it's moxxie day

you know what that means

i remember having a moment after i saw this calendar when the full moon first came out because aww look blitz makes time for his friends outside of work

and then i had another moment once apology tour came out because if that episode takes place on october 31st, full moon might take place in september, specifically in 2023

and if THAT's the case, then september 10th could very well be moxxie's birthday!! cos he's a virgo!!! yippee!!!!

okay that's not all this post is about but i didn't have it done in time for the weekend (fever things yay)

usually when i make these posts they pop into my mind as a header and the header for this one would've been "you ever notice how moxxie has trouble with running?"

but obviously that's kind of a boring ass post on it's own so i also talk about strengths/weaknesses, specifically in moxxie's case

"moxxie has trouble with running?" yeah, i think it's a fair claim

i'm pretty sure he has the most time spent running out of the entire cast, actually, but i'm cutting this post really close to midnight and i'll be damned if this doesn't go up on MOXXIE DAY on the MOXXIE RANT ACCOUNT during VIRGO SEASON

evidence:

murder family

-you can hear him panting during this little shot but it isn't heard when he runs back to the house later in the episode

loo loo land

-panting isn't heard but it's certainly seen

harvest moon

-emphasized how much trouble he has keeping up with blitz and striker

-i won't count the panting here since he was literally just being choked out but. running!

also, kind of unrelated: striker is literally backing him into a corner before this. scratches the door, closes it, backs him up against the desk--you know, signs someone's about to attack you?

but moxxie's still caught off guard, even though he mentions having an "instant dislike" of striker on first meet, and even though he's very skilled at dodging most projectiles.

so it's not that he can't detect oncoming danger, i think it's that it depends on the context in which the danger comes at him. moxxie can't tell that striker is intending threaten him through body language alone, he needs to go into a fight knowing that a fight is going to happen in the first place.

in cherub, the cherubs literally pull out angelic crossbows so it's fair to say moxxie's guard was up as soon as they got hostile. and also they all just indulged in blitz's wonderful mannerism of intentionally pissing people off for the sillies (and sometimes for the not-so-sillies), so he probably saw this coming anyways.

in truth seekers, blitz tackles moxxie to the ground so he doesn't get shot, but it only takes the portal being closed for him to go into fight-mode. in a similar fashion, blitz only tries to fight the agents after moxxie is shot with the tranquilizer. otherwise he's running away.

where did you learn parkour, little man.

but my last backing points about the running thing which kind of ties into what i'm saying here;

mission: antarctica

-they're all running from the hoard of penguins but moxxie falls behind millie and blitz

-millie seems to take notice of this and helps him run up the steps saying "mox, come on!"

think about that for a second. that doesn't seem like a line they wrote in initially, it sounds like something they added in after they saw the storyboards. moxxie falling behind isn't a detail super important in the context of the short, but could be an important detail overall.

especially if you compare this to the heist scene in exes and oohs. difference being chaz didn't stop to help moxxie but millie does.

so yadda yadda yadda, you could blame this all on coincidence but i think it's an implied struggle. solid "your curses are your blessings and vice versa" kind of thing we have going on here. your flaws are often correlated to your strengths.

to build on that idea, moxxie's an accurate and precise shooter but he lacks in physical strength compared to millie and blitz. moxxie's very agile (dude literally has no scars) but he has trouble running for long periods of time. he's great at finance and filing paperwork but it doesn't seem like he enjoys it.

he's got all these great skills but he has low self-esteem and an inferiority complex.

back on that striker point from earlier, moxxie's not so great at reading the room but he's pretty great at reading individuals.

-first meet with striker and he already has an instant dislike of him.

-gets thrown into jail and gets celled with a stranger but has an instant trust of him because he mentions his daughter.

-the ENTIRE drug trip sequence from truth seekers??? that almost 1-1 read he has on blitz, especially compared to blitz's interpretation of moxxie in HIS drug sequence? do you get what i'm saying here?

HMM i wonder why that might be??? surely not an ability he developed from his childhood??? or after being used/abandoned by chaz??? and all that quality time with his Papa??? surely not??????

okay i got it all out. happy birthday you little gremlin freak

Wait so you’re telling me that before the HMS Terror and HMS Erebus attempted to cross the northwest passage they had already been all the way to Antarctica? That they had already had multiple serious crises that would have destroyed other ships normally including crazy shit like crashing into ice, colliding, and getting their rigging literally tangled with each other? And that they had gotten a bunch of upgrades and modifications that were pretty high tech/new for the time like heating and propellers (apparently the British Navy was only just trying to implement them at the time so it was like literally hot off the press type of technology) before the northwest passage voyage? Seriously puts the disaster and tragedy that the northwest passage thing was in context for me like damn.

This is probably just basic info about them honestly but I had only ever looked into them in the context of the northwest passage and how it ended so badly so this was all news to me lmfao

Getting into a new fandom and half of it is arguing about "shipping" ...

Good thing I am immune to "ship" discourse about whether a relationship in fiction is bad or unhealthy or whatever because I grew up on X-Men comics.
