I think this would be a good time to watch the Framework episodes from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in regards to the next four years in the United States

Fitzsimmons 💔 || Marvels Agents of Shield || Season 4 Episode. 15

[narwhals-randomness]

Friendly reminder that Agents of SHIELD season 4 episode 16 is a perfect representation of our society.

HYDRA (the government) was breaking into schools and taking kids out. Inhuman kids. If that’s not a parallel, then I don’t know what is.

And there it is ladies and gentlemen, Agents of SHIELD predicted the future.

[unabashedllamamusic]

Agents of Shield women love calling their boyfriends by their last names. There were like two seasons where I totally forgot Fitz’s first name and I think that’s fantastic

[achingly-shy]

ALSO the end of the episode when jemma is telling fitz that he’s the real hero because he was beside her the whole damn time in the lab and was giving her hope when she had none and then she kisses his cheek and walks away and he sits there smiling and then that smile slowly turns into more of a thinking contemplating oh shit face AND THEN HE KNOWS HE NEVER GOT OVER IT HE NEVER GOT OVER HER

[rainintheevening]

"And by 'us', you don't mean me."

Gosh dang it, Grant, you got me sobbing. HE'S WILLING TO LET DAISY GO. HE'S WILLING TO LAY DOWN HIS LIFE TO LET A VERSION OF THE WOMAN HE LOVES LEAVE HIM BEHIND. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

There was a little good in him all along, there was just no one who understood how desperately he needed help to keep it alive. I am Emotional, okay??

[yellow-yellow-jacket]

let me yap about the framework arc. please let me yap about the framework arc-

[nogoodninny]

It’s so terrible how conditioned Fitz was from Aida and the Framework. But May’s programming wasn’t conditioned out of her, which made her meeting framework Coulson so fucking funny

Coulson: SNAP OUT OF IT MAY

May: *protect Coulson senses tingling* what the fuck?

[snapewives-supremacy]

so, their name is Skye, and she has a DAISY earphone case… Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D fans, what does this mean??? is this a sign?? am i just a loser who sees fictional characters in everyone???

Opinion on Ward?

DUDEEEE

Ward is just so. He's so complicated and extremely well written, I love the way they do him

With that being said, I also hate his guts

But to go more in depth, I think I can understand a lot of his motivations. He was hardly raised in a good household, his family was genuinely awful, so I do get how he saw Garrett as a father figure. As he says himself, he was never loyal to HYDRA, just Garrett. I also think that, had he not known what he was getting into, I could have more sympathy for him

He was very much groomed, but the way Ward stans often put it is that he had no idea and that he was full on brainwashed, which is not true. Ward knew what HYDRA was, if he didn't at the start he certainly did later on, and he chose to stay with them. Keep in mind that not once was Ward threatened if he left HYDRA-- the only person they could hurt was himself bc he hated his family, and he didn't care about what happened to him. He was perfectly safe the whole time

It's also really telling how almost every other AoS character had a dysfunctional household and didn't turn out like him. Coulson's dad died when he was young, May's parents were divorced, Fitz's dad walked out on him and his mom, Daisy, dear god we don't have time to get into that... it really becomes a question of nature vs nurture, how Ward might've been a good person had Garrett not been the one leading him (as we see in the Framework)

I think where my sympathy for him ends is around the start of season 2. We see that he's held by S.H.I.E.L.D. to give them information, so one would think that he's using this to kinda redeem himself, yeah? NOPE

The only time he gives information is when Skye is there bc he's obsessed with her, and constantly leaves out important tidbits that usually fuck over the team. He doesn't show regret for any of his actions, especially with Fitz, and still believes he did the right thing (throwing him into the ocean and giving him a brain injury. Yeah nice job) bc the alternative was a bullet. When he works with them again towards the end of the season, he completely ignores all their concerns and acts that they're a team again, like all he did was just a minor oopsie. My guy, YOU HURT ALL OF THEM!! STFU

And then, of course, after he accidently kills Kara, he repeats the same cycle and blames S.H.I.E.L.D. for her death, going further and further into HYDRA. This is something that Ward stans tend to leave out-- they always say how he never had a good life and that Garrett was his one concern, but they never mention how he literally started up HYDRA again long after he was gone. They never mention how he tortured Bobbi even though Kara herself didn't want that to happen to her. They constantly woob-ify and baby Ward as though he's not a full-grown adult who knows what he's doing

Oh, and for the record, HYDRA are Nazis. They're fucking Nazis. Idc if they "predated" them, they were always fascist and were more than happy to align themselves with them when they rolled around. There's a reason the writers chose to make the HYDRA-controlled Framework a parallel to 1930s Germany. HYDRA ARE NAZIS

So. I suppose I can sympathize with him to an extent and I understand why he does certain actions. But Grant Ward is an adult who was never in any risk at any point with HYDRA, and the fact that he chose to stay with them speaks to his character and how he really is as a person

[secretsandlabrats]

I’m getting closer to the Framework episodes which I’m in between excited and absolutely nervous about because I’ve heard so much chat surrounding it and, I’m at the point where I thought the show originally had finished. Here we go into a whole new area for me to watch. 🫡

I might be emotional so that’s a little warning for everybody reading my posts because I might be crying, wait will I be crying? Wait, actually no, don’t tell me I’ll have to find that out! 🫣

[marvelsgirl616]

forever my favorite skimmons moment. this episode was so well written and lil, chloe and ian did such an amazing job 😭💔

[tiredgatt0]

Was looking through my gallery and I found a photo of some fanart I made months ago

[cosmicqvake]

Jemma’s sass towards Ward in the Framework is truly unmatched. She gives no fucks as she keeps subtly (and not so subtly) jabbing at him left and right. She experiences genuine visceral disgust when she finds out him and Daisy woke up together (“this isn’t the Framework, this is HELL”). Girl was done before even entering the Framework, but as soon as she saw that mf’s face, you can see the last shred of sanity leave her body lmao

[belannaswlonkderfulworm]

something something the story of ophelia and aida naming herself ophelia and jemma killing fitzs dad and fitz going (somewhat) mad
