Reblogging This For All The Onceler Haters

me scarededly checking the ninjago tag bc of spoilers and then getting jumpscared by a leaked clip of jay tripping and falling like an injured dog. I was more scared by actually seeing him with the ponytail, but oh my god. I haven’t even watched it and I am freaking out over him.

Zane bc he’s so polite :)) I feel like the way he’d explain it would be straightforward and my brain wouldn’t like get confused by it so yessss i say Zane

I mean look at this cutie I trust him with my whole life to give me proper instructions so I don’t DIE

Thunderbolts is better than the OG avengers and I think there’s a couple reasons for that. I know I’m stoking the fires with that one, but as an enormous fan of Avengers 2012 I always wanted something more from them.

Avengers 2012 was a true ensemble movie but its leaders, Steve and Tony, were defined by their conflict. Their differing personalities. The formation of the team was the point and their instability as individuals second to that. They had to get over each other to work together.

Thunderbolts isn’t really an ensemble movie. There’s an ensemble in it, but it’s about Yelena and her struggles with her mental health- her search for a solution to her depression and grief and trauma. So instead of getting over the differences of her teammates, it’s about wanting them around- learning to find the good and accept the bad. To prop one another up and find connection.

There’s also something distinctly un-masculine about Thunderbolts. I say un-masculine because it’s just not Joss Whedon’s Avengers. It’s not gendered in that way. It’s not about how sexy Black widow is when she kills a man, or the dick measuring contest between Steve and Tony- their dysfunctions and savior complexes.

The avengers are built on sacrifice- how much are you willing to sacrifice to keep humanity safe? The thunderbolts are once again built on that connection but they’re also built on their guilt and desire to be better people, not only for their loved ones but for themselves.

They also defer to Yelena. John does the “I’m the most experienced guy of course I’m the leader” bit and then almost immediately defers to Yelena later in that sequence even if he’s reluctant at first. The plan only works if you wait for me. You can see later in that scene when Bob is shot, John waits for Yelena’s call on whether to leave or do something about Bob in that moment. There are obviously times where they don’t defer to her, this is a group of people still getting to know and trust one another. They work together instead of despite each other.

They come to see her as someone to follow because they see her empathy, her ability to wait and watch and assess, and also her insane plans! Like calls to like but they see a team leader in her without her vying for it.

Idk I just love this movie. I have low hopes marvel will be able to strike lightning twice but I really hope they can. I’ve missed it.

Spoiled little brat by underscores was reminding me of Jay from @chebyshevptera’s destinyswap au. (from what has been explained abt him so far)

there’s even like, bubbling sounds at the end of the song, followed up with a sound that sounds like a gasp for air. which. wwwas reminding me of how destinyswap Jay is the water ninja.. idk guys.. i feel like I was thinking abt this too much but ykw. now I wanna draw smth using this song.

(this can lowkey fit for normal Jay too? I can imagine the end of the song being yk. when Jay almost drowned in Seabound-)

firm believer in jay having a resting “uncomfortable” face ……... he has the eyes of a deer in headlights no matter what he’s doing . always looks like he’s fighting demons even if he’s perfectly fine . other people interpret it as either

A) he’s on the verge of a breakdown

or B) he’s high as fuck

he could be having the best day of his life n his friends are still like dude Why do You look like that

Thank you to everyone who got me to 1000 likes!

Kinning a character can genuinely make life more enjoyable. Like I'll do something really embarrassing or something sad will happen and I'll be like "lloyd garamdon would do that". It could be the most ooc thing he could ever do and I'll still say that's lloyd garamdon core.

Like a while back I was rushing after my last class cause I take a bus that leaves literally a couple minutes after the bell rings but I had to go to the bathroom and was across the school.

I was rushing so much I forgot to redo my belt and literally ran out the open bathroom door in a highly public part of the school with my belt open and completely undone. It was very obvious since the belt was long and literally flung to my side. I quickly turned around cause I didn't want anyone to see and refixed it bro-

It was in that same public setting I didn't walk back into the bathroom to fix it I just did so publicly was I scared. As I was wallowing in embarrassment in the bus, I decided that movie lloyd (and series lloyd) would do that and I felt a little better.

Movie lloyd especially cause his jacket is halfway stuck in his belt/pants and halfway not so it looks like he didn't fix his outfit before leaving the house and that's literally me. (One time I went to school with two different shoes on trust lloyd would to.)

CHIGACGO ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!??! too bad I will not be able to go either WAH A:’(

DURING MY FUCKING FINALS??????

"I can’t hold you anymore."
