Andy and Nile in The Old Guard: Tales Through Time #6 'Many Happy Returns'

Nile: Some people say they can see ghosts wandering around at night

Nicky: Spooky

Nile: Do you really believe in ghosts, Nicky?

Nicky: Yes, I do. But mostly they should believe in themselves I think

Nile: …okay Nicky

here's a version without the speech bubbles of the legends themselves, use how you want

i think the older old guard immortals don't remember when their birthdays are at all, just vague things like "i was born in the spring" etc. so millennial nile assigns them each birthdays based on her psychoanalysis of them and what zodiac sign she thinks is compatible with their personality. and they're all like "ok babe you know we don't really. celebrate this right." and she's just like "this is for me not for you i need to write in my journal that nicky was being SUCH a taurus today." better yet she invents whole charts for them so she can whisper under her breath things like "ok cancer moon" whenever joe is crying into nicky's chest about some coffee commercial on the tv

nile in many happy returns like

Joe is a drama queen:

Nicky: “I’m leaving.”

Joe: Starts to sing this song:

Nile: “Aren't you being a bit overly dramatic over Nicky getting milk?”

Joe: "Me overly dramatic? Don't know what you're talking about?"

Booker: "If you think Joe is being overly dramatic over Nicky getting milk alone you don't want to see Joe being overly dramatic of finding Nicky alone in bed after a mission."

The Old Guard: Tales Through Time covers by Leandro Fernández

You need to stop watching heist movies. I already told you there were no lasers.

6 immortal warriors vs only 1 bathroom

A gay Italian character who is not stereotyped. 

A gay Arab character who is also not stereotyped. 

Neither of them fetishized. 

Both of them bad ass as fuck. 

And they're in one of the healthiest relationships, queer or not, I've ever seen in an action movie.

Two female leads, one of them Black, neither of them sexualized. 

 Not even ONCE. 

 Both of them bad ass as fuck. 

And they both have space to be their own characters, with their own arcs.

Directed by a Black woman. 

Edited by a Black woman. 

 Actual MAIN //obviously// Gay characters in a superhero/comic movie? (Not relegated to cameo status, take notes Marvel!) 

 I'm sorry I can't shut up about this movie. 

I'm just so fucking INTO everything it's about! 

(Edit: I was too excited to think while I wrote this and but now it's doing numbers and everyone is yelling at me asking what the name of the movie is lol. It's The Old Guard, it's on Netflix and came out a week ago.)

[Insert 'Quynh my beloved' joke in here]
