Tumblr media
— best friend headcannons with nick. ⸰ 𖥔 ͙
warnings: swearing, mentions of alcohol, not proofread.
a/n: i love y’alls reqs omg 🙁
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
— i just know he’s a clingy ass best friend idc. wants to take you anywhere and everywhere he goes simply because he enjoys your presence that much.
— this mf would definitely show up to your house unannounced. he’d text you asking if he can come over and as soon as you say yes he’s like “good because i was waiting outside”.
— he’s so unserious. convinces you to make up a fake language in an uber as you’re going home from a party. needless to mention you were both wasted (+ the uber driver was incredibly confused LMFAO).
— he loves going out to eat with you. nothing fancy, you could go out and eat mcdonald’s and he’d be the happiest man on earth because he gets to gossip with you.
— you two bully matt and chris together. as soon as nick found out about the chester picture on akinator, he made your clueless ass play just to see it. (spoiler alert: both of you ended up crying with laughter on the floor– chris was pissed.)
— he wants you involved in everything. before going on tour, he asked you to help him practice basketball because he wanted to take his brothers down LMAO.
— loves going shopping with you. he gives you the greatest advice on fashion and you do the same for him. (you always get at least four matching outfits).
— adding onto the matching thing, y’all will always be matching it’s so funny. at some point people start to think you’re his long lost sister because oh my god. the hair is always matching. he’s blonde? nah, both of you are going blonde. you’re going back to brunette? he’s going back too.
— getting your nails done with him is so fun. you two always go together. he helps you pick out your design duh.
— great with advice!! he may seem really unserious but if you’re having a deep conversation or just overall need some advice, he’s always there willing to help you.
— drinking with him is so fun bye. i know he’s a sucker for smirnoff argue w the wall! sometimes you’ll both get a little tipsy and either you start talking about the true meaning of life and what your purpose on earth is or what color a dog’s vision really is.
— he’s the type of friend that’ll send you at least 50 tiktoks daily and 20 reels. laughs at the stupidest shit LMAOO. half of the reels are cats dancing or something.
— he’s a gift giver trust. whether it’s something small like your usual coffee order or something huge on your birthday, he loves giving you gifts.
— y’all have a sibling type of relationship. you never argue. obviously you’re bound to have disagreements but those are solved in two seconds LMAO. matt and chris get so confused because one minute you’re yelling at each other and the next you’re laughing your ass off at some tiktok nick showed you.
— matching halloween costumes duh. it could literally be june and he’d already have at least ten ideas on what to go as for halloween.
— every sunday you go and get ice cream and tell each other everything about your week.
— you have a shared spotify playlist just so you can update each other on what music you’ve been listening to lately.

Nick's Playlist
This one’s moody listen and it seems our rebellious hero, June Osborne, just can’t stop hitting that replay button no matter how hard she tries. It’s okay June, neither can we. Today I’m going to look beneath all the romance to try and decode our mutinous young commander. Welcome to our Noir resident bad boy playlist.
Tumblr media
Everybody Breaks
This is possibly Blaine’s most famous line and it’s a confession, a warning and a prediction all in one. It sums up the Nick Blaine we first encounter and the one who ends up delivering that sweet right hook to Lawrence in the middle of his marriage festivities, yet somehow they’re a world apart……track 1; Everybody Breaks.
Tumblr media
Nick’s realised something; June doesn’t seem to care about or understand the rules. Now the Eyes have been called and Nick thinks it’s time for a little Gilead truth bomb “it’s not about being tough or brave, brave isn’t a part of any of this……Everybody breaks….Everybody.” This is the first time we see Nick speak to June with an unmasked honesty, and while he may have intended to warn her, it’s now abundantly clear that Nick has some ghosts of his own. This is Nick version 1; afraid, alone, distrustful and broken. This is Nick resigned to servitude, to the inevitability that his cage means “it’s going to end the same way no matter what you do”. This is Nick, unwilling to step out of line, and yet here he is sticking his neck out making a bid on June’s behalf with the Eyes, to keep the wolf from the door.
Tumblr media
While Nick may be full of reproach, he’s unintentionally told her something personal and as a result, the first chink in his armor appears. His warning to comply and resign herself to her inevitable fate is reflected beautifully when Blaine looks in his rear view to see her defiantly glaring back at him, she not only won’t be broken, but she’ll show him what real fighting looks like.
