Osbaline Week: Day 1
I didn’t realize it was Osblaine Week so sorry if I’m on the wrong day but I saw a bunch of different posts on my dash and wanted to join in:
The Moment That Made Me Ship.
I knew I was going to ship Osblaine before I shipped Osblaine. What I mean is, I am very big on gazes and stares and there were so many gazes passed between Nick and June that made me react to them because one word that you can use to describe Max and Lizzie’s chemistry unironically is: stirring. And every time they would look at each other, it was like Nick would simmer and something in June would stir and that was incredibly compelling to me but I didn’t really think too much about it because I was like, is this something I would be OK with shipping?
And then 1x06 happened. This scene happened:
Tumblr media
and I was done for because they had sex in 1x05, yes, it’s this release, it’s this passion put into action, it’s this enactment of agency and it awakens/reawakens something in June and Nick, that’s fantastic, but then it’s the next day, when they have to live with this thing that they’ve done and they have that stolen moment in the hallway and it’s just brimming with tension, with the agony of touching but not touching freely or as much as they want to plus the memory of the night before and then they abruptly have to part, the fact that that moment is stolen at all is indicative of why any intimate contact between them is dangerous.
Then later on, Nick has to go and get June because Fred wants to see her, which is another indicator of why any intimate contact between them is dangerous. But Nick just can’t help it, the danger is just not enough to keep him from touching her and being with her the way he wants to even for a moment so he presses her against the wall and they’re just simmering.
Tumblr media
And June knows this will make it more complicated, that being with him, being touched the way she wants, being wanted the way she wants, will make the horror of Fred even more intolerable
Tumblr media
but she just can’t walk away, she just can’t stop herself and they simultaneously save and torture themselves with this passionate, hungry, breathless kiss
Tumblr media Tumblr media
before she has to tear herself away from him.
Tumblr media
I absolutely live for that shit.
And i posted this the very night I watched it:
Tumblr media
thank you @colleenwing​ for the gifs!

Favourite Osblaine Scene There are so many moments to choose from that i found it difficult to choose my favourite. After much deliberation, i had to go back to basics. My absolute favourite Osblaine scene is the most erotic onscreen kiss between two people i have ever seen and i don't think it could ever be beaten or matched in my eyes
Tumblr media
The very first watch tore me to shreds and on every rewatch it still hits the same.
Two people trapped in a very dark world giving in to a desire they cannot escape. Everything about this kiss draws you in. Nick stopping June as she passes, pushing her up against the wall with an uncontrollable urge that only a kiss of this magnitude could portray. She's trying to resist- afraid to give into temptation. He pulls at her lip wanting to taste it. She says "It only makes it worse" ..which im sure it does.
Then it happens and the urgency, the desire, the want, bleeds from the screen. They sink right into it with hands going everywhere.
Tumblr media
June pulls at his hair wanting more, his hands on her face wanting all of her. She puts her hands in under his jacket trying to get closer to him. Even how it ends gives me shivers, June pulls away knowing it has to stop here she almost has to steady herself to walk away from him. Nick is left shook, wanting and needing more of her. The whole scene was captivating and mesmerising
Nick and June have given us many unbelievably tense, heartbreaking, beautiful, loving and hopeful moments over four seasons but this kiss in S1 E6 has embedded itself in my heart and mind forever. ❤

