Mon 23rd jan 2023 journal (con 2:47am)
I need to actually do things. I need to actually try things. Try new things. I think the only thing I like to do is edibles and thatās because I want to do things and have more fun doing them but like I only sit and think a lot so thatās all i know. I need to start doing. This is why people are having fun with life because theyāre doers. i see the person I should be in my head and I want to be him cause I feel like heās a better version of the person breathing right now. Itās like I want to evolve but in imagination only idk. Somethings not marry the action to fulfill my dreams. I really like putting clothes together. I like styling myself. Itās something I take great pride in actually. Idk if Iāve abandoned the idea of fashion too quickly for my liking but itās something that I want to pick up now. I like how pieces come together. I know fuck all about designers though or anything like that but I go by eye for all of my fits. Eyes and feelings. If it feels wrong even if it looks right I wonāt wear it because I donāt have the confidence to stand behind the choice all day. So I make sure that everything is right. I put a lot of thought into what I wear because itās one of the strongest versions of myself that I know currently. I donāt really struggle with style I donāt think. I like how itās completely my own . Idk people who dress like me. I should be reading more about fashion. I think my tiredness is ruining my life: itās getting in the way of me processing things because I get headaches when Iām tired and donāt want to/ canāt focus on things properly so I end up doing minimal or not doing it at all and then worrying about whether Iām good enough. But Iāve clocked that when Iām not tired Iām more responsive to things and people and can think quicker and better and Iām overall a better person to be around. A lot of people get the very tired version of me. Itās like a perpetually tired version of me has been seen by everyone for the past 3 years that thatās kinda what they expect. I also notice I donāt move my face a lot when I meet people so I think they think I have an issue with them when really I just donāt know what I look like when I smile so I just donāt. Wow wait is it because I donāt have braces that I feel like this. Iām heavily tied to the aesthetical value of myself. sometimes to my detriment. and my pride is high. very taurus of me. my moon sign is Taurus. I think Iām lying to myself about the acting industry. I have to be honest and say that I donāt like it. I donāt like how things are. The sending emails to agents, picking showcase material, finding commercial audio scripts idk man itās very business heavy rather than artist heavy. I feel like very little of this business is about my art compared to how I market my art. I donāt know if I love being on camera. I think I like stage better. Iām still trying to figure out if I can have a career in audio. I still think Iām chasing the wrong thing. I think Iām chasing status/fame and fortune and can you really blame me? Itās whatās been pumped into my brain ever since I was a child. All my inspirations had that way of life. Iām thinking of gym class heroes x viva la white girl. Iām trying to hard to get things right and I think people read that as anxiety and I do it so naturally that I come across as shy to people. I think Iāve built my life around having close friends or at least building very close connections with multiple people. Itās a problem now. Cause Iāll think every person is meant for me cause Iām trying to build a really close connection with them when in reality itās not that and it shouldnāt be that. Iām easily offended but I donāt react to things. Very Taurus of me. And by Taurus I get mean archetypal energy being presented to the world. Itās 3:17am. Still awake. Iāve never given myself the chance to be myself in my own house. I feel like a fraud. Maybe thatās why I donāt like being in my body sometimes. I donāt know myself enough to know whether I want to be in it or not. It can be reflected in how I act professionally as well. Con.. 3:19am

Harringrove tag game! by @lovebillyhargrove
I was tagged by @mrsblackruby! tysm!! <3
1. Do they get together BEFORE MF possessing Billy or AFTER shit goes down? (Or maybe DURINGš²)
Typically I say before, like at around Christmas time in ā84. I think anybody in a small town puts aside character prejudices around the holidays and tries to make those connections with everyone, so Iāve always felt, especially since the fight was literally only a month before, that Steve would reach out to Billy the night of the Snowball and things would, well, snowball from there.
2. Who kisses who first?
Definitely Steve. I firmly stand by the hc that Billyās never kissed a boy before Steve, and maybe Steve hasnāt either, but heās the romantic, no way is he going to let Billy kiss him first.
3. Where do they have their first sex? (Location) (HJs and BJs count)
I donāt really have a solid answer for this? But definitely somewhere very spur of the moment, maybe somebodyās couch or the locker rooms?
4. Who says š I LOVE YOU š first?
Imma say Billy. Opposite of my last answer, I donāt feel like either of them would say they love each other on accident or like, in the moment. I think their first I love youād would be very very controlled. I also think Billy has less experience with actually being in love, so when the time comes that heās actually mustered up the courage to say it to Steve, I think heās super nervous and practices the perfect scenario in his head a dozen times. Itās definitely not blurted out.
5. I believe this fandom is way past having hard feelings about it, so
BottomSteve! or BottomBilly?
I donāt have a strong opinion either way, but typically, I prefer bottom!Steve. No particular reason, thatās just the way I tend to read things!
6. Do they give gifts to each other?
Absolutely! Billy doesnāt have the disposable income to run out and buy Steve new things every time he wants to give him something, so I think he does a really cheesy like, giving him a kiss as a present and making a big deal out of it.
Steve is sort of the same way, in that he doesnāt like to give Billy material things, because he doesnāt want him to think heās being pretentious or trying to hold his wealth over Billyās head like heās his mom or something, so he only gives Billy personal things. Old pilled t-shirts to wear to bed and a blanket to keep on the couch in his room that smells like him. Things like that.
They also try to make eachother things as presents, like food or little knick knacks in art class, but they always fail miserably and think itās really funny when all they have to show is a smoking mess.
7. Where do they end up living? California, Chicago, Hawkins... Idk .. Alaska??)))) Any other location?
I honestly think they stay in Hawkins. I donāt think after everything Billy would be able to leave Max behind, and I also think that Steve would like having a connection to where he grew up, even if bad things happened there. If they did leave though, I see them going down south, maybe tourist trap Tennessee?
8. What are their future jobs?
In my mind that very much depends on if weāre following canon and this is post Starcourt or like, if itās a whole new AU. Because after that I donāt think Billy would actually ever be physically well enough to work again. I know itās a pretty unpopular opinion, bc the general hc is that he bounces back within a year or so with some scars (which is cool! Iām not knocking that Iām just sayin) but I think he'd be permanently disabled, on oxygen support 24/7, and just with all sorts of health complications from, you know, literally having a gaping hole in his chest, that would make it impossible for him to work. In that sort of scenario I usually think of Steve as a being teacher or an artist, something that he doesnāt have very long work hours or can do from home so he can be there to take care of Billy.
If weāre going with like, a no upside down or a Billy is never hurt au, I think he stays in Hawkins and just works in some sort of a mom and pop until heās the new manager, like at an antique store maybe?
(p.s. stay tuned for an upcoming fic about Billy working in a fix-it shop!!)
As for Steve, I feel like he wouldnāt ever be able to settle on one career when he didnāt have limitations. I donāt really know what heād eventually decide is his calling, maybe design of some sort? Jewelry making?
This is a hard question, I donāt really see them as being tied down to one career indefinitely, but I do know I donāt see either of them ever working desk jobs.
9. Who's a better cook?
Neither of them. Billy wasnāt allowed in the kitchen growing up because Neil said itās a woman's place, and Steve is just god awful at following directions, like, canāt tell the difference between a teaspoon and a tablespoon or preheat the oven awful. They just eat takeout and like, cold sandwiches literally all the time until someone (Joyce) notices and teaches them how to cook on the weekends.
10. Steve Hargrove or Billy Harrington?
Billy Harrington. I donāt see him wanting to be a Hargrove anymore. He has no positive ties to the name with his mom leaving and his dad being his dad, so I think heād want to take Steveās last name. Also this is kinda weird but I am VERY particular about my middle name hcs (I think itās an ocd thing? idk) and I have an alliterative name for Steve that wouldnāt work if he was a Hargrove instead of a Harrington, so thatās also part of the reason.
