#the adrenaline of the chase

[mytardisisparked]

Look, all I’m saying is that they really just don’t make movies like National Treasure anymore. Like this movie is about two dudes in a van who beat a team of highly trained criminals to stealing a valuable document from a high-security museum, by sheer accident get an antiques expert to come along with them to keep the document safe, get involved in several major chase scenes, escape the FBI twice, find a massive treasure, get someone else arrested for their crimes, and then give the treasure back to museums before yeeting out to do it all over again in the sequel. No one was doing it like them. And the thing is, by all accounts, this plot is ridiculous and the dialogue is ridiculous but it works unbelievably well because the writers and actors committed to the bit. This movie is campy and absurd and it’s also one of the most fun and quotable movies of my early childhood because the creators embraced the camp and did it with such a sincerity that it’s a goshdarn delight to watch. Top all of that off with a soundtrack that went WAY harder than it really needed to, excellent atmosphere throughout the whole film, and visuals that were darn near perfect and National Treasure becomes a classic. I’ve been chasing the high I got the first time I watched it my whole life. What a movie.

#I'm super normal about National Treasure #when I was a kid I loved it so much that I memorized the whole first movie and most of the second and I can still quote most of it today #its a comfort movie but in the way that I get an adrenaline rush every time I watch it #And like Book of Secrets was pretty darn good too #and so far I don't mind the TV series it's not bad #but that first movie #cinema peaked for me then I'm not remotely kidding #I have loved no movie as much as National Treasure #National Treasure #National Treasure Book of Secrets #Ben Gates #Riley Poole #Abigail Chase

Remus close to the full moon is feral, he isn’t himself and he has about two days of twitching and feeling angry and energetic and horny. So Sirius has the bright idea to play hide and seek in the woods…

Last Hope

@whumpril Day 10: Adrenaline

CW: Probable misuse of medication (not for plot purposes, but because I'm not a medical professional and am basically making this up), criminal Whumpee, blood loss, fear of death.

Nothing had gone as planned. Whumpee was supposed to get into the compound, download the virus, and get back out. It wasn't supposed to take more than an hour. They weren't supposed to run into anyone. Least of all Whumper. Now Whumpee was bleeding uncontrollably from a knife wound in their chest, and running blindly through the labyrinthian facility trying to escape Whumper and find some kind of exit.

Thank God Caretaker had insisted on coming along. Whumpee had argued that this was a one man job, and they could drive their own getaway car. But Caretaker was a worrier, and apparently a vindicated one now. Whumpee could only hope they would get back to them to hear Caretaker tell them that themselves.

Struggling to stay focused as they ran through the building, trying to remember where they had gotten in from, Whumpee turned down a dark hallway lined with doors. Whumpee hadn't remembered being in this area of the building before, but with Whumper at their heels they could barely complain about the ample hiding places it provided and stumbled forward, one hand staunching their bleeding as best they could and the other grabbing at doorknobs, hoping against hope that one of them would swing open. Finally, at the end of the hall, one of them did with such a loud screech it made Whumpee's blood run cold even as the slipped in and locked the door behind them.

The dark room beyond seemed to be some sort of chemical lab. The walls were lined with counter spaces topped with severely sterile looking machines and locked cabinets. A part of Whumpee's mind drifted towards the idea that there was probably something valuable to steal in the room, before a sudden thunder clap of pain radiated from their chest through the rest of their body so intense that their knees gave out underneath them and they fell to the floor muffling a cry.

It had vaguely occurred to Whumpee before that the only reason they had gotten as far as they had as of yet was because of the adrenaline pumping through their body and numbing the pain and panic coursing through them. It seemed to have been starting to ware off now though and the room swam in front of Whumpee as they rolled onto their back and grasped the bloody hole in their chest with both hands. The contact elicited a disgusting squelching noise and another thunder bolt of pain that made Whumpee's eye site go grey momentarily.

