i prefer divorce and cheating to putting characters that make no sense together in a polycule tbh

saw a tiktok that was making good points except it was like "if you're over 23 you shouldn't even know anyone under 20 unless they're family and it's weird if you do" and I just. have you guys ever had coworkers. students. family friends. clubs. is no one going back to school for their BA/MA/PhD. what kind of isolated world are you living in where as a 23+ year old you never interact w anyone under the age of 20. this idea that even Talking to anyone younger than you is somehow predatory is absolutely insane god I hate western individualism so bad. no your best friend ever probably shouldn't be a teenager when you're a grown ass adult but we do in fact need to be in community w people younger than us

This is honestly my favorite Boblena edit so far because I did it with one of my favorite songs ever.

Hurt by Nine Inch Nails is a Bob song for sure because of his drugs addiction and everything that goes with it, but correspond too at the loneliness and depression Yelena is going throught.

i honestly think that acknowledging that yelena and bob's dynamic is the heart of the movie and has a romantic framing and seeing just how profoundly romantic it is does the movie infinitely more justice bc it's actually very challenging to accomplish that level of evocative and symbolic romantic storytelling while remaining tasteful and subtle.

they did not just find the answer through each other, they found the answer in each other. the answer that was visually presented throughout the movie when yelena caught bob from falling with her web, when she tied bob to her torso, when their necks were were tightly tied together---they stay and stick together.

and the credits song "nothing's gonna stop us now" by starship really speaks to boblena's whole story in the movie!

"all that i need is you

all that i ever need

and all that i want to do is hold you forever

forever and ever"

Still driving me crazy how Thunderbolts is LITERALLY Yelena's movie, and by extension Bob's--their connection is absolutely central to the film, none of which works without it. They are the fulcrum on which the entire movie spins, and I don't care how you view it, platonic or romantic (though obviously I have my bias and there were a lot of scenes that were extremely romance-coded, also I haven't truly won since Pepperony [and look how that turned out], I deserve this, I've earned it, Marvel owes me, but ANYWAY), their relationship is the emotional core of the film. Yelena is unquestionably Bob's most important person, and it was her instant connection with and affection and feeling for Bob that helped Yelena find her own light in the dark so that she could become his.

It's no accident that she opened the film talking about the void. That she was lost, adrift, passively suicidal--not in the sense that she was actively trying to kill herself, or even necessarily wanting to die, but that she couldn't figure out what the point was, why she should bother waking up every day when she had no purpose and all she could see was the dark. And then she heard Bob say the very same thing, when he finished a sentence she was letting hang because she'd just realized how it would sound to someone else--and then he says it, and she looks up at him, and she sees a sense of understanding that terrifies her. Because she sees the same thing in his eyes that she's been feeling for so long she'd almost forgotten what it was like to come up for air.

"You guys should just go without me, it'll be easier." "Oh, no, you'll die down here." And she laughs, like she thinks he's joking, like obviously he doesn't really wanna just be left behind, haha, funny to joke about but it's not true. "Well, whatever." And he's laughing too, but it's kind of hollow, listless, like he's already given up. He knows he's a lost cause. "I think everyone's better off if I just stay put." He doesn't want anyone risking their lives just for him. He doesn't deserve it. And she's looking at him, and seeing this play out across his face, his sad, resigned little smile as he so blithely brushes off the thought of his death and shrugs and says whatever like it's nothing, like he's nothing.

And I think, in that moment, Yelena realizes she can't lose him. She has to save him, leaving him behind is not an option--she's lost so much, too much, she can't stand to lose anyone else. And her purpose becomes him--the others too, by extension, but Bob is the one she literally ties herself to so she can make sure he stays behind her, so she can keep him safe.

And then when she lets him out of her sight, he slips out of the back of the van and she watches as he gets himself killed. For them. For her.

Which he somehow manages to miraculously survive, only to wind back up in Valentina's clutches, and Yelena is the one constantly bringing up Bob's name and talking about him and how they have to get him back--because she found her own light in the dark and it's whatever she felt for him, that purpose she suddenly had, a reason to keep breathing, to keep getting up day after day. At the beginning of the film, she'd told Valentina she wanted to do more--be front-facing, be a hero. But I don't think it hit her that she could, that it was what she truly needed, until she met Bob. Until she had someone to protect. Someone to save.

And it's just--gods, they dance around this, they orbit each other for the entire movie! Bob's first words when he wakes up after the vault are to ask for Yelena. It's her who comes closest to knowing him--Sentry tries to deny it, but when he becomes void, it's Yelena who can get through to him. Who willingly walks into the darkness. Who lights the way for Bob to climb back out.

The others, too, they are a family and this movie gave us what was promised by the first Avengers but never really delivered on (and I'm praying the MCU doesn't drop the ball here again)--but it's Yelena who takes that first step. Who finds Bob in the dark. Who gets to him, who holds him and tells him he's not alone. He'll never be alone again, not if she has anything to say about it.

"We stick together from now on." And she means it, with every fiber of her being. And that's the thesis statement for the entire fucking movie. It doesn't work without them at the core. They are the movie's heart and it makes me so goddamn emotional. I haven't been this excited by a Marvel movie in YEARS and I just. I need the MCU not to blow it, please please please.

Watching Buffy for the first time and this shit slaps so hard. Bad guy vampires just resurrected a big, ugly blue demon called 'The Judge' who reportedly 'can't be killed by any weapon forged' and stupid me was like "Oh, I bet she'll light him on fire or kill him with her hands or something of that nature." No. Rocket launcher. Launched a rocket at him and he fucking died. Awesome.