11. What's Max's reaction when she hears they're together?
I think probably just like, confusion. Not over Billy being with a boy, but over that boy being Steve. Like, she doesnāt know Steve well, but she knows heās the responsible big brother to Dustin, and thatās the exact opposite of what her brother is like, so it catches her off guard. Sheās definitely a little gossip though, wanting all the not-gross details about Steve from her brother. Sheās basically just a little sister about it, I guess.
12. Describe in ONE SENTENCE Hopper's reaction when he hears the names Hargrove and Harrington mentioned together?
Not again.
13. Does Robin like Billy OR does Robin hate Billy?
I think she likes him. I have a little hc that she and him were together in an underground pre-gsa kinda thing in high school. She pretends she canāt stand him, but the two of them are quick best friends. (this might just be me but I think the two of them together would give statler and waldorf vibes)
14. What about Dustin?
Dustin I think actually thinks Billy is really cool. Like, heās like a little double agent, hearing from Max all the annoying things about Billy, and from Steve the good things. Heāll gag if Steve gets too mushy over him and heāll definitely join in with Max in calling Billy gross, and he also absolutely gives Billy a (very non-intimidating. heās too soft) shovel talk, but I think he really likes and looks up to Billy as like, his other big brother.
15. Fav Harringrove AU?
Oh gosh, I canāt even pick. I think I like childhood friends aus best? Theyāre really fun to play with and it always ends up being super sweet. Iām a big fan of soulmates too for kind of the same reasons. I like mushy stuff.
16. Billy+Camaro=...??? (Not strictly Harringrove, but I can't not to ..)
I honestly donāt think Billy cares about the camaro that much. Heād be sad when it gets totaled because that was his only way of getting around and also his first car, but I donāt think the car itself has that much value to him. I mean, he treats it with absolutely zero respect, jumping curbs and driving too fast and slamming on those breaks. The camaro is just a car. š¤·š»āāļø
Iāll tag: @lifegaurd-hargrove85! @deardmvz! and @strangebrainrot! no pressure! and as usual, if anybody else sees this and wants to participate, feel free!

so, as everybody knows, our man, the lovely mark strong, turned 57 this past august 5th
since the kingsman films have had a huge influence on several aspects of my day-to-day life (gee, wonder what group of people i could be referring to...), i decided to sit down and do something iāve been thinking about since getting my medical card earlier this year: getting high as a kite and watching them back-to-back.
to celebrate markās birthday, i decided to do another running commentary post like the one i did for rocknrolla ages ago, under the cut. itās a pretty similar style, which is to say not necessarily super coherent and might be hard to understand if youāve never seen the movies. D:
there are some mentions of the roanoke society, but not many.
if even just one person finds this mildly entertaining for four seconds, then iāll have done my job. there is a lot of cursing and this is NOT spoiler-free.
enjoy~
edited 9.1.20 to correct typos and such, please remember that i was Not Sober while i wrote this lmao
how many times have i watched these movies at this point? i donāt even know. Ā
i always liked the nifty likeāretro arcade marv opening animation
and the thing with the tapes! we love book-ending devices!
kingsman: badass motherfuckers worldwide incorporated
like why was merlin even with them? i understand why lee and james would be there, but merlin, was he not acting quartermaster then?
i have SO MANY FEELINGS about lee unwin
i think it haunts harry and merlin more than anyone thinks, but these are fun spy movies so we just donāt talk about trauma and shit, donātcha know
donāt look at how merlin tears up and tell me he doesnāt drink about it *HEAVILY* later
itās such a stark contrast to see the 1990s interior vs. what itās like when eggsyās grown :(
michelle baby iām so sorry. you deserved better than this.
and BABY EGGSY
omg. like this scene is both heartbreaking but is also adorable.
colin firth has gd anime legs, that dude had to straight up unfold himself as he stood up lmao
aaannnnd swooping logo, whooooo, goinā over some mountains~
and mark hamill, ladies and gentlemen!
this whole thing with james deciding to kinda go rogue makes me wish that we knew more about his backstory as well. like, is this james being james, or was this a weird one-off situation and he was just unlucky?
YES unlucky. nobody could plan for the hurricane of sleek destruction that is gazelle
who has one of my favorite aesthetic designs as a villain (although i guess iād put her more on maybe henchman level? but idk, it seems like valentine looked at her more as a partner, less like an assistant? and they had a very interesting chemistry together too, like i wouldāve added more valentine x gazelle scenes)
i would LOVE to be this chill about justādraping blankies over bodies
blankies over bodies sounds like a cool band name
DIBS you guys canāt have it
i am SO GLAD samuel l. jackson gave valentine a lisp!
valentine, to me, does fit a lot of the usual spy movie villain tropes
but since this movie doesnāt take itself super serious, itās more fun than annoying
and we never hear about any of the other knights?? like
half of this is just gonna be me whining for additional footage that there just wouldnāt have been room for realistically lmao
michael caine, you are lovely
MARK STRONG, LADIES AND GENTLEMAN
WITH LEGS THAT DONāT QUIT AND AN ACCENT THAT IāD DIE FOR
iām an embarrassment
like letās all stop and thank god that mark didnāt have time to learn the welsh accent
not that i wouldāve been disappointed, because all accents are good accents on this blog
but at this point i canāt imagine merlin asānot scottish
ātry picking a more suitable candidate this timeā
arthur you DICK
like were you this cold-blooded when lee died, you fuckinā reptilian-ass son of a bitch
no wonder you were charlieās pledge person thing
and enter the fabulous taron egerton, stage left!
DEAN you are DISGUSTING
god, michelle, you need better friends, if you were my bro this entire relationship wouldāve never happened
;-; and eggsyās so sweet with his sister! i know there probably wasnāt āroomā for it but i AM glad that there are scenes showing that family is one of eggsyās kinda ācore valuesāor whatever you want to call it
dude is a hufflepuff through and through imo
can you imagine eggsy as a villain? we would be so fucked. heās sly, heās smart, he couldāve made life v e r y difficult for lots of people if he really wanted to
but look at him with the squad!
eggsyās just like the british version of a good olā boy
this car scene is some dukes of hazzard bullshit (ramp-jumping and fun car horn aside)
if butterflies are harryās main symbolic critter, would foxes be eggsyās? or would it be a pug instead? i guess thatās like asking if harry would be either a butterfly or a cairn terrier, like mr. pickle. letās say both.
this fandom is pretty on top of character associations like that
you get symbolic associations! YOU get symbolic associations! EVERYONE gets symbolic associations whether theyāre actually in the canon or not! donāt have any? donāt worry, weāll assign you at least one!
the guy playing the interviewing officer is ALSO the patriarch in the witch which i didnāt realize untilālike, a while after
and it was while @circlesofboneā was visiting, and we were just āoh, okay, guess we canāt escape this cast at all, this is fineā
āyour father saved my life.ā
harry youāre such a fucking peacock, waiting all posted up and posing so youāll look cool
you big doofus
iād kill to be inside his head during this first conversation with eggsy though
like is eggsy like lee? is harry seeing lee the entire time heās talking to his son, in his mannerisms, how he carries himself, how he speaks?
or is eggsy the opposite? whichāi donāt know if that would somehow be sadder?
thereās just a lot going on in the background of this bit thatās left up to interpretation
āalthough iām sure itās well-foundedāā
harryās just so casual about this entire thing, nobodyās that casual without practice
harry you rabble-rouser, what kind of life have you led
āmanners. maketh. man.ā
our timeless motto, my flowers
kingsman STILL to this DAY has some of the most well-choreographed fight scenes iāve ever seen??
like yeah the church scene but even just this initial bar fight
harry couldāve been a dancer
in a way i guess he already is
like he moves so fluidly and gracefully, it is BONKERS
colin you did so good! iām so proud!
