I have a title, I just haven't come up with it yet

With great power comes...a ton of weird crap you are not prepared to deal with.

Tbh I think all of the team but especially Daisy and Mack deserve more credit for not trying to kill Deke at least once. They're all so much stronger than I would've been

Daisy and Robbie were soo underrated but I will forever stan them they were punk as fuck

[daily-dose-of-dousy]

dousy things that are impossible to get over (51/?)

the way sousa pulls daisy to his side when she looks and smiles at him while zephyr 3 is going through a nebula

Garrett: I was more loyal to shield than they were to me. They betrayed me. They left me to die. So I ruined them. I’m going to keep myself alive no matter what it takes.

Coulson: I believe in protecting people. I gave my life serving shield and fulfilling that promise. They betrayed me when they wouldn’t let it stick even though I told them it was wrong.

Just the dichotomy. Garrett’s big breaking point from trusting shield was when they wouldn’t save his life and Coulson’s is when they did.

Daisy showing up at Robbie's work with an entire fake backstory about knowing him from school to ragebait and embarrass him in front of his coworkers less than 24 hours after he nearly killed her will always be one of the funniest parts of aos to me

[allpinkandgoldandglittering]

Aos things that somehow happened twice:

Jemma gets eaten by a space rock and separated from Fitz for six months

A time traveller with the initials DS falls in love with Daisy

The team get stuck in a time loop and only escape when Enoch sacrifices himself

The team fight identity-stealing robots

Daisy teams up with a guy who is technically a corpse possessed by the "devil"

A character who's name rhymes with hobby gets written off for a spinoff that never happened

[ryder616]

Daisy watched her mother being murdered

Something about how Phil Coulson and John Garrett were brought up together and trained by Fury

Something about how Garrett was mortally wounded and denied extraction after a mission, and had to save himself (story told by him). And Coulson being killed on a mission and Fury "moving heaven and earth" to bring him back

Something about Garrett manipulating and using Ward, (who needed guidance and someone to look up to (a mentor, a father)). Garrett taking Ward under his wing, but at what cost for Ward

Something about Ward (who Garrett made, who Garrett mentored), becoming part of Coulson's team and family, even after the years Garrett put into him

Something about Coulson taking Daisy (and Fitz and Simmons) under his wing and mentoring them (at a cost to them, but not the cost of their soul). Coulson becoming Daisy's father in all but blood without her owing him anything for it

Something about Ward and Daisy's relationship (there similarities and differences when they met), and how different they ended up in the end

Something about Coulson and Garrett ending up as two side of the same coin, and their proteges ending up as two sides of the same coin too

Something about how Coulson saved Daisy and Garrett destoryed Ward more

Fury's proteges ending up so differently. One the embodiment of what SHIELD was and stood for, and the other the very thing that help tear them down

It all ending with Coulson being the one to kill both Garrett and Ward

Just Phil Coulson and John Garrett

AGENTS OF SHIELD Flint episode 05x10 “past life”

[quakeismyhero]

fitz is such a hypocrite when he talks about daisy abandoning them after lincoln

yes, that happened.

but what did he do when he lost jemma at the beginning of s3/end of s2?

basically the exact same thing!

except he didn’t feel the need to leave shield, because he isn’t inhuman and in constant danger.

they both ran away and shut family out.

daisy did a shitty thing, and of course he misses her and is mad at her. but by acting as if she betrayed them completely?????

after she literally just saved him and mack.

no one gave daisy the grace they gave fitz, and may, and eventually mack when they all (try to) leave shield at one point or another after losing someone they love.

(and i shouldn’t have to feel like i need to list every single one of daisy’s flaws, in order to post something critical of another character)

[ryder616]

Daisy didn't "abandon" anyone, she went away in large part because she felt she was a danger to her loved ones. She left to protect them from herself ("I'm a liability", "I thought that separating myself from the team would help me protect it", "Everyone who gets close to me ends up dying").

This narrative that she did a "shitty" or worse selfish thing needs to end (it won't, ofc, it's been a decade and here we are). She distanced herself from the people she loves because she thought that was what was best for them. The last time she was actively suicidal Lincoln died, so it's not like she's delusional on that front, yeah? Plus somebody's got to take the Watchdogs seriously, and that's a problem everyone else was ignoring.

Fitz has his own share of abandonment issue and reacts badly but that's the character's perspective. It would be really, really nice if people (not you, I know you're making a different argument) would stop taking what he says as gospel and examine it critically every once in a while (5x15 is another excellent occasion to try). He got mad and equally misunderstood Coulson's reasons for stepping down from the directorship, accusing him of throwing in the towel, except Coulson set the record straight immediately ("I didn't throw in the towel. I had to step down so that you could all continue in SHIELD").

I'd also like to point out that SHIELD isn't a cult and the team, found family as they might be, doesn't, or shouldn't, own every moment of these people's lives. It's okay to leave to sort yourself out. The problem here is that Daisy is trying to sort herself out by hurting herself, not that she's doing it away from the job that is the source of most of her ills or the people she's trying to protect from further fallout.

rereading season 5 daisy whump that i wrote to be about 70% done (because i love whump, sue me) and it has a scene with Robin and Daisy and i'm thinking. here's Robin literally tormented by the visions of Daisy supposedly destroying the world (she technically did as an accessory) and everyone around her parroting that but when they reunite in the future, Robin actually thanks Daisy. this is after the Earth breaking apart btw. she also helped Fitz when Daisy was name-dropped. there's even the whole confused with moms thing since in the future (or even in the present), Robin would remember May more than Polly (sorry queen) but through all that she remembers that Daisy is a friend. she's not the Destroyer of Worlds even if she was there at ground zero, even if there was all of those stories going around. Robin never held any of that against Daisy even when life in the future was absolute shite. she knew Daisy enough to know that a lot of it was beyond Daisy's control and none that she wanted to happen.

if you listen carefully you can hear me poof into a pile of soft mush

[azurecanary]

not to be a hater but whenever someone cites Fitz screaming at the Monolith as the most well acted scene in the entire show, i find myself asking “Can we not have a higher standard for acting than White Man Screaming?” Cause i feel like those scenes are always lauded as the most well acted, when i can name five other scenes in AoS (some of which include fitz!) that hit so much harder but aren’t just White Man Screaming

[allpinkandgoldandglittering]

The best foreshadowing in the history of foreshadowing and it wasn't even intentional
