#it means something

[regina-del-cielo]

Maybe it's a 'study finds water is wet' type of thought, but

considering it's an action movie whose overall plot is "immortal warriors Fuck Shit Up™️", I think it's significant that in The Old Guard the thing that makes Copley pull red strings through his Murder Conspiracy Board and say "[Merrick] doesn't care what [Andy]'s done with [her immortality]" is the people they save, not the ones they kill

Most of the Conspiracy Board is him circling random newspaper headlines and faces on old photographs to (more or less realistically) follow the immortals' treck through the world and big historical events. Which is, in-canon, not much different than putting portraits from different centuries next to a picture of Keanu Reeves and saying "they look the same, clearly Reeves is an immortal!"

But then there are the connections. A little girl holding Joe's hand in WW1 becoming the youngest (and first) woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize for Medicine (suck it, Kozak). Or the grandchild of a family that Andy saved from [something] helping people escape from the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia.

They are warriors. They have fought and been in the midst of countless wars, major or minor, throughout history. They must have killed as many people as they saved... and yet.

It's not them taking out a random warlord or dictator or rabidly hateful politician that has tangible repercussions in history. It's the children and families they get out of war zones, save from accidents, protect from natural disasters. People to whom they give a second chance at life, and grow to change the world (or even just their own world), like a mysterious stranger once changed theirs just by holding out a hand or patching a wound.

I don't know I just think it's particularly neat

It fascinates me to no end that the first shot we see of Knives, he's standing and playing at the piano (and this is the only time we see him standing, not sitting on a bench, while playing), and on our last shot of Vash... he's standing at a piano and attempting to play.

i think what blue eye samurai did really fucking well is that mizu was told all her life that she's just a demon and can never be anything else so you know ofc she can't immediately accept any love her way or that shhe can be something pure or good

but then she gets to hear "you can be two things"

"you are strongest impure and imperfect"

and that's what she can accept

that maybe you have a demon inside you, okay, so alright, it's not all you are, it doesn't have to steal all the seats, take your place next to it

So, Stan was hiding in the women’s room in the pool episode

This means something. Idk if it’s just Stan being weird or if it got to do with his gender (I personally love trans Stan and non binary Stan), I just found this interesting

Not to be an absolute sad sack but batman telling his bi son "I'm proud of you" in explicit straightforward terms does mean a lot to me.

Ok question WHY is nobody talking about how Aziraphell tried to miracle Nina and Maggy in the book shop to forget and they just didn’t respond to the miracle ?? ??

Idk just saw it through like my 5th rewatch lol

i just think it's neat that a lot of people consider the kitchen to be the 'heart' of a home and we've had multiple buddie scenes taking place in the kitchen and all these other heart metaphors and—

Remember when agents of shield was like it could have gone differently it could have, in the moment, been easier or better, but ultimately if it had things would have been worse

Something about writers choice of the word stick in 5x2 and 6x11 when both Buck and Eddie were talking about their significant choises in life. Eddie were going to "stick it out" with Ana. He were going to continue relationship no matter that he is clearly not in love with her. Continue to try to make Chris and his parents happy, but not himself

And Buck "can't stick around for this" talking about Maddie and Doug when his dream turned nightmare. He knew it's not his life, but before that it was something he could stay for. But Buck still could stay in his dream. Stay in a world where he can have parents who loves him, sees him. In a world where he can fix everything, but yes it still means trying to make others happy and not himself

Both of them tho still chose to not to stick for lives like that. Buck woke up from coma , Eddie broke up with Ana. Does it mean that soon they would stop stick for being just friends? Or more importantly stick for this shield which let them not open boxes with their real feelings even for just themselves? Because if buddie actually would become canon I believe for both of them it would be hard to change friendship to romantic relationship, to stop sticking for half the things they could have together and let them go together for more

@rmd-writes appreciation post for one of the most complex and nuanced arcs we have developed in our shared Google doc:

When you see something beautiful in others, tell them. It may take seconds to say, but for them, it could last a lifetime.
