The Old Guard - Blog Posts
On a scale of Louis/Lestat to Joe/Nicky, how toxic are your immortal husbands?
Nicky and Joe from The Old Guard is the ultimate gay Enamies to lovers couple.
From killing each other in the crusades, and for about 100 years after that, to loving hitmen/soldier husbands in the movie. If anyone wants to write fanfics I’m here for it.
(I want to read a book about them! Like how the hell did Andy get them to stop killing each other and how did their relationship start?)
wow i can't believe i only started obsessing about Joe x Nicky from TOG like 3-4 days ago. feels like longer honestly.
ok so i was reading some Joe x Nicky stuff a while ago and forgot to close my browser and i was working with someone and was gonna show something on my laptop so i opened it and BAM! Joe x Nicky stuff. I closed the browser quickly and they never asked any questions. So how's your day?
im laughing so much this is great
I saw this on Facebook and I really did make a good faith effort to find the post to reblog, but I failed and I just have this picture. But that’s not the point. The point is…
This is a Joe/Nicky spy AU and I need it right now. (Nicky, of course, is the Michelin critic. Joe is the actual spy.) @raedear when I think “spy AU” I think of you. Are you open to bribes? Abject pleading? How do I make this happen?
just finished rewatching 'The Old Guard' and damn i can't believe i missed all this gay stuff.

(aka, my hc for why nicky likes cooking so much is because it’s what first managed peace between yusuf and him)

thanks for tagging me!!!
3 ships:
Joe x Nicky from the old guard. I watched this movie and then made all of my friends watch it too. I just loved how woven into the story their relationship was. TLDR: I just really like good representation (and also historical fanfic (crusades!!! Literally any other period after 1100 and it isn’t an AU!!!))
Amy Pond x Rory Williams (do they have a ship name? I should probs find out). I just.... love the Ponds. So much. 11 was my first doctor and to this day they are my favourite companions and I love them both and i love their relationship
Tessa x Will or Tessa x Jem from The Infernal Devices. Both god tier ships. The Victorian setting.... the angst,,,,, the absolute unconditional love!!! Especially when they are older and all the kids just look at them and go yes,,, I want that.
Last movie I watched:
The corpse bride! It was really good actually I am a big fan
Last song I listened to:
Either Breathe from In the Heights or Mad Woman from Folklore. I am a big musicals person and also a Taylor Swift fan in amongst the rock and alternative stuff.
Currently watching: The mandalorian! I love the angsty mandalorian and his cute little baby. I’m about to start season two tonight!
Currently reading: Ysabel by GGK. Oo boo I am invested it has history and drama and suspense and throwback slang and also magic so yeah it contains a great many things I like!
Currently craving: either chocolate or human contact. It’s fine schools on Monday so I’ll get hugs off my friends then!
Rules: Tag 9 people who you want to know better/catch up with and then answer these questions. I was tagged by @hlmoorewrites (BTW, I can't wait to read your books)
3 Ships: Rory and Jess from Gilmore Girls. Look, I get the love for Dean but he was never smart enough for her and broke her heart three times; once because she didn't say "I love you" after 3 months and needed some time to sort through everything (kind of like she always does), once because of her feelings for Jess (and okay, I cant fault him for that) but the last time was because of his inferiority issues and I can't stand that. And teice it was in front of a ton of people! He wasn't a good boyfriend. And I hate that Lorelai thought he was because he helped her out so much. I hate that Rpry never saw him for what he was. I mean, even the whole fight between him and Jess was started by Dean. And his whole "I don't have to be nice anymore because I'm not with her but you can't do shit because you are" speech to Jess just made me want to watch Jess hit him. And Logan sucks in ways I don't have to explain. But Jess......he loved her. And yes, he hurt her while he was growing up, but he got better and he apologized and he stood there, beside her, as her friend every time. He helped her get her life back on track after Mitchum destroyed her. Hes got the same love of books, the same taste in music, the same quiet resolve, and he's just perfect for her.
Harry Dresden and Karrin Murphy and I will never forgive Jim Butcher for what he did. Ever.
Eliot Spencer and Damien Moreau from Leverage. Not for any good reasons. Only for the fact that they would be a great destructive force. And I really enjoy the idea of those two tearing apart the world together. I also get a small thrill from the thought of Eliot clawing his way out of hell. Its fun.
Last Song I listened To: Valerie by Ghost of the Robot. James Marsters can sing
Last Movie I watched: wow, you picked the best moment because I haven't wanted to watch anything but movies post gilmore girls. The last one was Riddick, as I ended that trilogy and following on the heels of the Fast and Furious Franchise (except parts 2-4, I couldn't care less for them, and if you're noticing a running theme here, its Vin Deisel. One of my favorite actors because realism be damned is what he does best)
Currently Watching: um......nothing. I just finished Riddick and hadn't gotten around to watching something else. I think I'm gonna re-watch Newsroom by Aaron Sorvino. I'm in the mood for feel good and quick witted.
Currently Reading: Rodham by Curtis Sittenfield, The Last Guardian by Eion Colfer, Harleen the comic book, Minion by L.A Banks and Revan. Im just......bouncing back and forth a lot.
Currently Craving: mental stimulation of a sort. I'm bored but on a mental plane. I wanna do something. Don't know what it is yet.

