Happy (late) Valentines, people in my general timezone!

Miller, you slay me.

Max makes me so very happy because he’s clearly a PTSD survivor (possibly a neuroatypical one) whose point in the movies is NOT to be the “from a disabled guy to a hero overcoming all challenges” -character. The movies represent him as an awesome badass and still doesn’t hide the fact that he’s battling some serious mental health issues. People like Max (and me) don’t usually get represented in media that positively and honestly.

Can we please take a moment to appreciate Max in this GIF? I’m starting to think that the only reason he’s seen as “Mad” is because he’s the only person left in this movie who has a natural “what the fuck” reaction to everything. Like. This shit isn’t the norm to him. The world went crazy, he’s the only sane one left.

“I go through the gamut of emotions. It’s kind of like emotional weather. Feeling anxious. You know, a lot of anxiety. And that’ll pass. Nothing will particularly change, except something inside. And then all of a sudden I’m saying, Hey, this is fun, being alive! Look at that! Look at this!” GQ October, 2013

Sailor Fury? I couldn’t picture Furiosa conforming to a Sailor Skirt >.< I thought about putting the Citadel Skull somewhere on her–and while iconic, it’s Joe’s brand and it’s the furthest from what she wants to be. So I put traces of the Green Place for her instead.
