Just A Forest Fella (scary)

Mickey 17 really said that someone will love all versions of you, even the version that you can’t seem to accept.

Something I really liked about Mickey 17 was how human everyone was. Like, people stuttered and didn't always finish their thoughts, assholes live to be assholes another day, there were conflicting political opinions throughout the colonists, there were arguments on the loading docks about parking and people sharing food. It felt like those were real people, and it paid off at the end when there were multiple people working to get mister-wannabe-dictator to stop. Like! Yeah reasonable people Would try to bring these people to trial and work to communicate with aliens and vote to get rid of a body printer because these are People! It was just a nice touch, and also made sense for how Mickey is very much Not a hero, he's just a guy trying to live his life. Everyone's just trying to live their life, so everyone contributes to solving the problems.

everyone has been saying nasha was the only person to not ask mickey what it was like to die, but no one is making the connection that she didn’t have to ask bc she already knew. on presumably 3 or 4 occasions, nasha held him as he died an agonizing, horrid death. she was the only person who even thought to give him comfort in those moments. she’d never ask him how it felt, she knows.

you ever watch something and just think... "god i cannot wait to get on ao3 after this"

nasha barridge is the character of all time. she's a firefighter and a security guard and a martial artist. she loves her pathetic ass boyfriend more than anyone. dating two clones at once isn't a dealbreaker for her. she can snap a fascist's neck with her legs while holding onto a rope with her teeth. she breaks down giggling over doodles of stick figures having sex. she starts a riot in the cafeteria to defend her boyfriend from bullies. she's stayed with her boyfriend while he dies more than once. she's compassionate and wise and supportive and also jealous and hotheaded and messy. and she's in space!
