'god i can't believe my husband worries so much' *immediately does insane shit as an unarmed noncombatant*

i love him.

i LOVE this. tailgate committing so hard to the bit he won't give up faced with a bomb, and his sneaky use of rewind being the trivia guy who loves to explain shit to make it work. it's that very weird tailgate combo of anxiety and arrogance that makes him neat!

one of the more horrifying LSotW concepts returns! (I should have kept a tally for Last Stand s1 callbacks.)

Rewind's little aside is pretty funny, especially as it turns out Rewind actually wasn't around for a chunk of the war and is a noncombatant.

this is an interesting moment. it is the bit where it seems to totally commit to them as romantic, at first glance... but there is a very technical plausible deniability left in by using a made up replacement for 'husband', even one as blatant as conjunx.

this was once going to be verrry important. skipping ahead for the second, but they really work to emphasize his camera is on.

i wonder why tailgate is so nervous- must be that he's used to easy kills with little fleshy organics.

i love the framing with them teeeny in the back, makes it feel like a splash page using less real estate, by conveying scale.

first timeskip! the black guttering used works better for visual clarity than just rounded corners here, but it does always look slightly jarring to me? ah well.

love me some gratuitous robogore. ah swerve. bless.

oh look it's 's namesake!

i love the idea everyone wants rewind around to record what they do. he's like your midtier youtuber friend you want to put you in a vid. lmao

i love the image of him doing this. at least someone's having fun on this roadtrip from hell.

this is perfect. the title at the very end. the fact the reveal is restrained to the last page. no further explanation is needed, it immediately just coheres. 'an intimate beheading'. that this wasn't PLANNED fucking floors me.

this is a bit of a 'ignoring bits of other canon' moment, though not unreconcilable as a bit of dramatic irony.

but autocracy did come out like. recently. so a bit odd. otoh autocracy makes VERY little sense itself in the timeline, so.

oh no. :(

(seriously, they get you attached to this guy, and these two, SO fast. this legit makes me FUCKING SAD.)

i like the idea a surgeon is useful because it's wired into a body. that's great.

they really sell me on these two. i do 100% believe in the dynamic set up here, with the little affectionate asides earlier and the confidence it's presented with.

yes yes foreshadowing, but also, rewind and rung come up surprisingly often in little ways, and i think that potential was a little untapped for story opportunities. that bit where rewind reacts to rung's transformation noise in LL 23(?) is in the *notebooks*!
