My list of Queer books.

Now my labeling only has to do with the main protagonist, except for the books labeled "Queer" some of those the main protagonist is not Queer but the book has lots of Queer main and side characters. I only included the first books to make it easier but some of these are series.

The problem with making lists for books is that there's So. Goddamn. Many! New ones are being released every single day so all I can really do is add as I go. I also take recommendations so let me know of books I missed (specify what category they go in please 😊). I could also add specific Sexualities and Genders but right now I'm just doing basic categories because this is going to take time.

1.01 Woe Has Joined/Who Is Jane Doe

Rewatching the pilot for the billionth time and then I realized I had a platform to talk about it way too much.

Location Scouting Fun In NYC:

During our trip to NYC, we actually were able to find a lot of the locations from the pilot.

· Times Square – Obviously the coolest and most iconic. It’s fun no matter what, but we couldn’t believe it when we found the exact spot. And yes, we were dorks and placed a duffel bag on the ground and had all sorts of people staring at us.

· Chinatown – 399 White Street does not exist. However, we did find the location they filmed it at. And we again, were total dorks as we stood on the corner and took pictures and laughed and couldn’t believe our luck.

· Flatbush And Livingston – okay they didn’t actually show this (just mentioned), but we were there. By total accident. We were walking back to the hotel and it was on the way.

· Court Street Station (where they chased Chao) – It is NOT Court Street Station. They filmed it at Broad St Station, which is the end of the line, so I’m guessing easier for closing for filming and such.

· Statue of Liberty/Liberty Island – The stuff before they get on the island, yes that is filmed in Battery Park. The stuff on the island – not so much. That’s not the Statue Of Liberty. Makes sense that they wouldn’t close that and deal with film crews though.

In The Bag

My personal headcanon is that they assumed the bag would be found, and Jane still unconscious as they transported her to the hospital/FBI or wherever. I don’t think they actually planned for her to wake up in the middle of Times Square. But they didn’t know how the drugs or medicine would affect her, or how long it would take for them to notice it or whatever. But that’s what I think.

I also wonder how that would have affected the way she was treated…hmm…

I’m also really curious as to what Jane’s thoughts were as she woke up. Obviously, she’s drugged and confused and sore. But I just love thinking about what she’s thinking. She manages to open the bag, and then gets out and sees all the lights and the police yelling at her.

Jane

Man. She’s had a hellish first 48 hours hasn’t she?

I mean, first of all… she wakes up drugged, confused as hell, sore all over, scared. And it ends with a gunshot wound. So, not ideal for anyone.

But here’s the thing. This is when Jane is at her most vulnerable throughout the entire series. And yet she isn’t. We see it in these little moments when she’s alone, or it comes out some with Kurt (more on that later), but even still, she’s Jane. She’s got fight in her. In the interrogation room during the polygraph, you see her feeling confused and terrifed as she doesn’t know the answers. But she still has enough spunk to demand she stop being treated that way – to speak to someone in charge.

And then when she translates the address – she demands to go with them. And if they won’t take her with them, she’ll go on her own. She reluctantly stays in the car, but when Weller has to come out and get her – I love her expression there – she was right and she knew it.

At the Statue of Liberty – she gets shot. SHOT. This hurts like crap. Not from personal experience thankfully, but like Tasha said “there’s no such thing as a minor gunshot wound.” And yet Jane, instead of breaking down then, still encourages Kurt to go after Chao, and climbs up 354 steps to follow him. That’s like 20 flights of stairs.

This is why I love Jane Doe. Even at her most vulnerable, she is still so kick ass.

That said – the scene where she breaks down in front of the mirror, looking at the tattoos…. One of the most beautiful, emotional impact scenes ever. She doesn’t have to be strong, and she is alone and able to actually admit how scary and out of control this all feels.

Jane And Kurt

The beginning of it all.