the way eggsyās just O.O
whether or not you ship hartwin, like, you gotta admit, that was hot
and his BODY LANGUAGE, heās sitting like RAMROD straight, this poor dude lmao
nobody prepares you for a situation like that in public school is all iām saying
harry, exiting stage left like a suave, smooth motherfucker
remember when iggy azalea was relevant
ugghhhh i hate this part
āI WASNāT WITH NO ONEā
can you imagine being harry hart listening to your dead friendās son getting the shit beat out of him
like, surely he heard the cleaver, he knows dean was going to fucking gut eggsy right?
listen to how cold and icy his voice gets, oof
yeah, heās pissed, and dean is lucky
PARKOUR
ugh, i want to go to london ;-; i want to walk in front of the shop and visit harryās house and kiss cute english boys
iād like to think harryās super excited to show eggsy everything but heās gotta keep it dialed back because ādecorumā
the way eggsy pauses though
ācome on.ā
and he says it so softly.
if i was eggsy, iād be nervous, too.
but i didnāt realize how quickly harry tries to give off signals like āhey thereās no reason to be scared.ā
ālike my fair lady?ā āwell, youāre full of surprises.ā <3 one of my favorite sceneeesss.
harryās voice is so soothing but eggsy is so freaked out by the elevator that heās justāthereās no room for anything else beyond processing the elevator lmao
āhow deep does this fucking thing go?ā asking the real questions
aannnddd KINGSMAN BULLET TRAIN
iād like to think they have like soft jazz or something playing in there
and then they get to the hangar and there are obviously a buuuuunch of people out on the tarmac that we justānever hear about? i just assume theyāre all like technical officers or maybe other agents
āyour father had the same look on his face. ā¦ as did i.ā
harry is already rooting for him.
ālate again, sir.ā
that. brogue.
fuck, i could listen to him talk for hours, scottish accents are my favorite thing
#squadgoals
not a very diverse cast :/
the body bag speeeeech
and of course nobody was in any actual danger, but merlin doesnāt want them to know that so he becomes mr. hard as steel, i am emotionally stoic at all times, do not test me you bunch of rugrats
āclassic army technique.ā
ROXY
ROXY I WANT TO JUST HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS TT.TT
aannnnddd charlie, also
who we mightāve found sympathy for if we knew aaannyytthiinnggg else about his backstory
like, could he just be Like That, yeah
but most people i know who are assholes like that are that way because their parents were first /shrug/
can hardly fault the dude for turning out like that when poison was all he was given to drink
anyone else a hundred percent positive they wouldāve drowned in the first trial
i would absolutely have panicked and bit it
but then again, iām not kingsman material, iām roanoke
and if this is the exact same test that merlin and harry went through, does that mean there might be some weird drowning trauma hidden back in there thatās just ANOTHER thing weāre not gonna talk about?
(yes the correct answer is yes)
god thatās such an american response to the problem though
glass canāt cause problems if itās in a million pieces!
āyeah you can wipe those smirks off your facesā¦ā
i wonder if there was ever a situation where a trainee actually drowned
and i donāt mean like amelia, i mean some poor kid who just failed the test
merlin knows how to put the fear of god in people though!
and mark strong, very handsome, yes, very scary, also yes
he and colin both look like theyāre 80 percent leg in every single scene
harry literally had brain matter smatter ALL OVER HIS FACE and still somehow had the mental facilities to be aware of those dudes, leave a bomb and dive out of a window (and then escape said dudes)
billy badass, yāall
ājust get it done.ā okay, i took back what i said earlier, maybe he does see her as more of an assistant, less than a partner. their relationship is weird.
the puppy scene!
āitās a bulldog innit?ā
YASSSS the golden trio
because of what happened with our other canon charlie has become a weird character for me to watch, like, yeah, i āwatchā charlie be himself in tss but the charlie i āseeā is likeāāourā charlie.
ābollocks!ā and then he just runs with jb in his vest, makes me smile
aannddd we see valentineās super cool factory
harry your hair gets so long <3
āwater!ā wow, who wants to bet that the fact he was instantly screaming means that maybe heās gonna have some stuff to talk about in therapy later
roxy baby iām sorry they made you hold the balloon and have to trust these dumbasses to not shoot you on accident
i would trust roxy to not shoot me
i love, love love valentineās house
itās gorgeous
set design is always such a cool way for filmmakers to include details about a character using pure aesthetics and iām such a slut for it
tilde!
see also: one of the characters done the WORST by these movies imo!
the fact that she not only says no, she says no with enthusiasm and gets blatantly pissed, is one of the best insights we get into tildeās character and then it justāgets wasted
like it takes three steps and then gets mowed down in the hallway like her guards
i would never be given the opportunity to be asked if i wanted an implant but i draw the line at having stuff put into my neck
awwww harryās so proud!
that finger point āyeah, see, be more like your uncleā
merlin is SO TALL
āa bit much innit?ā
heās justātapping a normal clipboard
ā¦ nobody wanna talk about how thatās a normal clipboard
anyway
i also love how they show him in professor sweaters for the beginning acts of the movie
definitely a softer aesthetic than one would guess for a dude who apparently did field missions sometime within the past decade or so, but i also have a theory that leeās death directly contributed to merlin maybe being the man behind the screen as opposed to afield
because trauma is a thing but this is a FUN movie so weāre NOT gonna talk about it
āyouāre gonna be all right. youāre top of the class!ā this was the scene that made my mom a reggsy shipper
regardless of how you feel about them as a couple, their friendship is one of the best things about this movie, along with their dynamic with charlie, asjdnaskdjna WHY could we not have had a trio movie instead
eggsy you show-off ālemme just throw my arms up and dip outta this plane like itās not a big dealā
roxy you can do it!
ugh, there goes my baby, off to have a near-death experience under merlinās immediate supervision lmao
āgood girl, rox, glad you made it!ā
guys, theyāre just kids.
i love this big group scene because it reminds us that these are just young folks, still
āmy, my, youāre all very cheerful...ā
ārufus, come on!ā dude eggsyāand not even just eggsy, charlie and rox too--at least made an attempt at teamwork. you get points for that bro
but man, for all they know, theyāre about to beef it in a very permanent way, iād be freaking out too
merlin getting caught up in the drama
because again, heās supposed to know that eggsy has a parachute
i think he wasnāt prepared for these two to get that close to not making it and thatās why we see him break face and drop his mug
*WHAM*
i HATE the sound of them landing
itās not like you can hear bones breaking but it hurts me, guys
and then there were three
plus one daddy long legs quartermaster
āif you have a complaint you come here and you whisper it in my ear.ā
yes SIR
āyou need to take that chip off your shoulder.ā
merlin comingā in with the tough love portion of the kingsman core squad
thereās no reason for me to think harryās persona was inspired by cruella de ville somehow but i do anyway
she reveals the mcdonaldās and valentine is just :D
idk if he was expecting a specific reaction or was just excited to see a reaction period
valentine is definitely a fun villain, which, given the tone of the movie, makes sense, itās all supposed to be fun
one of the reasons i love kingsman is that itās like, this golden ray of goofy cinematic fuckery in a world of grim!dark remakes and other superhero/spy films who are presented as more serious stories
āand thank you for such aāhappy, meal.ā
harry got a puppy smile
but see, then, here at his house heās a lot more relaxed with gazelle! like, patting her butt, etc.
maybe what we see of their relationship is dependent on setting, because valentine himself has it compartmentalized?
