What did you think of The Good Place??? Tell me all your thoughts, please!!

i will be suing michael schur for emotional damages <3

honestly, though? best show i've watched since hill house, which was way back in february, by a mile. i actually watched s4 while it was airing (i don't remember why? i think the girl i liked at the time really liked it but i can't remember if that was the cause of me watching it or not) way back when you could do things like that on network websites. side note, that's ALSO how i managed to watch aos7 way before the rest of aos- but anyway, i had no idea what was going on in s4 because i hadn't seen the rest of it. so when i got netflix i added it to my watchlist but just never got around to watching it until now. i am now obsessed and it's michael schur's fault. the characters are all so lovable and so believable, and the show is so funny while still being full of so much heart. it also gets points for me for being sort-of urban fantasy along with being a sitcom, because with the exception of derry girls and that one episode of new girl with the meth, i don't really rock with plain old sitcoms a lot of the time. (also part of the reason why i love santa clarita diet.) absolute once-in-a-lifetime creation from schur. i salute him.

postscript: this screencap from the s1 penultimate is the funniest thing i have EVER seen in my life. i love one (1) man and his name is chidi anagonye

(please excuse the quality. netflix has stopped allowing me to screenshot so i had to take a picture of my laptop with my phone. unfortunately that means i don't think i'm going to be able to do your gifset request, as hilarious as it was, either)

POV: You're Zeke, and you just volunteered to stay behind so that #DaisySousa has their happy ending. I know the season finale happened a year ago, but I've been rewatching Agents of Shield, and I just really love this couple so so much. I'm surprised they don't have that many fanarts👀 so lemme start with this skcjdiwkd. Also pls. I'm still waiting for the Astro Ambassadors😭🙌

[girlrandomstuff]

they went from: who the hell are you? i don't exist.

to: they're good? they're good.

In like a year, sorry but peggysous could never (don't get me wrong, no hate, i was the peggysous shipper no.1, until this two showed up)

SPOILER ALERT FROM SEASON 7 EPISODE 9 OF AGENTS OF SHIELD

ok, so we all saw that Dousa kiss. And many of you guys have already start shipping it but before that (if that's even possible), I want to talk about Daisy's past (more specifically, StaticQuake):

Lincoln was Daisy's third cannon love interest and whether you liked it or not, we have to admit his departure left a scar on her: she hasn't seen anyone romanticly since that, which up to S7 should be like, what, 4 years minimum? Anyways, it's a really long time.

LITTLE DISCLAIMER BEFORE YOU KEEP READING: I'm not saying she NEEDS a couple in order to be interesting or something 'cause we all know she's incredibly interesting all by herself but, keep scrolling: I'll get to my point soon enough...

She could have been with Deke (as up to S7, he still looks like he has a crush on her or at LEAST he deeply cares for her) but no, he isn't her type. He's quite annoying (for some) and even child-like, and he takes other's merit and makes them his, something that I'm sure Daisy dissaproves strongly.

But then, Sousa comes along. A brave, kind and caring man that looks for nothing but what it's right. He reminds me a little bit of Lincoln, but they are different though.

Lincoln and Sousa both have golden hearts and are both often driven by emotions just like Daisy. However, Sousa and Daisy (this last one, with time) had learnt that with rational behaviour and a great heart, the best results occur: emotions can't get the best of you if you're not thinking clearly. Lincoln didn't have enough time to learn this lesson.

Sousa keeps it cool in front of others, even if he doesn't mean to: keeps a straight face even when things get messy and even though he's quite clueless with all these space-time things, and the technology and aliens (kinda like me, to be honest), he tries to find a solution as clean as possible whereas Lincoln was desperate to protect who he cares about no matter how, like that time he almost lost it with Alisha. Emotions got the best of him while Sousa, after being pulled out of his time, yes, he got a little bit upset (which is totally normal in such an anormal situation) but quickly put himself back up to help those in need: the team.

Anyways, StaticQuake was both great and painful for Daisy, and even though I adore that ship and Lincoln as well, we have to let it go.

Lincoln and Daisy were so good to each other in times of need and never gave up on the other, no matter how rough things got in the short time they had together. Nobody took such a passionate and kind care for her like Lincoln did and viceversa for Lincoln.

Because of the traumatic event losing Lincoln was and so many others she's lived, Daisy looks every time less emotional about loses and problems (nothing like S3 finale has ocurred in the subsequent seasons) 'cause she's so damaged and so broken already. So much has happened in so little time and now.

I sometimes believe in front of cathastrophies, she looks kinda numb not sure if she doesn't want to feel so much pain, she's just that broken or if she does it for the team.