In the interrogation room, he is the first person that we see treat her normally. Okay he isn’t like welcoming her with open arms or anything yet. But up until this point she’s been manhandled by police men, doctors, etc. Even Patterson, who treated her kindly, it’s not the same. Kurt walks in and talks with her. And she feels the difference. And when she wants to know if there’s a connection between them, she doesn’t just look at him, she reaches out and touches him. Touch is so strong between the two of them, and it starts in this moment.

And this moment, right here, is where Jane starts to break down Kurt’s walls. Because you can see him gesture, almost wanting to stop her from touching him. But he lets her.

When she nearly beats the guy to death in Chinatown, he takes her hands, he assures her it’s alright.

Then at the Statue Of Liberty… she breaks down in front of him. Which is a level of trust and intimacy already. It takes a lot to trust someone to break down in front of them. But he doesn’t even hesitate to go over there to comfort her. He only makes sure his gun is on Chao after he’s close to Jane. And he is the one to pull her closer. Jane doesn’t even seek him out. He goes closer, he pulls her in tight.

It’s only been two days, but these two feel something.

Related: “Jane.”

I’ve always loved the idea that Jane didn’t become Jane until Kurt said her name. In fact, the first person we hear refer to her as Jane – not as a Jane Doe, but treat it as if it’s her name – is Kurt. He calls her Jane without a second thought.

Yes, maybe the FBI did decide her name. Maybe some people think it’s weird, a placeholder, an unknown woman. But it doesn’t matter. Because once he said her name, that was it.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BEJx0sJhFYr/

Jane/Roman Comparisons

Comparing the fight in Chinatown to the fight in the restaurant.

Both felt threatened, and both only started fighting when their lives depended on it.

Both fought/would have fought to kill. Jane only stopped because Kurt stopped her. It’s nothing against Jane – in that moment she was on adrenaline and these two dudes had threatened her, and she wasn’t going to stop.

But what is different (at least to my memory, it’s been a while since I watched 2.10)

Jane is scared of what she’s done.

Roman just treats it as another day.

Related Jeller:

Which is why I love the scene where Kurt takes her hands and comforts her. She’s scared of herself. She looks at her hands and feels as if they betrayed her or something. They are as much of a weapon as anything else. And that instinct took over without her even knowing. And Weller sees that. He approaches her and he’s angry, but as soon as he sees she’s scared, he softens. He lets her know that it’s alright.

Randomness

Kurt took the files and pictures home with him that first night. Yet nothing ever become of that. And in 1.13 when Fischer is questioning Patterson, and she says “everyone takes it home” it’s not mentioned. This has bugged me. I think they are all guilty of it – even Reade and Tasha. Yes, Patterson did indirectly cause David to die and therefore, it’s different than Kurt, but you know what – Kurt also had a 9 year old living at his house. I’m just thinking like what if a picture fell and Sawyer found it and took it to school with him. It could have very easily happened.

The team dynamic in Kentucky shows just how cohesive of a unit they were before Jane, and helps explain why it’s a bit hard to adjust to her being in the field with them. These are a group of people who have been together in life or death situations and need to depend on each other. And that is very obvious. I think I really like how they showed this.

I’m curious as to why they didn’t immediately think of letting Jane translate. I know it’s related to the investigation, but it’s not classified. Jane had already helped translate both the tattoo and the video. They know she speaks the language. I know they didn’t hesitate once she offered; I’m just surprised she even had to ask I guess.

I have more thoughts (and 44 more episodes to go).

I just like talking about #Blindspot

HCs/Preconceptions

Tasha puts big bows and tiny sweaters on her sweet baby dogs.

Odin and Ogre sometimes eat better than Vanessa - especially post-DSR.

Tina learning the drums was a hard time in the Leverett family's lives -- mostly for sound dampening reasons.

1. Yes! Sometimes Tasha just wants them cute and the other half of that was just her wanting to see how they would react with clothes on.

Bonnie thinks it's ok while Blu loves them!

2. Yes, especially post-DSR. There were times when she didn't have the appetite.

3. YES! Oh my god yes! Vernon and Vanessa would still be mad at the family friend who taught her if she didn't enjoy herself.
