LIVE OR DIE.

are you deceived in what you believe? a plot-driven ilsa faust from the m:i franchise.

[cs4a17909]

cs4a17909 , ... AS LOVED BY BRI, 28, SHE/HER. an independent, low activity and semi-private portrayal of ilsa faust from the mission impossible franchise. canon critical, with zero desire to write with anyone who uses t*m cr*ise as ethan hunt [it is a personal opinion & i will not be swayed!] ───HEAVILY HEAD CANON BASED AND DERIVED FROM PERSONAL INTERPRETATION. there is a large emphasis on rogue ilsa post-rogue nation and ilsa's death being a ploy of her own making. do not follow if your ooc age is not displayed on your blog. twenty1+ only.

——— @ortums sent: oh, i live on the edge.

THERE'S A HALF SCOFF, HALF LAUGH CRADLED IN HER MOUTH, & she shakes her head in its aftermath. "wow, you're a reaaal original, huh." the city center sits far enough beneath the rooftop patio they reside on that the hum of traffic and dizzied tourism barely sounds real. there are pros and cons to an audience in their work. it's more dazzling to pull something off in a room full of people. something like the movies, which ilsa consumes far more than she'd ever admit if only to count how many ways the mission could and should have gone wrong. one time she counted 107 different endings. ( and yet the agent had pulled it off miraculously— ) a relatable feat. she is, by default, at her best when she's on the nick of time, needle in a haystack, pumped full of adrenaline with nothing but a straight-lipped smile and a shine in her eyes that somebody who's seen as much and done as much as she has absolutely should not have. but luckily ... today ... all they have to do is blend in. keep their cool, relax, and drink an all too expensive glass of wine. with as deep of conversation as they'd like so long as they looked like they were talking about something as mundane as the weather. "don't get too cocky now ... i can think of about twenty ways i could make this more thrilling for us ... who likes chalbis grand cru anyway?"

thinking about how kittridge said, "i put the bounty on ilsa's head. i also told you how to find her. i didn't ask her to steal the key, she did that for reasons of her own, but that's the pattern, isn't it? you get her out of trouble and she always found her way back in." how it implies that the general consensus is ilsa asks for ethan's help. when in actuality ilsa never asks for anybody's help at any given point. of course she needs their help (ethan and the imf as a whole) but it's pretty clear that ilsa doesn't need to explicitly express this as she's more than capable of producing the same results whether they intend to help her or not. ex: the ledger in rogue nation specifically. although if we look at the facts, most of the things that they do aid ilsa with when it comes specifically to her missions actually end up turning out a whole lot worse for her. i actually think it's fair to say that if anyone is in need of any help, it's imf from ilsa, which she greatly returns the favour and then some and continuously risks her own life to do so. but more specifically, kittridge's evaluation of ilsa and ethan's dynamic also explains how misunderstood ilsa is entirely. her desire to get out of the game and come home was never stronger than her desire to feel like she had a choice in her own fate. nobody really knows why ilsa went after the key. she is no longer an operative of mi6. it wasn't a mission. at least not a mission given to her rather she chose to accept it herself. which is the entire point. by the time ethan assists her in faking her death it's too late for something like that to actually be described as saving ilsa. she has already regained her freedom and made the decision on what she's going to do with it by nabbing one half of the key to the entity. which is further reiterated by her showing up in venice. and again, to her "final fate", when she meets gabriel on that bridge. nobody, not even ethan, gets to choose for her.
