CODY’S GONE AWOL

CODY 

Being a Cody fan and living in a different timezone is wild bc every Wednesday, we have to frantically open tumblr and check the Commander Cody tag just to see whether he’s in the new TBB episode bc we can’t watch it yet. The panic felt for those few seconds while the app loads is insane.

“neil is so oblivious” “neil is so observant” “neil is bad at reading people” “neil is great at reading people” nah listen neil has spent his whole life on the run from the mafia. he is really observant but the thing is the only thing he is looking for are things that are potentially threats. analysing power dynamics of the foxes on day one? check. noticing any time wymack is even a little bit annoyed because historically annoyed older men has meant pain? check. keeping track of where everyone is at any given point and how close the doors are? double check.

but what he isnt used to looking for? good things. anything good, because he literally just does not expect good things to happen to him. nicky considers him a friend and has for months? blindsided. allison found it in her to forgive neil for his role in seths death without ever saying a word to him? shattered. the least emotionally expressive guy on the team has been progressively falling in love with him in such a way that multiple team members have already clocked it? never even considered the possibility until it was literally spelled out.

tldr; neil is great at ferretting out threats and absolute dogshit at noticing when people care about him because he’s been programmed his whole life to expect the first and not the second

ok now that i finally finished solo, i will officially declare that solo is a good star wars movie, u guys are just mean 😔

my villain origin story is having to pay over $500 for a semesters worth of textbooks

WHOEVER WAS IN CHARGE OF WRITING CODY'S LINES THIS EPISODE NEEDS A MEDAL OF SOME SORTS BC GODDAMN

Why do all of the crow scenes feel so watered down?? Like Kaz cleaning inej’s wounds could’ve been peak cinema. Kaz fighting for the crow club was not as much a blood battle. Kaz’s back story was not in as much detail. I missed the “I’m still alive” line that broke me. Their whole storyline being rushed. I don’t care that they changed their story, I care that it lacks the heart and impact that it did have.

One of my favourite things about canon compliant codywan is how it makes anakin comparatively SO high strung. Like Obi-Wan is just chillin with his low-key lover, having tea, meanwhile Anakin is CONSTANTLY fretting and resentful and angsting over his wife. O66 happens, and Obi-Wan's partner gets mind controlled and he just gets on with things and tries to save Anakin. Anakin meanwhile is self-fulfilling-prophecy-ing his way to a dead wife and the dark side.

They are not the same.

Wake up babe new bad batch trailer just dropped

One of the most painful scenes. @whydamnitwhy thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support again! I’m not used to drawing Wymack, but I always imagined him as a father who would protect you, listen to you, and always understand you 💔
