This video paired up with the comments has me—💀💀

The dude bros thinking Eddie and V's relationship is brand new information like it hasn't been stated a million times in comics that they're practically married, and suddenly they wanna act shocked that they're becoming more of a couple much like their comic counterparts.

He's tryna say they're making Venom "gay" (Venom doesn't have a gender but okay) to "fit in" with inclusivity. Like. What. Hold up let's dive into these comments:

I especially love that last bit because uh, excuse me— "Straight white male" more like "white male that loves getting pegged by a symbiote"

And this?? So straight couples get all the screen time in the world, literally every show you turn on probably has a straight couple featured. But be damned if there's a same sex couple on screen. We're talking backlash for those who do in fact have same sex couples because every network tries to censor it to protect "the kids" but ma'am I was questioning my sexuality when I was 8, I wish I had representation they have nowadays! It would have helped me out so much growing up.

Last but not least Semen Spiderman sounds like an Adult Film parody and I'm all for it 💯😂

The Sun & The Moon

Mirage's first time sleeping next to Crypto was something to remember.

It was two in the morning.

Mirage, not being able to sleep had his eyes glued to the ceiling as Crypto slept facing towards him, curled up with one arm on Mirage's chest. Their bedroom colored silver by the light of the moon shining down upon them from the opened window curtains.

Crypto's breathing was light but irregular. 

Mirage turned his head to look at him, the moonlight glistening over Crypto, sculpting every feature on his face. Mirage sighed with admiration and took in the scenery, he thought Crypto looked absolutely perfect, like the moon only existed just for him.  

It was a great view up until he seen Crypto's eyebrows scrunch up, face twisting, Crypto suddenly shouted, jolting awake, looking around frantically with sheer panic in his eyes.

Memories of his dream flooded his mind. He could feel his heart pounding rapidly in his chest. The worst part about it was that the dream had actually happened.

But that was a long time ago.

This was a nightmare he could never escape from.

Mila. 

"Tae. A-are you okay?" Mirage asked. His eyes widened in concern when he saw the terrified look on Crypto's face. "Hey…" he said softly. "What's the matter?"

"Elliott.." Crypto could barely get the words out as he felt a lump form in his throat.

"Tae," Mirage murmured comfortingly, stroking Crypto's cheek, "It's okay, love."

Crypto nodded. He knew he could trust Elliott with anything, and trust wasn't easy to give out. They'd been through a lot together ever since their first encounter on the dropship, and a lot of things have changed.

But he'd never seen him cry.

Crypto had been holding in this guilt for years, letting the feeling of numbness consume him until he felt absolutely nothing, but this time he finally broke and just let the tears fall, unable to hold them back any longer.

"I should've," Crypto sobbed in a hushed tone, "I could've done more…"

Mirage wrapped his arm around Crypto, pulling him in closer, knowing no amount of words would be able to fix it.

Knowing no amount of words would bring his sister back. 

When Crypto seen the article, the article talking about his sister's blood curdling scream, he tortured himself with looking at it over and over again, unable to believe what he was reading. He stares at Mila's, frozen smiling face until he feels his heart in his throat and his chest feels too tight. 

"TaeJoon Park," he said, snapping Crypto back to reality. Mirage nuzzled his face in-between the other's neck. "I've got you. Always." 

Crypto grabbed Mirage by his chin, forcing him to make eye contact, he could see the mist glossing over Crypto's eyes.

"You say that now, but it terrifies me. What if they were to get you too?" Crypto says, "Like they did with…" his voice trails off, letting out a trembling sigh. "I always believed nothing would be able to hurt her, she was always so tough. I admired her so much growing up together, she could've taken on the world if she wanted..." 

His voice broke off, turning his face away from Mirage, the pain becoming too much to bare.

Suddenly Crypto could feel Mirage's hands moving over his hair, embracing his neck, drawing him even closer, "I love you with my entire being, and I will fight tooth and nail if anyone even tried to separate us," Mirage confided to him. "Besides, they can't get rid of a pretty face like this without it going unnoticed." 

Crypto couldn't help but let out a small chuckle, feeling Mirage wipe the hot tears running down his cheeks with his thumb. He knew he loved Mirage more than words could say.

"More like the most annoying," Crypto says, cupping a hand around Mirage's face. "You're lucky you got such a pretty face to get you by."

