'Why are you doing this?'

'What will you do?'

Every time wulfhalls posts furyjack it’s just agony and pain 💔💔🥹🥹🫠🫠

The fact that the slow burn romance isn’t in your face is what makes it somehow even more intimate and beautiful to witness.

I don’t think we ever see them say “I love you” but their actions speak so loudly that they never needed to. Jack seemed to almost KNOW about the ambush ahead of time, delegating Furiosa to pursuit which quite literally SAVED HER LIFE as we watched the War Boy he allowed to drive the rig get killed almost instantly, which would’ve been her if he didn’t make her drive a pursuit vehicle. Then, he wants her to leave. He shoots the flare, and she almost goes but NO. She’s not abandoning him and she floors it back toward him. And when Jack catches sight of her, coming back to help him instead of leaving for the place she had trusted him enough to tell about, he gets this absolutely haunted, terrified look in his eyes, like he thinks she’s dooming herself by coming back to help him.

But Furiosa doesn’t give a fuck, because he’s the only semblance of peace she’s ever had in this hellscape since watching her mother be tortured and murdered. So she saves him and they begin their grand escape and, with the belief they’ve left the citadel behind them, Jack seems to allow himself to fully realize his emotions for Furiosa, now that they’re driving away from the citadel, now that they no longer need to hide any sort of attachment to try and protect themselves.

And then Dementus. Fucking Dementus has to come along and ruin EVERYTHING. And still, they fight for each other, to protect one another. I didn’t notice this on my two viewings but someone pointed out that after Dementus flipped their car, Jack can be seen reaching for Furiosa, to check on her, and just AHH these two stir up my emotions so much.

Then, as Dementus rants and raves and they’re both probably concussed to hell and in pain, they only have eyes for one another, drawn together, gently pressing their foreheads together, and Furiosa whispers “my Jack,” like an oath, like she knows this is their final moment together.

And Jack, as if sensing the same, allows himself to fully acknowledge and realize his feelings and emotions for Furiosa when he breathes out “my Fury,” barely audible before they appear to share their first gentle, tender kiss, also their last before Dementus rips them apart.

And, like I saw in a fic, someone said that even in his final moments Jack was desperately craning his head, trying to get a glimpse of Furiosa and, in his final moments, his own torture allows Furiosa the distraction she needs to get away to avenge all the things that Dementus has taken from her.

And it’s all just so fucking poetic and heartbreaking and BEAUTIFUL and I need to watch this movie a million times.

Ok but it’s them, just a teeny, tiny bit

Friendship ended with Mad Max, now Praetorian Jack is my new best friend.

#is there anything better than a guy who supports and cherishes a woman without making any demands of her?#helped beef up her wasteland cv#pledged himself to her cause#patched her up after the convoy attack#got her a gun for her travels#always put her first#now that’s romance baby! (via @the-woman-upstairs)

so i feel pretty normal about this

#normalist i've ever felt#yeah i downloaded a cam rip to make gifs and shit WHAT OF IT#I'M FUCKING HUNGRY (via @cerebrobullet)

Do you guys think that, if Mary hadn’t granted the woman mercy, she and Furiosa could’ve made it home? They were able to shoot Mary and have the dog follow the scent of her blood through her sandstorm; if she had killed the woman and no one had shot her, would the dog have lost their scent to the sandstorm? The haunting idea that mercy is what doomed Mary and Furiosa is just so fucking heartbreaking.

I think about it... :(