perrrrrrhaps
āand i am never, EVER GOING TO AGREE!ā
tilde, you deserved better, and i think all the weird hate you get from our ohana is unfair
you donāt twist a runnerās ankle before the race starts and then get mad when they donāt win
your story was mishandled from the beginning
asmr: hanging out with the golden trio watching worrying news in the kingsman trainee bunker room
the way he says ābiblical senseā lmao
i have never been able to figure out if the way he says that line is supposed to infer spiritual respect, or lack of it, but i might be looking too into it
āitās an acquired taste, mate.ā
whatāwhat would you even do if you were at a club and three people as hot as taron, ed and sophie all came up and start talking to you at the same time
like i know the target got up and left pretty quick because of the training exercise
but iād be doing it because iām ugly and if three hot people are all talking me up at a bar something is Bad and Wrong
whichāthe CAHONES on both eggsy and roxy
they both literally said āyeah iām willing to die for this organization that hasnāt even given me a permanent place yet, what of itā
look at harryās dimples in this scene, he is fighting a huge grin, heās SO PROUD
i know that charlieās response is supposed to be just more fodder into the ācharlie hesketh is a toolā fire
but given that iām not unconvinced that his home life wasnāt super shitty, likeā
idk, this makes this scene a lot less fun to me. it makes it sad.
like, maybe charlie didnāt even want to be there deep down, maybe this was all for like, arthur, or his dad, or some other person he looked up to
and the way merlin looks when he tells charlie to go home, the way that heās kinda grimacing? iām wondering if heās along the same kind of feeling. heād know more about charlieās history
have i also mentioned how much i love harryās war room?
āYES harry!ā
an evil plan is being born!
ātrue nobility is being superior to your former self.ā
eggsy is still in his club clothes, so likeāhas he slept? yāall let those kids sleep after fucking drugging them, right? ā¦ guys?
āāwhen one is popping ones cherry.ā
and eggsy is just CHEESING he is SO EXCITED
am i the only one who wants to learn more about the store clerk guy though?
heās like the one person around whoās legit just there to run the shop
has no idea about any of the spy stuff happening
his name is donald, heās married with three children and has two spaniels he loves
āTHAT is sick.ā
i would KILL for this room.
i donāt need anything in here for any reason but still
foreshadowing, foreshadowing, foreshadowing, more foreshadowingā
harry is such a NERD
āput it back, eggsy.ā
the amount of self-control it would take to not have a sudden change in expression in that moment, omg
i wonder how THAT gets trained up in kingsman
āi guarantee it.ā ha, get it, itās a reference to that one commercial
āyāallātalk so funny.ā
and this all means that they had a contact at that hat shop and got all that info to them before valentine got there, and somehow made sure he did end up buying a hat that they could also successfully put a bug on, how deep does this goooooo
ājack bauer?ā
it says a lot about eggsy that out of all the jbās it couldāve been, it was jack
uggghhhhhh of course they HAD to do this scene with eggsy with arthur
obviously harry couldnāt do it
i just think most of us would NOT be fans of arthur at this point in the movie, weāre all rooting for eggsy, like, he needs this moment with this other character because we gotta drive home that heās an asshole
alsoāwould have absolutely failed that test
and iām not sorry at all
āwelcome to kingsman--lancelot.ā
i was really happy that it was a female agent who ended up getting the handle
aannddd more echoes of past scenes, man, nobody can say that this crew wasnāt intentional with their cinematography
when eggsy rolls the window down you can see his chest moving up and down, like, he is MAD
dean you asshole
so no wonder he gets so pissed that the car suddenly decides ānope, no, weāre not doing this, cāmonā
this entire conversation at harryās house isātense
and you donāt pick up on it the first time, i donāt think, but uh
iām seeing it now
harryās not just mad, heās hurt, and eggsyās furious but heās also maybe regretting his actions.
itās these two men who are rapidly trying to figure out their headspaces and trying to figure out how to navigate this situation with each other
and the way eggsy tries to apologize ;-;
kentucky is a beautiful state, actually
ohhhhhh yāalllll
weāre at the churrrccchhhh
weāre gettinā closer to the coolest part of the movieeeee
itās telling that gazelle was trying to make sure that theyād be safe
āā¦ so hail satan, and have a lovely afternoon madame.ā
the most metal lines colin firth has ever uttered on camera
the siren noise after itās switched on bothers me in a way i canāt quite articulate
it might be because i have silent hill-colored trauma, who knows
FREEEEEE
BIIIRRRDDDDDDD
THE GREATEST ACTION TRACKING SHOT IN THE HISTORY OF CINEMA
but then eggsy and merlin are reacting aaaanndddd itāsāa lot less fun
because you realize that theyāre watching their bro mercilessly slaughter innocent people and not stopping
and still not stopping
and still not stopping
but plot twist, iām really glad they kept the track going, because if theyād suddenly picked *this* part of the scene to get serious, that wouldāve brought the mood down so low that i donāt think there wouldāve been any bouncing back
i just
how do people exist who arenāt attracted to harry hart
that man is a machine
and colin worked so hard to be able to do the scene himself, and that work SHOWS, that man cuts a FIGURE
i donāt know how they managed to somber it up just the right amount, either? maybe because they waited for the āfun action sequenceā to be over so there wouldnāt need to be noise that had to be masked by a fun rock track?
āā¦ what did you do to me.ā
i cannot imagine what harry was feeling in that moment.
the way he spoke it was like he didnāt even have time to be afraid to die
āthat tends to happen when you shoot somebody in the head. feels good, right?ā
āno, it does not feel good!ā
i love that exchange because we normally hear the opposite.
alsoāwhiplash.
mark has this way of expressing grief without showing anyāblatant signs.
like merlinās not especially tearful, or crying, but his eyes look MASSIVE. and SAD. and he has just the tiiiiiniest tremor in his voice.
and eggsy, dude, like, weāve all had it come on us really quick and suddenly itās like your chest is pumping like a piston and when did it get so hard to breathe?
ARTHUR you REPULSE me
like look at how egssyās shoulders sag when he realizes that arthur isnāt on his team
and in a way, this is eggsyās final test as a kingsman trainee, imo
do you realize how quickly he had to assess what was happening and figure out what to do, all without arthur noticing?
āyou are all alone. it is all up to you. remember all you have learned. good luck.ā
itās a veryāalmost horror-esque situation from that pov
and he passed with flying colors to go on his first true mission, because after he puts on the suit, thatās his visual cue of graduating, if that makes sense
thatās the knight putting on his armor.
āiād rather be with harry. thanks.ā
āso be it.ā
*click*
me: *laughing at arthurās big dumb stupid head*
ā¦ man iād love a replica of that decanter and glasses set though
not to mention that eggsy recognized the flaws in arthurās character and weaponized them, which is a whole other level of shit that isnāt necessarily easy; he knew that arthur carried the kind of pride that would leave him open
god, he looks so exhausted though when rox has him at gunpoint.
i think he was being pretty serious, about harry
sick helipaaaaaaad
that thing looks vaguely like a rock-āem sock-āem robot but in pieces though
more grandpa sweaters <3
man. you can see roxy swallow, you know sheās scared, but then she just sets her jaw andā
roxy baby you are the best i love you
i like the vintage vibe of the mountain lair
i think thatās another visual poke at the aesthetic themes of some of the older, og spy flicks out there
merlin looks SO LANKY walking back to the plane for some reason??
he stays until the last second for roxy. thatās love right there.
āa bespoke suit always fits.ā
which can be good spiritual life advice too but thatās a separate conversation
āwhat the fuck is WRONG with you people?ā
and his fuckinā disco ball
uuggggghhhhh his speech reminds me of so manyā¦ āpublic figuresā that i dislike
even though itās obviously a bad thing that the chips are everywhere, i appreciate that phones and such are being shown in a positive manner (like, michelle talking to someone in the park, people at a ball game taking selfies, people at the beach, etc.) because i get so sick of that anti-tech boomer humor tbh
and the big reveal of eggsy in his suitttt
A KNIGHT IS BORN
āhowās the view?ā
āhideous.ā
youāre allowed to be crabby baby, you just let it out.
