Female. Old. Drifting through life on my world-class ability to procrastinate. Slimmed down to basically just BoB these days, but old fandoms/obsessions do still pop up in a cyclical manner
I love this moment so much because it also shows Dick 'Mr. Perfect/Captain America' Winters is human after all. Just prior to this moment he's supervising the retreat under fire of his company. In control, eyes fixed on the horizon, monitoring, ready to act and leading from the front...and then all of a sudden Nix gets hit.
And Dick dives towards him, presumably ready to give emergency first aid etc but we quickly see that he's flailing, falling, he's stuttering his words out. He's understandably shocked, his movements nervous, mouth hanging open, panting in fear and disbelief. Nix is quick to move off to safety as the adrenaline kicks in but Dick is slow to follow him, left to scurry after him.
You can't help but feel if it were any other trooper he would have been calm, reassuring, quick to assess, and moving the trooper to behind cover as soon as possible...but not with Nix. In that moment Dick's in freefall, grasping for something to hang on to. So he hangs on to Nix, and hangs on for dear life.
"quit looking at me like that" moment but with a hyper focus on dick's hand behind nixon's neck, his other hand gripping nixon's arm, and his eyes looking over nixon to make extra sure he's ok
The sluttiest thing a man can do is care too much about his friends and lose any semblance of survival instinct. Dick's unbridled anger and concern? Hot. Him cutting off Sink to call for Spiers? Sexy. His pissy face? GOD. IN. HEAVEN. Dick almost losing all absolute fucking control over himself? So sexy. Honestly, Dick's tendency to never want to delegate? So. Fucking. Hot.
I am so down bad, like I get it, Nix. Also the terror on Lew's face here knowing Dick could definitely cross that field. Go get yo, man. I can't tell you how many times I replayed this scene in a single sitting. CHRIST.
i'm conducting an experiment. everyone who's from an english speaking country state your country, regional area and what you call the following images. i need to see something
Ok but if anyone is going to come at me ever again and tell me collies are not the most intelligent breed of dog then I will show them this post.
And fine, yes, I should declare a conflict of interest in that I come from a family that has always only ever had collies. However this doesn't change the FACT that they are the most intelligent.
I've seen this edit before and always loved it because it heals my heart on the 'Ron/Damian=not best friends' front. I mean I know they're not close and all, I've come to terms with that lol, but their chemistry is so insane that it always just makes me so sad they're not close. Yet, even though they didn't go on to be best buds, to know they had little moments like this in the downtime between scenes when shooting BoB just fills my heart with joy.
Does anyone, by any chance, have a better version of this one?
I just read this and it is STUNNING. I love Greek mythology anyway, but tying it together with Winnix is just...urgh *chef's kiss*
Thank you so much to the authors (@heystovepipeboys and @batmanschmatman), this was an absolute delight to read. So beautifully written! I can't wait to read more of your work!
