#this scene changed the trajectory of my life

[riacte]

I remember I was disillusioned with shipping in 2020-21 and then I reverted to my romcom status quo in 2022 so the only logical conclusion is that Treebark not only got me into mcytshipping, it also got me back into shipping in general. God bless they’re the ultimate frog boiling ship.

I didn't necessarily like Vanessa breaking up with Wade in dp&w, because it did minimize her character and I love her and their relationship chemistry, but it made sense as a trajectory to me, because with the flashback, we see stress happening along an existing consistent faultline in their relationship.

In the first movie, the reason Wade is even in the program with Francis is because he unilaterally made a decision in their relationship to not allow Vanessa to support him through his cancer, even though she expressed that she wanted the exact opposite. She's clearly still searching for him and interested in resuming their relationship based on the way she immediately goes out to try and find him when she's lured out and kidnapped, despite the strong possibility he's already dead. She never gave up on him the way he did himself, and yet, Wade never comes back to her, because he's imposed his own idea of what she would think and want on her and used that to make another unilateral decision. Which she's clearly angry about in the finale, despite being willing to take him back! And completely understandably.

In the second movie, we obviously don't see a lot of their relationship, but we can tell that Wade doesn't let her in on any details of his work by the way he makes excuses to her about being late for their anniversary, which again, she's annoyed by. And when his work literally gets her killed, she isn't angry in the afterlife (if we take those scenes as given instead of happening in Wade's head exclusively, which I've always wondered about, but given how self loathing he can be, I would think that a Vanessa in his head would blame him). In fact, she even jokes about it in dp&w, or at least that was my read - it felt very like their trauma one-upping in the first film to me.

So what do we know about their breakup from dp&w? Well, we see the scene where Wade interviews with the Avengers and says "my girl is sick of my shit", and a conversation in flashback that's been manipulated by Cassandra. But before she has Vanessa tell Wade "you'll never matter", it seems to me like they're having a completely different conversation - one where Vanessa is asking him to open up to her and let her share his burdens, which is consistent with the rest of their relationship. And it seems like to me that that conversation takes place after his Avengers rejection, given that she says he got knocked down and can't get back up again (although this is debatable), and if so, implies that she stays with him beyond that and tries to help him out of the resulting depression. Since Wade has previously imposed his own ideas of what Vanessa would want and believe about him over what she's actually been saying, that seems consistent to their previous issues. And it's exhausting to try again and again to get someone to open up and share with you when you can clearly tell there's a problem and not be allowed in or allowed to help. I can't blame her for not being able to handle that after a while!

But even after their breakup, she still cares for him and wants him to be in her life, or else why would she be in his family picture and at his birthday party? She's still happy to be seated next to him and hold his hand, no matter what else the ending meant. The fact that their relationship has ended didn't change that. Maybe the fact that Wade found a purpose again (I don't think that it would necessarily be superheroing that she would want, but Wade's self-worth is tied up in 'proving' he's important, and saving the universe gave him a boost there) made her hopeful that they could rekindle their relationship with less of those problems, maybe she was just happy to hear that he still cared deeply for her - with how awkward their interaction was the first time around, I could see that - but she wasn't put off by it in the least. Their closeness is important to her, no matter what their relationship is, and I'm glad that whatever else, dp&w kept that.

And if I said that I think Vanessa treated Wade poorly in Deadpool and Wolverine, and that I think she was a complete dickhead for asking him to "prove" his live after everything he went through for her. What then?

And what if I said Logan treated him better theought the entire movie than Vanessa did in the last 2 films of the trilogy? And that they had more chemistry and soft moments? What then?

Shoto’s fight with Izuku during the sports festival is definitely shoto’s version of the river scene!! And the amount of times he’s thought of their fight during his own battles is so..?!?

"There are moments where [Juan] manipulates other people in a similar the way they’ve been manipulating him. The scene between Jeremy and myself with the dagger is a last ditch frantic attempt at trying to win [Rodrigo] over." Do you think Juan was genuine in the knife scene? Do you think he would have killed himself? "Yeah I think so. He always does what is true inside him...It wasn’t simply about the eventual confrontation, but all about the richness of this twisted family make-up."

my bad in advance for the long inbox, feel free to ignore if it's annoying 🙏

squid game x aftg but specifically the pairs with the marble game and who i think would die and how. Since it's pairs in the game I'll only do duo pairs for this one and it'll be the more popular pairs...... BY THE WAY, PLEASE free to argue against any and all of these (this goes to you and whoever see em). ALSO LAST THING BEFORE I BEGIN, i think most if not all pairs are capable of finding out the loophole for this game but for the sake of angst... let's pretend they don't lol.

