On the Friday night last weekend, I had three of my friends over at my house for the second half of a Matrix marathon that we got halfway through at one of the friends' places one night in August. As you can see, because this time it was my domain I had some time to set up themed snacks guarded by my Morpheus Tubbz duckie, and for some extra decor I set up my other Tubbz next to him, as well as laying out my Neo prop work badge that I found on Etsy a couple of years ago. 🎬🌟
Also, one of the other two mates and I both spent the evening in our costumes, with me as Neo and him as Trinity, as a continuation of when we did it for comic con a few months ago (it was his request that I once again censored his face with frog emojis in this post). 😍 Yes, as is shown in one of these pictures we took, I did indeed go the extra mile for the cosplay by giving him a little peck on the cheek. 🤗
For this one, my main thought was 'POV: you're Smith' LMAOOO.
Me and him even spent the next morning putting our Neo and Trinity costumes back on again and re-enacting some of the scenes! The first one is them looking out over the rooftops during the sunrise in Resurrections, the second is when Trinity gets shot in Reloaded and Neo restarts her heart, and I'm sure we can all recognise what's happening in the last one. 🔥💖
And he and both of the other friends did like all four of the movies! Now they can finally understand so many more of my lore references LMAO. They agree with me that Resurrections isn't as much bliss as the original trilogy, but we like to think of it as basically being an alternate continuity - basically as an AU ending in-universe that's separate from the continuity of the ending that we got from Revolutions, if that makes sense, and we all agreed that Neo and Trinity's relationship in Resurrections was very well-developed. And the friend who did the Trinity cosplay now wants to do his own marathon sleepover with us at some point but for the John Wick films! I've only ever seen the first one and, of course, it involves sweet Keanu. 🥰
