so i was just sort of talking at my sister (as one does with a hyperfixation) about reed's relationship with the royals. about how bb and medusa seem to be pretty close to him (and sue, but i digress), and how even maximus ended up on friendly terms with him when he was an,,, honorary member of the illuminati for a little bit that one time.

and i was thinking, surely, maximus thought of reed as just that annoying guy his brother and sister-in-law talked about sometimes, and helped them imprison max. i don't imagine he thought highly of that guy at all.

and then he ends up in the illuminati, and actually talks to him, and realizes that this guy is also a genius and gets how he thinks and operates. so now he has to deal with thinking "oh no he IS cool" about that guy that helped his brother beat him up a couple years prior

#and also. how did reed get like that entire family to like him #he's an inhuman royal MAGNET #but yeah. iirc max and reed have a moment where they both are just kind of finishing each others sentences #and tony has to tell them to stop and explain what theyre talking about bc even he is lost on their thought process #i am a huge fan of characters with similar intelligence getting together and just being !!!!!!! at each other #like. 'YOU!!!! you get it!!!!!' #regardless of what that intellect is its my favorite kind of friendships #esp when its a character like maximus who has scenes of 'ive never had a real friend who understands me' #bc when they get those moments they find someone who DOES understand? whoooo boy #reed 🤝 boltagon -> friends :] #thats my point at the end of the day. good friends good friends #throwing medusa under the boltagon label for the purpose of that meme. its not technically incorrect? #does she ever actually introduce herself using boltagon? does any narrative acknowledge that part of her name ever? #eh. last names arent important anyways. the inhumans rarely use theirs. first name basis baby!!!! #KABSJANSMA #blackagar boltagon #medusalith amaquelin #maximus boltagon
