AARON TAYLOR-JOHNSON on set of his new movie called ‘Fuze’ (2025).
Some pictures about Tenet and Inception
I’ve applied for a new Twitter account (鯨) I want to post more Fanart on it ><
No words can describe how much I love time shenanigan romance and the devastation it brings
Thinking about Tenet again, and I'm actually so unwell about it
Like we don't even know the Protagonist's name but the story is all about him, and none of this could happen without him, and no one even knows his name.
And his 2 most important relationships are 2 people he's destined to lose.
He's never going to see Kat face to face ever again. He loves her. Is it romantic, is it platonic, is it just the act of two people who are treated like nobody seeing each other and feeling seen, idk, but the love is there. And they're never going to see each other again because they can't, because it's what's for the best. He's got too many potential enemies and she has to move on with her life, the safety of her son is her priority, and she can't sustain that if she's hanging around the Protagonist.
Don't even get me started on Neil. Neil, who recruits him. Neil, who is fated to die in order for the mission to be successful, Neil, who has to die to save the world. Neil, who is later/earlier on, recruited by the Protagonist. He has to know that when he sees Neil in the future, when he introduces himself again to a man who doesn't know him but who he knows so well he's haunted by him, that as soon as he recruits him, he's signing his death warrant. And he has no choice because the only options are the fate of the world and Neil, but I'm sure he still hesitates because it's Neil. How many hours do you think he wasted trying to find another solution, trying to find a way for Neil to live, only to fail and have to send him off to death anyway because Neil was right all along and, "What's happened's happened." And their timeline is all out of whack, they've each had their first meetings at different times in different orders. And Neil probably figures it out sometime that he's going to die and the Protagonist has lived through it once, because that's just the dangers of the field they're in. Meanwhile, the Protagonist must be counting down the days until Neil's final mission, until his past self meets Kat and Neil and learns about all of this.
Because it's not bad enough that he has to lose both of them once, he knows that in a way, he's going to lose them both again. At least one more time.
Anyway, I have to go lie down and scream don't mind me

I'm the man who can't be moved
Since today's date is sort of a palindrome(?) I decided to break out these earlier pieces like some fine china. TENET is the movie you'd *least* expect me to like, but here we are! It's one of my favourite damn movies ever (both as an extremely convoluted time travel sci-fi/action flick AND as a deeply tragic queer love story)
Oh, and on the topic of all things queer, here's the link to a Spoofy playlist I made for The Protagonist/Neil. They really are my weird little [dis]comfort duo.
Reblogs veeerrryyy appreciated! (And if you give the playlist a listen, tell me what you think!)
