Eventually, Yusuf asked, “You will stay also?”

“Yes,” Nicolò said on an exhale, almost before the question was fully formed. Yusuf blinked, his mask cracking once more, though Nicolò could no more easily decipher what it revealed. Whatever it was seemed delicate, too fragile to touch. In his native Ligurian, which Yusuf did not speak, he added, “It would be my honor.” (Or: Yet another origin fic! Nicolò and Yusuf decide to stay in Alexandria through Ramadan while contemplating their next moves.)

Never forget how Joe and Nicky sleep! Joe wrapped around behind Nicky like an octopus, Nicky snoring in the other direction and Joe sleep talking right into Nicky's ear.

#if the sequel gave us nothing else it gave us this as a canon fact #the old guard #the old guard 2

nickycaro

something about joe saying ‘nicky, caro, he’s alone’ do you think he’s spent months thinking about booker saying ‘you always had each other but we were left to our grief’ do you think he lay there at night thinking they had left booker even more alone with even more grief? do you think

nile freeman week 2020 | day four: favorite weapon

her quick thinking & problem solving skills

[ ID: Six gifs of Nile Freeman from The Old Guard. In the first gif she is in the trunk of a military vehicle, kicks the door open and tumbles out. Second gif is of Andy on the plane walking up from a nap: Nile locked her wrist to a pole. Third gif is of Nile muttering to herself while she works through Booker’s betrayal, then looking down. The shot changes to a gun in her right hand and an empty cartridge in her left. Fourth gif is of Nile lying dead, then waking up to kick a man in the groin and shoot three bad guys while their weapons are down. Fifth gif is Nile shooting two men coming towards Andy and turning her body to catch the bullet meant for Andy. Sixth gif is Nile running at Merrick and throwing them out the penthouse window. They fall towards a car. End ID.]

Not every queer film needs a queer kiss, however, if I was going to put some kisses into TOG2, these would be my picks

When you accidentally forget you married one of those spicy whites until the Italian jumps out at you:

You have Joe and Nicky.

Because Quynh needs a hug, and the first movie already established that they are the best at hugging.

(And I had to compensate somehow for not getting my emotional satisfaction of seeing their reunion, or at least a moment between them, a moment dedicated to their deep and close relationship…)