Mirage's lips curved into a devilish smile, "You using me for my looks?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

That smile. His smile. It had become Crypto's most favorite thing in the entire world, while admiring it, he became lost in thought:

Mirage, he was always like the sun, at least that's what Crypto believed.

Always shining annoyingly bright.

Mirage's bright and cheerful personality made him a lovable legend, true. But like the sun, you gaze at it too long and you'll realize the truth of a burning past. 

Crypto came to realize when he first met Mirage—you can shut out the sun for awhile, but it'll still be there waiting for you. He tried his best not to fall in love with the trickster, thinking a relationship was the last thing he needed.

But every time he pushed him away trying to distance himself, Mirage continued to give nothing but love, refusing to give up. He still continues to give light and warmth to those around him simply with a smile and a laugh, asking for nothing in return.

Crypto knew Mirage had such a big heart, the biggest heart of any person to ever live. It was his warmth that melted Crypto's then icy, calloused heart, which he believed it would be forever frozen up until he fell for that sunshine smile.

Now he'd risk a thousand sunburns if it meant being in Mirage's loving embrace.

Crypto smiled, his face softening. "I love you, Elliott." he said, bringing him into a gentle kiss. "Always."

[castor-comet]

Crypto: "The Syndicate is really dumb, they haven't found out my true identity yet. I could quite literally spell out my name for them in flashy colors and they still wouldn't figure it out."

Crypto: "....Hold my drink."

Mirage/Crypto VA dorks on Twitter:

Few things to note:

Calling each other "kid" and "old man" appears to be an inside joke between the two thanks to Respawn :')

Roger loves Crypto and the sound of his voice.

Johnny tweeting that Batman post with "Who knows, could be a thing?" Had me thinking like- "Cryptage? Who knows? Could be a thing."

The peacekeeper is officially the Cryptage gun™ you can't change my mind

>>❤️❤️❤️❤️<< the hearts

[castor-comet]

The Cryptage story so far:

When we first encounter this beautiful bromance, Mirage is talking about the recent events of the tower collapsing and the new planet. He admits that they needed a change of scenery, adding once he finds out who's responsible for the tower, he'd buy them a drink.

Gibraltar asks why he doesn't question the new guy, seeing as he's an excellent hacker— knows everything about everyone.

Mirage is quick to smile, making his way across the drop-ship he introduces himself to Crypto, calling him the second smartest guy in the Outlands— besides himself.

~Wink~

Despite Mirage's best attempt at befriending the hacker, he pushes boundaries by placing his hand on Crypto's shoulder, asking if he's hiding something.

It's revealed later on in a letter to Mystik that Crypto had thought Mirage knew he was the one that took down the tower, and was onto him. This act causes Crypto to pin him in an arm-lock in self-defense.

The other legends ceased whatever they were doing and gathered around the two thanks to the commotion they were causing, it was only until Gibraltar had laughed it off that the tension had dropped.

Crypto releases Mirage, shooting him a subtle grin, though Mirage is less than impressed.

As the countdown until drop starts, they all get assigned into their respective teams.

You could say they haven't started off on the best of terms, so seeing as he's paired with Crypto, he lets out a discouraged, "Seriously?"

Talk about luck, right?

As they descend from the lowering ramp, Mirage mocks Crypto by saying, "Hope you know how to count, kid."

Which causes Crypto to jab back with, "Try and keep up, old man."

It's an endearing moment when you think about their one year age difference, and the fact that Mirage is the younger one. But Mirage calls everyone kid, so hearing someone reply by calling him an old man is a first for him.

So naturally Mirage is surprised and taken back, he's about to give Crypto what appears to be the start of a dad-lecture but luckily Lifeline makes sure there isn't too much squabbling between the two before the match even starts.

Crypto takes on the challenge of stacking up the kill count, and the two get off to a competitive start.

As they get cornered inside of a building though, Mirage is shown downed and Lifeline is trying to help him back up. Crypto however is hiding behind a shelf in drone mode, seeing the damage being done to his squad.

Mirage states Crypto had better not mess up his stats or his hair, doubting Crypto's skill that he could take on a squad by himself.

However once Crypto has seen what he needed to, he leaves drone view and goes full beast mode with his wingman, his drone EMPing the remaining squad member.

Lifeline is impressed while Mirage is staring at him in complete utter shock and disbelief upon seeing what he had just witnessed. Crypto takes this opportunity to add to their scoreboard, "That's seven."