ālookinā good, eggsy.ā
āfeelinā good, merlin.ā
merlin is so calm heading into the fortress and i donāt know if itās because heās very, very good at compartmentalizing and thatās genuinely how he is at the moment or if heās that way through extreme self-control and effort
he can rock a pilotās uniform though
just like eggsy can rock a suit
theyāre both so handsome, help
i also wonder how eggsyās feeling right then
like, iād imagine that the pressure of having to perform a role to literally save the world would be enough to distract him from the bite of grief
thatāsāprobably enough to distract everyone, tbh
i a hundred percent believe there are breakdowns we donāt see
i wonder if eggsy told tilde heād spoken to lindstrum(sp?) after everything was said and done
like, thatād be some kind of weird foreshadowing in hindsight
this scene is anxiety-inducing in a big way so to distract myself i imagine roxy as a mech pilot
dude iād totally watch sophie in a role like that, like, let her be in a movie like pacific rim, sheād kick ass
and now we have The Chaos
otherwise known as that point when Everything Is Happening All At Once All The Time
also a thing that doesnāt exist in spy movies: hearing damage
because like his voice is right in eggsyās ear and without it heād have a LOT harder time surviving
imagine being an agent, merlin trying to talk to you, but something either hits your ear or goes off right next to it and suddenly itās just silent
SYSTEM FAILURE
YAAASSSSS
WE WIN
GGOOOAAAAALLLLLL
THE AUDIENCE IS DOING THE WAVE
except JUST KIDDING
The Chaos 2 Electric Boogaloo!
merlin with a huge gun: hot, also, very scary
eggsy is just 10000% done
āthis is mine. iāll show you yours.ā
i wonder who e man was supposed to be that valentine called.
like is that a reference to a real person that i just didāt catch?
ā¦ elon musk? maybe? idk
eggsy slides like a gd anime character
when he uses the rainmaker, itās just like harryās protecting him from somewhere else
(ohāwait, technically kentucky, i guess)
āmerlin, iām fucked.ā you can hear the anger there. not only did he fail, but heāand everyone elseāis about to die
but this? this is the pinnacle of eggsy showing himself as a kingman agent
he was staring death straight in the mouth and STILL
SOMEHOW
REMEMBERED THE IMPLANTS
so i guess if i say that the moment when he puts on the suit is when he becomes a true agent, then maybe this is the moment when he becomes galahad.
*bobs head to pomp & circumstance*
i remember getting a huge kick out of how colorful they made this
because in real life you know a bunch of people literally blowing up would be likeāDISGUSTING
viscera everywhere
no fun rainbow mushroom clouds
āiāve always wanted to kiss a princess.ā
ANOTHER knight reference, very clever matthew
mmmmm Do Not Like that noise
aaaannndddd *that* line
whichāmaybe thatās mr. vaughnās sense of humor, or what he thinks the sense of humor his core demographic has, idk
but it always kinda rubbed me the wrong way
the mass brawl scenes are edited so like--jarringly compared to the other fight scenes in the movie
thatās probably for a reason
also, a showdown to the tune of something disco: kind of another trope homage
this shot of gazelle is so sick, i love everything about it, she is so cool
this entire fight with eggsy is awesome tbh
we got a little bit of what gazelle can look like in combat earlier with tildeās guards, but now we get this epic showdown seeing her at her full potential against someone whoās actually a challenge
and the way valentine is shouting for her to kick his ass from upstairs and yelling encouragement lmao thatās how real friends act when thereās a fight
daisy ;-; ugh, thatās the visual gutpunch that makes it juuuuuust serious enough by reminding us of the stakes
which is why itās fitting that then we see the Slo-Mo K.O.
and that smile with the fun little chimes in the back, lmao
and eggsy, quick on his feet again byyyy being quick on gazelleās feetāfootāwhatever
man, impalement deaths are always fun.
coulda done without the vomiting but thatās also one of valentineās quirks that makes him different from a cookie cutter villain
aaannddd have a heavy sigh from merlin
that dude needs a full-body massage and a drink
āis this where you say some really bad pun?ā
reminder: i love that this movie is self-aware! i could not picture a super serious kingsman movie! i just picture something depressing!
there had to have been a better option besidesāthis, for this eggsy/tilde ending scene
iām not saying iām mad it ended with them fucking, iām mad that the extent of the joke was anal and that was it.
also the idea of my boss possibly seeing me having sex would have me a little more concerned about the hardware on my face, but okay??
aannddd the tapes.
gah, we love visual throwbacks!
we love being able to see that despite all this growth and change, family remains very important to eggsyāhe hasnāt changed into a different person, he has grown more into himself than ever before! THIS! THIS is eggsy unwin!
ā¦ GET READY FOR IT
time for tgc! (and to get into my roanoke feels, maybe, this is the nexus where our canons connect)
the BAGPIPES
okay
i did not stop to consider how unpleasant this was going to be to watch stoned but weāre gonna power through it and get through it together
if i cry i cry
the way the music swells into the main theme <3
and the perfect reveal for our boy eggsy!
reflected in gold, looking sharper than broken glass
and SUDDENLY CHARLIE
the pacing in tgc leads me to believe that matthew had huge plans for this movie, and a lot of cool stuff probably ended up on the cutting room floor for time
i also love that they brought charlie back
i love his voice box and his cool robot arm
and iām not just saying that because it made it super easy to blend him into our canon, either, this is likeācharlieās evil twin in terms of his new aesthetic, the contrast is really cool
YYAASSSS THIS SCENE
WITH PRINCE PLAYING??
*CHEFāS KISS*
like we are IMMEDIATELY thrown back into the gold parts of it all, like how physics is a little broken so we can do cool shit like have a knockdown drag-out fight all within the space of a small cab
i wonder what wouldāve hurt charlie worseābeing thrown onto his organic side, or having all his weight land on his metal arm if it hadnāt disattached
but then heās up and standing so i guess weāre fine?
MERLIN! <3
otherwise known as the character entrance that literally changed my life
i try not to think about it too much or i get weirded out
ANYWAY
(and to think i almost never even saw the movie)
Sick Car Chase, Bro
and as an american, like, everythingās on the opposite side to me, itās stressful to watch a little bit
āi seem to remember in your training you were rather good at holding your breath.ā
man, thatās uhākind of a macabre thing to say, merlin
just a little bit
iām not even gonna attempt to hold my breath to see if iād survive this scene just assume iām dead in that universe
we all live in a kingsman subarmine, a kingsman submarine, a kingsman submarine~~
ānot boasting, but i trained him well enough that even he wouldn't mess that up.ā
merlin are you okay??
gah, i love that chest-deep laugh though.
is it real love if they wonāt crawl through the sewer to get to your house in time
i love that harryās house looks basically the same
i know they talk about eggsy not wanting to change anything in the novelization but i havenāt read it yet so Iām not a hundred percent sure what all is in there
and we still get to see him hanging with his friends, and his girlfriend, like, this dude is still all about the family
āwwwwOOOOO!ā
i love this group so much omg
for as much as heās galahad, heās still eggsy
the transition in the weed bag looks super cool
ā¦ oh, i guess watching this while high makes the main storyline hit a bit different
welp
i love that poppy is an aesthetic slut and really doesnāt give a shit about anyoneās opinion about how she makes her space
like, āi want a big 50s-style diner with a gourmet kitchen that i can cook people in, soooooo iām getting oneā
itās also refreshing to see julianne moore in a bad guy role!
not that iām super familiar with her filmography but i feel like iāve mostly seen her cast as like a good guy?
i could be wrong
awwwww jet and bennie!
thereās so much to love about this set
cannibalism and the fact that she bulldozed jungle to build all this aside (suspend that belief!)
