I love watching Moon Knight all over again and noticing things that your first time watching you may have not looked at.
Look at this
Do you know what that is?
Here
Just less than a month after I finished the show the first time I was in Vienna I went to the Museum of Natural History and I read this. The original is in Germany however there was a copy of it there. I went to that Museum two more times and this still fascinated me.
Here is what I took.
I just absolutely love when the writers of a show put things like this. Little references that you don't usually catch normally. The cosmos and Moon Knight, it's amazing.
This brought me so much genuine joy. I got so excited when I was seeing it for the 9th time or something, put it on my IG story and everything.
Might make this a tiny series thing of things I've noticed in Moon Knight.
Bruce: no. unless he’s following a very detailed Alfred recipe
Dick: he can make a banger stir fry but that’s.. basically it
Jason: yes! He’s a good cook. He’s one of the three batfam members that isn’t banned from the kitchen
Tim: if you count microwave ramen/bacon to be cooking, he’s Gordon Ramsay
Steph: no. Don’t even let her near a microwave. Alfred has definitely said something along the lines of ‘Steph. My dear not-grandchild. If you step in this kitchen something will spontaneously combust and I can’t risk my chicken pot pie’
Cass: yes! she is allowed in :) she likes helping out with cooking, appearing by people’s sides with the ingredient they need right before they realize they need it
Damian: he hasn’t even tried cooking. but if he did it’s no. not that he’d burn everything down by accident, it’s just that he’d burn everything down on purpose (understandable)
Duke: reluctantly, yes. has he almost burned toast and cookies too many times to count? yeah. but has he always saved them before it goes up in smoke? hell yeah he has. he’s constantly testing Alfred’s sanity
There is no fear whenever Zoro's around. I mean, have you seen the man ? He's the embodiement of protection. When his strong arms wrap around you at night, when it's just you and him, you never feel safer. He waves away all pains, all worries you can have, allowing you to relax completly. You can rely on him.
Zoro is protective and being his s/o, there is rarely a fight where you end up injured. He knows you're more than capable, of course, and won't ever step in your way because he's aware of how strong you are, but the minute you're in a danger you can't handle, he's by your side, swords out, ready to help you. He'll never leave you if he's not 100% certain you're safe.
Discreet
We all know Zoro is not big on PDA, especially if you two are not in a private place. However, it doesn't mean that he blatantly ignores you. It's very subtle - and it took you some time to finally notice it -, but you can see the loving spark in his eye whenever he looks your way, how his touch lingers when he places a hand on your shoulder and the softer tone he uses when he talks to you. His affection is there, in very small details.
If you're lucky, when he's feeling particularly affectionate, you might witness more than just soft touches and little attentions. Sometimes, when you're walking next to him, his fingers graze against the palm of your hand before gently taking it, his calloused digits rubbing circles into the soft flesh with a content expression on his face. Other times, he might slide an arm around your shoulders, keeping you close. You know better than to point it out to him though. You know he'd shy away.
Intimate
Zoro loves being close to you, be it emotionally or physically. He's always searching for your eyes, enjoying the way your gaze meets his even in the distance. Whenever he's the first you come to for opinions, suggestions or advice, his chest burns with pride because it shows him that he's special in your eyes, just like you are in his.
When you two are alone together, at night or when taking a bath, Zoro holds you tight, chin resting on the top of your head or on your shoulder while sleeping peacefully or soaking in the warm water. After his rough training sessions, he loves when you give him a massage, his sore muscles relaxing under your magic fingertips. Your physical affection is never too much for him, as long as it's hidden from unwanted eyes.
Spent like an hour in bed scrolling Pinterest and tumblr this morning, but then managed to get up and get ready with the help of my morning playlist
Then made some green tea and started with my first study session of the day. I realized that it’s way easier for me to split up my studying into bigger sessions with small breaks and then have longer breaks between the sessions
For breakfast I had the leftovers of yesterday’s dinner (a bowl with half rice half salad as the base, sweet potatoes, edamame, avocado, green onions, pomegranate, roasted pumpkin seeds, chicken and a peanut-mango sauce, it was literally so good)
Afterwards I wrote and researched a bit for my side blog and cleaned the bathroom
For lunch I had spaghetti with cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, fried chickpeas and pesto (aka my version of the most classic Uni-student food)
In the noon it was time for my second study session. This time I had to do a lot of reading. For my break I went on a long walk.
After returning I ended up chatting with my roommate for a while, so my third study session was in the evening
I had scrambled egg and corn for dinner and ended the day watching downtown abbey with my roommate, because she is literally obsessed with that show
