I don't think this is a question in the ask game but is there a detail of CC that you really, REALLY want to talk about and haven't yet?

IVE GOT ONE

leo mentions here that resting his hand on donnie's nape is something he did as a sign of comfort, essentially he's trusted to hold and hide away this vulnerable part of him

it's also mentioned as something he does in the flashback before the finale, pretty closely after a scene where april does it to him, and

he describes it as "familiar and nostalgic." he doesn't remember leo doing this for him at all because he's been cruel to him for so long. it's a very early sign of the memory issues he mentions in ch15

and speaking of which

it comes back around here.

#ask #canary continuity #i dont think its a motif anyone's mentioned before but its been shown a lot #and i THINK about it a lot #honestly it stems from the fact that like #at one point in i think 8th grade i was resting my head on my desk #and some kid grabbed the nape of my neck unprompted. just to be an asshole #and im afab. i have been groped and poked in really violating places before #but that was the most exposed vulnerable and violated i have EVER felt #from the touch of a stranger. it makes my animal brain freak out #it gives it some extra significance to me personally. its a really uncomfortable place to be grabbed!#it feels extremely vulnerable!!!