the breakfast sceeeeeene
itās so bittersweet, for obvious reasons
and itās more evidence that heās not super ready to move on into new territory yet, like making new memories with tilde that ring close to home
āi wish i could have met him.ā
and the way he has to turn away, ugh.
eggsy. iām sorry.
tilde, iām sorry, too. you had good intentions, but they lost against his pain.
michael gambdon! the new arthur we didnāt know we wanted until we got him.
charlie had a moral glo-down, itās fine, happens to everybody
FFFFFF his imitation of merlin lmfao
man, poor charlie, like
you wake up, you canāt make a sound, your arm has been blown off and your familyās dead
like his reaction to that entire scenario isnāt entirely unrealistic, iām just saying
also LOOK AT ROX
omg everyone in this movie can wear the FUCK out of suit, yāall
man, iāve gotten a few tattoos that were exquisitely painfulāi canāt imagine how much it would suck to do it with literal molten metal
dude this means clara laid on her stomach and probably screamed at the floor as she got hers D:
this kindaāriffs off of hannibal, a teeny-tiny bit
like weāre so overloaded with the aesthetics and behavior of a certain character so itās like, we forget about the much darker parts untillllll thereās a mood change and weāre looking at that dudeās legs, to the burger this other dude puts in his mouth, and thinking āoh, oh dear, ewā
i love eggsy in the orange jacket <3 snaps for the wardrobe crew across this series.
tildeās face, omg, she was heart-eyeing so bad. and like, that little proud nod at her dad (who was of course being Like That on purpose)
and roxy, coming in in the clutch, you are tonightās MVP
uggghhhhh i hate this part
because again, itās just--a bunch of bad shit colliding outside of anyoneās control
(it was also really jarring seeing the war room with blank walls the first time i watched this)
likeāgranted, you should maybe not touch stuff thatās not yours, butā¦
like we *just* saw eggsy and brandon in a very casual, intimate scene with each other, how can anyone get angry with brandon?
this is all stress-inducing
i remember being in the theater watching this and feeling like i was watching some awful slow motion car wreck and i couldnāt look away
idk what other story i wouldāve wanted to see but i was NOT a fan of Sudden Death For Christmas, especially concerning roxy!
and poppy is such a *bright* villain, not just because of taste but because of her personality, which is another weird thing to have next to the cannibalism
gaaahhhh charlieeee your arm is so cooooool
this shot is gorgeous and incredibly depressing.
what do you do?
gah, and the way merlin comes out of the dark, like
i probably wouldāve drawn a gun on him too
āyou think *i* would?ā
this scene shows 1. how much he trusts eggsy to not shoot him, and/or 2. how good merlin is at compartmentalizing, because this is an even bigger blow than harryās death, and heās following the protocol like itās an art form
i hope that we see some reference to this safe in the next movie, thatād be a cool way to tie the narratives all together
āi suppose that must be upper class humor. ā¦ i donāt get it.ā
reminder, merlin is working class.
if youāre a ho for this fandom and went and bought this whiskey specifically because of this movie clap your hands *clap clap*
and they proceed to just get HAMMERED
ācountry rooaaddsssā¦ take me hoooooomeā¦ā
another reminder: kentucky is a beautiful state!
i would love to tour a whiskey distillery, thatād be super cool
āshame itās not scotchā
again, with his weird night vale clipboard.
who would win: two highly-trained kingsman agents vs. one (1) cowboy
channing tatum, ladies and gentlemen!
āyāall look damn sharp!ā
i am forever gonna be mad we didnāt get more of tequila in this movie, and not just because of roanoke either, but like, āthat dog donāt hunt,ā whatever he has in his mouth sealed a leak in a barrel, and it took him all of two minutes to incapacitate both eggsy AND merlin? hello??
iām glad weāll get to see more of him in the another movie.
āyou know why the measurement of alcohol is called proof?ā
just dumping it on their laps, so disrespectful
āāand you can go fuck yourself.ā
eggsy fucking just giggling.
these two doofuses
also itās hot to see merlin be sassy ngl
āHARRY!ā
these guys have been fast thinkers in stressful situations but as it turns out, people being unexpectedly not dead can kinda fuck with your day
aaannddd halle berry, everybody! i love ginger ale omg
(and so does merlin, he is instantly enchanted)
;-; this reunion scene
i donāt know how colin manages to be two completely different people at once
like thereās a huge difference between former agent galahad and harry hart the lepidopterist and i canāt explain it
i really, really hope we see at least one little hint at kinsmanās relationship with statesman in the new movie, i just think itād be really cool
in roanoke canon, thereās an office rumor that the nanobot tech used by statesman was influenced directly by the same technology developed by dr. wernicke in the outlast games. i still think itās one of my better crossover ideas.
also
god bless whoever decided to get elton john involved with all this?? because i was DELIGHTED
i love poppyās wardrobe as much as i love her weird 50s-land in the jungle
i also really love the main statesman theme? it reminds me of all those fun epic westerns
jeff bridges! :D
champ vaguely reminds me of my dad
ācan you imagine us in the tailor business?ā
and heās super quick with the questions. my headcanons for champ are all over the place but one that i really like is that he was maybe a sheriff or in law enforcement before being recruited by statesman.
aaanndddd pedro pascal, everybody!
otherwise known as *another* character that this movie did dirty, thatāll probably come up in this later
imagine being harry hart, not remember all of yourself, and suddenly your entire room justāfills with water
that had to have been so terrifying, and it was just as hard for merlin to watch (and possibly remember something unpleasant)
and like
that sounds like SUCH bullshit, too, like āyeah we thought if you came close to drowning it would helpā
which, is that what merlin meant, no, but is that what harry heard, probably
enter jb the second ;-; <3 sweet baby
tildeās trying so hard. i see you!
aha, penis jokes.
and all of the unnecessary weird festival stuff, uuggghh
there are so many different things they could have done, like, all of this is just weird from the get-go
first of all, whiskey striking out? hello?? saying no to a man like mr. pascal???
not realistic
the way whiskey takes a shot as he walks away lmao, relatable
and poor clara, like, itās not like she was asking for any of this D:
hmmmmmmm donāt know how i feel being a stoner watching other stoners get this blue rash thing when i know it kills some of themmmmmmm
i love charlie in his newsboys cap!
poppy has a little bit of a point. like, booze is way more dangerous than pot, as is tobacco. like i would never advocate anyone try meth or heroin, but i think weed and some hallucinogenics get bad wraps.
seeing a dude get torn in half in the reflection of elton johnās sunglasses is the surprising bit of gore we need to remember that oh, yeah, the villain isnāt fun, sheās a murderer
uuggghhhh the TENT SCENE
and, look, iāll defend tilde forever, but i did NOT like the weird marriage ultimatum. i still think itās a dick move, like, in that situation either decide to trust your boyfriend or break up with him
the tent interior is super cool-looking
and like, man, he tried, he tried to bounce D:
/sigh/ work hazards, i guess
mmmmmm we donāt need any of whatās happening on screen right now so iāll just sit patiently and wait for it to be over
and like, thereās nothing funny about merlin and ginger being able to hear everything thatās going on, itās so grosssss, poor ginger has to have heard some shit before to be so nonchalant about it
everything about this sucks
and then he tries going to the one person who he needs the most and having to deal with him still existing in some state between alive and dead
his body is here
but harry is not
āmaggots turn into flies, perhaps you mean larvae!ā :D he is SO CUTE
but this entire conversation, with harry still not remembering and eggsy trying so hard to reach him through the fog, is so depressing
like, iād need a drink too
*and* a joint
iām seeing my coping mechanisms on screen here folks
the way he comes up with the idea is kinda ingenious though
like, heās looking at stuff to make himself bummed on purpose, but therein he finds the thing he needs to fix the issue
harryās smile when eggsy hands him the puppy TT.TT
and then eggsy just becomes a stone cold motherfucker with no emotions
āno oneās sick enough to shoot a puppy!ā
hi, flashback!harry
and as SOON as he remembers himself, itās like his eyes are different, something about him looks like it did before kentucky
āā¦ eggsy.ā
one of my favorite movie hugs
and eggsy has to stand on his tiptoes because harryās so tall
like yeah merlin and harryās reunion isnāt as overtly emotional, but thereās definitely a sense of joy and relief there.
harry my baby ;-; much better with the sunglasses (and merlin was so close to telling him he looked spectacular)
ānow is that any way to welcome a visit from outta town, moonshine?ā
he! tried! to! defend! harry!
i hate that jack got a villain story line!
we couldāve had something so much better and infinitely more compelling!