Tumblr media
The cracks start to appear almost immediately, first he’s coming to her room alone, next he’s fessing up to being an Eye, then he’s secreting her away at The Boston Globe, before you know it he’s dragging her rapist out into a forest to die and finally in season 5 he’s laying down the law in a room full of Commanders. “Everybody breaks”……how little he knows at that point how prophetic that will be for him. June is for all intents and purposes, his breaking point.
Tumblr media
I should've Just driven away with you.
Is it hot in here? Nick comes to June’s room with a handful of ice and instead of handing it to her he cups it in her hand and strokes it. This is one of those instances where touching hands is enough to raise the temperature by about 20 degrees.
Tumblr media
This method of the intimate but almost casual touch is often used in period dramas where any type of incidental physical contact is a big deal and pashing someone is something you only ever do with your intended. June may have previously flirtatiously flashed a bit of knee but this right here is where it all begins, it’s the first time he’s actually touched her and it’s no coincidence that it’s the start of all their hand brushing. From then on all the hand brushing is like a secret message between the two, a reassurance of love and support.
Tumblr media
From the second half of season 4 and most of season 5 all the hand brushing business was gone, granted there wasn’t much of an opportunity but that really was the point, the two lovers were separated. At the end of season 5 Nick visits June in the hospital and for the first time in almost 2 seasons we see him brush her hand and she stirs in her sleep, somehow she feels him there….here we go.
Tumblr media
This sentiment of running away together, echoes throughout the seasons. These two are the very definition of “love through the barricades” and their impossible dream reveals the excruciating reality of war. This is the first time we hear Nick express his desire, it’s just a foundling idea of escapism with no solid destination at this point, but this “voice beneath the floorboards” grows increasingly louder and louder throughout the seasons. Here we see that Nick’s officially started to figuratively flirt with the idea of freedom, and as he walks out of the room he looks back at her and sighs, she’s trouble, the whole thing is trouble, but he just CAN’T help himself.
Tumblr media
I'm just a driver
This is the first and only time we have seen Nick and Luke together and their exchange is gripping from start to finish. This few minutes provides us with an insight into how different and similar these two men are at their core:
Tumblr media
Nick the portrait of stoicism, downplays his importance in everything, he’s wary and reluctant to engage, but he can’t leave Canada without sending June’s family word of her well being. Luke tries to be rational but he’s sensitive and becomes emotional, having said that, no one should blame him for his response to Nick’s news. The first and only time he’s laid eyes on Nick is when he was opening the car door for the Waterford’s, so as far as he knows they’re all in cahoots.
Tumblr media
One might argue that Nick telling Luke that he and June are pals should be good enough and initially it is, but add to this the devastating news that his wife is now pregnant to the New wave version of Hitler, he understandably becomes a little emotional. It’s not an unusual reaction, in our everyday lives it’s those in closest proximity that usually bear the brunt of our frustrations. So why doesn’t Nick admit to the parentage of his own child? As horrifying as it is, a commander is expected by Gilead law to impregnate the handmaids, but what the fuck would a driver be doing impregnating his wife? It’s up to June to tell Luke about this and he knows it.
Tumblr media
The first time Nick sights Luke he’s holding a huge picture of June with her family, for the first time Nick is confronted by the reality of her stolen former life. The three of them look blissful in the photograph and holding it is her enraged husband, Nick understands Luke’s love and grief all too well. He does the one thing he can do; brings news of her to her desperate, mourning family. At first Luke doesn’t seem particularly grateful, he’s gutted that Waterford is using his wife as a walking womb and pushes Nick out the door. Suddenly realizing that Nick is his only link to his wife and daughter, he takes after him with questions and a message for June.
Tumblr media
The shot in the doorway is bathed in red light, there’s a certain sense of intimacy and closeness in this moment, reflecting the bond these 2 men share in the woman they both love. “You tell her I’ll never stop” Luke says, but unconsciously he speaks for Nick as well. Ever the enigma, Nick minimises his importance to June, referring to himself as “just a driver” and disappears into the descending shadows, but it won’t be long before Luke will learn the truth about the man he met that night.
