#james Bond and Madeleine Swann

Forever mad about how SPECTRE told us Madeleine was this super smart woman who had a doctorate and all this experience as a psychologist working at the best most elite places in the world, and then failed to SHOW her being a skilled therapist.

So I am retreating to the comfort of my own headcanon wherein she signs on to work at MI6 after the events of SPECTRE, and she and Q become besties who bond over being former child prodigies who advanced through their education super-fast and got a doctorate at a young age and a plum position with a great employer, but had to fight for respect and acceptance at every rung of the ladder. 🤝 They're smart, but often don't get taken seriously because they're too young/female/queer/whatever. 🤝 And they are now ride-or-die for each other. 🤝

I want Q and Madeleine meeting up for lunch dates to discuss Smart People Things and helping each other edit their latest articles for academic journals or practicing on each other for speeches they need to give in front of a committee! I want them having Very Intense Opinions on controversial subjects on their field! I want them having Longstanding Beef with academic rivals in their field and cattily talking shit about their Rivals during their private lunches!

And of course, just as critically, I want being Bond utterly distraught that these two have a whole entire relationship where they talk about things that Aren't Related To Him. Bond feels uncomfortable when we are not about him????

"James, MI6 did its damnedest to intentionally, systematically strip you of your ability to form lasting attachments to other people. You adapted to the conditioning, which is how you survived. But now, you have to decide if you want to undo that conditioning.”

One Dress a Day Challenge

September: Bond Films

No Time to Die / Léa Seydoux as Madeleine Swann

Over the course of surveying several movies by now, I'm struck by how often "Bond girls" wear white, especially for day wear. Here's a simple but effective example from No Time to Die: a button-front dress by Spanish designer Massimo Dutti, made of soft ribbed material (knit?). As designed, the dress comes with a belt, but Madeleine doesn't wear it. With the white dress, Madeleine wears white Castañer Chiarita Espadrilles wedge sandals and carries a Tod's Double T Bucket Bag Mini purse. I didn't spot any jewelry.

White is a bit of a signature color for the character, as she also wore white in the previous film, Spectre. In this particular scene, it has the effect of making her look angelic and wronged when Bond accuses her of betraying him.

Although this film was released in 2021, it was filmed in 2019, so I'm filing it under 2010s fashion.

what he says: i’m fine (i don’t know her at all)

what he means: i do know that for what felt like five minutes of my life i wanted everything with you. and it's not because i didn't trust... it was just that feeling. i know i've come here to find out who gave you the poison but i'm not going to leave here without you knowing that i have loved you. and i will love you. and i do not regret a single moment of my life that led me to you... except when i put you on that train.

feeling totally normal and sane about this btw

Firsts and Lasts

Love is awful. It's awful. It's painful. It's frightening... And love isn’t something that weak people do. Being a romantic takes a hell of a lot of hope. When you find somebody that you love, it feels like hope.