āhurrrr durrrr morgan you just like redemption arcs because you donāt want anybody being a villain permanentlyā i also like them because sometimes thatās better writing, yāall sit down
āthat is NOT what i call a kentucky welcome.ā
i love so many things happening in this scene, like
we get to see whiskey kick ass, like yassss gimme those sweet action sequences and give us some character development by showcasing his fighting style
and also NOBODY shits on harry for not being able to handle the situation. both eggsy and merlin were like ādude weāre still celebrating the fact that youāre alive tbh itās fine if youāre not back up to speed right this secondā
you can really tell that this was penned by british people writing american slang because having grown up in the southern half of the u.s. i have never ONCE heard ANYONE say shit like āi feel like a tornado in a trailer parkā lmao
and poppyās fun little death threat infomercial, so great
āwhat have you done to me you FUCKING BITCHā oof, thatās a mood
!!!!! gonna be honest i kinda forgot that bruce greenwood plays the president
okay but save lives, legalize isnāt an entirely bad idea tbh
hnnnnnnng the scenes about people not being able to get into the hospital hits different in the year of our lord 2020 huh
ā¦ yāall iām being weirded out by all this hospital scenes, this is unpleasant
i, too, wish i could pull a tequila and just be slipped into a chilly coma until shit wasnāt so fucked up
āthe fact is, this presidency has won the war on drugs!ā
THIS SCENE!
look, yāall can come into my inbox and call me a pothead, or a lazy stoner, or some third insult, but this dudeās VP is bringing up some very, VERY important points when it comes to any kind of discussion about drug use in the u.s.
am i drug-friendly, sure, but iām more friendly to the notion that we stop demonizing addicts/users
harry looks fucking SCANDALIZED when he sees champ spit into his spittoon thing
i donāt think whiskey even brought up harry not being ready to return to the field in an insulting manner, he literally just saw him get his ass beat in a bar, but eggsyās faith and loyalty are up there in the category of unstoppable force/immovable object, so here we are
am i the only one curious about the whole charlie x clara thing? because heās definitely grown up a bit by tgc, and i wanna know how much of that might be because of clara
and he MISSES, e for effort harry
āso sorry about thisāā WHAM
and now that guy can say colin firth busted his face with a fire extinguisher, which is very cool
ā*youāre* wu ting feng?ā āā¦ yes?ā
āyou motherFUCKERā ohhhhhh charlie maaaaaad
ginger and merlin though, #couplegoals
the only person more pissed off about the hallucinations than everyone else is harry
imagine remembering that youāre one of the top people in your field and you just keep seeing imaginary butterflies everywhere
like, yeah, iād be pissed at not being able to do what i knew i was capable of, too
if it wasnāt careening towards a random retirement center, getting stuck in a wildly rotating gondola thing could be fun
nice tuesday afternoon activity
i would loved to have seen more galahad/whiskey field stuff
āyouāve got to be fucking kidding meāā
meanwhile, in the continuing adventures of eggsy and jack: shit goes from bad to worse like a formal spiral only going downward
their expressions as their both just SCREAMING always make me laugh
āthatās the first decent shit iāve had in three weeks.ā <- as does that line, that old dudeās just telling it like it is
eggsyās comment about the antidote just reminds me of when boromir looks a the ring and says something like āall this for such a tiny thingā
dun dun DUN what are THOSE? hints that whiskey may not be who we think he is??
great. so excited about that. i say, rolling my eyes into the sun
āiāll fix their wagons.ā no one says that matthew!
i. love. this. scene. because now we get cool gun tricks AND the second most metal thing that happens with a lasso in this movie (weāre coming up on the most metal thing)
like please please PLEASE show us more lasso tricks in the statesman movie
āwell thank fuckinā christ i didnāt need any backup.ā i wonder if whiskeyās acting angrier than he actually is to throw off the fact that he mightāve caught harryās glance at him betraying suspicion
RIP jack
imagine the timeline where whiskey was never a bad guy and harry hart just blew a dude away for NO REASON
now THAT would be an interesting movie
because harry and eggsy, for all they went through in the first film, never had a conflict where it was harry in the position of mangling the ropes up
but of course eggsy would never, never tell merlin what happened because heās still ultimately on harryās team
damn, charlie, literally blowing up your girlfriend seems kinda extreme
āTHIS is vital!ā
and here we get to see the biggest difference between merlin and ginger
now, i know thereās extra stuff in the novelization about their relationship and i canāt talk about it because i have no idea whatās in the book
but!
i DO still headcanon as merlin quitting fieldwork after leeās death
his comment is either what he genuinely believes, or maybe what he fashioned his beliefs into after stepping down from his field role, and ginger is just as sincere in her desire to break into that aspect of working for statesman
itās like seeing the same character but in two points in time, and itās really cool
that balance wouldāve also been a fun aspect of their romantic relationship to explore but alas! ātwas not to be
colin and mark could both play slenderman
look at those limbs.
gracious.
also this facetime scene with eggsy and tilde T.T
that has to be so terrifying to watch when you know the steps of death and what they look like as they get closer
but it also puts a fire under eggsy though
āiām leaving with, or without you.ā
and of course theyāre both gonna go because thatās NOT characteristic eggsy behavior based off of how we know he views family/squad
thatās how they know heās being for cereal
uugggggGGHHHH and THAT FORESHADOING
stacey pruitt, attorney at lawwwww
hmmmmmmmmm
what does this conversation between poppy and the president remind me of
gonna just sigh into the void
and now we have harry and eggsy on the jet along with the BIGGEST LIE harry hart has ever told in his LIFE
kingsman and statesman aesthetics at least tend to be the same color schemes. lotta golds, yellows. browns.
eggsy, yeah, itās a bummer your gf dumped you, but this relationship wasnāt very well-developed or written so iām not as bummed as i could be
āā¦ and in that moment, all i felt was loneliness and regret.ā
harry shut the FUCK UP
you felt NOTHING??
you werenāt thinking of, gee, i dunno, EGGSY? or MERLIN?? your MOM???
like these lines from him just seem to come out of left field and i canāt even halfway suspend my belief long enough to come close to believing him
like mr. hart you just gonna be like that in front of jesus and everybody????
so, yeah, of course heās on board with saving tilde! because he recognizes (apparently just right that second) that āhaving something to lose is what makes life worth livingā
and i donāt know if they felt like there need to be some weird, deeply contrasting reason for harry to swing around to being in support? or something?
like
iām forever pissed about this characterization and i donāt even know if iām expressing my anger in a way that makes it easy to understand lmao this is fine, iām fine, literally not a single person in this fandom ever believed those lines anyway, itās fine
moving on
... and even if they WERE true then honestly that just makes me more excited about butterfly knife, because that means that harry acknowledged both the bad side of the coin, and also the side with rae on it (which would mean seeing her for who she was and also recognizing his feelings for what THEY were) and drew the ultimately correct conclucision that love! is! always! worth! it! let that shit in like a welcome guest in the home of your heart, and they will stay as long as you let them!
