#wade is ok

[dynatoxinc]

Saw someone on twitter say how this scene looked like Wade was introducing his boyfriend to his mom for the first time, and I want to say, what do mean “looked like.” This was Wade introducing his boyfriend to his mom.

this movie is making me insane

Wade: *giggling over the fact Logan uses pet names for him*

Logan: Holy shit, I need to find out this guy’s name. I can’t keep calling him Bub….

hi welcome back to leanne rewatches deadpool & wolverine and goes insane about every single detail in this movie. in this edition: how logan's clothes reflect the trajectory of his character

1. the suit—inside

so we start off with the scene in the bar where logan appears to be wearing what we're used to seeing him wear. flannels, leather jackets. his outfit and even the setting is not at all unfamiliar for him. but, as we later find out, he was wearing the suit underneath all those layers the whole time.

during his talk with laura, he reveals that he wears the suit to remember those he'd lost, and as a reminder of what he'd done. he's had the suit on permanently for god knows how long, hidden under his clothes. at this point he bears the suit like a cross, suffering in silence under the guise of normalcy, yet sacrificing what's left of his identity by reducing himself to what the suit represents; by taking all the jabs and nasty looks people throw at him that he thinks he's too deserving of to combat.

2. the suit—outside

after wade pulls him out, he has the suit on display for quite a while. on one hand, it shows the fight that's in him now as a contrast to his passivity in his own world. on the other hand, it's also a sort of vulnerability: what that suit stands for and by extension what he himself is is now laid bare to the world. out in the open for people to question. maybe that fight that's in him now stems precisely from this vulnerability.

this vulnerability is both good and bad for him: it causes him to lash out at the questions from wade that he's not ready to answer. it also leads him to open up to laura and finally speak about what happened—who knows if he's ever said any of it out loud before. fun! even with just the suit, we're already seeing some development.

and THIS is where it gets interesting.

3. the white shirt—his mind

the first time we truly see him without the suit is when cassandra nova looks into his mind. i've been going back and forth on whether this is logan's own manifestation of himself or if it's cassandra's, and i still don't know. i think the distinction does matter, but in the end what it conveys is the same.

firstly, another layer of vulnerability again. he's already on his knees for cassandra, submissive—now in his mind he's also stripped as bare as he can be (i think we all know white shirts can sometimes leave little to the imagination). cassandra looks at him and says "you're hiding ... from all the ones you let down." how interesting is that?? if we go all the way back to the first scene, he hides his suit under normal clothes. and he hides this version of him in his mind even further underneath all of that.

secondly and as an extension of that point, white symbolises purity. cleanliness. even a promise of new beginnings. let's tackle this from the two possible perspectives.

if this is logan's manifestation of himself, it would be so intriguing that this is how he appears. maybe it means that despite it all, there's some good in him. maybe it means that deep, deep down, past all the shame and the guilt and the grief, there's still a part of his mind where he can just be.

on the other hand, the white could also symbolise a second chance—like i said, a promise of new beginnings. i made a post about this scene here, but the basic point is that cassandra is offering him something that no one else may ever be able to offer him. a chance to fully be himself, to silence the voices. the white is such a stunning visual representation of what she is saying logan could be if he stays with her. which makes it even more poignant that he doesn't.

4. the time ripper

after this scene, he's in the suit again, necessarily. but then! BUT THEN!!!!! the time ripper!!! y'all need to understand the significance of this scene in all its nuances FR! here you can look at his abs again:

but the thing is we know by now what the suit represents. all his failures, all his guilt, his inability to let go of his past. it represents him. isn't it just so fitting that it's at this point where he saves the fucking world that the suit breaks away. it breaks away from him. he's free. this not the same as him just taking it off, because with it breaking into pieces he literally cannot wear it anymore. this is not just a hugh jackman body appreciation, this is logan finally moving on. this is him realising that he is not a failure, that he is not his failures, that he has something else to live for.