Concentrate! They ordered themselves, their eyes sweeping around the room dizzyingly. There was a window at the far end of the lab. Whumpee couldn't tell if it opened or not, but they could at least be able us it their barings as to where Caretaker might have stationed themselves if they could get to it. That would be no use though if they bleed to death before they got out of the compound, which was a dangerously real possibility right now, so Whumpee continued to scan the room until their eyes finally landed a large metal box screwed to an adjacent wall with FIRST AID written across it in large red letters.

Whumpee pulled themselves into a sitting position and the world wavered in front of them. They could feel the little blood they had left in their body rushing away from their head and heart and towards the open would between their upper ribs. A nauseating feeling washed over them and Whumpee had to fight the urge to pass out. They knew they wouldn't wake up again if they did. This also served to confirm that there was no way Whumpee was going to be able to stand in their current condition. So once they'd gotten their senses back Whumpee resolved to start scooting across the floor on their butt, holding their gushing wound with both hands and fighting for consciousness the whole time.

When Whumpee was halfway to the first aid kit however, they suddenly became aware of the sound of heavy footsteps rapidly becoming louder. They froze and pressed themselves up against the nearest cabinet, holding their breathe as they listened to Whumper's familiar footsteps run down the hall past the room they were in, then back a few seconds later, disappearing back the way they'd come and back into the depths of the compound. Whumpee gasped for air as they heard Whumper's footsteps disapear. There was was a sudden rush in their heartrate that didn't seem so dizzying, and a shock of renewed adrenaline ran through them that they used to leverage themselves to their knees to quickly crawl the rest of the way to the first aid kit.

The adrenaline had run out by the time they got there, and Whumpee teetered on the edge of consciousness as they pulled the first aid kit from it's box on the wall and flung it open. Breathing was getting so painful that Whumpee was beginning to wonder if the knife had punctured their lung after all.

Hang in there, they told themselves. You just need to stuff the wound. Whumpee collapsed against another set of cabinets. Most of their energy spent, and ran a bloody hand over the supplies in the kit, feeling rather than seeing for the packets of gauze. Instead their hands ran over something plastic and cylindrical. Hovering over it out of exhaustion more than curiosity, Whumpee quickly realized what they were feeling. It was an EpiPen.

It took Whumpee several seconds to figure out why their slowing heart leapt with joy at the feeling of the medical device under their finger tips. They didn't have any allergies, and though they'd been trained in how to use an EpiPen, they'd never had need to before.

Epinephrine. Adrenaline. Their mind sluggishly eked out the thought, followed by a half forgotten memory of Caretaker explaining to them how adrenaline worked by constricting blood vessels.

It was a terrible idea. Part of Whumpee knew that. But they were desperate, and probably not thinking straight. And they knew that if they didn't stop the bleeding somehow they were going to be dead soon anyway.

Slowly Whumpee's fingers closed around the EpiPen and they dragged it out of the first aid kit and towards their body. It took them several tries before they managed to get the safety cap off, but once they did they held it up with a shaking hand and hovered over a space just above their wound. They knew that when being used for it's intended purpose, you where supposed to stab the patient in a larger muscle. But when used for bleeding Whumpee considered that they wanted it as close to the veins they were trying to target as possible. Whumpee sucked in what they hoped wouldn't be their final breathe and bit the inside of their cheeks to gag their own scream then drove the pen into their muscle with all their remaining strength, pressing the button at the opposite end before the pain could paralyze them.

Please let this work. Whumpee prayed to any God that might be listening. This is my last hope. Please let this work.

Authors Note: I just want to reiterate that I am not a medical professional and am nearly 100% certain that Epipens can not actually be used to stop bleeding. Please don't try to use them for anything other than their intended purpose.

Insane to realize that Julia’s the outlier in Ethan’s love life because his type is very clearly bossy British babes.

