please know i'm also praying for your friend, that someday she might see the light lol. how does one watch tenet and not even think of the possibility of romantic protagoneil??

ARIS WHEN I SAW THIS IN MY NOTIFICATIONS I ONLY SAW "PLEASE KNOW I'M PRAYING FOR YOUR FRIEND" AND I WAS LIKE??????WHAT???? AND NOW IM SCREECHING. @iamtheprotagoneil

Shes the first friend I have who's seen the movie and not seen the potential of romantic protagoneil. Like I had no faith in my brother or dad, but her??? I was so disappointed lmaooo

But she was really into the IMPLICATIONS of the protagonist sending neil to the past, sending him to die, and how tragic it was. And since she was really into the neil is max theory, it was more about how the protag was raising this boy to die to save his past self, which if you think about it is super messed up and like interesting. But like nahhhhhh I don't want to go down that road because then what about Kat? Her entire character plot is about protecting her son, so to have a friend/potential Co parent just raise her son to die is like nah fam too tragic and sad.

My friend just interpreted the movie an entirely different way and it was a little jarring at first how different we read scenes. Like fandom has been all over the implications of when Neil knew too much about protag, and how it was romantic in nature because we like to see that intimacy. But this friend saw it more like if you were to go back in time and interact with young versions of your parents, you'd be a little sly and slick with your info and stuff. Idk it was really funny to see how different it was

oh god he would wouldn't he? the stylist could just come to him with that concept and he'd be like 'oh for sure' dhskdhskjsjsksksj a bullet dodged there thank god

hi, it's aris. i can't send asks on my sideblog so here i am lurking under anon to tell you that, that *other* ask you sent me has been living in my head rent-free ever since i first received it. so yeah, you've achieved your goal, mate, great job! 🙂

GIRL AHAHAHAHA YOU GOTTA REMIND ME WHICH ASK THAT IS BECAUSE AT THIS POINT I CAN’T KEEP UP SDHJFKSLHJAFALJSDNA

this is revenge for all your deep thoughts and imagines that you’ve given to me

@iamtheprotagoneil

[cutekitten6]

i know, dude. like who IS that man? thank god for whoever it was that had enough taste and sense to throw that concept out the door because god, even the possibility, no matter how slim, how that, that DUDE being our darling neil is just horrifying to think about 😫😫😫

The worst part is that you know rob pat doesn't give a damn and would probably hae been styled like that

song lyrics thing: protagonist & neil tenet (i miss them so much 😭)

ARIS AAAAHHHH HOW COULD YOU ASK THIS OF ME BAHAHAHHAHAHA

Okay so I'm going to this both their characters separately and then their ship together ehehehehehe

Neil: Adore You by Harry Styles

I'd walk through fire for you// Just let me adore you// Like it's the only thing I'll ever do

Like I mean 👁👁 cmooon

The Protagonist: Forest Fires by Brighton

And how was I to know// I'm not strong?// I should have saved you

Applicable to Neil and his helplessness to the powers of entropy and posterity ;))

Protagoneil: Saturn by Sleeping At Last

You taught me the courage of stars before you left// How light carries on endlessly, even after death// With shortness of breath// You explained the infinite// And how rare and beautiful it is to even exist

I feel this goes both ways with each man learning from the other before they are ripped from the versions they were introduced to tee hee hee
