Quillective. I know I'm annoying tonight. IDC. Listen.

So.. We know that Gary had a "Love at First Sight" ideal of Quinn when he met her, and that he ran into Mooncake and immediately took him in.

But like... It just occurred to me that Quinn and Mooncake learned everything that Gary wanted to say to another person at the same time when they bundled up and watched his transmissions together.

Quinn and Mooncake had bonding over Gary time and this the first time I'm mentioning it, but it'll be in my brain forever. Thank you for your time, Friends.

OKAY. Do you know that in a show about space and cosmos, it never even occurred to me to consider any of this via the will of the Universe or the work of it, at least. Honestly, I don’t think that I have seen anybody ever mention this concept. Outside of waxing poetic within the series about being meant to be, etc

But, imagining the show through the lens of the Universe being an entity making movements to manifest things is actually kinda dope and I want us to get back to it whenever we’re both awake! 

Now... I don’t know if I fully accept the notion of Quinn having any type of attraction to Gary offhand, for a few reasons. Firstly, whatever has happened in their timeline to have Gary not in the Infinity Guard, I believe was likely a change enough to reformat her personality. (His certainly was). I think that she wasn’t interested in him, because she wasn’t interested in some random dude who wasn’t in the Guard AND that she was distracted by the work that she was trying to do.

THIS Quinn, after having seen her mom, I believe that she’s been given less love than Nightfall probably was in her timeline, and I don’t think that Quinn values that type of connection. She’s most concerned with duty. And as far as the loop, I actually think that Nightfall was in the loop and she broke her loop whenever she sacrificed herself. Because, unlike in Simon and Alisha’s situation, Simon already knew how this timeline was turning out. Nightfall didn’t. Whenever she said that it had never been her to sacrifice herself before, it was always Gary before, but this timeline it was Quinn - I think that was an indication to her that this timeline might be different. 

It had already changed for them, in that Quinn sacrificed herself for Gary, instead. Nightfall’s death (in this theory), would be the end of her loop and the timeline with the others would go on in a direction where she would not appear again (unlike Simon, who returns exactly to that timeline to be with Alisha before he dies. 

Quinn is being called “Nightfall” because she has the implant... but she’s already not that same Nightfall. That Nightfall, like you said, already had a totally different universe with a different Gary. This Quinn * can’t become THAT Nightfall, even if she begins to use that name, and even if in the future, she goes back in timeto try to prevent things again... She would be returning to her own time. SHE’D be the Simon character, but Nightfall wasn’t, as she traveled to a different Gary and Quinn altogether. She was more like Spock Prime in the Star Trek reboot.

Damn, I love having somebody my age that also has all the same references to pull from for conversations. I have always valued you SO MUCH for these facts.

STILL, I say all that to say this - I don’t believe that this version of Quinn was initially attracted to Gary. The fact that she IS a genius and didn’t even remember him, had trouble learning his name, and took time even warming up to him in the least bit - she’s not one to play games, so I think she genuinely just did NOT think anything of him at all. HOWEVER, I DO believe that the watching the video logs was what turned her around. 

She was able to see the humanity that he had whenever he didn’t have a soul to occupy his time. She was able to have the time to analyze his words and movements and presentation. I think that THIS is where she saw him for the first time. THIS is where she felt something, and I don’t even think it was necessarily even attraction so much as she read from the transmissions and from H.U.E.’s attachment to this human that maybe Gary was actually worth standing beside. She seemed to get her conviction when she watched his apology and she had an emotional reaction (You could see it in her eyes) which she quickly pulled herself together and went into action to make the steps to work together. 

I’ll get more into that in my BFCD Review that you and primarily you ever reads.

But, this scene, while being important for everything we’ve said here, I love the added angle of Mooncake ALSO seeing more in Gary. He was on his side from the jump. The moment that Gary immediately loved him and wasn’t trying to use him for anything, like others that he’s run into on his journey. And then here they were... Sitting here together, the only two in the series that Gary saw and decided that they were going to be a part of his life. 

One could argue that the same happened with Avocato, but technically, he just wanted somebody to play cards with and the official “bond” didn’t form for him until the handshake. Which... Gary, in true Gary fashion OF COURSE cared more about that bond than Avocato initially did, but yadda yadda yadda - Quinn and Mooncake were the ones that Gary looked at, immediately felt something, and in that absolutely over dramatic and unreasonable way *decided* he was going to have them in his world.

And here they are, sitting closely, watching him bare it all. I would even venture to say that technically, this means she bonded with Mooncake before she even did Gary. Our asses bond over fiction all the time! So, in this universe, I damn sure see and believe these two bonded over Gary’s truth. Now, she didn’t just jump in full dingle as soon as she felt something, but that was where it began, and I just think it’s lovely that his two people that he took one look at and knew that he had feelings got to share that kind of moment with each other as they watched his logs.

YES! I know her. She popped in pretty much right when I discovered the show some months back! We had similar situations with our fandom experiences with our favorite characters at the time. Mine was in Infinity Train.

But, whenever I first said I was gonna watch FS, I had a few homies that were like I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE GONNA BE THERE, because I kinda... I don't have a better word to use... VOCAL. That's actually a good one. I'm kinda vocal about things and characters, and the girls kinda lean on me sometimes for stuff like, "Hey Girl, Hey... This is what I think, but people are saying this," and then I just speak my mind whenever on whatever.

I don't even make fandoms fun. People just know I'm gonna go on and on about things. 😂

You know what? I was just tagging folk that I actually know, but mentally, I definitely clocked you as a Quinn fan! I don't be that "in" the fandom. Thanks for the gif!

That's one of my favorite images, def my favorite of the two of them together.
