Need to put my Morgan's Boy (the novelization) thoughts somewhere or I might explode—

I remember when I just started to read and was enraptured by the intricate yet stark contrast between Morgan and Val. Val and Lee are very careful with each other, there's an unspoken etiquette that keeps them both safe, but also puts a distance between them that's hard to breach. Morgan wears his heart on his sleeve; it's disarming and awkward, esp if you're used to deflecting emotions for fear of them affecting you. It's such a cool thing, and it's done without either of them having to be the punchline. They're both so valid.

Generally impressed by the women in a book that's primarily about men. Val's writing is so powerful. Also love how Louise is both a cruel, childish person and a very believable 19yo girl with a heap of issues. There's something subtly dismissive in the way she's treated, which adds depth and reasoning to what she does to Morgan & Lee.

*points at the nuanced discussions of patriarchy, class, and colonial legacy, cries ugly tears* something something men are beautiful and loving and capable of greatness but patriarchy is cruel and unjust and oppressive and. Seriously, it's so intelligent. One of the reasons I have to stop every other page (hence taking 3 months to finish reading). I'm gonna incorporate this book into my personality so hard.

Speaking of patriarchy, Matthew is my precious son and I'm eager to see more of him (half-way through the book rn). Sometimes it's cool that being gay isn't like a Big Deal in a story but sometimes it is a big deal and that's ok. Can he and Lee kiss. I know they won't but it'd be cute.

Gregorys are so fucked up I wanna study them under a microscope. Prolly the least rounded members of the main cast, but so entertaining in just their sheer depravity. Like ma'am why are you being inappropriate around teenagers. Why is your house falling apart. Why are you British.

Picked up a bunch of Welsh words (mostly terms of endearment) for a semi-related fic and just feeling low-key emotional over the parallels I find with the erasure of the Jewish culture. I guess everything ends but nothing does. I guess a nation can never really be erased. I guess we do just go on and persevere no matter what. It's so real man.

It somehow escaped me until chapter 5 that Morgan's last name is Thomas? Idk what the sequence of events was with writing the script, but if it is an addition made for Gareth Thomas' benefit, that's super sweet. I can see why this role became so important to him. Besides all the personal history involved, it also feels very fitting for his acting style, I bet it was a joy to play.