Tumblr media
I'm trying to keep you alive
Beneath the romance lies a deeply symbolic connection between Nick and June and despite its incredible importance, it’s one that’s easily missed. Ever notice how June is constantly bathed in a glowing golden light around Nick? Well that’s because June Osborn represents freedom, a breath of new hope, and in season 1 and 2 Nick Blaine falls deeply in love with the incarnation of his own liberty and that of his country.
Tumblr media
While he sacrificed this dream for the sake of June and Holly’s freedom, and acquiesced to become the good little soldier throughout seasons 3, 4 and 5, his constant longing for freedom could clearly still be seen beneath the veneer. Nick Blaine was introduced as a character disillusioned by the political landscape of his country and deceived into a fascist dictatorship. He for all intents and purposes is the personification of the imprisonment of America’s masses, while June represents freedom and rebellion. Together these two conceive the embodiment of what will become the liberty of their country. Almost everything that Nick Blaine does and says, and the entire landscape of Nick and June’s relationship, can be reframed to match this analogy. If this is true, then the Nick and June endgame is a self fulfilling prophecy, for The Testaments tells us that one day Gilead will fall and America will be free. It is no coincidence that just as he holds Holly in his arms, his eyes filling with tears of joy and June tells him she loves him for the first time. This symbolic union is concrete evidence that Nick and only Nick could be her father, for Fred would NEVER have the capacity, nor possess the desire to give life to rebellion.
Tumblr media
“I’m trying to keep you alive” Blaine says dressed from head to foot in military commander garb, June lies helpless on the ground and at the front lines a war is raging. In his heart he tries to keep the dream of liberty alive. June slowly rises to her feet, their eyes meet and a blinding light surrounds them. As he kneels in the van pleading with June to allow him to help her, he is literally begging for that dream of freedom not to die.
Tumblr media
Ultimately the Handmaid’s must be given up for June to survive and freedom to prevail, like troops being sacrificed in battle for the greater good. Blaine understands sacrifice all too well, before he was Military fodder he was the Waterford’s whipping boy and before that he was the forgotten bottom of America’s working class. There’s not a day he’s lived that he’s known actual freedom and he’ll do just about anything to keep the one person, who gave him a glimpse, alive.
Tumblr media
God is not to be mocked
Ever notice how Fred is always showing up to ruin all those special Nick and June moments? Well this is officially the last time that’s ever going to happen. You see dear old Fred’s about to have a very, very bad day (or night as the case may be) and it is undoubtedly one of the most satisfying things you will ever watch. Nick Blaine spends so much time standing in the shadows and playing fetch and carry, that people lose their ever loving minds when he finally steps up and becomes a bit of a boss. Just prior to June chasing Fred down like a dog and tearing him apart, comes one of the most gratifying Nick moments you will ever see. Nick comes and collects Fred from the border and gives him THIS look....
Tumblr media
I think it’s fair to say that right there, Fred should have already known he was dead AF. Marching his belligerent former master through a cold dark forest, Nick delivers a vicious back hand across Fred’s whiny mouth sending him to his knees. It’s a call back to a slap Fred gave June in season 2 when he’d been helpless to act. Aside from holding his child for the first time, it was also the closest we ever saw Blaine to tears. In that dark forest it is not only June, but Nick who reclaims his power back from Fred. Fred has stolen his pride and laid claim to the woman he loves, and at last it’s finally time to make him bleed for it. When he kisses June in front of him he blatantly exposes Fred’s sense of control as nothing more than delusion, he’s been duped by the two lovers. As June comes over the hill towards them, she is surrounded by light and Nick stares at her with adoration.
Tumblr media
“God is not to be mocked, whatever a man sows, so shall he reap” Blaine says, delivering his most notable “fuck around and find out” speeches to date. This entire scene is a stunning callback to the Noir sequence at the end of Nightshade, and it’s evident that here Blaine’s also speaking for himself, for throughout the seasons we’ve seen Nick sow the seeds of freedom again and again. Now he’s brought liberty and rebellion herself a blood sacrifice to feed the soil, she looks at him with love and thanks him…..inevitably these seeds must bloom.
Tumblr media
In season 1 Nick attempted to sever ties with June, but this is season 4 and June is everything to him, she is the lover, the leader, the creator and the destroyer. Fred is about to find out exactly what that last one means.
