LEGENDS OF TOMORROW ( 2016 - 2022 ) TITANIC ( 1997 )

[malacandrax]

So like what if there’s no Jack.

Partly fuelled by a group watch of titanic, partly ‘nobody has ever drawn this therefore I Must’. I think drawing this made me kind of fonder of the platonic relationship they have in canon, but it was fun! And I Do love a good may/december haha.

TITANIC | 1997 ↳ Directed by James Cameron

The one part of Titanic I will absolutely never recover from is at the very end:

Jack, the person she loved most is the one waiting for her up the stairs at the clock. As you get closer to Jack, the other people Rose was more familiar with and/or cared for her are the ones standing nearest to him, with Jack’s third class friends she met and danced with being toward the bottom of the stairs and Fabrizio is even leaning on the rail with his foot on the first step (hon. mention to Mr. Murdoch who saw Jack and Rose cavorting on deck and smiled and laughed about it).

But you know who the only other character is that’s not only fully on the staircase, but several steps up from everyone else?

Mr. Andrews 🥺

He was the only one of Rose’s first-class peers to show her respect, value her intelligence, and show genuine concern about her making it off Titanic alive.

And it both warms my heart and tears me apart that next to Jack, he was clearly the next closest person she held dear. And I know everyone smiles and greets her as she walks by but Thomas Andrews just looks so fucking proud of her. He’s so proud that she made it out and lived her life.

So I think it’s safe to say that in return, Thomas Andrews was the one who cared for Rose the most, aside from Jack.

When she walks in and people start noticing her, you can see Fabrizio speaking to Mr. Andrews before spotting Rose and gesturing toward her, and UGH they both just look so happy to see her.

So I know the end is up for interpretation on whether it’s a dream or she died. But personally I choose to believe she passed peacefully in her sleep and was finally reunited with the people she cared about most, who had been patiently waiting for the last 84 years for her to rejoin them.

Excuse me while I go cry now 🥹

I'm sorry that I didn't build you a stronger ship, young Rose.

One of the most understated moments of "Titanic" is Thomas Andrews silently chuckling when Rose makes a dick joke at luncheon. Delivering a sick burn to the ego of Bruce Ismay that completely goes over his head.

Now a for-real-deal throwback: A Thomas Andrews, Jr. sketch.

I haven't drawn him in years!

"What we think, or what we know, or what we believe, is in the end, of little consequence. The only thing of consequence is what we do."

I think a lot of you should keep this quote in mind. Nowadays, having the "right" opinion has become more important than one's actions, to the point where people will be harassed for opinions they hold completely privately and do not act on. It's like that one person says, something along the lines of "in leftist spaces, it's infinitely more important to do nothing wrong than something right."

Ultimately, someone with all of the "right" opinions who does nothing good offers nothing to the world at large. Someone who may have "wrong" opinions who actually gets up and makes a difference is infinitely more important to the world at large.

You will not be remembered or celebrated for sticking to your morals and doing nothing.

Every day, each and every one of us is given hundreds if not thousands of opportunities to do little acts of good and kindness. Taking those opportunities will invariably make the world a better place.

Tom was, we are told, “a healthy, energetic, bonny child, and grew into a handsome, plucky and lovable boy.” His home training was of the wisest, and of a kind, one thinks, not commonly given to Ulster boys in those more austere times of his youth. “No one,” writes his brother John, “knew better than Tom how much he owed to that healthy home life in which we were brought up. We were never otherwise treated than with more than kindness and devotion, and we learned the difference between right and wrong rather by example than by precept.”

Shan F. Bullock, "Thomas Andrews - Shipbuilder"

Happy birthday Tommie !

But this ship can’t sink! She's made of iron, sir! I assure you, she can... and she will. It is a mathematical certainty.
