Happy 10 years of Spies everyone! Thought I’d make a sequel to Mini Mega (seen as we’re not getting one to saf anytime soon). Or a partner if you will. Under the cut is more photos (I had a bit of fun with the lighting and other stuff).
To many more years of loving these idiots!! Spies are Forever means so much to me and it’s been one of the most creatively inspiring pieces of media I’ve ever loved and this is just a fraction of it.

First @spiesbingo prompt done! And it’s depressing :D
I’ve been so excited to participate but I’m so slow at writing. Hope you enjoy <3
Prompt: Alcohol Abuse
My potentially spicy opinion about Owen and Chimera is that I sincerely doubt there was manipulation involved in making him believe the actual mission and ideals of the group, given that Owen was a government instrument who served king and country.
Like, we can call it whatever we want but the truth of the matter is that man would at the very least be a centrist (different countries=different political meanings but for simplicity's sake I'll use this).
Like. If we step back for a moment, neither Curt or Owen are "good people". They work for their countries. They have its best interest in mind, even when this conflicts a core part of their identity. They genuinely think they're doing good, they're saving the world, but what that actually means is serving the interests of their political systems. Human lives are expendable. The loss of life or the suffering of people is a lot of the time not visible to them. Do they stop to think about who suffers because of the interests they upkeep? Their successful missions? It's not just the guards one chooses to kill or not to kill. What about the common population? The poor? The immigrants? Anyone who the government each time deems unwanted? It's so easy to justify eradicating people who are "a danger to the world" when you're in that position, be it a guard or a rich fuck, or someone down the street.
Anyway, this got away from me. What I'm trying to say is Owen and Curt's job has some inherent implications. I love them to bits but sometimes it's a nice pastime to think of those implications. Anyway, Owen teaming up with Chimera willingly is one of the least surprising things to me.
(also I always have think it's funny when spy movies talk about "saving the world" and that means America or Britain lol)
In my headcanon, Owen stopped fighting for his country long before the fall. I think he became disillusioned with the whole “for king and for country” thing, and rationalised being a spy by doing it for Curt. Meanwhile Curt never stopped believing that what America was telling him to do was for the greater good. Curt only fought for Owen after the fall.
Therefore Owen found it easy to join Chimera after Curt’s betrayal, and Curt found it easy to quit the ASS (I know he was technically fired lol) after he killed Owen.
I think it’s also funny how both men tried to escape the system only to walk right back into it. Chimera promised Owen power, but all he was in the end was just another asset to them. Stopping Owen didn’t stop Chimera. Curt thinks that if he’s free from the ASS that he’ll be able to go after Chimera easier, but if saf’s history is any way similar to ours, we know Chimera wins and Curt potentially dies in the process.
In the end, I think Owen saw himself as a bad person, and embraced that. Curt saw himself as a good guy and realised that America is might not be so good after the gala, which is another reason why he went freelance. For such a morally grey character, I don’t think Curt ever addresses it within himself, unless when it comes to Owen. Curt didn’t care about death until he left Owen for dead.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn’t there
What if Tatiana’s family rejected her when she went back for them?
Like, yeah, she kept tabs on them but they haven’t seen or heard from her in years. Prisoner of My Past insinuates that Tatiana was four when she last saw her family (at least that’s how I hear it). So imagine this woman, who looks like your long lost relative all grown up, showing up with fake passports. Keep in mind that this is 1960s Soviet Union and defectors and family members of defectors of the communist regime are still being arrested.
Would you believe this woman who insists that she’s your relative? Would you go with her? Or would you think that this is a test? You’ve already lost one family member to the government.
Plus Tatiana probably finds out sooner or later that Curt lied about Chimera being completely destroyed. Imagine if she found out after they reject her. She put her entire family in danger again for a fruitless endeavour.
Reading curtwen fluff while listening to one step ahead (54 below version)
Some of my favourite moments from my Spotify Wrapped Apple Rewind
Also I crunched the numbers and I apparently listened to Spies are Forever 248.7 times…
Also if I were to include my December numbers from last year, I listened to Spies a total of 14,748 minutes
Seriously though, Spies are Forever means so much to me and makes me feel normal on days when the world just goes to hell.
Now please excuse me, I’m off to listen to more Spies
Can’t dress up as Agent Mega for Halloween, so I’m settling for Bond
Watching Spies Are Forever in London was all I could ever hope for and more. I wish I could commit every detail to memory because it was so brilliant I barely have the words to describe it. All the actors where amazing, the band was amazing, and the entire community was amazing.
If you got one of my bracelets/keyrings, I hope you like them! Thank you to everyone who traded with me, everything I received is so beautiful and I’m so grateful for them.
Much love to the new cast. Genuinely love each actor’s take on their own character and now I know I need to see Operation Mincemeat lol. Everyone sounded so good too, I need their versions of the songs pumped into my veins just as much as I need the original recordings.
I hope everyone enjoyed the show as much as I did because I know I will be rotating this in my head for weeks, if not months. I will forever be grateful of TCB and this community for making this one of the best experiences ever
What do you mean it’s less than 3 days until Spies in London???
I’ve been busy making saf inspired bracelets and keyrings for Spy Another Day in London, so if anyone wants to trade or just wants a bracelet/keyring, do come up to me and ask! Obviously there’s a limited number but they’ve been made to be given away so do take them if you see me at the evening show!
Also I’m still making some keyrings so if you have any ideas for (short) phrases, i.e. less than 10 characters long, do share

Last day of Curtwen Week and I decided to write a sad one.
I have genuinely loved this event so so so much and, even though I couldn’t read much this week (I got a little overwhelmed by somethings), I can’t wait to catch up on all the wonderful fics over the next few weeks :)