My point is that, due to all this, she deserves some happiness with someone with a heart as golden and broken as hers like Sousa's, and viceversa, and they both deserve a happy ending together, if that's what they want. Give them a break already.

Some information from the panel at Wondercon (click here to watch the video) - First of all, the big news: Aos will return on May 10 with season 6 that takes places after Endgame and season 7 may not be the last one! Maurissa said they always think they’re going to end each season and being renewed is a bonus each year. - If she could choose a superpower, Natalia would like to travel in time. Henry would want the power to heal. Jed want to fly. - Jed said we always watch actors with special effects but on set “we see all of them completely ridiculous” and Maurissa added “I have videos of all of that and they will be shared with the world at some point” - a fan asked which character from previous seasons they miss the most. Elizabeth said Ward, Bobbi, Hunter and Mace. Clark said Ruth Negga (Raina). Jeff Bell said Bobbi and Hunter. Maurissa said Trip. Natalia praised Mallory Jansen (Aida). And Iain talked about the episode of Nick’s return… And then he told he miss the ferrets (who apparently are named Salt and Pepper) 😂

The MCU has, to my memory, 4 canon uses/methods of time travel: -Agents of Shield season 5, using a monolith and a machine invented by Leo Fitz (and maybe Jemma Simmons) -Avengers: Endgame using the quantum zone and a device created by Tony Stark (with Bruce Banner and Scott Lang and maybe Rocket?) -Runaways season 3, using a machine created by Chase Stein -Agents of Shield season 7, using different technology invented by Leo Fitz with the help of Enoch and Jemma Simmons

Two of these are the most relevant: Endgame and AOS season 7 because both of these share two common features-- use of the quantum zone and the concept of branching timelines.  Both of these uses clearly establish that changing time creates a branch timeline and therefore an alternate universe. Endgame uses the quantum zone to travel within their timeline. AOS7 uses a different method of time travel but in the finale, uses the quantum zone to move from one timeline to another. One could potentially infer that Steve Rogers used the same or a similar method to travel from his branch timeline where he married Peggy back to the main timeline where he handed off his shield to Sam.

All this to say that, within the MCU, moving backwards and forwards in time, and moving between universes within the multiverse, if not essentially the same action just in a different direction, then a very closely linked action. 

From which we could conclude that, if someone were able to pull someone from one universe to another-- like say... Peter Maximoff-- they could presumably by the same token pull that person from a different time in that other universe-- for instance 1983 so as to have a 27 year old Quicksilver rather than a 67 year old Quicksilver. 

Or at least that makes sense to me insofar as it concerns stories involving time travel, multiverses, super-powered mutants, sentient androids, witches whose powers may be magic or may be the result of experimentation with primordial energies, and the occasional Norse god.

MACK'S REALLY WAS DONE WITH SOUSA'S LANGUAGE.

The fact that he was "yeah, I'll tell you new ones" and then he realize Daniel's language is just a reflection of what he is, just a good man, a fine man.

I miss him so much, and all of them

he has such a way with words

Sousa’s Leg

With Sousa having recently joined the Very Advanced Prosthetic club with Coulson (former member...kinda) and Yo-yo, I had some thoughts about the similarities and differences that might be present with the change.

There was debate throughout while Agent Carter was airing on what exactly the situation with Sousa’s leg was. His gait throughout season 1 was quite stiff and a crutch allowing him to distribute a lot of weight to his arm and shoulders was a necessity. This led some to propose his war injury led to a trans-femoral amputation of his leg, meaning the loss of a knee joint. An exchange about where he got injured between he and Thompson in 1x4 of ac gave some weight to this theory with Sousa’s snarky reply about his femur. However, in S2 of Agent Carter his gait is steadier, and more importantly we see him crawl without much difficulty (when looking for the misplaced ring). We see him balance on his knees and crawl again with ease in aos 7x6. This alone suggests the loss of leg was below the knee joint. 

The timing we have both from ac1 and now from aos7 offers a different explanation. Season 1 of Agent Carter takes place in 1946. The injury is still recent. Sousa was still very much adjusting to his prosthetic.

In 7x5 Sousa discusses what happened to him the day he was injured in order to try and keep Agent Johnson awake after torture. He reconfirms he was an army scout. We learn the injury was caused by a landmine on a foggy night, and that he was rescued from the front line of the fighting by the biggest jackass in his unit who ultimately did not make it. 

