honestly, i hate to admit it but i never really thought that the little jokes joe and nicky traded in the lab were that funny. cute? heartbreakingly adorable? full of love and affection? indicative of their deep bond and ability to make each other smile even in the worst circumstances? yes yes absolutely. but i never really laughed, i just smiled fondly at their love.

then i rewatched tog with my older parents, who thought joe’s ‘bedhead?’ joke was hilarious. and i realized something i should have much earlier… joe and nicky just have the kind-of-silly sense of humor of like, outdated boomer parents. 

which has gotten me thinking about the massive potential for dad jokes that rests within their combined three brain cells. nile is about to spend eternity getting hit by stupid puns and silly nudges and dumb dad jokes that she pretends to hate but secretly loves and i am so here for it.

Andy, teaching Quynh how to drive: Okay you're driving, and Booker and Nile walk onto the road. Quick, which do you hit?

Quynh: Oh, definitely Booker. I could never hurt Nile.

Andy, trying not to laugh: The brakes. You hit the breaks.

I believe this can change the world. A fine justification. I’ve heard it so many times before.

the fact that we use words like brother, sister, husband, to describe the relationships in the old guard, when none of them are used in the movie or even truly fit these relationships for the single reason we don’t have accurate words to describe what they are to each other 

[nilestiddies]

very pissed off.

that scene where andy strolls in with a gun to retrieve nile, but instead of andy it's nicky, and instead of a gun it's a a blanket, two cheese sandwiches, a bottle of freshly squeezed orange juice and some light reading for the road.

Nicky, shoving a “welcome, new immortal!” care package into Nile’s hands: hello. we are going to steal a truck now

Nile, who has never had a panic attack interrupted quite like this before: *slowly removes earbuds* o-okay?
