So At My New Job There’s Been A Lot Of Confusion Over My Gender (which As An Enby Is Great) But Somehow

I loved this moment because of the way it shows Eddie's and Dulcie's different feelings about the situation. Because it's not exactly that they suspect Mike of being the killer because they suspect he's gay; but on the other hand it sort of is, that's not not happening. It's muddy. And it feels to me like Dulcie's reluctance to suspect Mike isn't only because she knows him and likes him -- it's also because of this. Because Dulcie's deeply uncomfortable with feeling like Mike possibly being gay is what is making them consider him as a suspect.

There's a way that this moment in particular really highlights Eddie's and Dulcie's different relationships to queerness, I feel. Eddie's done stuff. Dulcie OTOH has seen some shit, and her friends have seen some shit, and she knows exactly what kind of cop she doesn't ever want to be (the kind who targets queers).

And at the same time it also highlights their different approaches to detective work, because there's also a way that Eddie can see the situation clearly while Dulcie struggles to. What matters to Eddie is that Mike might have had a reason to be full of rage and bitterness toward the victims. Part of that is definitely that Dulcie lives here and has a personal relationship to Mike and Eddie does not, but I think another part of it is that Eddie has been doing detective work longer.

This show is just so well-written and I love it <3

I love this fucking show

If you can rank it, it's not a binary. /End image description.]

This is why I say crows are people. Look at this person. Look at how person they are.

That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore. They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares anymore what particular knot they used in the binding?" A.R. Moxon /End image description.]
