ok so guys. i love the matrix. i love it so much that i am going to make some headcanons for it (slight spoilers for 3 films below because i haven't watched resurrections):

mouse got his...codename? nickname? chat i nearly said callsign fuck me don't trust me because he literally. would. not. stop. talking. about. cheese. ever.

switch: "dude it's literally not real"

mouse, sobbing in the corner: "it was real to me"

ok well he wouldn't actually do that i think but they definitely ribbed him about it and he maintained that cheese is amazing despite the fact that he would never get to taste it in the real world.

i haven't watched the movie in a hot minute so i can't remember if it was mentioned in canon or not but i hc that morpheus was really reluctant to let tank and dozer join his crew because he'd known them for a pretty long time (not all their lives because he was freed from the matrix but they were homegrown) and didn't want them to get hurt. he'd seen the sentinels and the horrors within the matrix and especially outside and didn't want to endanger them like that, either mentally or physically. (especially the mental part tho because they were naive in a way? in that they were very eager to join the forces and help fight and were slightly ignorant of all the dangers that lurked. morpheus wanted them to stay in zion because if they stayed there they'd keep thinking [at least on some level] that the world was their oyster and that they'd be safe. their worldview would be completely turned upside down and tarnished if they joined up. tank and dozer wanted to do everything they could to help)

and when they got to the nebachu--ok listen it's like 4am and i can't spell that so we'll just call it the nebb. so when they got to the nebb they realized that morpheus was right about everything he'd warned them of. but they stuck around. they stuck around because they were true soldiers.

very few things survived the wars. but some people locked their shit into these like super cool techy impenetrable boxes or something that were later recovered by various ships and taken with the humans to zion. they contained things like photo albums, diaries, articles of clothing, and a lot of other things that really helped them piece together what humanity was like before the wars. there was also a ton of oral storytelling that got transcribed and placed into records of zion so that the humans didn't lose their humanity. they tried to keep whatever shreds they could but they couldn't keep all of it, so they combined it with the new stuff to make a new culture

switch and apoc are definitely close with each other somehow. platonic? sure. fucking? sure. romance? sure. whatever u want. but they are definitely two peas in a pod. (i need to rewatch dang)

what if trinity was like a music student or a journalism person before she was unplugged? i feel like whatever her main interest was during her plugged-in time was something that she missed very dearly upon getting freed. yes she was free and she knew the truth and could make her own decisions but the thing was that even though all that had happened she couldn't help but miss what she had while in the matrix. morpheus told her it was okay to mourn what she had lost and to take whatever time she needed, but to be careful to not let that feeling turn bitter. (because bitterness drives you to abandon the cause, as we saw with cypher)

neo likes strawberry ice cream and when he was little he cuddled with this squishmallow-esque stuffy. it was really squishy and plushy and sometimes he misses it.

cypher took way too much time, missed his old life too much, and abandoned the cause.

agent smith had thoughts that differed from the other agents' and what the matrix aimed to achieve ever since he was created. the ai put them apart to do his job but then looking at humans and everything more closely he reconsidered

mouse often daydreamed about fast food. one time on a mission he actually managed to order some mcdonald's fries at the drive thru and dumped the whole container into his mouth while running from agents. like picture this doofus running down the street, guns blazing, with his mouth stuff full of fries. morpheus was extremely scared when he did that for obvious reasons and explicitly banned food on all future trips.

the place that neo eats his noodles at often serves them with runny yolk (think poached or soft boiled eggs) on top and that's why he loved them so much6

"MORPHEUS IS KISSING NEO!"

[maxhpart]

You take the pump, the story ends; you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the sandal, you leave Barbieland and see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Remember, all I'm offering is the truth, nothing more.

Can’t believe I never posted this here but here’s my unfinished matrix animation that now looking back I might finish kisses
