Anya: You're going away for a week?! That's great! Giles: Yes, yes, everybody seems delighted about it. Anya: Well, I get to run the store, right? Giles: You? Ah, w-well, it's quite a lot for one person to take care of. Well, I-I mean, the trash men, for example, I mean, they, they, they've been making such a mess in the back alley, the recycling people can't get in there to collect. Well, somebody has to talk to them. Anya: I can take care of that. Tara: I'm envious, Mr. Giles. A trip to England sounds so exciting and exotic. Un...less you're English.

Daisy rocks the 40's style

[agentreeb]

Highlights of the episode an hour after watching it: [contains spoilers obviously]

•THE NEW ZEPHYR *SCREAMS*

•Literally like the first scene of all of them in the zephyr I just loved it

•THE COSTUMES OF COURSE

•COULSON MAKING DAD JOKES

•Daisy telling Deke “yeah yeah I’m proud”

•Jemma immediately assuming it was Deje who stole the truck

•THE OFFICER BEING SEXIST AND DAISY PUTTING HIM IN HIS PLACE WE STAN

•ONE OF THE BARTENDERS BEING RACIST AND MACK HOLDING HIMSELF BACK WE STAN

•Yoyo getting emotional about her arms🥺

•Enoch being a cutie and protecting the team

•FITZSIMMONS OF COURSE

•JEMMA BEING STRESSED BECAUSE SHE CANT GET FITZS MESSAGE AND SAYING THAT SHE MISSES HIM BUT AT LEAST HES SAFE

•Coulson kicking ass

Literally guys just everything, this episode was amazing. It truly felt so refreshing and like it was nice that it wasn’t all sad and depressing and like s7 I can already tell it’s going to be such a good season. For real just something about it felt different and I can’t wait for more!

LMD! Coulson Appreciation Post (7x03)

[bunnykaye]

Me, only figuring out that FitzSimmons were bunking on FREAKING ZEPHYR ONE OH MY GOD 😲😱😲😱😲😱

On the BTS pic below, you can see Coulson LMD’s charging station right next to that glowing blue box.

Another evidence was shown on 7x11 and we didn’t realize it.

The one the arrow is pointing to are the “beams”(?) of Zephyr One’s Lab, covered in plastic.

DAAAAAAAAAAMMMMNNNNNNNNNNNN.

[queen-of-love-and-beauty]

Do I think Melinda May is pissed because she woke up confused and alone in a plastic tube and she’s in shock? Yes!

Do I think she’s mad that she didn’t get to stay dead because she saw Phil while she was *floating* before they brought her back and she wanted to stay with him?

NO! That’s borderline suicidal. That’s saying May wanted to die before she got stabbed in the gut by a body hopping alien.

Melinda May was okay with seeing Coulson if she died, but she didn’t want to fucking die. Don’t get it twisted.

[angry-slytherin]

SPOILERS FOR AOS 7x01 BELOW.

AHHHHHHH. AHHHHHHHH. HOLY MOLY BEJOLY THAT WAS OFF THE CHARTS INCREDIBLE.

main thoughts with my adrenaline going:

ChroniCoulson/LMD!Coulson is awesome. “Dad jokes...it’s a glitch.” I DIED. I loved his scenes with Daisy and Mack. He will be a great (re?)addition this season.

Yo-yo and the thing with her new arms...I get it but I don’t. She immediately wanted new arms when hers were gone. But I guess now that she’s come to terms with it, it’s different. But the budget must be saved, so they are “life like” lol

THE COSTUMES. THEY ARE INCREDIBLE. I CANT WAIT FOR MAY, YO-YO AND JEMMA TO WEAR SOME. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL. costume designer excellence.

Jemma went DARK. She just stabbed the chromicom like it was no one’s business. I loved it. I’m still on @agl03 ’s secret child theory because of 1) Jemma not directly telling Daisy how long she and Fitz had been apart from the team and 2) Her ruthlessness. Motherhood makes ya tough!

I’m glad they aren’t ignoring the racism or sexism of the 30’s. But at the same time not overplaying it. Nice touch, George Kitson.

I think it will be incredibly cool to see them save HYDRA in order to save S.H.I.E.L.D.

I am so excited to travel throughout different periods.

MAY IN THE TAG SCENE??? WHY DOES SHE LOOK LIKE A SPIDER????

WHERE IS FITZ PART 47474832929292

Seriously though Fitz...I need your gorgeous face to get me through quarantine. And your wife misses you too.

[wannabesciles]

Well fuck, I’m obsessed with Darren Barnet...

I. Arrival of the Birds

When she thinks back to the girl who stepped off the plane in America, walked through the doors of the Academy, the image curls in the back of her throat. It’s the not quite nausea of gravity pulling when the Zephyr takes off. Milk curdling in a saucepan on the stovetop just a second before she can tend it. A two day old sunburn that still aches against sticky sheets when she lays on her back.

She was so small – no shorter than she is now – and brittle and young. She remembers the suitcase – too large for her – and the handsome blond that hefted it up the dorm stairs when he saw her yanking it up, banging, step by step, by the handle. Her hands shook and her palms sweat and she shrunk even further when he smiled at her. It aches, like the first day of a cold, before you know you’re really sick, but she can’t shy away from it.

She thinks of the dorm room that was so small it felt like it curled around her and the wide open lecture halls she gave presentations to without a hint of a tremble in her fingertips and talking so fast no one could understand her words but not being able to shape them properly around her ideas anyway.

Now when she speaks it’s pitch perfect, like she’s running from a script, perfectly memorized, so vivid she can read it behind her eyes like her Chem textbook after three weeks of studying for her A levels. Every word structured in the paragraphs and sentences of a finished essay – fact, evidence; statement, correlation. Her voice doesn’t shiver, it’s too cold, or shake; her words don’t wander away from her, hardly even when she talks to Fitz.

She hadn’t always been prim and proper, she was the kind of child who raced her bike through mud puddles and spent hours digging in the garden with her Gran, but the older everyone got around her, as she passed placement tests and evaluations and left her peer group behind, the more mature she had to be. By the time she reached America it was a well-worn habit, a cozy knit sweater that shielded her against the wind, and now it’s a mask that only slips in the stormiest of weather.