5. him

and oh my god, we finally make it to the extremely satisfying ending. after all of that, we finally come full circle. he's in his normal clothes again, the wife beater and the flannel, except this time without anything underneath. he's no longer defined by that one incident, defined by his mistakes and the people he let down. he is just him.

the most annoying couple in queens

Logan's not a hugger, but he is with Wade.

It doesn't matter how early in the morning it is when Wade returns from a job, he drags himself out of bed and meets Wade at the door, pulls him close. Logan doesn't care if his pajamas get covered in blood and dirt, doesn't care if Wade smells like shit.

No--he buries his face in Wade's neck and wraps his arms around Wade's waist so tight it cracks a ribs once in a while.

Logan hugs Wade from behind every morning while he makes coffee, kisses Wade's neck, whispers a soft good morning in his ear.

He allows Wade to pull him close in bed, stumbles his way into Wade's lap while watching a movie, sleepily shoves himself into open arms when Wade asks for a snuggle before bed.

Wade doesn't understand it, because Logan doesn't like to be touched by anyone else, save for maybe Laura. He doesn't greet Wade's friends with a friendly embrace, doesn't like to sit too close to people he doesn't know well, always plastering himself to the perimeter of the room.

I can't hurt you, Logan explains one day, words muffled as he hummed them into Wade's neck. I've hurt so many people, and not even on purpose. I can't let my guard down, can't let myself relax because there's always a chance my instincts will take over. But with you it's different, I don't have to be afraid.

Wade understands, knows what it's like to feel like a walking explosive, ready to go off the minute something provokes him.

So Wade takes what Logan gives, holds him tighter, swears he'd never let go if Logan wanted to be held close for the rest of time.

Logan defending Wade from his brother and then deviating the conversation to save his ass? Oh, yeah.

[gravesidepickup]

Logan buying Wade small things that makes logan think of him through out the day.

Going to the corner store for some milk and seeing some cheap, cheesy, little unicorn Keychain and grabbing it because he's? Pretty sure? Wade likes them. He has the plush and all so. Yeah, no, he totally likes them... so he'll like this silly thing too. Obviously.

Except he doesn't hand it to Wade directly, he's dropping it unceremoniously onto the mess that is his nightstand for him to find later. God knows if it'll ever be seen again.

Soo

Women get 15 years I repeat 15 fucking years in jail for having Illegal abortions, but MEN ONLY GET a year in jail for raping women and killing them.

America is a joke.

An absolute joke.

casual poolverine affection my beloved

wade gluing himself to logan’s back in the mornings when logan’s cooking breakfast; he’ll kiss the back of logan’s head or the side of his neck occasionally, Just Cuz, and logan will reach a free hand back to squeeze wade’s hip every so often

logan grasping wade by the waist to scooch him out of the way. it’s not malicious, wade simply doesn’t realize he’s In the way to begin with, and logan’s learned that the best way to maneuver around it is simply to steer wade in a different direction

wade playing with logan’s hair while they watch tv. whether logan passes the absolute fuck out because he’s soooo soothed by the repetitive stroke of wade’s fingers over the top of his head is his business, but he totally does and wade never ever wakes him. logan sleeps like shit, but when he’s tucked up against wade’s side, he gets juuuust a little more rest than normal, so wade will sit there for hours with his shoulders creaking under the weight of logan’s heavy ass skull because his baby is un-fucking-conscious

logan pulling wade into his lap when they watch tv together because he loves the firm, warm pressure of wade’s body on top of him and also because wade usually dozes off like that and logan relishes in the rare moments like that where wade just looks totally Relaxed. not silent — that’s an important distinction, bc i personally think wade is capable of silences, they’re just not always Good or Pleasant, and so logan much prefers when he can tell (from the steady beat of his heart to the even tide of his breathing, and the slack softness of his features) that wade is 100% at peace

they both wipe food off each others faces like fussy mother hens. and they’ll lick whatever stain they just cleaned off their fingers too. this hardly ever interrupts the flow of the conversation, it’s as natural to them as breathing
