you’re outside, the moon has just fully eclipsed the sun, and you hear me yell in anguish. you look over and watch, horrified, as the sleeves on my “sun’s out, guns out” shirt start to rematerialize

rewatching the scene of charles and edwin meeting for the first time… edwin doesn’t even clarify that he was in hell bc of a clerical error, he just said he escaped. and charles doesn’t think for a second that edwin might have gone there for being a bad person, he just blinks, says that sounds hard, nice job, and attaches himself to edwin’s side forever. he knew edwin didn’t belong in hell without having to be told about the mistake.

when honda okayed/paid for its odyssey to feature in the film “deadpool & wolverine” …do you think they ever anticipated what fans would end up doing with it? do you think they’re happy with how it turned out?

everyone flashing back to when the upside down hurt them/the ppl they love meanwhile robin and steve are just there like 👫 we got mildly tenderized a couple times. mostly by normal humans. but happy to be here solving puzzles, killing something, and saving kids like always :)

list of insane shit steve and bucky have done for each other:

almost single-handedly broken into a massive hydra base miles behind enemy lines, catalyzed its destruction, and freed hundreds of POWs

followed the other back into hell on similarly crazy escapades (including ziplining onto a moving train on the side of a cliff in the alps) despite having well earned the right to go home and recover in safety

broken into the smithsonian on the off chance that an old costume might jog some memories and break 70 years of brainwashing

refused to fight the other and letting him nearly kill you so he could break the programming himself rather than overpowering him

gone against said 70 years of brainwashing to save the other instead of killing him as you were programmed

nearly gotten blown up because the enemy you’d almost apprehended said the other’s name and you froze

tracked down and tried to protect the other even when he was being hunted for blowing up the UN

become an international criminal trying to keep the other from being apprehended

broken out of custody to protect the other after he went rogue

fucking pulled a helicopter out of the air

trusted the other was in his right mind again when he provided a couple fun facts after someone (either YOU or HIMSELF) put his arm in a vice to keep him restrained while he was in attack mode

called in a bunch of favors rounding up allies to fight other former allies (as well as an african king and a teenager from queens) to smuggle the other to safety

left said devoted allies behind to be captured (admittedly at their insistence) for a chance to get the other to safety

beaten the shit out of iron man (someone EXTREMELY valuable to have on your side) and lost your signature weapons to the fight to protect each other

committed to life as fellow international fugitives

the thing abt dead boy detectives compared to other ships (canon or otherwise) that i’ve seen — where it puts two people very devoted to each other in positions where they have to walk through fire for each other over and over again — is that for those other ships there’s often a fair amount of ambiguity afforded by one or both of the characters’ caring or heroic nature, and the fact that they happen to keep risking their lives saving each other is more a result of the narrative constantly putting them in those situations than a statement on that relationship vs others in the story.

take, for example, buck and eddie from 911. the moments we all love — buck digging up the mud with his bare hands when the well collapsed on eddie, or rolling under the fire truck and dragging eddie to safety under sniper fire — do show buck’s devotion to eddie, but because buck is so devoted to all of his loved ones, it’s easy to imagine him doing the same if someone like maddie, hen, chimney, or bobby were in eddie’s place. buck has a big heart; he’d do this kind of thing for many people.

these moments and others like them stick out to me as evidence of buck and eddie’s special bond not because buck wouldn’t do the same for his sister or team, but because there was a deliberate decision by the writers to put buck and eddie specifically into these situations, rather than anyone else buck cares about, and to give these scenes such weight (the way the scenes are shot, scored, and later referenced). the meta narrative plays a big part in how these scenes build the relationship.

dead boy detectives, though? on the stairs out of hell, charles outright states that there is nobody else he would do this for besides edwin. charles is a caring person too, just like buck, except here there’s a hard line drawn in the dirt. charles is saying that no, actually, he wouldn’t venture into hell to rescue crystal, or niko, which not only solidifies his singular devotion to edwin but also hammers home just how dangerous of an endeavor it was to undertake, if edwin is the only person charles — whose whole job in death is saving people — is willing to risk it for.

(also i have a sneaking suspicion that a big part of why charles wouldn’t try to rescue anyone else from hell is because it would involve either separating from edwin to do it alone or putting edwin in danger by bringing him along)