as SOON as he wakes up ginger looks a thousand percent done lmao
and the āprocessā that they use to wake people up or whatever isāinteresting
because all it is, is trauma turned into a tool which is kind of a weird concept to see in a āfun spy movieā imo
and this is one of what i feel were like only what, two? glimpses we get into whiskeyās Tragic Backstory
and the other scene isnāt a glimpse itās just straight up exposition in his dialogue :/
jack, iām sorry, you deserved better than this as a character
iām sure the name āsilver ponyā is a reference to something but i donāt know what
ālookinā GOOD merlin!ā āfeelinā good, eggsy.ā
ladies and gentlemen when i tell you that i lost my pool-noodle mind seeing him put on that suit watching this in a theater, i--
ANYWAY
because now that i have the horrible burden of having seen these movies a million times
i know itās more symbolic
he stays in sweaters so long, as an agent of the background, because he walked a man to his death
so it figures when he puts the armor back on for the first time in ages
he walks to his own
uuuggghhhh the minesweeper
i hate this
i hate it
i hate everything about the feelings iām having while this is happening
*beep-beep*
āyou move, we die.ā
i HATE IT
but like, i donāt know, how preferable is this to the end scene we almost got, which was merlin dragging his newly-legless corpse through a doggy door?
because itās been literally multiple years and i still have no fucking idea
theyāre both horrible in their own terrible, awful ways
damn, matthew, itās not often someone manages to come up with multiple versions of a thing and have every version be so gut-wrenchingly horrific, iām truly impressed and completely disgusted
ādo as your told!ā
god
everyone just going through twenty shades of Bad Feelings in the space of fifteen seconds here in the jungle
and colin and taron do this thing where itās likeātheir eyes go dead? like, there was a light here, itās gone now
it SUCKS
oh
oh no
ALMOST HEAVEN
WEST VIRGINIA
ā¦ fuck
LIFE IS OLD THERE
OLDER THAN THE TREES
āā¦ singing?ā
this sucks.
this sucks this sucks this sucks
MOUNTAIN MAMAAAAA
TAKE ME HOOOOME
COUNTRY ROOOADDSSSSS
*THUNK*
and he even took off his glasses before he hit him, he had his end coming towards him and he was still a gentleman
TAKE ME HOOOME
COUNTRY RROOOOAAAADDDSSSSS
his EYES AT THE END
FUCK
ā¦ okay i had to get up and go for a lilā walk
anyway
(and again, roanoke canon, fucking fixingā shit left and right, because weāre the goat)
harry and eggsy look MURDEREROUS
MERLIN SAID KNOCK YOU OUT
it DID make the grand ending fun action scene a lot more satisfying
because like, without merlin there, that means harry and eggsy get to go full feral
poppy you big idiot you just robbed them of all their motivation to show any kind of restraint and now everybodyās gonna get blown up
except for those dudes who get kicked by elton john
which would be an HONOR first of all
(the part where eggsyās using his gun and shield vaguely reminds me of the specialist, @bloodofthepenā)
and harry and eggsy justātheyāre drift compatible! thatās it! the teamwork! the grace! the flow! my god!
eggsy vs. charlie: round like 4 if you count the first movie
it was also satisfying to see charlieās new arm in action
we love fun robotics and gadgetry in this house
colin firth is really just not afraid to throw himself full force down a bowling lane huh
ugh, seeing charlie slam eggsy over and over again makes my chest hurt
the sound mixing on all these films is top notch which isnāt always a good thing T.T
ROCKETMAN~~~
that shit will never NOT be funny
a wild elton john appeared!
eggsy is indestructible, he can walk off anything
but charlie, charlie i feel really sorry for, imagine being attacked by a superior version of your own limb, i.e. something that you canāt exactly quickly remove from yourself, that would be TERRIFYING
harry + elton = dream teaaaammmm
ādarling if you save the world, you can have a backstage pass.ā
i love you elton john :(
i would have been the most OBNOXIOUS hype man in the background of the entire kingsman vs. poppy land face-off
āletās make this fair.ā eggsy youāre fuckinā cheeky
and poor harry, all that lank just getting tossed like noodles
i thought the robot puppers were very cool
āfor the record charlie iām more of a gentleman than youāll ever be.ā
mmmmmm do NOT like this death for charlie
SUPER glad we fixed it
and another scene where i canāt stand the sound mixing T.T it makes me cringe every time
āi donāt consider genocide especially lady-like.ā
and are we gonna talk about how merlin knew how to make heroin?
ā¦ no?
nobody wanna talk about that?
ugh that houndstooth dress is so PRETTY though
high!poppy is weirdly comedic for all of two seconds and then it stops being funny real fast
whiskey D:<
this is so dumb
this is all so, so dumb
āour agencies were founded to uphold peace, to protect the innocentāā
thereās that nobility again
is what happened to whiskey fucked up, yes
iām not saying we have to completely remove that from his story
i just
literally anything but this would have been preferable
and then HOT DOG itās one of my favorite shots in the movie with the whip where harryās just chucking it away from his face like a bamf, YES
how great is this cover, letās be honest
like, iād be lying if i said i didnāt enjoy this scene visually
plus
HARRY GETTING PEGGED RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH A FRYING PAN
gracious
itās one fluid tracking shot, so kinda in alignmentment with what weāre used to
some people get annoyed with repeated junk but when you can do it THIS WELL you can get away with anything
D:
but then jack
you did NOT desert that
yes, you were in dire need of an attitude adjustment but jesus
āthis is for you, merlin.ā
/ugly sobbing/
and tilde is all betterrrrrr ;-;
you guys did itttttt
COUNTRY ROOOAAADDSS
TAKE ME HOOOOOOMMEEEE
TO THE PLAAAAAACCCEEEEE
I BELOOOOONNGGGG
and the scene with jamal and liam T.T #wholesomecontent
poor tequila, after i knew that you would have a bigger role in another movie, i was less annoyed by the fact that they iced you so quick into the story
#FOX2020
āā¦ now weāre brothers, working side by side.ā
spoiler alert i actually love champās toast
āyāall shittinā in high cotton nowā WHAT DOES THAT MEAN???
and ginger becomes the new whiskey like she always wanted T.T
merlin is proud from heaven (or london, depending on which canon)
iiiiiii have mixed feelings about the whole wedding scene, which is probably because i take HUGE issue with the weird proposal ultimatum thing that happened earlier
but the way eggsy says ānot a doubt in my mind,ā he says it so seriously and i remember that tilde almost died
there was such good intention packed into this couple that was so badly written that i just
augh
ābut it is perhaps the end of the beginning.ā
thereās ***merlin! lmao i see you dude, they did you dirty
look
i was pissed off about a lot of things that happened in this thing but i was honestly hype seeing tequila at the very end walking into the tailor shop
like, yeah, iāll stick around to see what happens in this universe but iām gonna complain the whole time
GO JACK RABBIT
RUNNING THROUGH THE WOODS
and again, i almost didnāt see this movie.
ā¦ i think about that morgan sometimes.
hope sheās doinā okay.
ā¦
sheās probably not. D:

1. iām a third year architecture student so im dying from exhaustion almost every dayĀ āļø

3. i really love art and drawing!!!!! i used to go to an art school and im trying to draw regularly but i almost never post my art cause im shy........

8. i think im a good friend? im bad at initiating friendships dfhhgf but iāve known my two best friends for ten years now and weāve been through A LOT so im pretty good at maintaining relationships i guess
9. idk if i really wanna be an architect rip like yeah it seems nice in theory but in practice im really not sure if itās the right profession for me................ iāve seriously been considering switching majors to something film or visual design related lately. and as a child i wanted to be a secret agent or an egyptologist lmao
