                             THWACK.

      The sudden noise startles Isaac, who’s been mindlessly       swinging his cane in front of him for a solid five minutes and       has yet to collide with anything, until now. And he’s almost       positive whatever he’s swatted with his cane isn’t living, but the       shuffling of sneakers on concrete as well as the small exhale       tells him otherwise.

DO IT!!!!!! *cough* we can double ship *cough*

do… it?

So the one thing I really liked from the movie was the friendship they gave to Quentin and Margo as kids. I mean, in the book, they had hung out and played together a little because their parents were friends, but I really like this idea of them having actually been friends. 

As kids, they weren’t like, best friends or anything, but through elementary school, being that they were in close proximity in age and location, were rather good friends. Margo would always be trying to get Quentin to try new things with her, including, but not limited to: ordering foreign candies on the internet with her mom’s credit card. Buying those suck-ish chemistry sets from toy stores and not doing any of the experiments correctly because those were too boring. Riding their bikes to unknown parts of the neighborhood just to explore. That isn’t to say Quentin would always go along with what she wanted, but she was relentless in her attempts to get him to. 

Margo would even try to get him to go along with things at school. She would pass notes to him during class, telling him things that obviously just could not wait until the teacher was done talking. Of course, this would make Quentin nervous, as he most certainly did not wait to get into any trouble. God forbid their second grade teacher catch him passing notes with Margo Spiegelman! She would even dare him to cause trouble on the school playground. If she were playing with her best friend, Lacey, and just so happened to see Quentin standing near, she would run up to him and dare him to do just about anything. “Quentin, I dare you to go hang upside down on the monkey bars and block everyone else’s way.” Said quickly and quietly in passing, flashing him a smile as he’d turn back to her giving her an incredulous expression as this was something he would OBVIOUSLY NEVER do, even when dared by Margo herself. 

The two of them were friends. Until they weren’t anymore...
