Dontsayimhere - At Thine Own Risk

about to watch Bastogne, pray for my tear ducts

ok so I came across a little malcolm bright fanfic (don't worry babes, linked below, go enjoy) and it began a lil bit of brain rot so hear me out:

(spoilers for the fic, go read it first if you want, commentary/word vomit bit is below)

ok so in this malcolm has a seizure disorder which Gil knows about, but not Dani. stuff gets figured out, others are updated etc. etc.

BUT

my lil goblin brain couldn't leave well enough alone so after like the third time reading this i've decided to pen (or rather type) these ridiculous things i can just about call thoughts

SO

let's set the scene, malcolm (yh for some reason my brain thinks the name looks better lower case? sorry if that bothers you but now it's slightly more symmetrical?) has a seizure while Gil and Dani are there.

(also not trying to romanticise anything, just going off what i got)

Dani and Gil are both used to the Complete Human Disaster™ that malcolm is so obviously they both know seizure first aid for future reference.

(also gentle reminder, if you don't know this go find out, there's like st John's ambulance videos that make you a functioning member of society in under 10 mins)

now, based on the confidence that each of them seem to have regarding the situation, they keep looking at each other like "huh, they seem to have done this before"

so they end up each thinking that malcolm must have epilepsy/a seizure disorder that the other knows about but they never got told.

they look after him, do all the things you have by now learned in helpful video format (wink wink) and everything is fine, right?

THEN

when malcolm eventually wakes up, and is told what happened he is understandably eloquent in saying "wtf, how, why etc." and his surprise makes them realise that for once he wasn't just conveniently leaving out information.

i feel like this started out fine and got slightly more unhinged and less logical as it goes on but if that isn't life i don't know what is

the point may have gotten a little lost and it petered out a bit but i said a thing and it's done so woo

i love the effect of this film

i think it's so powerful in the last shot especially?

The odd colouring is particular to the LomoChrome Purple 35mm film stock.

i hope both sides of bradley's pillow are cold because mouthing "i love you" to colin right before arthur thanks merlin during their final scene was absolute king behavior

I don’t know what’s more relatable, Bill Guarnere looking like he’s choking laughing at his own joke or David Webster clearly dissociating in the background

read the comments, they are funnier than me but that's what I want to say

— “ You too should know that we would be honored if you decided to stay with us, John.”

— “ Yeah, well I think the Air Force has got other plans for me.”

— “ We also just had to say it out loud.”

this scene is so funny to me. lieb making fun of perconte for crouching down when they're only hunting for a deer. ramirez and malarkey straightening up acting like they weren't crouching down like perco did
