the physical marks helly leaves on helena in s1—the gash in her arm, the raw flesh around her neck, raw skin from washing off her coded message. picking at her eyelashes. helena having to lick her wounds. helena wrapping her hand around the bruises on her neck. oughh

the dynamic is that imark likes holding food up for helena to eat like toast and pastries bc its a weird control thing that drives them both crazy. omark likes sticking his fingers in helly's mouth and she enjoys biting down on them

I am genuinely curious, why do you headcanon Travis as transfem? I’ve seen that opinion going around and I was hoping someone could explain why they think that exactly.

so travis starts out the show wearing what i would call a poorly crafted mask of toxic masculinity. he’s mean to his brother, he makes misogynistic comments to the girls, he asserts himself as a provider and tries to handle dangerous weaponry without proper training. he does this out of self-preservation — he was bullied as a kid and had an incredibly strained relationship with his father, both of which are implied to be the result of not being perceived as masculine enough. but even when travis tries, he’s not good at being masculine: he’s not the best hunter, he can’t perform sexually unless intoxicated, he fits horribly into the messed up paternal role he tries to take on for javi. then, he’s assaulted. his brother runs away. and he realizes that this role he’s crafted for himself, this mask he’s been putting on to protect himself doesn’t have any significance out there. so he switches it up. he becomes docile, meek, submissive. travis’s presentation of femininity is, similar to his presentation of masculinity, a tool used for self-preservation. but unlike his presentation of masculinity, travis slips into the role with ease. it’s a trauma response, but it’s a trauma response he’s comfortable in, it’s a part he’s good at playing — which is what makes him so fascinating, and what, more specifically, makes the transfem read such an interesting one. travis is basically being forcefemmed by the wilderness through having traumatic experiences that are primarily associated with women, particularly sexual ones. so, yeah, that’s why i headcanon travis as transfem. i think whether you think he would’ve been more comfortable in femininity and girlhood outside of the wilderness is another question (i, personally, think he would have), but the important thing about his arc is that, while it inarguably happens through him experiencing sexual trauma, by the third season, travis doesn’t see himself as a man anymore, and the girls don’t see him as one either. he’s just travis, he’s just one of them. so i don’t think from a viewer’s perspective it makes sense to view him as one either.

(another big part of this is the way he’s paralleled with shauna and the way he interacts with the concept of menstruation, but i wasn’t able to neatly fit that into this explanation and i also have another post specifically about it, which you can read here! there is also “my favorite thoughts are jackie’s”, which… i just don’t know how else to interpret, quite frankly.)

Connor goes after Roman. Shiv looks at Kendall. After a beat he smiles at her, they share a naughty shared smile of the higher-status siblings.
