SO.

I think I gave Quentin Coldwater's character a shitty read, until this episode and the fan reactions to it. Particularly this one https://medium.com/@greywash/on-fannishness-privilege-and-a-whole-other-grab-bag-of-entitled-millennial-bullshit-81ea4148a6d0

I thought of him as a whiney white dude, and I just didn't *get* it and I have spent some immediately after seeing this talking to a friend who is bi and has been suicidal and has been in a mental hospital for it and who loved Q way more than I did and whose preference for Q I found a perplexing blindspot in her otherwise good taste, but after reading this essay about Q's treatment in 413, I think I should honestly apologize, because I fucking did not see it, and failed, and that is on me.

Eh, considering it looks like the showrunners didn't see or get it either...

I *know*, but the thing is, I was catching up with this season with my friend who has depression and who adored Quentin as a character? so, while the show runners definitely fucked up, I had a Depression Interpreter watching a lot of the episodes with me, and I didn't get it, so. I do feel bad about not getting it until now.