Tumblr media
I'm nothing
Easily my favorite track on the whole Nick Playlist, this is where Blaine finally crosses over and tells Gilead to go fuck themselves and IT IS AWESOME. Being the finale this was of course a stand out episode for season 5 and Blaine’s walk across the bridge was a huge season highlight.
Tumblr media
It signified an incredible moment of growth for his character, the attempt on June’s life being the catalyst for change needed to push him over the edge, or the bridge as it were. Nick finally made the choice we always knew he would: he would prefer to die at the barricades for freedom, than live in slavery for the rest of his life. Tuello and Blaine finally strike a deal for June and Nicole’s safety and his eventual immunity, in exchange for becoming a government spy. Tuello and Blaine stand together looking in on June framed in the hospital windows like eyes, a sign of their burgeoning partnership. Nick gets 5 minutes alone with June, the hospital room is silent and ghostly and he watches her sleep. He strokes her hand and she gently rouses, it’s time to fight again.
Tumblr media
“It’s best she doesn’t know I was here” he says and while Tuello acquiesces, you just KNOW come season 6, June’s going to find out and personally I cannot wait. Tuello has increasingly become the voice of reason in the last few seasons and there’s one thing he is dying to know, Why the Hell didn’t Nick run away with June when he had the chance? “She doesn’t need me. I’m nothing.” Blaine says to a visibly gob smacked Tuello. His face softens and his voice cracks just a little as he reassures the young commander “No you’re not Commander, not to her.” June is his liberty and she has not forgotten him, one day he will be free.
Tumblr media
“You will never let her go will you” Rose asks Nick, having witnessed his act of dissent in a room full of commanders, “I can’t…I tried, I really tried” he sighs. In The Handmaid’s Tale, freedom and true love are the highest rewards, for Nick and June these are intimately intertwined. Where 4 09 had left me a crushed wailing mess, 5 10 gave us a glimmer of hope and it came in the most unlikely of places. In storytelling, one hallmark of earning the reward of true love is to humble yourself before it entirely, to fight for its namesake with no expectation of reward. When Blaine signed Tuello’s contract and said those two words; that is exactly what he did.

Part 3: 70 Heart kisses 2016 on
This post is in three parts:
When Harry got the Heart tattoo
70 Heart Kisses (1D years), and
70 Heart Kisses continued. (Solo career)
The amazing @womanexile and @this-daydream-is-dangerous-13started this off with finding a good chunk of these. This is by no means a complete list, I think that would be impossible. It’s also important to note that only Harry knows what this tattoo is about, why he kisses it or if that is for one person and who that is.
2017
After no performances in 2016 the heart kiss returned with HS1 but less frequently. In early 2016 Harry and Taylor had been close but by 2017 Taylor was dating Joe and Harry was very emotional on stage. See 2017 timeline. Harry also started performing with a guitar which gave his arms something to do and I think less kisses as a result.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Late March 2017 - London- During his Behind the Album performance for HS1, he not only kissed the heart, he also kisses the guitar it’s thought she had given him as a gift! This was a major moment for Harry and one he was emotional in.  He is good at first but there’s a head in hands moment at 28:10. Then, emotional. Time stamps 32:09 during Sweet Creature  37:48 guitar kiss during ESNY 52:45 kisses OTHER arm during SOTT (when he was explaining the rest of the concert to that nervous fan in July, he described this song as “emotional but hopeful” so maybe that’s a hopeful thing, that arm has ‘Things I can’/the Eagle) 
13 May 2017 - London- secret gig at the Garage in Islington - pink pants black shirt 7:52 during Sweet Creature
Tumblr media Tumblr media
19 May 2017 - Troubadour, LA, on the eve of their 5 year anniversary of May 20th, while performing Leather and Lace with Stevie Nicks (1:18), Harry started crying and kissed the heart. Harry was really excited throughout the show, they performed two ghosts as a duet after which he said he was losing his s*** (but in a cool way, with a point to presumably James). 
28 September 2017 - Radio City NY - Story of my life may have an aborted arm kiss (2:30) FTDT also (3:35). On Harry and Taylor’s 28 September anniversary. Taylor marked the day with a 70 song ‘Taylor loves’ Spotify playlist.
