Maze Runner: The Death Cure + Textposts

ok but think about it,, minho ran three years in the maze.

meaning he had a first day of running. a first week. a first month. a first year.

so,, imagine:

he runs the inner sections first. then gradually, he runs the outer sections. mostly alone at first, until alby decides they need partners.

each day his legs becoming more tired. more sore.

he hides it. he hides the pains in his sides as he runs. he hides the pain that shoots up and down his legs from overuse. he hides the fact that his lungs feel like they could explode if he runs anymore.

he hides all of that bc he’s the fastest runner,, which eventually leads to him being named keeper.

none of the gladers know that he spends the rest of his day/night massaging his legs and stretching. none of them notice how his face twitches in pain when he sits down or stands up after sitting for too long. none of them see how hard it is for him to hide his pain not only physically but mentally as well.

it’s not that bad is it?

Minho: we gotta get through this door, but it’s locked. Newt, give me your credit card.

Newt: Here.

Minho, pocketing it: Thanks, Thomas, kick the door down.

THIS edit is my Roman Empire 🙈🙈

The urge to rewatch and reread everything while also wanting to see and read new stuff

okay but if thomas and newt swapped places, thomas would show newt around the glade like:

"i don't really know what that is"

"i've never seen him before"

"do you know what that is? because i don't"

"i tripped over that once"

"twice actually"

"they say it's been three years but i wasn't really paying attention"

"tell me if you see an exit, okay?"

me after my very big walk today

Thomas: *lights a candle* Thomas: Now bitch, help me fight my demons "proceed to kick and punch the air around him* Minho: What are you doing? Thomas: Witchcraft

friendly reminder that the death cure came out exactly five years ago
