Seriously though I sometimes feel like we should like, transfer this to LJ messages/email or something. BUT maybe there's someone out there who is enjoying reading our epic comment thread and we'd be depriving them of our insanity. TOTALLY POSSIBLE.
I am so glad you love Nathan, like I cannot even tell you, because I am sort of fascinated and half in love with his character and IT'S SO WRONG but I can't help it. It's not like I fall in love with serial killer characters all the time but the writers made him so sympathetic, right?? I mean, and all his insecurities and the way he's convinced everyone must hate him as much as he hates himself - it all just makes me want to hug him. I'd be so interested to write about the development of his urges, too. Like, a fic from his POV entirely would be so interesting. Remember how he said in his evaluation with Gideon that he killed a bird when he was younger? And about how the first naked woman he saw was a cadaver - and even that was sort of sympathetic, because like, he was a young boy probably just starting to get sexual urges in the first place, and the first naked woman he sees is DEAD? Obviously that's going to mess him up. It's not his fault. GAHHH NATHAN.
*adds Alpha Dog to epic list of movies to watch/re-watch* I don't know if there's any fic but THERE PROBABLY SHOULD BE.
Lolol I love the idea of MGG suggesting actors he wants to work with all the time, like he did with Amber Heard and then he was like "...shit, does she think I just recommended her for the part so we could make out?" I like to think MGG is like, constantly badgering the casting directors, just suggesting people he has crushes on.
Nathan wishing things could be normal and they could just go on a regular date. ;_; MY HEART. How adorable would it be if he tried that, if he just tried to ask Reid out? And Reid would just be like "Nathan...it can't be like this. You know that, right?" and he'd just be so heartbroken because he DOES know, but he wishes it could be different.
RIGHT? Continuing with the possible taking-clips-from-this-episode-out-of-context theme, here, have this pointless gif of Nathan leading Reid into his bedroom:
I just love the way he looks back around at him, a little nervously. And I also sort of love the idea of Reid coming round to Nathan's house - like I always imagine stuff with them happening at Reid's, but can you imagine if their relationship started out more slowly and they were just friends for a long time and Reid was checking up on Nathan when he got out of the hospital, coming round for dinner with Nathan and his Mum? And his Mum thinks it's a little weird that Nathan's friends with someone quite a bit older, but she knows he's always been so smart and mature and she's just glad he has a friend really. And she feels comforted by it because of Reid's job. And so then after dinner they go into Nathan's room and Nathan shows Reid all his graphic novels and stuff like kids sharing interests after school or whatever. WHY IS THAT SO CUTE?? WHY IS THERE ANOTHER WHOLE SCENARIO TO CONSIDER THERE? Godddd.
