Lots of people have been quite rightly pointing out the context that if Colin comes out he would be the only out footballer in the premier league or indeed any major football league.

But hardly anyone has been talking about the fact that Nate would be the only person of colour to be a manger in the premier league*. And as far as I’m aware there’s never been a manger with South Asian heritage in the prem.

You can’t view his character arc without considering race at all, he’s massively disadvantaged compared to the millionaire white ex-footballers who typically become managers, and what he’s doing a West Ham is a ground breaking moment for diversity in the league.

I’m not defending some of his actions. It’s just if you’re willing to excuse Collin’s bullying of Nate because he wanted to fit in with the toxic masculine locker room culture pre-Ted in order to avoid being outed, then you have to concede that Nate’s actions at least in part stem from the fact that people of his race (and class) don’t get opportunities at the elite level.

will and lyra crossing the gate and leaving their own worlds at the same time... one chasing the father that loved him, one chasing the father that betrayed her.... will following a cat the representation of his future daemon and lyra clutching pantalaimon... walking into the unknown, they dont even know each other yet but taking this journey together nonetheless..

will and lyra closing the gate between their worlds one last time never to see each other again the rest of their lives because its more romantic to live for love than to die for it. no matter where they go and what they do and who they meet they go back to the same bench for one hour every year to sit next to each other, a breath apart and a world away, never having proof that the other is there but believing all the same.