14 October 2017 - Phoenix - During Meet me in the Hallway (1:39). After “I walked the streets all day”  before “running with the thieves”. This was Harry's last US show and he returned to Europe. His next show was in Paris where he cried twice in FTDT on 'even my phone misses your call' twice. (1:55 and again 3:30)
2 November 2017 - Glasgow- Sweet Creature on “you bring me home” (maybe, this tour had tricky lighting) (2:19) Kiwi and Reputation were released soon after. 
2018
Tumblr media Tumblr media
12 June 2018 - Nashville - Sweet Creature (2:45) Harry moves to kiss his arm but doesn’t after “you bring me home” he was in Taylor’s home city. 
30 June 2018 - Chicago - Sweet Creature, a possible other arm kiss (5:11). Taylor and Harry were both in Chicago, Taylor played New Years Day with an introduction about jumping into icy pools that Taylor Nation has cut from their version. 
2 July 2018 - St Paul - Only Angel - the other arm at 3:30 and the heart at 4:33. On the same night Harry changed the lyric of “running with wolves” to “running with you” (2:00) Taylor had played this stadium the night she had the temper trap song as arm lyrics which Harry tattooed on its anniversary. Taylor had been in nearby Chicago when Harry was there the day before and not seen this day. 
In July 2020 Taylor released Cardigan with a reference to a ‘Tattoo Kiss’:

The later we go the less we really know about what is going on. The heart kisses may also have different meanings. 
The 2021 timeline is interesting, starting with talking at the Grammy’s then the Brits, Harry finished writing Harry’s House and Taylor started Midnights in this period. 
22 September 2021 - St Paul - Falling, with Two Ghosts intro (4:31). Wildest Dreams TV was released a few days earlier, Harry and Taylor had spent time in St Paul in the past. 
25 September 2021 - Chicago - Falling, at the end twice with a smile and again during Adore you. When Harry last played Chicago Taylor was also there. 
21 October 2021 - Uncasville, during thank you speech. Harry and Taylor had been in Nashville at the same time earlier that month when Harry had written Satellite.
25 October 2021 - Boston - Falling. An old selfie of Joe and Taylor from 2016 leaked a few days earlier.
27 October 2021 - Atlanta - the start of Falling (0:09) right arm kiss. On the anniversary of 1989’s release. On the same day Taylor posted an instagram reel captioned ‘Basic autumn lovers RISE’ reenacting a 2014 Tumblr post including trying lyrics to ATW ‘Just between us did he love affair maim you too?’
Tumblr media Tumblr media
10 November 2021 - Sacramento - Falling - on ‘it kills me we have run out of things to say’ link. Harry wore Red to celebrate the Re-record of Red TV, which is the first of Taylor's albums with songs about Harry.

2022
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As above, we know less about Harry’s relationships now, however the 2022 timeline is also interesting. Taylor completed Midnights and based on it’s lyrics, her relationship with Joe was not great. Harry released Harry’s House and at the end of the year broke up with Olivia.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
11 July 2022 - Munich during Adore You and LOML. 
16 July 2022 Vienna - during Adore you, after the crowd saying let me adore you and him saying “okay”

The 2023 timeline is interesting, Harry had separated from Olivia, Taylors separation from Joe was announced. They were both on tour and both replaced setlist songs with older Haylor songs. 
29 January 2023 - Los Angeles, Forum Night 15 - Love of My Life - Anatomical Heart Kiss (0:42) Harry also played Medicine! Between filming Satellite and the Grammy’s

28 Feburary 2023 - Gold Coast, QLD - during Satellite after “do you want to talk?” (4:48)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
13 June 2023 - Wembley - kissed other arm (0:06) during Grapejuice and kissed the Heart Tattoo during As It Was after “...and I’m the one who will stay” (0:41) The day before Taylor played All You Had to Do was Stay as a Surprise Song on the 10th June. Harry played Best Song Ever intro to WMYB.
17 June 2023 - Wembley - at the end of Sweet Creature Harry went to kiss the tattoo and stopped himself then looked at the crowd with a cheeky embarrassed look. (3:16). Gemma had a baby 8 months later. Taylor had a particularly emotional show that night. She gave an extra wild Champagne Problems speech and extra long and weird Betty Speech and had Aaron Dessner out to play Seven and hugs Taylor at the end. Later a photo of TR sitting with Jeff in one of the Wembley crowds surfaced months later. Interestingly, this is the anniversary of Taylors 2011 Lover Journal entry days after Harry was MIA in the US when Taylor had the Temper Trap arm lyrics in St Paul. 
