Eventually man, too, found his way back to the sea. Standing on its shores, he must have looked out upon it with wonder and curiosity, compounded with an unconscious recognition of his lineage. He could not physically re-enter the ocean as the seals and whales had done. But over the centuries, with all the skill and ingenuity and reasoning powers of his mind, he has sought to explore and investigate even its most remote parts, so that he might re-enter it mentally and imaginatively.
This will probably be part 1 bc inevitably once I post this you will all remind me of equally amazing/ insane stuff I forgot
Edit! I put it in my tags but I’ll add it here too bc this is taking off a bit 😂 - I didn’t put the Tower Skill linking scene bc I thought it would be too easy and I wanted all the other pairings to have an equal shot!!!
I think the fact that Carson hasn't picked up on anyone's queerness has less to do with gaydar and more to do with the fact that se thinks she's the only person in the world that feels like she does. She's grown up not even knowing that being gay is possible until she meets Greta, who seems like the most amazing person on the planet because she feels The Same as Carson does. It would never occur to Carson that anyone else is gay because she's always felt isolated in her attraction to women and I think the show does a good job of showing how hard it is to break yourself of the feeling that you are alone and broken and weird for being gay. There's a reason that the shot of her realizing she's in a gay bar starts with a tight shot of her, jess, and lupe and then widens to include other people.

Most of us walk unseeing through the world, unaware alike of its beauties, its wonders, and the strange and sometimes terrible intensity of the lives that are being lived about us.
