[ID: The post is a gifset of the movie The Old Guard, each gif shows one immortal with the place they were born layered over their silhouettes but transparent so the character is still visible under the landscape. The names of the place are written in a dark script.
In the first gif, Nile filmed from the shoulders up is standing with her head bowed down, she is nodding with her eyes closed and she has a serious expression. She is wearing a red t-shirt under a white jacket and her golden cross necklace is visible over the t-shirt. Her hair is styled in two long braids over her shoulders and she has two golden earrings. Over her shoulders and torso there is the skyline of Chicago and its skyscrapers. “Chicago” is written on the left side of the image in the middle.
In the second gif, Andy is standing in a desert and is filmed from the shoulders up, her skin is slightly dirty and she is nodding. She is wearing a black tank top and a necklace, she has short dark hair falling on her forehead. Over her shoulders and torso, a bare landscape is visible with a forest at the bottom and a hill just above with little vegetation and grass. “The Great Steppe” is written in the top right corner with the words stacked together to make three lines.
In the third gif, Quynh is filmed from the shoulders up, she is wearing a red coat and her long dark hair is down. Her lips are pinched and she is staring to the left side unblinking. The landscape is layered over her shoulders and the bottom half of her face. It shows a river with high green grass on its bank and steep dark mountains in the background. “Red River Delta” is written in the top left corner of the gif with the words stacked together to make three lines.
In the fourth gif, Lykon is standing up and filmed from the waist up. He is holding a spear with a blue cloth tied at the end that he waves around himself. He is smiling and nodding, wearing ancient clothing that consists of a sleeves shirt and a scarf wrapped around his head. Over his torso is a river with bare hills in the background, the river is large and there are some trees on its bank. “Kingdom of Kush” is written in the top right corner with the words stacked together to make three lines.
In the fifth gif, Joe is sitting down in a relaxed position with both of his hands crossed behind his head and his elbows raised to the side of his face. He is smiling and nodding, his eyes wrinkle with his smile. He is wearing a pale pink shirt and there are pillows behind his back. There is a landscape over his chest and left shoulder showing a coast, there are grass and vegetation on the land part and the sea part is fading to show the color of his shirt. “Mahdia” is written in the top right corner.
In the sixth gif, Nicky is sitting in a chair with his chest facing right but his head turned to the left, he has short hair and is wearing a pale blue shirt. Over his face and shirt the flag of the city of Genoa, a white background with a red cross over it, is flying in the wind. At the bottom of his chest, the top part of a medieval tower and its crenels can be seen, the stones are pale beige. “Genoa” is written in the top left corner.
In the seventh gif, Booker’s head is filmed closely, it takes half of the gif. His head is bowed and he is looking down with a melancholic expression. Over the bottom half of his face, there is a shore that consists of white steep rocks and little vegetation, only dark grass. The blue sea can be seen at the bottom of the gif.
There is a still image that consists of a thin strip of black with the words “Bonus” written in white.
In the eighth gif, Andy and Quynh’s faces are filmed closely, they take up the entire gif. They are both smiling and looking at each other. They have long dark hair down the side of their faces and their skin is dirty. Over the bottom halves of both their faces, there is a desertic landscape that consists of big dunes. Over Quynh’s chin, a really tiny human figure is walking at the top of a dune, it is black over the yellow of the desert. “Taklamakan Desert” is written in the middle of the image in a light script with the words stacked together to make two lines.
In the ninth and last gif, Nicky’s and Joe’s faces are filmed from the shoulders up. They both have short hair, Nicky is wearing a grey t-shirt and dark green jacket and Joe is wearing a blue t-shirt. Joe has a lopsided smile and winks with one eye and Nicky is talking with a small smile. They are looking at each other. Over their shoulders and chest is a battle scene of medieval soldiers with medieval armors, shields, metal helmets and swords. Many soldiers of two opposite sides are fighting each other, they form a mass and not one stands out. “Jerusalem” is written in the middle of the image in a light script. End ID.]
