Carry On my Wayward Daughter Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Madeline is up!

Reminder that the first two chapters deal with rape and the aftermath of rape. If you are uncomfortable with this, you do not need to read them to understand the story.

The Kiss: a pop culture-based analysis

The collective uproar about the kiss made me think about why it was there.

Plot:

In order to slip her the pin, it serves as a distraction — a classic move any heist/action lover would have seen coming. James Bond has done it, Person of Interest too; a kiss distracts the antagonists just long enough to do it.

But could it be done another way?

Yes. A hug, like Jake slipping Judy the key in Brooklyn Nine Nine. Or violence, like Hotch kicking Reed with the gun-holstering leg.

Thus, plot is one side of the coin. The other, I propose, is emotional

Romance in Friendship:

Can your romantic partner be your (best) friend? Easily, and that's a mark of a success relationship. The other side is, can romance seep into friendship?

I would argue that many genuine friendships have romantic elements that are left purposefully unexplored. They have the same building blocks, after all. Love and affection. Caring and worrying. elements of jealousy. Our heteronormative, romance-centered culture has claimed all that constitutes a deep bond as romantic. It has delineated the type of touch, as if our human need for tactile connection can be measured, neatly packaged and labeled.

Elrond loves Galadriel. Loves her so much he doesn't hold back when he's at odds with her. Enough to seethe with anger when he believes she strayed, and hold off an entire army at the sight of a drop of blood on her neck.

The entire season has been built on their fundamental disagreement on how to fight darkness, so this moment of unresolved closeness hits hard.

The framing of the scene, the closeup as well as the swelling of the music aid in creating an emotional moment.

It reminds of Nikita, where before the s2 big battle where it's likely they'll die, Birkhoff kisses Nikita goodbye, in front of her boyfriend no less. It's a good kiss, but the intent is clear, and no one is mad. Treat yourselves (x).

Body Language:

As another post explained (better than I could), physical touch varies across cultures, and we can’t always interpret everything through a Western lens where kissing equals romance.

The Celebrian of it all:

We cannot impose our knowledge of the Third Age onto RoP. Yes, Elrond will eventually marry Celebrian, but she doesn’t exist right now. He’s not seeing Galadriel as his future mother-in-law but as his friend. Is kissing her really weirder than holding back because he somehow senses he’ll marry her unborn daughter? I rest my case.

The reception:

After the initial shock, people don't think it's that weird, or at least they see its purpose (according to the poll I made and the part of twitter I haven't blocked). Trolls have blown it out of proportion, as expected, but I'm glad we're having more nuanced conversations here.

Conclusion:

I'm happy RoP is giving us another relationship dynamic, they're not afraid to push the characters emotionally. The scene hit harder with a kiss and it punctuated the doomed feeling of the narrative. Our emotional response is the very proof that it succeeded.

how would you personally rank nikita ships?

Ahhh, you know how much I love Nikita ships, thank you so much for asking me!💞💞 I can talk about the relationships on this show for hours!

I will make a list for romantic ships and all ships in general, because there are so many complex and interesting and well written dynamics on this show!

Romantic ships:

1. Michael x Nikita (poetic, dramatic, devoted, everything for each other, love over duty, partners in crime and ride or die for each other and love of a lifetime kind of relationship)

2. Birkhoff x Sonya (actual soulmates, speak each other's language type of relationship)

All ships:

1. Michael x Nikita

2. Nikita x Alex (sisters, besties, family, all of it)

3. Nikita x Birkhoff (friends and each other's biggest fans)

4. Michael x Alex (older protective brother and supportive sister dynamic)

5. Nikita x Amanda (so complex and so important!)

6. Nikita x Kelly (would have loved to see more of them)

7. Alex x Birkhoff (besties!!!)

8. Nikita x Owen (specifically Owen, friendship against all odds!)

9. Michael x Owen (that duo was comedic excellence)

This show gave a new meaning to found family and partners in crime so there are so many more dynamics I absolutely adore but these are the ones off the top of my head!🥰
