I love all the backstory behind Che. His motorbike travels, his fierce rugby playing, the backstory behind how he got the nickname Che. Feel like me and him would be good mates.

Lol, I even like that he has asthma cos I can be like ayy same.

      That story makes me uncomfortable ngl.

      Like, she went to assassinate him and couldn't bring herself to pull the trigger, he could justifiably have her imprisoned or killed at that point, but instead he decides he wants to fuck her. I just can't see that scenario being consensual. Like yeah she's a CIA assassin, maybe I shouldn't feel bad for her, but it still just feels gross to play it as "damn Fidel was such a chad for fucking her".

        that’s not really the story. they were lovers already and later she was recruited to kill him, and then he caught her and gave her his gun to do it, and then they had sex instead

          I hadn't heard it told that way before, them already having an established relationship makes it less dicey I think.

      I believe I'm remembering this right too, but in one of Che's diary entries, he discusses a man who was going to kill Fidel, but needed to sleep next to him for warmth, and the guy never ended up trying to shoot him too.
