The Matrix and Nihilism

Agent Smith and Neo Philosophy:

Honestly, “Everything that has a beginning has an end” and “the purpose of life is to end” while they are banger villain lines…they’re not wrong?

Like genuinely I think it’s wild— without getting too into religious themes— the idea that we’re created intentionally with a “higher purpose” in mind. Like nah we live, and we die, or in Smith’s terms- we begin and we end. But I think what’s interesting about the dynamic between Smith and Neo is that Neo is a foil to Smith’s character in such a way that like, they have the same ideas but with different outcomes to it:

Agent Smith sees the two “important points” of life as a start and finish but Neo sees the most important part of life as everything that you do in between to make the most out of it— the choices that are made while you are in the state of being alive and being human.

In a way, it’s like the concepts of yin and yang, or glass half full versus glass half empty. The human part of smith (which I mean as his mind/coding adapts as his self awareness increases which is shown towards the end of the first film in interrogation with Morpheus) is nihilistic in a way that forms hatred and pessimism, and a need to fix the problem of not having a purpose by becoming godlike or becoming consumed by orders and desires that foster the same disgust

but Neo (being his human self) seems almost nihilistic in a way that forms optimism instead: sure there’s no higher purpose but that doesn’t stop people from making and wanting choices and creating their own purpose and meaning in every day things. I just think it’s neat.

i just discovered these two photos the other day. They’re making me feel emotions that don’t exist

[gallamy]

It’s interesting how Smith is represented in M2 with crows.

Historically crows have represented intelligence, adaptability, and transformation but also death and the afterlife.

I feel that encapsulates him as a character pretty well, though the adaptation seems to be lacking a bit because of his code.

Crow symbolism has also oscillated between light and darkness, life and death, wisdom and curse. This seems to mirror Neo and Smith.

Smith has also been associated heavily with rain.

Rain, unsurprisingly, has often symbolized cleansing, renewal, and spiritual growth. It can represent the washing away of negativity, the start of something new, or a divine blessing.

With rain, comes Smith, and his death brings renewal, a blessing, growth. He’s just the unfortunate collateral.

Agents in a Snowball Fight --- > (Headcanons) ☃️ ❄️

Smith

Smith HATES the snow…

…and also doesn't really hate it? Let me explain.

He doesn’t like how it causes roads and highways to be blocked off, electricity to go out, for office life to slow down, etc.

He thinks it’s gross when he sees how the cold can cause humans' noses to get all snotty

He hates the baggage it brings, it gives him a headache.

So, if you ask him if he liked it, he’d say no.

“It gets in my way.”

However, he has his secrets, cause that’s not the full truth.

He’d gladly peer out his office window to look at the white blanket coating the city. From afar, it looks very pretty to him.

He also likes it because when he’s chasing people who have broken from the Matrix, there’s a high chance they won’t fully pay attention to their surroundings and slip while running.

“You shouldn’t run when it’s icy,” he’d taunt.

He wouldn’t bring up the idea of a snowball fight, that would be like, the last thing on his mind

If you somehow managed to get him outside his office’s building, you’d have to try hard to get in a sneak attack. This guy has seen a lot, coming to expect it at this point, especially from you.

“You’ll have to do better than that.”

They could potentially work, though, if he was, for instance, occupied with another task

If you're just an absolute chad at throwing and you manage to hit Smith, he’d look at you with this unsatisfied stare. He simply dusts off his suit and walks away (he’s secretly impressed you managed)

The only reason he would actually throw a snowball is if you continued doing it/trying. If you persisted, he’d use his speed to gather a giant snowball together and hurl it at you. You take your defeat and stop, cause 1. He threw it so hard, that you’re now on the ground and 2. All that combined snow was hella cold.

All in all, you don’t want to challenge him, especially as a human. You’d be losing. Hard.

Brown

When it comes to snow, I think Brown appreciates it more than he dislikes it.

He already recognizes the overall cultural aspect of snow, and that’s what he respects about it.

However, I can easily see him somewhat struggling to do the things he can usually do because of it. Like, I can see him easily losing his balance on the street if it’s iced over.

