Can we discuss how Evil Gideon was lying, though?

I was thinking today about how completely unrealistic the Astra runs for President prediction was and the more I think about it, a lot of the other predictions don't add up. I'm going to go through in the order they were in the episode.

(She may not have been purposefully lying but she definitely just showed them whatever Chat GPT popped out.)

Zari: Seems plausible on the surface, but I have some concerns.

Her award show dress is UGLY. The red color is pretty but the orangey overlay ruins it. The ruching is in the worst possible place and makes her look larger than she is right through the middle. The bottom is kind of wrinkled. And then she has really small, understated jewelry and her hair up, so there's nothing interesting at all going on in the shoulder/neck region. Zari dresses better than that.

She makes billions with her cosmetics company. Despite the fact that we have repeatedly been told throughout the show that she is terrible at selling cosmetics. Her lip kits don't even sell. Everybody has lips! Her perfume destroys people's sense of smell.

Audible lipstick. Not a thing anyone wants. Not a thing that makes any sense. Evil Gideon is making this stuff up. And yes, it's the future, but nothing we've seen of the 2040s on Legends really looks all that much more technologically advanced than what we have now.

EG fails to consider that Zari has grown as a person since whatever info she has in her files, which is the whole reason Zari is upset about the prediction. It's plausible that she would go back to her career as it was, but she cares about people now. She would absolutely be doing some sort of philanthropy.

She's so pretty. But also, I'm not 100% convinced that that even is a dress because it looks like they may have just shoved a piece of fabric at her and said "here, hold this under your arms."

Behrad:

Totally plausible that he could become famous, either for his talent or via his connections, but he has never wanted to be famous. You expect me to believe that the man who hid in bed to avoid imaginary TV cameras is going to purposefully go into a career of being on camera?

He can't account for his whereabouts for several years of his adult life. He is not passing a background check to become a children's performer.

His record is called "Grey Hound to the Moon." Which is great, except that both the bus company and the dog spell it Greyhound. One word.

Avalance:

Knowing what we know now about Sara's biology, this is plausible.

But I feel like they might run into some issues trying to sign their kid up for school when one of them is legally dead and the other was never legally born.

Do kids get to do video calls from camp these days? I don't know. I am old. I had to bring quarters to the designated calling home payphones at a predetermined time to talk to my parents.

Gwyn:

He knows too much. They can't send him back to the 1920s. All of the Legends are aberrations waiting to happen, but sending anyone to the past is a no-no.

If they are going to send him back, wouldn't it make more sense to send him back to New York? Since that's where he last was?

Nate:

He has to somehow convince someone to publish a book about how time travel is real. Nate Heywood. Who you may recall from that controversial fake documentary about time travel a few years back. He seems like a reliable source.

You don't grow a hideous beard over the Heywood jawline. You just don't.

His TV interview is totally bogus. Nate knows how to schmooze. He's not going to be all "I can't answer your simple question about what time travel feels like because you must first read all 500 pages of my book."

"I never said that out loud before but that is the title I picked out." Gideon can literally monitor your dreams, dude. I know that she's never personally kidnapped you and put you into a time loop, but she knows things.

Astra:

Remember how she couldn't find a job in season 6? Because she's legally dead and legally still a child? She also has no education, no work experience, and a grand total of like 6 people who can vouch for her existence. She is a mess. No idea if she's legally eligible to run.

And she definitely wouldn't win, given that all of the above would definitely come out. She also doesn't look her legal age (which barely makes her old enough to qualify), she's terrible at keeping her temper, and she's literally a witch.

Also, she runs in 2040. We know for a fact that Dwayne Johnson is the President in 2045. So at best, she gets 1 term.

That wig is preposterous.

Spooner:

Again, she definitely knows too much to go back to the 1920s.

Everyone is already suspicious of Gloria Cruz. You don't think they're going to have questions when her daughter goes missing and then some 20-something shows up out of nowhere?

They are not running an apothecary. They are getting burned at the stake.

It’s been exactly one year since the season 7 finale of Legends which means by now Sara and Ava have a baby, Nate and Zari have been living together in the totem for a year, Spooner came out over a year ago, Behrad and Astra have been in a relationship for over a year, Gideon and Gary have been together for over a year, and (I hope) that they have escaped prison and rescued Alun so that he and Gwyn can be happy together and everyone can get back to causing shenanigans while traveling through time. Sara was right, time really is weird, huh?

I can’t believe it’s been a whole year, I miss all these dumbass time travelers so much and would do anything to have them on my screen again!

Inspired by my last reblog, because I’m craving Legends content. Only doing s7 characters because of poll limits (and it’s my favorite) but I’m open to doing other seasons in the future.

Lowest Common Demoninator, missed opportunity edition

Behrad: I died and I haven't talked about it. Real Housewife Sara: That's so sad that you died ONCE. That must be so hard for you. I don't whine about it, and do you even know how many times I've died? Jersey Nate: Oh my god, NOBODY knows how many times you've died. All you do is die. Newsflash: you're not special. We ALL died. Gwyn: ...What's that now? Ava: I guess that's technically true. Everyone who was there at the time either got murdered by Atropos or torn apart by zombies. The original Zari was - Zari 2.0: EXCUSE ME? Gary: And if Gideon blew up and Gwyn died in his original timeline, that leaves... Naked Spooner: I'm the Survivor. I just beat all you morons without even trying. Astra: Don't celebrate yet because I am on the verge of MURDERING ALL OF YOU.

[womenwithbigsticks]

Who is your favorite big stick woman?

Everyone loves her but MPP for sure because she's the one person I remember watching the most specifically way back in 2014 at the Sochi Olympics

I was in college at the time and we played the women's games on the projector after class... it was the first time I'd watched women's hockey games in their entirety and I was so sad there was no official women's league to match the NHL around that time

Oh and she's also the first active player I'd learned was openly out which changed my entire brain chemistry before coming to the beautiful realization that women's hockey is held up by amazing queer women

[zaritarazi]

I'm gonna level with everyone

I think zari tarazi was more than entitled to have this reaction at the ranch dressing wedding. I think she should have, and it would've been good. And also funny. It would've been very funny

[lingeringscars]

I love u ace characters. I love u ace headcanons. I love u aspec people.

[unproduciblesmackdown]

and i draw parallels solely on the cinematographic basis of “when my man is no more than a millimeter away from perturbation at all times but you give the Whole Right Half Of The Screen 3/4 Closeup of Harrowing Recontextualizations” like that’s right. we’re living it up
