Have you ever watched the devil wears Prada? There's something about machete that really reminds me of Miranda, and it really does make me think that a top position at a magazine or museum, or even as an academic would make a lot of sense in the modern!au. (Would be funny if he was an early modernist cultural/art historian or specialising in religious iconography from the canon period?)

Machete has been compared to Miranda a handful of times over the years, but I had never seen the movie until a couple of months ago. And now I kind of get what they might've meant by that.

#I've never had any particularly strong feelings about Meryl Streep but she was excellent here #she's a lot more compelling when she's allowed to be a little unlikable #answered #anonymous #Miranda is clearly on top of her game professionally she is treated as a force of nature #but behind the scenes her personal life is falling apart #I thought that was sort of similar to what I'm trying to do with Machete #I still haven't decided what he's supposed to do for a living I'm sorry #modern au #Miranda is more purposefully mean I'd say #Machete is strict and icy and hard to please to an intimidating degree but I like to think he's at least fair #he wouldn't bully his employees just - idk for fun? to assert authority?#in canon that's what his mentor was like and he's giving a valid effort at trying to avoid becoming like him
