Supergirl/The Old Guard au.

Before anyone complains. I wanted to keep the archetypes as best I could. Which meant trying to keep canon as best I could. And since I don’t have any canon m/m pairings. I thought the Krypton/Daxam feud was the best route possible. So I used karamel for Nicky and Joe. I also can’t imagine Brainy, James or Winn betraying anyone out of sheer exhaustion. So I used Morgan. But we all know Lena loves experimenting on people. So she fit the best of all. As for Nia. She’s the new girl on the team. Just like Nile was. So yeah. That’s my reasoning. I know they don’t all quite fit. But I did my best.

Alex. Andy.

Kara. Nicky.

Mon El. Joe.

Nia. Nile

Morgan. Booker.

J’onn. Copley

Kelly. Quyhn

Lena. Merrick.

I wonder what blazing weed field the directors of the old guard movie smelled at to change Noriko‘s name to Quyhn. It‘s just letter salad. It sucks to pronounce. It sucks even worse to write because apparently there‘s a ` over the y my phone won’t even let me put there.

Noriko was fine! It’s nice an simple! What are we French?!

the old guard + fine literature

[nicelytousled]

around these parts we don't say 'I love you' instead we say 'then I found you. I don't want to be alone. I need you. So I will follow you into the desert with water and food, and I will gather your ashes if you throw yourself into fire, and I will suffer your contempt and your rage if that's what you pour on me. But I will never leave you. It's just us. Just you and me. You and me. Until the end.'

I think my favorite thing about The Old Guard is that, as weird as it sounds, all the immortals have human limits. Like, yeah, they can't die and they heal hella fast, but the writers didn't inexplicably translate that into them having superhuman speed or strength or agility like I've seen in many other superhero media.

They get tired. I've honestly never seen so much sleeping in an action movie.

And they can be restrained with zip ties and buckles and held down by normal-ass dudes and get the shit beat out of them because of course they can.

When they're injured, they act like it. Even if its just for a few seconds. They moan and groan and limp and wince and never try to pull any of that dumb macho "I'm used to it" bullshit. Pain fucking hurts no matter how many times you experience it and this movie expresses that beautifully. Immortal doesn't mean invincible.

In the 10 minutes that I have learned The Old Guard is starting filming in Rome AND that Veronica Ngo is there, every brian cell I have has just been chanting QUYNH QUYNH QUYNH QUYNH QUYNH

It’s not what time steals, it’s what it leaves behind. Things you can’t forget.

The Old Guard but it’s some of my favorite TikToks—PART 2

[ofqueensandwitches]

My mum just watched The Old Guard for the first time today, and within five minutes of seeing Marwan Kenzari she went, "Damn, what a man."

And then she proceeded to fangirl over him throughout the rest of the movie.

I would like to read something about Artemis ❤️

Hi! Thanks for the ask!

Artemis is a The Old Guard OC (cause you know what else am I writing recently ^^) and she is an immortal on Andy's team (though the on team status is actually up for debate) and old enough to be the inspiritation for the goddess Artemis.

She, Andy, Quyhn and Lykon were a polycule for a long time until Lykon dies and Quynh is lost, due to the unfortunate circumstances around the witch trials.

Andy and Artemis have a major falling out over the whole thing because Artemis murders a lot of people in rage and desperation.

Their story picks up again in the 21st century, when Nile as a new immortal shows up and forces Artemis and Andy to interact again after 600 years of not seeing each other. Artemis helps the team and maybe she and Andy can reconnect. Who knows!

A snippet of their reunion below!

I entered my house. Ril was already asleep on his perch in my office. I spotted him easily through the open door. The windows were almost always open, except when there was a major storm rolling in. 

I let out a long breath, pulled out my hair tie and began undoing the complicated braid in a style this world hadn’t seen in millenia. 

“Still with the fancy braids?” an all too familiar voice said. 

I nearly jumped high enough to hit my head on the ceiling. “Zeus fucking balls!” My eyes found Andromache in the dark of the living room. A couple of the braids now fell into my face, while the others were braided along my skull. “How did you get in here?”

“You think I don’t know all the tricks you taught your huntresses?” Andy said and it sounded very ominous. 

I let my hands drop from my half undone braids and threw her a wary glance in the near pitchblack living room. Only moonlight fell in from the outside. “You know, you’re very badass assassin in that corner. Mind some light?”

Andy reached over and turned on the soft wall lights. “Better your grace?” she mocked. 

My heart tensed. My stomach coiled. Our argument from 600 years ago replayed in my mind, like it always did when I was feeling low, but now I felt like all the walls I had build around my heart, the stitches I had put in the cracks, Andy just tore them all open again, but 4000 years had taught me a couple of things. Mainly a good pokerface. “Actually, it’s ‘my lady’ or ‘high lady’ or ‘lady Artemis’ you may pick and choose.”

“Where’s the new one?” Andy’s voice was dark and threatening. 

“That’s why you’re here?” I couldn’t say I was surprised. “Actually probably helped you find me, right?”

“Artemis, I’ve known you for 4000 fucking years and you’ve never abandoned this temple.” 

Again fair point. “Yeah, I’m kind of bad at staying hidden from people who saw me grow up apparently.” I fought the urge to step closer. “Why do you care so much about the new one?”

Andy’s eyes were as cold as a winter’s sky. It was always fascinating how they changed colour with her moods. How laughter put all the green back in them and anger made them ice blue. “Maybe I care about what you’ll make of her. You really think the world needs another you?”

I swallowed hard. My jaw tensed. “You really want to rehash that particular argument?” 

“No, I told you what I want”, Andy stood up from the armchair and slowly walked over to me. 

I took half a step back before I could stop myself. But Andy didn’t stop. She reached out to take one thin braid between her fingers, twirling it softly, the strand almost the same colour as the moonlight. 

“So, are you going to tell me?” Andy said softly but somehow not any less threatening, “or do I have to test quite how good your huntresses are?”

My eyes flew over Andy’s face. I fought the fear. Mostly fear for what she’d do to my emotions rather than fear for her attacking me. Even back then, after I had lost myself in rage and blood, she had never attacked me with more than words, but those had stung deeper than any weapon as I had found out soon enough.
