I’m not joking btw. The further I get in this rewatch the more I go, oh, no happy ending for Dean would revolve around romance! That’s not something he wants! He’s let that go as he’s found things more fulfilling to him, or allowed what was already there to finally cement itself as a permanent part of his life (ie his relationship with Sam.)

"I appreciate the sentiment and all but..."
"...couldn't you have packed pins or something?"
"But you LIKE scarves!"

imo i don't feel like we should be using a scene of sexual harrassment to determine whether a character is pretty; the level of objectification & entitlement strange men display towards cam and nona in ntn is actually really scary
absolutely agree and i also acknowledge that part of why that scene gets (imho) misinterpreted is because nona herself recalls that moment as proof that shes pretty. more specifically, because he called her pretty, not because he wanted to have sex with her. she at that moment is fairly unbothered by the fact this man wants to have sex with her, so its easy for the reader to also feel unbothered by it.
but also, i think that nona's responses to sex and sexual advances are not always the same throughout the text. the moment in question is towards the beginning of the novel and takes place "after Nona could talk, but before she started making herself a useful member of society". But later, nona says she doesn't like it when cam wears the sunglasses because it make her look like the hired guns that whistle at her and camilla. In a scene between crown and nona:
“Maybe you could be the one to melt her icy heart. You’re cute... on your best days, adorable. But I’m not sure you’re her type.”
Nona flushed. Suddenly being treated as an adult made her feel out of her depth, like when a wave knocked her off a sandbar and her feet went out from beneath her. She didn’t know what to say or how to act, and floundered toward the shallows: “She’s not your type either,” she said.
Plus, towards the end (once nona learns what the word 'pimp' means), she gets actively annoyed whenever honesty calls pyrrha a pimp.
Anyway! this was a long-winded answer to a very straightforward ask. tl;dr, I think sometimes folks take nona's neutral reaction to that sexual advance as proof everything was perfectly safe which doesn't acknowledge the real danger in that moment, and that nonas perception and understanding of the world around her continues to evolve over the course of the novel.

You know what, maybe I will add White Collar to the list of fandoms I want to write for in the future, because Neal Caffrey makes me want to gnaw on the bars of my enclosure

ohhh it's one of those nights where my love for the world is painful to bear.. it's a strange way to feel when everywhere I look there is concentrated pain, the state of the world, all over the world.. but my dog is so beautiful and the books I'm reading so full of time and attention, and the act of writing anything at all, of language, so intricate and woven with love.. I'm having a moment here 😅
