going into 2025 with the absolute, utmost confidence that it will be old guard 2 year
I know how I wanna spend the time I've got left. You're gonna spend it with us, Andy.
Andy + her team in The Old Guard (2020)
Come back to me!
I know, I know. This has been done. Many times. (Hell, I have done it.)
But there’s a reason why that moment in movie history meant so much to so many of us. And four years later, it still means so much to me.
Because The Old Guard didn’t just do the bare minimum and acknowledge that gay people exist, it gave us immortal warriors. It made Joe and Nicky that couple — soulmates with an epic backstory of falling in love with your enemy. It let them be deeply and passionately in love. On screen. In the most romantic and badass way possible.
And then it gave those roles to Luca and Marwan, who gave it their all and managed to bring that to life in so many small, yet impactful, ways. I will forever be grateful for that. Nothing comes close.
So happy birthday, TOG fandom! 💗
(And let’s hope next year we have one more movie to celebrate. 🙏)
FOUND family??? you think i just found them like this??? babes this is FORGED family. Me & the bros were scrap metal in a junkyard (very valuable, very sharp, very dangerous, uncared for) and we GOT IN THE FUCKING FIRE TOGETHER. WE did this. we said I AM NOT LEAVING YOU and melted into each other for better or for worse (it’s for better) and we are A FUNCTIONAL UNIT now. DO NOT SEPARATE. BATTERIES FUCKING INCLUDED. FOUND family my ass, we built this non-nuclear family unit from the ground up, don’t devalue this!!! it was is and will be a labour of love!!!
#preach
do you guys remember the Old Guard. remember when there was a major mainstream hollywood action scifi motion picture starring hot women with guns where gay people kissed on the mouth passionately. and the movie was both critically and financially successful. that movie feels like a fucking fever dream. i'll never achieve the high i got when that movie came out ever again
The Old Guard Timeline
Rounding, my guess at the timeline for our immortals would look something like below. I added the ‘estimated’ notation when specific dates weren’t referenced in the comics or movie. When ages of the immortals at first death isn’t referenced, I default to 30 years old.:
4710 BCE Andy is born. In the comics, Andy states she is 6732, so give or take some years there for publishing and calendar changes.
4680 BCE Andy becomes immortal (estimated)
1362 BCE Quynh is born (estimated)
1332 BCE Quynh becomes immortal and Andy starts dreaming of her. (estimated) In the comics, Andy states she dreamed of Quynh 1,000 years before meeting Lykon in 332 BCE
1332-332 BCE In the movies: It is insinuated Andy and Quynh are the first to meet. Specific dates aren’t referenced and I’m not as much of a clothing expert to try and guess.
362 BCE Lykon is born (estimated)
332 BCE Lykon becomes immortal and meets Andy at Alexander the Great’s siege of Judea/Gaza
641 CE In the comics: Andy and Quynh meet at Amir bin al-As’s siege of the Byzantine Empire at Alexandria . Lykon isn’t there and they all meet up soon after, though for them soon could be years.
1066 CE Joe is born
1069 CE Nicky is born
1099 CE Joe & Nicky become immortal during the First Crusade
1332-1574 CE Lykon dies. In the comic it states Andy and Lykon traveled together for 2000 years and he died in the renaissance era. In the movie: Joe & Nicky aren’t in the scene where Lykon dies but they talk like they knew him. Given the date of his death, they would have at least dreamed of him.
1575-1650 CE In the Movies: They don’t state exactly when Quynh is lost at sea but widespread witch trials in England occurred between the the late 16th century to the mid 17th century. There are earlier trials in the Middle Ages, though not as common or well documented, and more often for political reasons. The last execution for witchcraft in England was in 1716. In the comics: Quynh is lost at sea, though not in an iron maiden for witchcraft. They are sailing and there is a storm. Joe & Nicky are there but Booker isn’t and a date isn’t specifically mentioned.
1770 CE Booker is born
1812 CE Booker becomes immortal during Napoleon’s invasion of Russia
1994 CE Nile is born
2019 CE Nile becomes immortal (estimated) and meets the gang
*BCE= Before the Common Era, equivalent to BC (Before Christ)
*CE= Common Era, equivalent to AD (Anno Domini meaning ‘the year of our Lord’, colloquially referred to as After Death)
Finally created some proper fan art for this excellent movie.
If you haven't already definitely go watch The Old Guard (2020) some time.

THE OLD GUARD (2020) dir. by Gina Prince-Bythewood
Andy is the spine of the found family.
Deep reaching roots with ancient branches weaving a protective roof above, a canopy which has lasted for centuries giving shelter from every storm, sturdy trunk the armor against every force.
Like the spine, Andy is the supporting structure, keeping the team upright and going when it seems impossible. They rely on her, trusting her to catch them if they should fall and remain standing, no matter how badly their world is shaken.
Andromache the Scythian is a pillar of strength and steadiness, bearing the world on her shoulders like Atlas the sky.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Quynh is the spirit of the found family.
Wild wind, being untamable in its nature; either a caressing breeze, offering a gentle touch for those in need, or an energetic gust, uplifting when you’ve stumbled, or a destructive storm, raging fiercely against everything having harmed her loved ones.
Like breathing, Quynh is essential, giving everyone around her strength to fight, to love, to live, to bear the burden their immortality can be from time to time with laughter and bad jokes. Her spirit is refreshing, filled with pure, inspiring vigor.
Quynh is the vitality that can mend what is broken.
