Sometimes that movie is about hope and love and life and friendship and sacrifice and what it means to live and having someone to make sacrifices for and the people in your life that make it worth it to make those hard choices and do the heroic things we otherwise wouldn’t have the courage to do and and and-

This video makes me cry every time it’s on my dash and I can’t even iterate why.

Like the dog doesn’t even know it’s a competition and she’s made history. She(?) just is happy and knows she made her owner happy too.

can we appreciate Milligan & his adamant conviction not to kill anyone unless there’s literally no other way? like this man is a spy in a book where ‘never say die’ is not a thing. I mean, no one actually dies, but it’s clear & stated that the Ten Men have no qualms about killing people, or hurting children. The Ten Men are Milligan’s foes. When Milligan is fighting men who are trying to kill him, he still goes out of his way not to do anyone real harm.




I mean, these men and their employer are the reason he lost his memories for ten year, why he was separated from his motherless toddler daughter for a decade (83% of her life in book 1, guys), they have hurt him, hurt his friends — Kate struggles with the moral stance of whether or not its ok to kill them (she’s thirteen) because of these very reasons, Milligan doesn’t, and when she has her revelation, it’s not that she won’t do it, it’s that she could never do it. It wasn’t deciding not to do it, it was realizing she can’t, because she’s not that kind of person. Kate realizes — with a certain degree of disappointment but also a degree of pride — she could never do it, could never do something that would make her more like her enemy and less like her father.




Her enemy: no qualms about killing people. Her father: qualms about killing people. Both don’t discriminate. Instead of killing the Ten Men, Milligan chooses to drop off a cliff to fake his death/escape. He gave them a run for his money when going out of his way not to kill anyone; there’s a very good chance he would have won if he didn’t care. But Milligan won’t compromise his morals (‘so what if he drowns who cares serves him right they deserve it etc’ ‘we’re not like them kate that’s the entire point in trying to stop them’). He will not take lives unless there’s no other option, but if there’s a cliff to dive off of, then he’ll take it. He’s a spy, the best in the business, fast as a tiger and clever as a fox. But he never had a chance, really. The man had an absurd reluctance to do anyone real harm. You should have seen the lengths he went to just avoid killing Crawlings, who was doing everything he could to dash him to pieces. and these are terrible men. But he still won’t kill and I just think that’s extremely admirable in him, because he’s an adult spy who’s been in horrific missions and whatnot. I’m rambling on and not being very coherent, but let’s just take this moment to appreciate Milligan.

I am constantly seeing people trying to puzzle out what's "ruining books" and it makes me more and more tired. Read a different book. You have more choice in reading material than at any other point in all of history. No one thing can be ruining ALL of them.

care and tenderness as violating and coercive acts. being forced into vulnerability for your own good by someone who does not actually see you as a person but as a symbol or a figure too valuable to let die. you have power over so much but not your own body. you have lost the right to risk. everybody cheered

there are certain characters that i am just an expert on. anything i say is canon. if you disagree with me youre wrong

[theorangepdf]

getting fixated on something is funny because the first like week i have an insatiable need to tell everyone i know about it and spread the good word but by weeks 2 and 3 it becomes so intense and personal that even hearing it mentioned in public makes me sweat as if a dark secret was alluded to

we deserve to have media with fat characters that like being fat and that are confident and happy in their fatness and they do not want to change that one bit im being very reasonable here

some fun mannerisms head canons for the show twins

[ID in alt text: A drawing of each twin from the show with short descriptions that match their poses. For Nico, it says "Nicholas folds himself down and forward to feel smaller when he is nervous or awkward" this is accompanied by a drawing of him doing just that with a red face and an embarrassed expression. Next to him is a drawing of Nathaniel that says "Nathaniel pulls up and back, since he is tall this actually hides his face better. he also thinks it's less obvious." accompanied by a drawing of Nathaniel, leaning up and backward with a red face that looks more annoyed than embarrassed.]
