PLEASE do not follow this blog! This is just a sideblog for dumping posts I don't have room for elsewhere. It's a jumbled mess of whatever fandoms are currently taking up space in my ADHD brain. I routinely forget this blog exists, only to come back months later and spam a ridiculous number of posts at once because I use this as more of a storage bin than a blog.

I think i hate myself for the fact that i was planning on making this all day.

teenage coltland twins you are so important to me

Just watched both fall guy and grayman in a day because I adored the idea of chaos twins coltland and their silently overprotective older brother court

[graves-yard]

Colt Seavers I’ve always loved you so glad your stupid autistic brother is bringing your movie to light

Here’s a shitty drawing that i just wanted to draw

[your-mom-friend]

I watched The Fall Guy purely for the Coltland Twins AU thing but i genuinely enjoyed the movie a lot. I’m gonna try to keep this spoiler free in case any other PHM fans decide to watch the movie

Something i really appreciate about The Fall Guy is that Colt Seavers is smart. He’s intelligent. He knows exactly who he is and what he can handle and his situational awareness is off the charts. Examples:

-Even though the comment he makes about “bad sand” is played off as stalling he was completely right. The sand had bad traction and it ended up costing Jody a camera.

-He immediately clocks that the drink was spiked and stops drinking it

- He is remarkably calm about being drugged and almost shrugs it off except for the damn unicorn and even then ignores it and manages to hold a completely normal conversation with Jody

- Does NOT fall for the protagonist trap of avoiding authorities he gets the police involved IMMEDIATELY it is not his fault the antagonist got to it first.

- Has the emotional maturity and intelligence to actually articulate his side of their breakup while still taking accountability and keeping it in line with the thinly veiled plot

- During the scene where he and Dan comb Ryder’s place we see him rearranging the couches, pushing one into place and pushing the other away. Later in that scene he and the guy he’s fighting fall through the glass partition down to the living room and Colt falls i to the sofa while the other guy hits the floor. He basically simulated the fight choreography in his head and calculated and planned accordingly

- After being captured and delivered the monologue he’s like you need Carbs!! Your brain runs on GLUCOSE!! I mean we love a guy who keeps track of his macros and actually knows shit about biology and nutrition

- Also learned a certain amount of French just to converse with Ryder’s dog which is adorable

- During the helicopter scene he literally keeps count of the bullets so that he knows when she’s out of them.

I’m sure there more tiny things but that’s all i remember off the top of my head

Like it would be really easy to make the stunt guy just some macho guy with a heart of gold but they made him emotionally mature and genuinely brilliant

Another thing i loved about this movie is all the fourth wall breaks that were just homages or caricatures of classic movie things like the split screen, the “it’s a product placement” car, or the “it’s plot heavy, you’ll lose the audience” but it’s all so fun and enjoyable

Project Hail Mary inspired me to rewatch my other favorite high-tension high-laughter Ryan Gosling movie with great relationships and no romantic subplot: The Gray Man, and I love it so much that I have to inflict it on the world. In rant form, obviously

I absolutely adore how Six’s character behaves. Normally government assassin type characters are portrayed as having little attachment, no morality, no loyalty, and being very jaded and bitter. Instead of that, Six took what little he’d been given and made almost a life with it. His loyalty to Fitz borders on filial (and he directly talks about how they’re basically family), he doesn’t hesitate to add Claire to that picture when he meets her, and Margaret Cahill is almost like a matriarchal figure to him I feel like. His life is weird and violent and unpredictable but he has his couple of people that he’s unfailingly loyal to, and that’s so lovely to see

I also love how he just lets people be what they are. When Margaret Cahill says she doesn’t want him to be sympathetic, he doesn’t try to contradict that (though the way he put his hand on hers was adorable). When he’s trying to pull Claire away from Fitz for her own safety and she’s kicking and screaming and running away, he never tells her to stop or be quiet or anything. He doesn’t let her stay with Fitz bc he wants her safe, but he also doesn’t expect her to act like anything except what she is: a grieving and upset child. And with Miranda, he doesn’t seem upset at her at all for literally tranqing him and locking him in the trunk of her car even though most people would be. He doesn’t expect her to trust him without proof, or even necessarily with it, and he still tries to keep her safe. He’s so incredibly hyper-competent and somehow sort of submissive at the same time. Like he really lets the people around him dictate the tone of any given interaction, possibly as a way to compensate for how powerful he is? Idk I love him as a character

Similarly, he puts the safety of any person who can reasonably be called “his” (Claire, Fitz, Margaret, Miranda) so far above his own, it actually makes me crazy (the bit where he shields Margaret with his body while they’re being shot at comes to mind, and then again with the grenade). And not even their safety, but their emotional well-being? At least with Claire; in the final standoff with him and Lloyd, she runs over to hug Six when Lloyd lets her go and he hugs her back really tight even while he’s involved in a pre-fight stare-down with Lloyd. He’s so protective and caring and kind in spite of all of the ways that the world has tried to beat that out of him and I love him so much for it

Last thing bc I’m getting tired of typing: the symmetry between Six saying “the white pants, the trash stache, it just leans Lloyd” and Lloyd saying “if it weren’t for your childish sense of morality and $8 haircut…” like the way they describe each other is just so fun to me. Lloyd freaks me out, that man is insane, but there is a symmetry between their characters that’s really fun

Actually I thought of one more thing: Six is so not flashy in everything he does, it’s so fun. The people fighting him will be showing off and then he’ll do the bare minimum efficient thing to take them down and then move on, or even use their flashiness against them, like, it’s so delightful. He’s so competent that he doesn’t need to rub your face in it. He doesn’t ask for any acknowledgement for how he helps others but always acknowledges when others help him (his quiet “thanks” to Miranda after the train(?) scene is adorable). I just love him a lot ok?

(Also he’s hot. Like, he’s loving, protective, violently competent, submissive, good with kids, and hot as hell. What more could a person want in a character?)

The parallels between these shots/scenes is making me insane

The vertical position of the shot, despite it being the act of pinned down. But one is "upside down" and the other "rightside up" of:

Grace. Pinned down. Unable to move. Unable to save himself. Becoming unconcious. Ultimatley a death sentence in both cases.

In one case surrounded by people (friends) who Could help. Could step in to say "hey this isnt right", but won't.

In the other, one other person (an alien, but also a friend) is with him, but he is trapped behind a barrier, unable to help.

Except.

Except! He does!! He breaks through the barrier!! At a great danger to himself, almost fatal in fact, to help Grace!! Because he can not stand by and watch a friend die again, not if there is even a single thing he can do to help!

The guards/soldiers dragging an unconscious Grace off to his doom.

Rocky dragging an unconscious Grace to safety and medical care.

Just.... Grace:

Actively trapped and Doomed by passive inaction.

Vs

Passively trapped and Saved by assertive action.