But anyway, I believe that he’d be more open to a fight, but here's the catch:

He’s not going to agree if you ask him to a snowball fight

“I have more important things to worry about.”

However, if you bring it up under the guise of training to help your throwing speed, aim, or something of the sort, he’ll agree

But only for a little while, he is a very busy program after all

He takes your proposal of actually training you seriously. When you’re both outside, he’s stone-faced the entire time.

He sets up some ground rules and you start training. He doesn’t hold back at all.

“The rebels won’t go easy on you, therefore I won’t go easy on you.”

I can see you two working on your awareness of others; you two could build snow people and you’ll have to hit him without hitting the, as he’s put it, the “snow citizens”.

And he’d train your brain to have better quick-thinking abilities. He’s absolutely going to use his super-speed while training you.

If you try to deviate from practice and goof off, he’ll pelt you with a bunch of snowballs, much to your dismay.

“Cool it with the snowballs, Brown!” “Stay on task!”

Sneak attacks could work on him. He’d demonstrate throwing strategies. Since he’s taking it seriously, he wouldn’t expect a sneak attack at all. 

If you go through with the attack, he’d be very insulted that you’re not paying attention. Your punishment; you get pelted with snowballs. 

He won’t admit it to you, but he had fun since it’s not the usual type of training. He’d want you to propose a snowball fight training session again.

Jones

Like Brown, I don’t think that he really has an opinion on snow.

Before he really experiences it, his mentality is,

“Oh, look…snow. Anyway–”

Compared to Smith and Brown, he’s the youngest program of the two

Therefore, I think that he’d be the most open to playing in it.

When you ask him to go outside with you under the guise of “training”, he immediately says yes

Once you two set up some rules, he’d get the hang of the activity quickly

The most lighthearted; the most likely to categorize what you’re doing as fun

“That was…certainly different from what I’m used to doing.”

He wouldn’t be the type to take it extremely seriously, therefore he’d go pretty easy on you. I can’t see him using his super speed that much since he wants to give you a fair shot at winning

You can easily get away with sneak attacks since he’s new

When you manage to do it, he’d be taken by surprise, but he’d catch on quickly.

“Oh, so we’re breaking rules now?  Well, if that’s how you want to play–”

After the snowball fight with you, he’d probably ask about other activities. So you decide to show him other winter activities, still under the guise of “training”. You two make snow people, lay on the ground and create snow angels, and just watch as snowflakes fall (Jones catches one with his tongue, and he quickly decides he’d rather not do that again because of the taste, lol).

Your fun is cut short when Smith sends Jones down to fetch you two so you both can get back to actually training.

I think that’s when he’d have an eye-opener moment.

After that day, he’d look around the Metacortex building and watch others playing in the snow like you two did. Now, when he’s out and about, he might stop to observe the tiny cat footprints indented in the snow. Maybe he’ll watch from a distance as families glide on the ice of skating rinks

Overall, he’d recognize snow’s ability to bring people together for a good time.

ALL THE AGENTS:

Smith does not participate in the antics. Nope.

He’ll watch you and the other agents throwing snow from down below

He doesn’t need to drink or eat but he can. If it’s cold, he’d drink a hot chocolate (I think peppermint-hot chocolate would be his fav)

Brown starts off taking the fight seriously, but after seeing you and Jones smiling, he doesn’t take it as seriously

He decides to just throw snowballs at regular speed when he sees that’s what you and Jones are doing

He’s winning the fight so far

Jones is truly enjoying the snowball fight with you both

He watches as you try your hardest to hit him and Brown while occasionally ducking for cover behind a nearby tree

Your accuracy isn’t as good as theirs, but he loves that you’re playing anyway.

A/N I’m a little bit late with this! In the state I’m in now, people aren’t used to getting snow. Many of my friends hadn’t seen snow before, so it was nice being able to go outside and make snowmen and just goof around. Somewhat inspired by that January day. I hope you enjoyed, this is my first time writing headcanons!