Osblaine Week 2021
Day 6
Nick appreciation
I think what I appreciate most of Nick is the fact that he’s the least misogynistic character in the show. I’ve said it many times before and I will die on this hill. The way he treats the women around him including Serena is telling. Makes me believe he was raised by a strong woman and that he was close to his mom and felt great love for her. There’s a sense of equality between him and the women he interacts with. He’s courteous and respectful. I also think this in part is because of what Max Minghella adds to the character.
If we analyze his and Beth’s relationship there’s an understanding. He cares for her even if it’s a physical relationship only. He likes to see her happy, there was a friendship there and he respected her (and June) enough to not continue sleeping with her when he started with June.
Tumblr media
When Serena is distraught when Holly leaves he gives her a cigarette. A small gesture thanking her maybe for letting his child go or acknowledging her pain.
Tumblr media
He was always kind to Rita.
Tumblr media
The Martha’s don’t fear him, they don’t see him as a threatening figure. They feel safe, comfortable.
Tumblr media
Eden was a little different as he was cold. But that’s a difficult scenario to maneuver in. He deeply regretted everything he felt he did wrong and would’ve given anything to take it back. Another mistake he feels he will have to pay for.
Now to June. The way he truly understands her. The way he feels he needs to protect her yet he doesn’t take away her choices, he doesn’t think for her, he doesn’t believe he knows what’s best for her. The way he loves her. The way he connected to her from the get go.
I think June gave him something he didn’t know he wanted or deserved. That was they key of his connection to her. He treats her like a person. He knows she’s a victim, she’s been damaged and hurt but he doesn’t tip toe around her. He is a victim of the same place but he knows she has it worse and again he feels he serves all that suffering.
Tumblr media
The way he handled the fact that he got her pregnant. No fear, no doubts, all in knowing the risk it was for him. She was valuable because she was pregnant. At any given time they could say he raped her and he would end on the wall.
His letting her go. Selfless. Not even trying to contact her after he knew she got to Canada. Knowing she was someone before Gilead. Respecting her life before. Not expecting to be part of her after. And looking out for Hannah. That is one of the biggest acts of love not many people do, because it hurts. And he would rather live with this pain because he feels he deserves it, knowing she’s happy and free.
I love this scene. Because I knew he was involved, because it’s so beautiful to me what he did for June, how he handled it and what it means. I love your fucked up cause you love my fucked up. Because he seems satisfied, just like he looked so proud of himself when he gave her Hannah’s file. Nick is closed off and detached, his never cocky or overly manly, but he isn’t a whimp either. I think this gesture here shows all of that. People say he could have saved June’s humanity by killing Fred himself. I think he knows June so well that he knows she’s still human, that killing Fred won’t take away from her spirit, won’t damage her. It’s actually quite the opposite and only a man like Nick understands that.

Headcannons Osblaine week
Nick would read every night on the stoop of his apartment to get the chance to get a glimpse of June through her window. This is how he saw her throwing up in the sink in 1 x 05 and immediately went to her.
When June asks him to "try" after their sex marathon, he does. Nick passes out from exhaustion after they both orgasm.
Rita knew they were together for a long time and caught June sneaking back into the house early one morning.
Nick had seen Serena turn in other guardians for disloyalty that were sentenced to death. That's why he agreed to have sex with June.
Holly was not conceived during the rape. She was conceived on the first night when June freely went to Nick.
There is no mention of Nick’s mom in the series. However, I believe that she died when Nick and Josh were teenagers. Her death made the family spiral into despair. Nick had to hold it all together for his dad and Josh.
Nick’s family growing up was lower middle class, so he didn’t eat a lot of fancy foods growing up. Nick hated tuna because his mom would always make tuna noodle casserole growing up.
Nick really wanted to tell June about his life from pre-Gilead and his involvement with SOJ when they were at the Globe. However, when he saw how entrenched she was in her research, he decided against it. His goal was to get her out and he didn’t want her last impressions of him to be negative.
June is secretly slightly happy that Nick is jealous when they go to Jezebels the second time. She is still pissed at him for breaking up with her.
Nick knew all along that the baby would be a girl. He imagined what a little baby June would look like.
And last one...
Tumblr media
June doesn't think about Luke at all when she masturbates. She only thinks about Nick.

