I’m not trying to prove anything to anyone
#and the thing is#no one in the team has ever doubted fitz#so i think he’s nurtured this for years#back in scotland he’ was the fatherless kid who had too much brain and too few friends#in uni and maybe at the academy he’s the child prodigy who ‘probably never worked a day in his life’#having people doubt you all your life is a hard thing to unlearn#and a few months in the field#with the people you love constantly being thrown to danger#wouldn’t easily change that#and then he damages his brain and loses his best friend and hahahahahaha no#oh fitz :(#agents of shield#leopold fitz#with a heart of a lion and an armor of compassion#and hands that never tire of trying#and hands that will willingly bleed and kill and scrape the dirt off the ground for his friends#you are so good baby#so so good (via ohfiitz)
#I have so many things to say about this#and I’ve been meaning to write a long meta#but basically Fitz FIXATES on the word afraid#after FZZT#after Jemma says you were just afraid of going into the field#and you can see his face change completely#I was not afraid! he insists#and he realizes at that moment that Jemma does see him as the scaredy one#even though to him courage has always been courage in the face of fear#which we know he has always shown#he WAS scared of going into the field#but he did it anyway#because Jemma was worth more than his fear#and now he feels like he needs to prove that not only does he face fear#but he doesn’t feel it at all#that’s he above it#like Ward and Trip who jump in immediately#because he thinks that’s what Jemma likes#but you stupid stupid boy#you crying and standing up to fear is what makes you the hero#and what makes Jemma a hero#you both are such stupid selfless babies#someday I’ll write a formulated meta about this#but good god#fitzsimmons (via fitz-simmonsy)
I love everyone in this bar.
I feel like I’ve reblogged this too many times but it keeps getting better.
Fitz FIXATES on the word afraid
RIGHT IN THE HEADCANON.
and now he feels like he needs to prove that not only does he face fear#but he doesn’t feel it at all#that’s he above it#like Ward and Trip
you crying and standing up to fear is what makes you the hero
I’m in physical pain.
Thank you.
