me staring at the fanfic i wrote out as a coping mechanism out of pure anger and devastation in the wake of something that upsetted me (it was do trivial and so stupid), projecting it onto a poor character for them to suffer
if Things We Lost In The Fire by Bastille is not the most Todoroki family theme song ever
By any chance could you have the main trio (Capt.Barncales, Kwazii, & Peso) 10 yrs later pls....
here you go! sorry for the long long wait
“Listen to the child”
Yes! Please! Let’s listen to the children who still look at war and violence with terror and revulsion instead of resignation. Instead of “this is how it’s always been.” It takes a child to ask “why?” It takes a child to look at the bad parts of our world and ask why no one has bothered to change it.
But it also takes every last person in the chain of command to put a weapon down. To make the personal choice to no longer stand for an unnecessary war. “Shouldn’t we fire?” One man asks. “No,” says the woman in command. Each person who hesitated to fire when the queen gave orders. If any one of them had fired, as we know from Jacob firing the gun, would’ve broken the moment to lay down arms. Each person’s decision to choose peace impacted the end of the war.
I will live a long, happy life. Because dying a great death, an honorable death, is a myth to idolize war by those who profit off of war. The ones who only have power when there is fighting. And none of those who died are dishonorable or no longer a hero, right? They knew no other option. They can be wrong and still be heroes.
This movie fights against the influx of child soldier media by simply asking to no longer need soldiers.
I hope we all can live a long, happy life.
Ice's dogtags are another matter. Sarah is already in the picture but she is a civilian and she isn't Maverick so the first time they diagnosed him with cancer he doesn't even think too much about it. He's barley forty-five, the chemio is going to take time and with no assurance it's going to work and Maverick is squishing his hand so hard it's almost feels like it's going to break. It doesn't and Maverick doesn't let go.
After the first cycle of therapy Ice is just too tired and he feels like crying and he can't and he wants to fly one more time, with Slider, with Maverick, alone up there in the sky, as fast as he can because maybe, maybe if he flies fast enough all of this is going to a memory. But he can barley leave his bed on good days, let alone fly. He puts his dogtags in Mavericks hand one a Thursday night, just a couple of hours before his deployment in Iraq and Mav kisses him on his forehead and his lips. It all sounds and taste like the goodbye he never wanted to exchange with this man.
Maverick wears them around his neck, along with Goose's at the beginning, and then just them when he gives Goose's to Bradley. He never stops wearing them: not when Ice goes in remission, not when he's on a mission and then testing planes that go so fast he can barley explain the sensation of flying them, not when cancer comes back and takes away Ice's voice once and for all. He wears them and touch them everytime he misses Ice. It happens a lot, it will always happen a lot.
man.. the guilt jake must carry all the time
They really put Tom Cruise in front of a camera, told him the blond was the love interest and then didn't specify which one, didn't they?