18 June 2023 - Wembley link Wembley n1 during as it was another link. I think the show above sums this up. Cruel Summer was officially released as a single 2 days later.

nother snippet! its road trip time!
brief mention of implied morning wood and sexual attraction/arousal but its barely there
    They decide to use Jack’s old Jeep, which he’d left for Spot when he’d gone to college, because it has a bed built in the trunk, and also because Spot needs driving hours for her test and she’s already used to that one. On the first week of June, they load their bags into the  trunk - under the mattress - and head out for the long drive from New York to San Fransisco. 
   During the day, they listen to Tony’s upbeat, 12 hour playlist, full of Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, David Bowie, SZA, a frankly absurd amount of Megan Thee Stallion (“She’s a modern day Homer,” He argues when Katherine mentions it), and plenty of other pop artists. Katherine suspects it’s the playlist he uses for Modern.
    In the evening, they play Davey’s softer playlist, simply titled crush. He pointedly does not make eye contact with Katherine when Spot and Tony tease him about it. Nick Drake, The Staves, Joni Mitchell, Taylor Swift (“Red and Folklore are masterpieces and New Year’s Day is the most beautiful song she’s written.” He argues when Spot asks about it), and Lana Del Rey croon about love, and it’s frankly a bit terrifying. She does not think about it.
   Of course, she has her own music, for nights when she can’t sleep and sits in the bathtub of their motel rooms thinking and marking. Mostly because Spot and Tony take one bed, like the lovesick assholes they are, leaving her in a bed with Davey. She would rather share the trunk bed with all four of them in a Denny’s parking lot than risk waking up with his mouth in her hair and her back pressed against him. It had already happened once and. Well. Davey is a teenage boy. Sometimes things happen. She’d pulled Spot into the bathroom at the iHop where they ate breakfast and confided in her about this situation and Spot had laughed at her like the terrible friend she is. 
   On one notable occasion, Spot hyped her up enough to wear the leggings while she stretched in the morning and when she’d started her grande pliés en second, he’d excused himself to use the restroom. For an hour. She doesn’t think about it.

THT True Love and Double Trouble Remix Part 1.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Over the next few mixes I’m going to talk about the embodiment of themes and concepts in character constructs, in particular for the participants of our infamous Handmaid’s Tale love triangle, Nick, June and Luke. I first wrote about Nick and June’s character concepts in Nick’s Playlist last year, but let’s face it ALL of these characters are intimately bound to one another and it’s finally time to talk about how and why. Welcome to the True Love & Double Trouble Remixes.
JUNE
Tumblr media
In general when constructing a character for the purpose of telling a story, they’re written with themes and concepts in mind which form their history, motivation, journey and final destination. In Atwood’s text June is meant to represent the everyday woman, nameless, caught up in the whirlwind that is Gilead. She acts as an unreliable narrator, providing her unique perspective that seems simultaneously fantastical and horrifically true. She is propelled from a life of relative peace and tranquility into one of slavery and subjugation. Gilead’s expectations and restrictions are used throughout to not only contrast against our understanding of basic freedoms, but also highlight an existing undercurrent of societal gender bias in June’s pre Gilead life. She engages in acts of rebellion that give her a sense of freedom and ultimately launch her into unknown territory. In the series June transforms from someone who’s “not that kind of person” into Gilead’s worst nightmare….hope.
Tumblr media
Those stolen from a free country and forced to live in slavery, still recall their liberty and therefore relentlessly seek it through constant acts of rebellion. A generation born into it however, may easily be taught to accept it as ordinary, as Aunt Lydia observes in S1; given time the abnormal will become the new normal. When June smuggles out a plane load of children, she steals Gilead’s ability to normalise its fascist ideals in the next generation. It gives those trapped in Gilead hope and in S4 and 5 we see Gilead’s relentless campaign to eliminate her, extinguishing her legend and therefore any ensuing acts of rebellion.