In 7x3 we were previously given the detail “since you took shrapnel at Bastogne.” This coupled with the details of it being foggy, “so cold we thought we would freeze”, and having to wait for medical aid/supplies gives us a case that they’re implying Sousa was there at the start of the Battle of the Bulge which took place beginning December 1944.

If we use that scenario, Sousa had likely been in the Ardennes area a while, his unit rotated there and joined by newer soldiers after time spent at another part of the front. (Also, please go ahead and make that ridiculous 27 we saw in his file in 7x3 a 37. Sousa is in his late thirties right now on aos and was definitely not a teen for s1 of Agent Carter ffs.)

It’s most likely been less than 2 years since Sousa was injured. It would have taken a couple months for his leg to heal enough for limited use with a prosthetic, more time to gain competence. While the presence or lack of the knee joint makes a significant difference, the ankle and the ball of the foot play a huge role in balance and in propelling the body forward while walking. That is not a lot of time for the body and mind to adjust to all those changes.

Prosthetics technology was forced to make leaps and bounds of advances in the wake of WW1 and WW2. Sousa’s first prosthetic likely had leather straps around his thigh to help keep it in place and wooden and metal components for the main structure. It would have been heavy. It may or may not have had a socket around his leg to help keep it in place. Many older prosthetics were simply flat and relied on the straps to hold it in place. The likelihood the ankle was flexible at all is very low.

By the time we see him in 1955 in aos 7x3 he’s had a full decade to gain confidence with moving with his prosthetic. This is also likely not his original prosthetic, but a newer one that might be better fitted to his remaining leg. The shape of muscle in his leg would have changed over time and this is now likely to be a socket prosthetic, which wraps up around the stump. While the prosthetic still would have been heavy (lots of the plastics and aluminum improvements were made in the 60s) the technology still had improved. We also see he is using a (dapper) cane to assist with balance and with moving quickly, but he is much more confident when he has to move without it than he was in ‘46. Sousa at this point simply knows how his prosthetic will behave and how to move with it. It is his now in a way it was not in ac s1; it’s not jarring for him and doesn’t take conscious thought to compensate anymore. 

In aos 7x8 we see that Jemma has most likely used the cradle technology to print Sousa a new prosthetic. From what we see of it in its box, it is a socket prosthetic. The angle made it hard to tell much else. (It looked wide at the top and was in a long box, but even if we are meant to presume trans-femoral still, they’ve undermined it with the kneeling and his gait/actions in s7 in general.)

This is different from Coulson’s previous prosthetic forearm, which anchored to a cybernetic implant, and (should be) from Yo-yo’s arms, which based on how she’s used them throughout the show must do the same thing. (That shot of future Yo-yo I don’t think can be used to rule one way or another; she’d been Kasius’ prisoner a long time.)

This is where we start to run into the cool stuff happening with real-world prosthetics research. What Sousa has now with this leg that he wouldn’t have had with his previous prosthetics is an ankle he can control through the electrical signals being sent to muscles in his leg by his brain. Sensors in/around the prosthetic would be able to register these electrochemical signals and relate them to intended motions to be made by the ankle, etc. In reality, this would take weeks of practice and making sure the signals from the brain are generating the intended responses, not plug n play. This prosthetic probably also has a lot more shock absorption capabilities compared to his previous ones, making it more comfortable to walk for longer at a time. The weight of it should also be closer to his other leg, a similar weight or possibly lighter, which takes strain off his hips and back (but would again in reality be another major adjustment period for his brain to update its self-concept again). 

What I don’t think Sousa has at this point compared to Coulson and Yo-yo with more invasive/permanent prosthetics is much sensation feedback. That just hasn’t been set up with this change. The line of communication between Sousa and prosthetic should be pretty one-way. Other things that probably haven’t changed for Sousa are because he has probably gone from a socket to socket prosthetic leg. He has to be very careful about how the socket is affecting the skin on his remaining leg. Skin injuries require rest time and any friction needs to be dealt with quickly. He shouldn’t sleep in the prosthetic, wear it 24/7 etc. 

TLDR or omg why did you type all this and post it at stupid o’clock: It’s still difficult to confirm due to conflicting information from both shows whether Sousa’s amputation was to his upper or lower leg. Sousa was still adjusting to having a prosthetic leg early in Agent Carter and is very used to it when we see him again in 1955 on aos. While his new prosthetic is more maneuverable, it still should require some of the care habits he is used to compared to Coulson and Yo-yo’s prosthetics.

It's been 5 years since Agents Carter was canceled and more than a year since Agents of Shield ended, and I'm still very in love with Sousa. I miss him and I didn't realize until endgame wiped him out of the story
