‘jesus, you’re tight,’ i say as i try to cram another goddamn book onto my bookshelf

This scene perfectly illustrates how different they are, even though they’re literally identical and staring at each other in a mirror. What even, Tatiana.
I love that the character described as ‘sensual’ (and whose style indeed suggests someone very in touch with and who embraces their sexuality) is also described as the ‘geek’/’nerd’ in the same sentence.
Cosima is viewed as a sexy character and that takes nothing away from her intelligence. And her intelligence only adds to her sex appeal.
There’s no dichotomy between sexy and smart. Neither attribute is compromised. They only complement each other, and neither define Cosima alone. She’s far more complex than that.
