Extended Scene From Balance

Apologies for the logo in the center. I have no idea how to get rid of it, but at least it’s small.

Pretty sure this scene is supposed to be cute and light-hearted and that I’m reading too much into it, BUT I’M GOING TO READ FUCKING MILES INTO IT because it’s magnificent and cements my idea that Nasir will turn out to be the voice of reason at some points in Season 3. 

Things that are happening in this scene:

• Nasir being simultaneously compassionate, reasonable and incredibly naive. 
• Nasir, love, I know you lived among Romans all your life, but I’m pretty sure you’ve never met anyone like Ilithyia, because there is no one like Ilithyia. There is only Ilithyia. 
• However, at this point, what he sees is a pregnant, frightened woman who’s being held prisoner for purposes that aren’t entirely clear. So his reaction to that is compassion/reason. I LOVE YOU NASIR HAVE I MENTIONED THAT TODAY?
• Testament to this series gr10 writing, and in the fine tradition of Agron getting the stink-eye whenever he points out morally uncomfortable truths: Agron is also right and reasonable.
• He knows Ilithyia better than Nasir, and while he has never directly been a victim of her plots, he can draw conclusions based on other people’s unfortunate experiences. Are you taking notes, Sparty?
• I’m now convinced Lucius was killed off for the exact same reason as Mira. If these two plus Nasir had banded together to form the Rebel Camp Zero Bullshit Tolerance Society, season 3 would have had like, 1.5 episodes, and 90% of that would be about people packing their bags. 
• On a lighter note: ‘A familiar song bleated from your fucking tongue…’ LOOK ALEX MORE LIVESTOCK REFERENCES. 
• Nasir laughing. Can we talk about Nasir laughing? Because Nasir laughing is a tiny and delightful detail that actually speaks volumes about his character. It’s (a) completely spontaneous and he cuts himself short when Agron glares at him; and (b) actually in response to Agron being ridiculed.
• Which I find insanely awesome, not because he’s laughing at his lover being ridiculed, but because he’s finally comfortable enough in his most intimate relationship to do that. Spontaneously. He’s in a place right now where he doesn’t constantly need to check his reactions and doesn’t have reasons to seriously fear their consequences. Freedom’s not all about the absence of chains. And they got this through in under 5 seconds and with only a tiny laugh. A++ writing/acting WHY ARE PEOPLE NOT THROWING ALL THE AWARDS AT YOU
• Agron proves him absolutely right on that account. Because his reaction is to glare a bit, then sort of pout, then go ‘Well, I guess he’s old and sentimental.’
• And the thing with Agron is, from the start, this relationship has been about him learning bit by bit to control himself. From Nasir’s ‘So your bro died because you turned on the Romans’ (which lbr, under those circumstances was a fully intentional low blow) to this, he’s gradually learned that the world does not exist for the sole purpose of provoking him. He’s learned that there are more than two categories of people out there and they are not ‘With me’ and ‘Against me’. Someone who loves him deeply can and will defy him openly if they think he’s wrong, and it doesn’t mean they love him any less. 
• The point I’m trying to make: someone, I don’t remember who, wrote an excellent post a while ago about how Naevia and Crixus’ relationship is so lovely because they bring out the best in eachother, despite all the drama they’ve gone through. It’s no less true of Agron and Nasir, but because they are basically drama-free and so friggin’ happy all the time, it’s more difficult to see. Nasir has learned that freedom doesn’t mean being passed from one master to another, as he’d thought at the beginning, that he can can make his own choices and he will not suffer unfairly for them. He’s learned not to be afraid. Agron has learned to be less aggressive and angry, and how to cope with grief. I think he’s done a fair bit of actual growing up since he met Nasir.
• I love them so much.
• Deer gawd, I wrote a book. 

TL;DR This is my favourite Agron/Nasir scene. It beats the kissing and the background cuddling and the almost wall-sex and the ‘fucking Syrians’ and I’m not sorry. 

^^^^THIS^^^^(not sure if my fav scene but awesome nonetheless, gonna re-watch and rewatch again)

And That’s why I love so much NAGRON and NAGRON FAMILY.

Sooo much going on  with Nagron in this scene..and ALL WAS SAID..Love my NAGRON FAMILY!

Why has it taken me so long to see this? This is amazing, and I fully agree with the post above me. Agron and Nasir have wonderful chemistry as a couple and they each manage to teach the other how to be a better person. I adore this wonderful, beautiful, canon couple, and this is one of the main reasons why they are my OTP.

“Agron, who’s just a big “I want to kill everyone in my path” [person] suddenly becomes a puppy dog around Nasir.”

“And the rebels are out in the world. They’re meeting new people and they don’t kill all of them. Some of them they make sweet, sweet love.”

Steven DeKnight (SD Comic Con 2011)

I love how the sweet, sweet love turned into lipbiting and cockteasing against a wall ….