Some agents for the gay ppl in my phone 👍🏻

[hamletsleftball]

☝️🤓

the cufflinks for the agents' sleeves are thin and silver in colour, and it's the same design for their tie clip. (it gives me a reason to look at hugo weaving's hand- [SHOT])

AND

the idea that agents bleed isn't a new concept (we see agent johnson bleeding after morpheus cuts his cheek with his katana), but the idea that the earpiece is physically embedded in their bodies/skins sends a whole new meaning to smith's "I'm unplugged. A new man, so to speak.". since it implies that he had to tear it out from his being.

proof?

if you look closely at the scene where Neo tears open the package in Matrix Reloaded, there are specks of blood on the connector end of the earpiece, which, frankly, is terrifying to think about. but also scaroused.

[arcsyne]

literally under siege and brown stays so real by asking the important questions first because yeah what the fuck WAS he doing

[bluesakura007]

This is another one in the handful of memes that I was genuinely cackling at as I put it together.

Difficulty level if I tried explaining this meme to my parents: God-tier.

I know people want Smith and Neo but have people thought about Smith and Cypher? They are just 2 lonely souls enjoying steak

@doink-boink and @holybagelsstuff

I now proudly present: incorrect quotes but it’s just the main three agents from matrix because smith jones and brown won’t get out of my fuckin head

Matrix incorrect quotes (but it’s just the agents)

Agent Brown: Alright, important question for our friendship, when you go to the movie theatre do you ask for extra butter or regular butter or no butter?

Cypher: I put skittles- not skittles, m&ms with the popcorn

Agent Smith: Alright I’m gonna remove cypher from this call 

Cypher: Hold on ple-

*cypher has been removed from the call* 

Agent Brown: *giggling like crazy*

Agent Jones: You didn’t even give him a chance to explain himself!

Agent Smith: I’m quick at math. 

Agent Brown: Ok, what’s 38 times 76? 

Agent Smith: 24. 

Agent Brown: That wasn’t even close. 

Agent Smith: But it was quick.

Agent Smith: "You look tired" well, the torment is relentless and the horrors never cease.

The red pills: Why won’t you all just lie down and die with dignity?! 

Agent Jones: We don’t do anything with dignity!

Agent Smith: *pulls back the curtain while Agent Brown is showering* 

Agent Smith:  Hey did we - stop screaming it’s me - did we run out of Cheerios?

Agent Jones: Guess who just found out the difference between wax paper and parchment paper the hard way? 

Agent Smith: Wait, what’s the difference? 

Agent Jones: One you can use in the oven safely, and the other you can also use in the oven... if the thing you are trying to make happens to be fire.

Presumably in a horror movie situation, the agents just heard something go “bump” in the night (it’s just deja vu the cat but they don’t know that) 

Agent Jones: Alright, which one of us is gonna check outside? 

Agent Brown: Not it! 

Agent Smith: Not it! 

Agent Jones: ...Neither one of you are as dumb as you lead on to be.

Agent Brown: Are you trying to seduce me? 

Agent Jones: Why, are you seducible?

Agent Smith: Being smart has never stopped me from being a complete fucking idiot.

Agent Brown: Arson? Oh, you mean "crime brûlée".

Agent Brown: If you were an ice cream flavour, what flavour would you be? 

Agent Jones: Vanilla. 

Agent Brown: Vanilla?! You basic bitch! 

Agent Smith: If I was an ice cream flavour, I’d be pistachio! 

Agent Jones: Because nobody likes you? 

Agent Brown: I have a bad feeling about this... 

Agent Smith: What do you mean? 

Agent Brown: Don't you ever get that little voice in your head that tells you if you're going to get into trouble? 

Agent Smith: No? 

Agent Jones: That actually explains so much

I discovered this photo a few years ago and I’ve always wondered “what could’ve possibly happened to cause this photo to be taken.”

I can’t verify if its real or not but it looks pretty real. BTW this was found YEARS before the Robert Taylor Facebook photodump that I shared recently (and went semi-viral for)

[transgwender616]

i tried going to your blog earlier and my wifi was being weird so it showed the “eh?” and “this blog does not exist” screen and i was like NOOOOOOOO

That would be so bad. I had my 1st blog for about a year before it got terminated. Having my 2nd blog get terminated after less than 1/2 a year would be even worse. But no matter what I'll always be back.
