they could be the sons of Commanders, especially since the Order in the movie mirrors the Commanders' elite hierarchy in this scenario.

Their environment would naturally shift from a traditional British boarding school to a strict, heavily indoctrinated Gilead military academy where the sons of elites are trained to be future Commanders and Angels.

The legacy Nigel speaks of could represent that very lineage, or perhaps it symbolizes the 'Old Way'—the modern world before the rise of Gilead.

And Nigel’s macabre interest in taxidermy could even serve as a forbidden rebellion against Gilead's holy laws of creation.

Additionally, Alex's mother's death in childbirth perfectly reflects Gilead’s reality, where the life of the mother is deprioritized in favor of the fetus.

Because of this, Alex would constantly battle intense guilt, torn between the strict religious duty drilled into him as a Commander’s son and the dark, intoxicating freedom that Nigel tempts him with.

Meanwhile, Nigel’s mother is just a trophy wife. Or maybe Nigel was born from a Handmaid because his mother is infertile, adding a layer of deep resentment to his character.

Above all, because of Gilead's brutal laws, Alex and Nigel must be exceptionally careful.

If anyone discovers they are together, it means certain death on the Wall.
