Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

Finn is literally the most overt fuck you to toxic masculinity. 

Like, here’s a soldier who’s literally known nothing else but his warrior training his whole life, who’s identity has been consumed to the point where he literally has a number instead of a name, seeing what’s expected of him and rejecting it utterly.  He’s obviously physically strong and capable, but he finds his humanity in NOT using his strength, and his heroism in finding a reason to use his strength. 

He’s afraid for most of the movie, conflicted and hesitant and still able to be brave and strong.  In fact, his truest moments of bravery are also the ones where he is the most afraid and uncertain.  And his fear is never shamed or set up as a weakness, but rather as a huge part of what makes him both human and heroic.

It’s so important to me to see men allowed to feel a full range of emotions including fear and doubt and sadness and still be seen as strong and valuable.

(I think there is an extra layer to this given that Finn is also a black man, but I’m going to stay in my lane and let PoC tackle that.)

as a POC lemme say that finn is extra wonderful because even when he’s fighting, he never looks scary. there’s always this theme that shows strong black men as intimidating and capable of harm but finn is the opposite of intimidating and from the very start you see that he doesnt want to hurt anyone and his strength is not associated with violence but with the ability to help others and he’s sweet and funny and real and no one would ever be afraid of him and both of the poc male leads are shown as caring and using their strength to protect and you’d never be afraid of either of them and there is no macho bullshit at all and it makes me so happy

I’ve just come to the realisation that Hermione Granger probably memory charmed her parents and packed them off to Australia long before she told Harry and Ron she’d done it at the beginning of Deathly Hallows.

She literally never goes home from Goblet of Fire onwards, spending her summers with the boys instead. In GoF she’s remarkably blase about her teeth, something her dentist parents would have noticed and felt hurt about. 

If I were to guess, I’d say she probably did it after the wizarding world cup when she’d seen exactly how the wizarding world treats muggles and decided not to let that happen to her folks. Hermione knows which way the wind is blowing and gets in early. She’d be more than capable of doing it. 

…Oh my God.

hermione is fucking ruthless and i will fight anyone who tells me otherwise

that was her “negative” gryffindor trait

was she incredibly brave and courageous and loyal? yes

but she was also vicious and violent and trapped a woman as a beetle in a jar for over a year because she pissed her off

cygnaut asked: If Max Rockatansky was your boyfriend, he would never ask if the symbolic black scarf you gifted him is a male imperator scarf or a female one.

And he would definitely wear it while proposing you go on a fiery road trip of redemption.

#I’m still trying to pinpoint the exact moment these two become Married#personally I still feel like it’s earlier in Brothers in Arms#With this killswitch code I thee wed. And with this gun I thee vow to respect and support all the days of my life.#Which might just be today because there’s a motorcycle gang AND a car with a flamethrower after us#With my bloody hand upon your metal one serving as a substitute wheel I thee endow#(and all my worldly goods which at this point amounts to my name and a blood transfusion because the fucking War Boys took everything else)#Mad Max#furiosa x max

Perfection.

Look at the 2nd gif and tell me that doesn’t seem like part of some desperate wasteland wedding ceremony (also enjoy Toast, Cheedo, and Capable as the world’s most appalled flower girls.) 

Filed under um blood cw through the gif maybe ‘blood brothers’ is the term I’m looking for but it’s too platonic Mad Max Sage talks Mad Max Toast: I don’t have any objections to this match but I STRONGLY OBJECT TO THE ROCK WE’RE ABOUT TO RUN INTO Cheedo: Does this mean we have a new dad? Capable: forgot the beginning of her wedding toast and is scrambling to make something up (I still want that arranged marriage fic and if I can’t have it I will just write accidental marriage fix in my tags so there) *fic but Freudian slip there

I’m just over here, dragging hands slowly down my face and giving up on any sort of pretense of objectivity.

I never noticed that he put his hand on the back of the metal one in that second gif, until you pointed it out. What. Even.

…true talk tho, the only way that arranged marriage fic might happen to these two is if there’s literal guns pointed at literal heads, and there’d need to be hostages involved, possibly multiple, and perhaps (given this universe) cannibalism, maybe some electrocutions.

And at least three explosions.

And a pint of blood.