Osblaine Week Day 1: Underrated Scene
Tumblr media
I wanted to shout out a scene that I don't think I've seen discussed much: in 3x03 "Useful", the meeting at Commander Lawrence's house (aka the first time Nick and June see each other since the Waterford's). It's not what immediately would come to mind as a classic moment between them: it's not exactly happy or romantic, they are in a room full of other people and not a word is spoken between them.  What it boils down to is really just a few facial expressions and physicality that just convey so much.
June is clearly taken aback seeing Nick there, and in a Commander uniform nonetheless, and her face belies such a complex array of emotions.  At first, I wasn't sure if Nick was surprised to see her there as well, but then I decided I don't think so: I think he 100% knew she was at Lawrence's, because I 100% believe he would have used his Eyes connections, black market/Martha network connections--whatever connections he had and could use--to make sure he knew where June was stationed next, even if he may believe things are over between them romantically.
Tumblr media
And the way he looks at her when she walks through the doorway. It's like he just cannot help himself from staring at her from across the room for several moments too long, even if he must have known she'd be there; her sheer presence just affects him that much. And you can see the exact moment he realizes he's obviously staring and silently chastises himself for it. The tension he radiates throughout the scene, it's like you can physically feel him holding back from constantly looking back up at her, like it's this magnetic pull he's barely resisting. The worry, when Lawrence plays his dangerous, humiliating little game with June. The last closeup, where it looks like he’s having to hold himself back from literally running after her. It's just such wonderfully nuanced acting and conveys Nick's feelings so beautifully without a single word.

OSBLAINE WEEK 2021 ↳ day 1: moment that made you ship
I want him. Shit. I wish it was more complicated, I wish there was some poetry to it. But there's just hunger. I'd forgotten this feeling, left it for dead. But my body remembers. What did they used to say, it's like riding a bicycle? That's right. God, I just want to climb on him and start pedalling. Luke would understand, I think. This wanting. I hope he would at least. Forgive me Luke for I am dripping.

Osblaine Week 2021 - Day 5 - Intimacy
I find it memorable that despite being in Gilead, June and Nick found moments to be intimate (beyond Nick's apartment). These are some of the moments where you can see this intimacy between them even when they are exposed. Intimacy is created by their connection, by their love, by their looks, by their touches, by that wordless expression of their feelings for each other.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
An intimacy that time, separation, and Gilead only strengthened.

Osblaine Week Day 6 - Nick Appreciation / June Appreciation
I could sit here all day and list the things I love about Nick and June individually.
With June, the thing I love the most about her is her strength and tenacity. This woman has truly lived through so so so many horrific circumstances, and I honestly don’t know how she’s still standing with any sanity left. I don’t agree with everything she does, but she’s doing the best she can in the worst of circumstances. She’s helped her fellow handmaids, she saved so many children and Martha’s, and she’s changed Gilead, as Nick tells Lawrence. She can’t just sit back and suffer and let the Serena’s and Fred’s of a Gilead keep abusing people, and she keeps risking her life to push back against evil. I recently rewatched episodes 7, 8, and 9 of S4, and my heart just shatters for her. She’s so alone, she’s so traumatized, she’s lost so much, but she keeps pushing on and fighting. I’m in awe of her.
Nick Blaine - I could write a novel on the things I love about him. My favorite thing about him is his selflessness. It’s rare for people to be as selfless as Nick in general, but it’s even more rare for a man in Gilead to be like him. He truly will do anything for June, and he’s proven it over and over and over again. He’s risked his life for her so many times, and he gives her his entire heart even though he knows she doesn’t belong to him and she can’t be his (or so he thinks). He IS the definition of selfless.
As a couple, my favorite thing about them and their ridiculously insane chemistry is how they can make even the little things - small touch, a look, a stolen moment - look so incredibly intimate and sexy. They can have an entire conversation with just a touch or a look. It’s why I’m just so captivated by them.
This hand brush from S2E8 is so small, but you can feel the electricity between them:
Tumblr media
This hand touch gives me butterflies. They both close their eyes during this touch and revel in the moment because the growing chemistry and feelings for each other is just pure fire. It’s overwhelming. It’s takes their breath away.
Tumblr media
This moment is so sweet. When they look at each other here, you can see that the rest of the world just falls away and it’s only them. They know their time together now is so precious, they so desperately want to be excited about their baby coming into the world, and they make the most of this stolen moment. Their magnetic pull is so strong that even when it’s risky and dangerous to look at each other, touch, talk, etc, even when others are present, they can’t resist each other. The risk is worth it to them. This one look holds so much love.
