One last game of Tag? Agents of Shield #PartingShot
So to /cope/ with the ending of this show, I thought it might be a cute and not at all sad idea to play a tag game expressing our love for the show and how we grew with it. My goal is to start this now and hopefully by Wednesday, it circulates and we can read each other’s stories before (and after) the episode and feel comforted in knowing we’re not alone in saying goodbye. With this tag game, I want to know the answers to these five (5) questions and then tag 5 or more mutuals. Wasn’t tagged but want to join? Join in ! Everyone is an essential part of this fandom! Name from @ agent.of.shield_ on Instagram ( @agents-of-fangirling ) who had a great idea to post a picture of yourself with a drink (or just a drink) and tag it #partingshot as a finale goodbye to the show.
Where were you in life when you first started watching AOS?
God, a MIDDLE SCHOOLER. I didn’t join the fandom until the beginning of highschool. I remember Agents of Shield being with me through literally the most developmental part of my life( physically, emotionally, mentally- alllll that). This fandom was such a crucial part of my happiness as a kid. I didn’t talk much to many people since I knew I was a lot younger than most, but nonetheless I always felt accepted and loved. I knew people on a first name basis, read more fanfiction than you will believe, first discovered my love for writing on AO3. The positivity poured out of everyone here. When I left, grew up, and came back all the old faces I recognized were hardly active anymore but the heart was still here. It will always be here.
All grown up. Sending in a few college applications as we speak. Agents of Shield made me realize I did not want to be apart of a super secretive team that gets blown up or betrayed every six months but rather I want to write about one. I’m majoring in screenwriting and television production in college (don’t say it trust me I know) and I can’t think of any show I’ve watched more impactful in this decision.
What character development arc (or storyline in general) did you love the most?
May. Melinda May man, my TV mom has come so far. What happened to “I’m only a pilot?” May has grown so much from what she expected to be in the beginning and I love it. I love seeing her grown from self isolating to an essential part of the team, learning to make peace with herself and her traumas. May has always made me feel better about myself in being a reserved person. Quiet isn’t always a bad thing, matter of fact May made it badass. Thanks to her, I’ve mastered my quiet glare and let me tell you it is POWERFUL.
What will you miss the most?
What /won’t/ I miss honestly. I think I’ll miss all the excitement that came from Con days. Juicy content, lighthearted interviews, great outfits. I love the cast just as much as I love their characters.
Not from the show but, “BABES I found the churros!” Will always have a special place in my heart.
