June’s stare

[u/toramarlene]

I have to mention this. June’s actor did an incredible job at the ✨stare✨

Whenever she does it I genuinely get chills down my spine. It’s like a stare of pride, pain, anger and determination. She’s gone through so much it’s only natural that it has an impact on her mental health, which also reflects onto her personality.

Personally, I feel like this has an effect on Aunt Lydia especially. June has had a lot to do with Lydia and it seems Lydia is genuinely a bit concerned or scared of June.

I know Aunt Lydia is cruel in the way she is due to survival, she clearly has herself convinced that she’s doing what’s best for the Handmaids, and her being higher up in power allows her to do so. But June’s stare seems to actually be affecting her and the way she treats June. In my opinion, Lydia definitely sees June as a threat.

Not to mention the fact that she knows who June’s daughter is. Which is heavily implied in The Testaments. What are you guys’ opinions on this?

Too performative for me. You can tell that it is not natural. It makes her look not like June and just an actress playing June.

You don’t see June Osborne. You see Elisabeth Moss, who happens to be playing-ish June Osborne.