Andreil:

Most would believe that Andrew would die for Neil but for me, that's not the case. Neil would 100% do like Ji-Yeong (240) did in the series and trick Andrew into winning. I can see both versions, let me be clear. But Neil is the "fell WAY harder" of the two and this man walked through fire in a cult and subjected himself to torture willingly just because of a vague threat to Andrew's safety. I highly doubt he wouldn't be more desperate than Andrew to ensure the other wins. Not to mention, he's an S-tier liar and gaslighter as well lmao.

Kevdrew:

Andrew sacrifices himself 100%. But I can't decide if they do it fair and square or if he tricks Kevin. Like, in my head I know Kevin wins. He just has that survivor's luck but I can't figure out how since the only way I see Andrew dying for someone is by protecting them. So, by that logic I'd have to argue he dies getting shot by a guard maybe after Kevin loses the game but before he gets eliminated, Andrew reacts first?

Kevneil:

Alright now for these two, I'm taking two things into consideration. Like the previous, Kevin has survivor's luck, I can't see him losing (this won't age well.) and also, Neil plays martyr. However, I can see them deciding to play a fair and square match to truly decide. No tricks or anything, just a complete 50/50 game that Kevin happens to win.

KevJean:

Remember how I said Kevin not losing won't age well? Yeah. This is the bad age. I can see Jean trying to die for Kevin, but man do I love the image of Kevin's guilt eating him alive from what happened to them so he decides to sabotage himself. This one might ooc, I cannot lie. But I think I can allow at least of these to be self-interest, no? For the sake of accuracy though, Jean would definitely try to make sure Kevin lives. I can see that 100%.

Jerejean:

Ouch. Okay so this one I just.... Sigh. Okay Jean dies here. It's just a gut wrenching feeling that I know he does. The image I see the most is Jeremy hesitating to do something he knows might kill him, not wanting Jean to die but that instinct of self-preservation is too much. So Jean notices and decides to do it for him. He makes the decision and bang, just like that he's dead and Jeremy's watching with wide eyes and shaky hands wondering what if he weren't such a coward.

Alright that's PT.1, I'll cut it off here because I'm sure this already a lot of yapping nobody gives a fuck about BUUUUUT on the off chance you liked it, lmk if you want a PT.2 because I have yaps for each pair in the series....

+ Squid Game Anon?

HI SQUID GAME ANON FEEL FREE TO GIVE MORE OF YOUR TAKES OMG I LOVE TO HEAR IT and i had the biggest squid game brainrot when it came out so its like two worlds colliding hehe

i actually agree with andreil i think neil would 100% sacrifice himself but andrew would have to be tricked because there is also no way andrew would let neil sacrifice himself so it would just be emotional damage either way 😭

i agree with andrew sacrificing himself for kevin too but i genuinely think kevin would realise what andrew is playing at and he would be so pissed and upset and try so hard to tell andrew to at least try. he needs to try and be the best and play the good fight but andrew might play it off bored til his last breath?? (we’ve concluded from the car accident that andrew does not mind sacrificing himself in the process) so i think that’s how it would go.

with kevneil i see kevin winning too actually, but i truly believe neil would sacrifice himself for kevin… like i genuinely think neil values the lives of his foxes more than his own ((reference to tkm)) so yeah…

and yeah…. atp im just convinced everyone would sacrifice themselves for kevin 😭😭 because i genuinely believe jean would sacrifice himself for kevin ((also a lot to do with the fact he tried to commit…)) but i also believe kevin would want to play a fair game against jean and he would once again try his best for his opponent to try their best and have it be a fair game because like u said the guilt would eat him alive…

AND YOUR TAKE ON JEREJEAN WHERE JEREMY IS STILL THINKING IT THROUGH TO SACRIFICE HIMSELF AND THEN JEAN BEATS HIM TO IT…. OH I NEED TO KMS