Cut to Mirage stealthily landing onto the train, he lines up his shot on Wraith and Pathfinder.

He smugly declares, "And here comes ten and eleven."

As he goes in for the double kill however, Crypto being not too far behind swoops in and steals the kills effortlessly. Mirage gets irritated, complaining that those kills were his. Crypto then aims his charge rifle at Mirage, giving him a wink.

"Woah, woah, woah, kid, it's me! It's the old man."

Mirage is alarmed and freaks out, frantically trying to convince Crypto not to shoot him.

Nonetheless Crypto fires his shot, hitting Caustic that was sneaking up behind Mirage.

Mirage looks behind him, seeing Caustic defeated. He turns back towards Crypto with yet another astonishing look.

They are instantly interrupted by Bangalore's Rolling Thunder, Crypto quickly runs towards Mirage, but Mirage is making no effort to move as he's still recovering from what just happened, but relieved he tells Crypto- "I thought you were gonna kill me."

It's only until Crypto reaches for his shoulder, turning him away from the incoming explosion, in which he bluntly says- "Don't be an idiot."

The explosion from the train causes the two to be launched from it, they stare at each other on the way down and Mirage takes the opportunity to declare, "I'm not an idiot!" before landing onto the snow below them.

Can we appreciate the fact that Crypto could have jumped off by himself, and saved his own skin. But Instead he ran across in order to save Mirage too. Mirage almost died in that explosion, if it weren't for Crypto going out of his way to push Mirage off the train, he probably would have.

There were instances in this match in which Mirage probably shouldn't have survived, but Crypto was there to save him. The time in the building, to the train explosion. Crypto even proving he wouldn't turn on Mirage when the Caustic situation happened.

He could have let Caustic kill Mirage, and not have said a word.

But he chose to protect him instead.

Crypto can say Mirage knows nothing, is an idiot, and talks too much all he wants. But at the end of the day he wouldn't do something to put Mirage in harm's way while being on the same team. Even though Mirage did nothing but tease him, doubt his skills, and got upset that he stole his kills- Crypto still looked out for him, never once turned his gun on him or threaten him in any manner.

So now let's talk about the simple cute lil details on some Mirage/Crypto—

Family means everything to both of them. But they've suffered loss. Tae Joon had lost his sister, and Elliott lost his brothers. But they both share a close bond with their mothers, keeping in contact whenever they can.

It's been revealed that Mirage is Mystik's favorite legend. How ironic, right? Elliott is someone that Tae could take home to his mom and she'd 100% approve.

Even before Crypto was officially added into the game, it didn't stop him from already hacking his way into the hearts of many by.... Hacking Mirage's face, covering it with his logo.

Crypto and Mirage have been seen being on the same team on multiple occasions, hinting at the possibility of a developing friendship if anything.

Mirage and Crypto have the 'opposites attract' relationship dynamic. Crypto is a rather serious and reserved individual, while Mirage is the carefree loving trickster, not taking anything too seriously.

Although complete opposites, they share a hobby such as working with tech, well sorta. Mirage isn't really tech savvy, in fact he had no clue what R.E.C meant. But he knows a hell of a lot about Holo tech. Seems like they can both teach each other thing or two.

Recently the two voice actors for the pair have been on each other's social media platforms in character, Johnny Young has even posted a picture wearing a Mirage sweater, and has added some quality Cryptage on his insta story a few times. It leaves fans wondering what's going on with Crypto and Mirage behind the scenes.

Whether you ship the two or not, you can't deny the developing bond Respawn has been cooking up for them, slowly but surely. The coincidences between these two at this point is unreal, I honestly believe they have something in the works for them.

A bromance or romance, either or, I just want them to be happy. Both of them are lonely boys that needs friends, what better way to start than each other.

[castor-comet]

Okay but imagine Crypto wearing Mirage's merch, and Mirage is so smug about it because it's like, "Yeah he's mine, back off."

Everytime he sees Crypto wearing that sweatshirt he gets the biggest smile, and can't help but gaze at him with complete and utter adoration.

[castor-comet]

[castor-comet]

I love how rather than jumping out of the way in attempt to doge the bullet he sees targeting him—

Mirage instead tries to reason with Crypto, going as far as bringing up his 'old man' nickname.
