Peter: "I never told you this, but when Nathan had his accident, I knew it."

Angela: "We all got the same call."

Peter: "No, I'm saying before the call - like he was telling me, three hundred miles away. I woke up and I knew that he'd been hurt."

Happy Pride Month with a little shitpost for Heroes and what they SHOULD NEVER SAY TO SOMEONE WHO JUST CAME OUT.

peter and sylar and implications

Hi, this is the op from the Heroes text post. I always think of it like this: Nathan, being a politician, having that power in and of itself, while also him having the ability to fly. Making him the "one of them." He has people with abilities captured, rounded up, put into places to cure them, etc.

WHILE also being someone with abilities.

That says to me in this world right now. He would be some gay republican politician.

Getting legislation out there that puts Queer people in direct harm. And being a massive hypocrite about it. The older i got from when i first watched the show, to this day, am more aware politically and am myself Queer. So its always interesting still being heavily into something since u were little and now being able to rly understand it. (I was 10 when it aired in 2006)

I only got into Heroes a few years ago, and I think your interpretation of Nathan as the equivalent of a gay Republican is accurate, as well as popular (at least in the tumblr side of the fandom.) Many see Nathan as being literally a queer presumably-right-wing politician on top of being one in a metaphorical sense.

Honestly, the interpretation I want to push more is that Peter’s a moron, a possibility-codependent idiot. “He’s never let me down!” No, Nathan’s only thrown Peter under the bus by claiming he’s mentally disturbed in front of the press, sabotaged his efforts to find out how to save the world by ruining the painting, worked with the people who were chasing Claire, and consistently demonstrated disinterest in using policy to protect those with powers. But that’s not “letting Peter down!” (He also once punched Peter in the face for cheating on a chemistry test in the comics, but who’s counting?)

Either way, I definitely agree that it’s real interesting to come back to media you didn’t fully understand as a child and be able to see the nuances and add your own insights.

Heroes cast. Milo in black and in white.🤍🖤

Look at our cutie wearing a white short sleeved t-shirt 🤍 Those sneakers clearly not his judging by how clean they look 😅 and then wearing all black, so handsome and mysterious 🖤

Moving Kdrama & Heroes

Both are based on characters with super human abilities! Many are common between the characters from the two shows. As the show moves on and more is revealed I will update the post. But here are the parallels from the first 7 episodes.

1. Ability : Regeneration

2. Ability : Flight

3. Ability : Super Strength

4. Ability: Enhanced Hearing

5. Ability : Electricity Generation

Moments Between the Madness - Chapter 9 ("The Tomb of Innocence")

"After a while it got easier to believe. To forget what I was doing until it just didn't matter anymore. But I don't want to forget. I don't want to be like him.” It was only when he turned his head and found the hero still watching him with that honest, earnest, undivided attention the way he always did, the way no one else ever had, that Sylar discovered why his secrets were spilling out of him of their own volition. Because Peter was listening to him. “Don't let me forget, Peter.”

This one's a pretty emotional chapter from start to finish - I hope all the feels make up for having to wait so long to read it! Enjoy <3

(tw: childhood abandonment, minor mention of self harm, romance)

I really liked the post from here where nathan was called a typical gay republican, and I went further and thought about nathan, a gay republican, whos every second ons looks kiiinda like peter...

[petrellicest]

headcannon: when peter was like 3/4 and wanted to play with nathan, they would play ‘jail’ which mainly consisted of peter being locked inside his room with a baby gate while nathan was on the other side of the door doing homework.

little peter: Can I have food?

teenage nathan: *furiously working on his advanced geometry assignment* Prisoners can’t talk Pete, that’s another five years added on to your sentence.

little peter: Okay :)

This is hilarious and you're so right, I'm immediately incorporating this into my world view
