Niall performing Save My Life | The Show Live On Tour in Auckland, New Zealand (April 26th, 2024)

EXACTLY

i don’t see enough people talking about the fact that tashi lost EVERYTHING. tennis was her only skill. tennis was her oxygen. tennis woke her up in the morning. she finds safety and control in art. she finds challenge in and lusts after patrick. but tashi is in LOVE with tennis and the dynamic of every aspect of it. to have your entire future painfully die before your eyes is enough to make anyone toxic. obviously i’m not excusing anything but it’s so important to discuss why tashi acts the way she does because there is SO MUCH history and layers there. she is as much as a person as art and patrick.

Niall Horan's reaction to a fan who asking him out!😭🤍 "Oh she's not gonna be happy" (looking at amelia)

[niallsdaya]

Art asking Tashi why be with Patrick if he’s not in love with her (because who wouldn’t be in love with her) and I’m sitting here like uh buddy the reason he’s not in love with her is because he’s in love with YOU

[niallsdaya]

art having all the athletic qualities that make him the husband (drive, will, humility) and patrick having all the athletic prowess that make him the mistress (talent, charm, ego), which of course means together they make the perfect doubles team

[niallsdaya]

reasons why the love triangle in challengers serves cunt:

it’s a real triangle

the hate and love and lust volley between the three of them the whole time at dizzying speeds.

sexual tension is so insanely off the charts you can feel it in your mouth

zendaya

each of them is deeply jealous of the other two, in ways personal or professional or both. tashi had her career cut short before its prime. while patrick and art are still known as tennis players she will never be. art’s whole life is an exercise in repression and he knows he’ll never have that chaotic, prodigal spark that tashi and patrick share. patrick’s ex best friend and ex girlfriend got married and rich together while he’s sleeping in his car. they’re all longing for what the others have.

ZENDAYA

tennis as sex my beloved

in an early sceenplay, when art and tashi hook up for the first time, he can’t get hard until she coaches him while jerking him off. in the movie, patrick tells the story of how he taught art how to masturbate for the first time. haters will say you can’t have cinematic parallels between scenes that were never technically filmed but they haven’t watched the version of this movie in my head

did i mention zendaya is there?!?!

[niallsdaya]

the way zendaya completely lived and breathed tashi in challengers is mind blowing. even in tashi’s coldest moments, her vulnerability and pain was shining through just the gaze of her eyes. the writing is really good at showing tashi’s backstory and why she ended up the way she does, but zendaya is able to portray such contrasting emotions all at the same time, all within the delivery of one line, all with one glance. i’m so fucking proud of her. tashi duncan character of all time!

[niallsdaya]

“art is just as bad” “art is a manipulative snake” i too would do anything to marry zendaya, he’s not evil, HE’S REAL‼️

[niallsdaya]

YES!!!!

me with them

if a character means enough to me i will truly never stop thinking about them. i just retire them into a little back room in my brain and periodically bring them out to stare at them under a little light