#and he’s so valid for that #what rewatching all the MI films in a week does to motherfucker #and yes of course Benji is included in this #mission impossible #ethan hunt #i know MI2 is not regarded fondly but Thandiwe Newton is drop dead gorgeous in that one #and fallout does give a slight nod to her character which is cool #also love that car/motorcycle chases are part of ethan’s love language #tho julia does fit the adrenaline junkie criteria which i always thought was cute #claire’s an interesting case but i think it boils down to the terrible situation and uh some mommy issues #i don’t really count her as a love interest in the same way

I HOWL AND I WHINE, I'M AFTER YOU

#i have mentioned it briefly in the past but im sorry i have to speak it into the world before it shrivels and dies in my mind #it exists as a wip in my google docs but im afraid it will never get off the ground #basically it is vindemiator and fl making a desperate escape from the academy haven #chased and hunted by the enforcers and imperium!lasko #a little bit surreal a little bit horror a little bit thriller #its an exhausted vindemiator and fl running as fast as they can #kicking and tearing through traps #while the alarm sounds in the haven and the chase kicks off #pure adrenaline pure fear layered over with cruel vicious lasko doing his best supervillain mocking voice #FUCK i see it so clearly in. my mind #the soundtracl to all of this is 'hungry like the wolf' by duran duran #PLEASE listen to it it is exactly the vibe i am imagining #plus its just generally a banger #sigh. i have a mosquito bite on my ankle and its REALLY pissing me off

[gloopdimension]

ive been trying to think about just how fast orion could run.

#he could run fast enough that he BLOWS past you and only a few secs later doesthe wind actually hit you and it almost knocks u the fuck over #like his runs are either like. energy-saving STRIDES that he does with his prosthetic #OR! him going like a FULL ON run. usin both feet. which would scare he fuck out of anybody bc its like ***BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM** #combined with the delightfully mechanical clinks from his prosthetic. #my ocs #all i know is. he can run real fast. #AND THE ADRENALINE he gets from it and the EXCITEMENT of a chase only makes him enjoy it even MORE so hes even MORE calculated about it. #HUFF!

I'd rather we not lose any game but I needed this, needed to look this last demon in the eye before the playoffs I think.

#my heart is beating so hard #and despite the half dose melatonin i took half an hour ago i am wide awake on just adrenaline #but the thing is - i qm not being chased by wild bears #they would have won that game 7 if they could have #it wasn't some sort of cosmic justice against me #and this game too - it has no bearing on my life #im just trying (and trying hard) to disentangle hockey from everything else that went down in summer 2019

[depressedstressedlemonzest]

Uh oh.

Watching Twister.

You know what that means.

Gallavich au ideas.

#i can see them both chasing storms honestly #ian for the science #mickey for the adrenaline #but i can also see ian making parallels between the tornado and himself #shameless #gallavich #mickey milkovich #ian gallagher

[tomatolandsca]

Honestly is quite iconic how pointbreak is a movie that's so full of testosterone that it becomes incredibly gay

#point break #keanu reeves #fellas is it gay to make a man chase you to the ends of the earth only for him to let you die in your suicidal quest for adrenaline?? #when you are an fbi agent that lived by the rules your whole life and an insane surfer with lucious blonde hair makes you feel alive #patrick swayze #johnny utah i know what you are

[leqclerc]

Okay, but charles WHAT WAS THE PLAN?? He's so funny. Was he going to make andrea get out the car and fight them

Not Andrea as the muscle help 😭😭😭 Why am I imagining Charles having a polite but firm conversation with them like "raga you have something belonging to me" 😭😭😭

#replies #anonymous #realistically he didnt even think that far ahead and just instinctively gave chase bc of all the adrenaline buzzing #but god damn. this is up there with that time he was (unbeknownst to him) photographed with an internationally wanted criminal #detective/agent charles is underappreciated fr #the way he did what interpol couldnt 😭😭😭

[iridescentis]

I don't know if anyone else gets this but sometimes it's scary how fixated I get on things sometimes

it has only been a few hours but I haven't thought of anything else and I hate it I just want to chill and enjoy things rationally for once man

#this is why the last time i got obsessed with the quarry #i blocked everything about it bc it was too much #see horror does this to me #anything horror related im always terrified but i get obsessed and i hate it #im guessing because horror makes you have more adrenaline and i guess u end up chasing more?? idk how science works lmao #but yeah i even wrote a drabble this isnt like me im the writer who never writes #i dont think im going to put it anywhere because it's only 500 words but still
