Oh my god thank you so much for that reply! That was absolutely brilliant and verbalised everything that had been perlocating in my brain about them, it's really so brilliant that the show basically sprung an incredibly compelling dynamic between 2 charcaters who've barely interacted and who have lots of awkward tension between them, and had one of the series' most tender moments happen between them in its last episodes (Nora/Erica is also a relationship I like to fill the gaps in in my head) I just finished the show so I'm full of thoughts and the fandom is nonexistent so thank you for being so kind

nora + the women she has this bond with = best most interesting dynamics on the show. the way nora and erika also have to go through a period of intense hatred before they're willing to accept each other. the way erika was the only person nora told about her tattoo and breaking her arm. like its so serious. i think nora's instinctive reaction to other people's loss is anger, because she automatically believes its a competition of who has lost more. once she's able to see past that there's a level of intimacy she experiences with both erika and laurie, trusting them with her ugly and destructive truths...
