Ze's Storage Space

As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.

The best detail in The Old Guard is that every single time one of them "dies" briefly, they all wait with their breath held to find out if that person is going to wake back up. They're constantly worried that the last time they woke up will be the last time they ever wake back up, the last time their friends wake back up. Choosing to add that, with such clear intention by the actors and the director, not only increases the stakes, because you know it might happen just like they know, but also gives the story such an emotional punch. Its not guaranteed, life is not guaranteed even to the immortal ones. Every breath is precious even when they've been infinite.

something i’ve learned in my own life and growing/healing process is that the thank you step really is key
