While Alex is obviously besotted with Cassie it is interesting that he, uh,

went on a whole-ass rant about how he’s somehow internalised an extremely conventional, heteronormative idea of what life should be like, wherein he’s expected to find a girl, get married and have kids as part of living ‘properly’, except he’s realised that lifestyle is impossible for him, partly because he’s infected with what he continually calls ‘magical AIDS’

My closeted bisexual alarm bells are ringing, is what I am saying

#THE COMPHET WRITES ITSELF #the HIV metaphor works much better this way #also that line about how his parents are scared he might bring a boy home? Wherever that was #the laundry files #charles stross #I’m pretty sure Evan speculates on Alex being autistic back in book 5 and he doesn’t seem aware of that either #So assuming I didn’t imagine that (lost my copy of Rhesus Chart) there’s…precedent #Probs won’t really show up much bc he’s with Cassie-First and I can’t imagine them getting enough page time #To have a Bob/Mo style potential breakup arc and other partners…or enough pagecount to discuss potential polyamory lol #but it might be interesting if he ever shows attention to a guy if/when we get his perspective again. That’d be cool #headcanon #bisexuality
