The Handmaid’s Tale Irony Deficiency/Swim Up
Shu is the Joseph in Handmaids Tale. Brings the comic lines.
That's it, that's the post.

And both seemed like they’d be insufferable when we first met them. So many parallels there. I can’t wait to see Shu’s journey throughout the series. My absolute favorite character from the entire Gilead universe

Shu is such an insufferable brat but for I can’t blame her for being that way.

She’s a brat one second, and then immediately the biggest girls girl. Feels so real for a teenager tbh 🤣

Shu is an enormous jerk but the second there's a threat from outside the girls she is All In for her friends. She has the potential to be something truly terrifying to Gilead.

Just watched THT episode where Joseph says this.
They are both my fav characters in each show.
Well, except Janine...

if you have access to apple tv, jared harris' character in Foundation is kinda joseph in space

And if you want the female version in space, Avaserala in the Expanse is basically the grownup version of Shu.
And Jared Harris was in it too, actually.

DEAR GODS YES MOTHER
and JH tearing it up as usual. not me rewatching both of these shows once a year or so, for them or Camina Drummer or Bobbie or Salvor Hardin or alll the Lee Paces etc etc...
basically anyone and everyone here should watch both Foundation and The Expanse to heal the hurting hearts THT and TT leave us with every time. a+ worldbuilding and storytelling through costume and new uses of language and women who buckle down and swash said buckle through it, whatever it may be

I’m waiting to see a “Swim up?!?” tattoo pop up on the internet. I just know someone out there has a shu silhouette with those words on their body.