OLD GUARD 2 IS CONFIRMED!!! I'M SO EXCITED HOPEFULLY I GET TO SEE MY WIFE AGAIN

little update #3 on my kaysanova lino cut:
[here you can find my first and second update, as well as my initial post with the sketch]
I didn’t have a lot of time to work on this recently, but I’m almost entirely done with the black layer (only the border around them needs to go) I still wanted to give an update since it’s been a while
I changed the hilt of nicky’s sword because with this bigger version I went for a more realistic look for the weapons (not realistic just more realistic) and the shape of the hilt ended up looking weird but I’m not entirely happy with it now either. idk
I should be able to print this next week but maybe I’ll also do it tomorrow?? (and yes I am aware that this project is a continuous string of I’ll-do-it-next-weeks haha but maaayyybe this time I’m right) and if I feel like it I’ll also do the coloured layers (or at least one of them)
I also already have an idea for my next big project but that one is more complicated (and time consuming) than the current one and also not within the ballpark of things I’m capable of and I also really should work on some stuff that isn’t fanart
so we’ll see if I’ll actually go ahead with it
Nicolò di Genova - Sword
Today I, a history nerd and relative newbie to the TOG fandom, want to talk about Nicky’s sword. Warning: This post is long.
(ik there are some history-centric TOG pages out there that may have covered this much better than I will, so feel free to leave a link!)
Okay, so just to clarify, we are talking about this thing:
Keep reading
little update #2 on my kaysanova linocut:
[here you can find the first update and my original post with the sketch]
I am now done with about a third (?) of the black layer. this is taking me much longer than I anticipated but right now I'm still having fun with it so I don't really care. I want to finish at least this layer in the next couple of days though.
also (again) a little bonus, the one thing I drew last week:
What do you think Joe and Nicky are doing right now?
Do you think they'll go to Malta for the summer and relax? 🥰🥹🥹
Ok...
I know this is just a silly fun anon ask, thank you so much for sending it to me unprompted Nony 💕💕 and I'm sorry to make this serious... but unfortunately I don't think they would be in Malta this year.
The Old Guard, both in canon and fanon, are extremely involved in humanitarian crises. There is not a doubt in my mind that they would currently be in Rafah. I know that sometimes our escape from the goings on of the world is to think about our fandoms, but we as fans put The Old Guard into every major military/humanitarian event in history, and that's what this is.
I hope that they get some time in Malta soon, I really do. But even if the fighting stopped tomorrow I think they would still be in Gaza for months, if not years, helping.
"We fight for what we think is right."
absolutely losing my mind that this bit after Joe gets back from the supermarket got cut
We’ve been afforded more time than any lovers I can name. And still, every moment we scrape together feels precious.
