File:Fitz & Ward Remembrance

Description
"Because of you I'm damaged"

I. am. a. mess. :))))

I was waiting for the confrontation, it was what I was looking forward to the most in Season 2, but now I’m a complete wreck. Bravo AOS writers, you made it a million times more painful than I had imagined it would be.

I love love LOVE that the relationship between Fitz and Ward mirrors Ward’s own relationship to his younger brother. Just like his brother (and Buddy) Fitz is another thing that Ward cares about but ends up hurting. You’ll hear no excuses for Ward’s actions from me, but I find myself more invested in his character this season then I was when he wasn’t Hydra.

I feel like Ward and Fitz are on parallel journeys this season. They’re both at (arguably) the lowest points in their life, isolated from the team and isolated from the women they love (Fitz physically and Ward emotionally). BUT Ward is definitely the cause of his own misery and Fitz’s misery, and I just can’t get over that. Fitz believed in him so much, not just wanted to believe him but actually believed him and tried to convince everyone that Ward was good, that Ward was their friend, that Ward cared about them. But he didn’t count on Ward’s background, that his response to caring about something was to get rid of it or let it down in some way.

People thought that Fitz’s actions were out of character but I actually think the freak out scene in 1x20 proves that they weren’t. Out of all the team, including Skye, Fitz was the most affected by Ward’s betrayal, emotionally and physically. So I’m not surprised his method of communication was to “show” Ward what he did to him; he “showed” Simmons too when words failed him.

Whoops I started writing meta. I’ll stop now haha.

This is my first vid made on Adobe Premiere CC. It’s a different style for me, but I really like it and hopefully I’ll make more on it (if I have any free time in the next few months). I couldn’t think of a good song with lyrics for this vid so I decided to choose this one. I saw it in this incredible Steve and Bucky vid (another painful bromance): Anyway enjoy the vid!

Shout out to Alicia, Hannah, Faayza, and Liesbeth for our post-AOS twitter convos which are almost always in all caps/very very painful.