Tumblr media
In S4 when Osborne is recaptured as a handmaid her notoriety and subsequent incarceration is used to create a loss of hope amongst the Handmaids. If June Osborne a handmaid of such repute can be bridled by Gilead, their power must be complete. By the same logic, once June Osborn escapes their grasp, her freedom cannot be tolerated. June represents the spirit of rebellion who along with Nick Blaine, gives birth to her countries future liberty; Holly. June reclaims her sexual freedom in the form of her relationship with Nick, but it’s not just sex, it’s the seeds of rebellion, liberty and love that are being sown here. Her bond with his character is a clear statement about her need to journey into deeper personal uncharted territory, in order to achieve freedom. It’s a message about the necessity of love to sustain us as human beings, the need for community and family, and how intimately these are tied to free will. As their relationship crystalizes his sense of freedom and her power grows.
Tumblr media
“No one dies from lack of sex, it’s lack of love we die from”, “Grab love wherever you can find it” June states as her relationship with Nick deepens. The tenor of these statements and the recording to Luke “I am ashamed……..He helped me to survive” speak loudly of a sense of guilt that she has found love somewhere else, painting it as a matter of sheer survival. Despite this when June returns to Canada, Luke becomes increasingly aware that far from being merely a matter of necessity, this bond is actually something much, much more. He grows to understand that his wife’s view of him as a “complete” partner has been permanently changed and that he would actually never be enough for her. Luke epitomizes the country June left behind, a landscape she now finds alien and uncomfortably unfamiliar.
Tumblr media
Instead of grieving acceptance, we see June’s growing desperation and distress that the daughter she conceived in a once free country is now slowly being swallowed by Gilead’s maw. In the S4 bridge scene, Nick assures her that Hannah still loves and remembers her but it’s debatable as to whether this is true, or she is much like her country slowly falling under Gilead’s spell. Throughout S4 and 5 there are several moments that Nick and Hannah are mentioned, together they represent the figurative “reward” June will receive once Gilead is defeated. Lawrence flaunts Nick in an attempt to have June submit to Gilead but it’s nothing but Fools gold, for neither of them will be truly free.
Tumblr media
June is like a barometer, an indicator of the shifting winds of change. While she stays in Canada with Luke, the spirit of rebellion lies dormant, like the gun she buries in the snow. Lawrence observes that she is “losing her edge”, meanwhile Gilead grows in strength and the people she left behind are bent to its will. We see Hannah begin schooling to be a wife, Janine demonstrating a new level of compliance and Nick is swallowed by his surrounding influences, “groomed” by Lawrence to become a dutiful and brutal fledgling commander. These characters say a great deal about Gilead’s power structures. Hannah represents a new generation of believers, Janine; the walking manifestation of all the horrors Gilead visits on the Handmaids. Nick represents the next generation of the power structure, its ability to exercise will and force, he’s “a puppy” in training.
Tumblr media
As June breaks her bond with Luke and Canada, we see these influence of Gilead’s power begin to crumble. Hannah remembers her name and writes it down. Nick rejects his allegiance to Gilead completely, sacrificing everything for those he loves. And Janine refuses to comply with Aunt Lydia’s demands no matter what the cost. June’s relationship with both Luke and Nick are designed to signify two separate states of grace (passivity or rebellion) and as the season’s progress, and she develops her relationship with each counterpart, we see a distinct shift from one state to the other. The nature of the love she has for each is noticeably different too; her love for Nick is romantic, passionate and enduring, while Luke conjures feelings of devotion and commitment. Throughout S5 we watched June attempt to return to her “home” finding instead distant memories and simmering tension, which comes to a boil in ep10 as we hear her say “America wasn’t Gilead until it was. We have to run. Now.”
Tumblr media
In Ep 10, Luke bids June farewell, finally acknowledging her autonomy in the form of her maiden name. It signified a breaking of this bond with her former life and a return to her original state of independence. S5 Ep 10 is the metaphorical Tabula Rasa for all of these characters. Everything they have attempted to build is rubble, their homes are gone and they have been scattered to the wind. June tells Holly on the train “we’re going to a beautiful island”, Hawaii the recurring elusive destination of idyllic safety. But she is shortly confronted by Serena, promptly reminding her that the ghost of Gilead will follow her, no matter where she runs to. As Nick so succinctly says “they’ll keep coming for her….”
Tumblr media
Back soon with the second installment in our latest remix.
