POSSIBLE LEMON AND TANGERINE NAMES/BACKSTORY

OKAY SO FIRST OF ALL HAPPY EID MUBARAK TO MY FELLOW MUSLIMS AND i have just watched bullet train like a few days ago and it ICKS me that i do not have lemon or tangerine's NAMES and their BACKSTORY, so i was thinking i would share my headcanon for how they became brothers and their names and such. first,, their backstory.

OKAY, so i would like to think that they were somewhat FOSTER KIDS, and they had the same foster parents because THAT WOULD BE SO SAD AND CUTE AND I JUST LOVE IT. then they became friends/brothers and grew up to become assassins. the assassins part i don't really have any ideas for, but i would love to hear some thoughts!!! second,, their names.

HOLY HELL, I READ SOMETHING ON REDDIT THAT WHAT IF LEMON WAS OBSESSED WITH THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE BECAUSE TAN WAS NAMED THOMAS AND LEMON JUST LIKED TO ANNOY HIM WITH IT, AND I THINK THAT IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE LIKE HANDS DOWN, TANGERINE IS NOW THOMAS TO ME. for lemon, i would like to think he was a percy(let's be real he does look like a percy). however, if i were to not go off on thomas the tank engine, i would say tangerine looks like a solid james and lemon looks like a peter.

PLEASE TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS I NEED IT

Could I request a lemon x reader (from bullet train obvi) where they’re in a relationship and they both find out they’re on the same train?

❥ of course! i'm so excited!! my first bullet train request ৻( •̀ ᗜ •́ ৻) p.s. i am so sorry this was really late!

coincidence pairing: lemon x gn!reader genre: established relationship, sorta fluffy, i had no idea how to end this warnings: mentions of blood, injury, lots of swearing cause its tangerine and lemon word count: 1k

y/n smiled as they stared at the last text message they received from their boyfriend. they were on a bullet train in japan for a little one-person vacation while their partner was off in london doing his usual job, whatever that was.

they placed their phone on the table facing downwards, staring at the sticker of edward, a thomas and friends character, that was placed on the back of their phone case. y/n had received the sticker from their boyfriend from a while back when they first started dating. he had immediately labelled them as an edward after noticing how they were willing to listen to his problems when they noticed he was having a bad day(he was taking his frustrations out by kicking a trash can so it was quite obvious). 

they yawned as they made themselves comfortable on the seat in economy class. just as y/n was about to close their eyes, the sudden vibrations from their phone caused them to open their eyes wide. they picked it up and saw a name that brought a grin to their face.

sliding the answer button, they placed the phone to their ear. “hello, there, handsome.” y/n greeted in a flirtatious tone, receiving a chuckle from the other end. “hello, love.” lemon answered back, equally as playful.

“so, to what do i owe the pleasure?” y/n asked, “what? i can’t call the love of my life every now and then to check up on them and see how they’re doing?” he asked back cause them to giggle. “you may. though, you act as if i could die in a matter of minutes if you don’t call me every hour.” y/n joked but there was no laughter coming from him. “right. well, where are you now?” he changed the subject, they were a bit curious as to why but decided not to speak up about it. “on a bullet train, heading from tokyo to shin-osaka.” lemon was silent for a while after that.

on his side of the call, he was looking around the train from his seat. “you’re… on the bullet train… now?” he asked slowly, “yes, love.” they nonchalantly answered, a bit confused. “which train?” “the tokaido shinkansen.” lemon could feel his heart drop. he couldn’t hear the rest of what his partner was saying as he tuned out. “...that mascot thing is so cute-” “i gotta call you back, sweetheart.” he suddenly said when he saw tangerine signalling him to get off the phone. “stay out of trouble, yeah?” y/n snorted, “yes, dad. i will definitely stay out of trouble.” lemon rolled his eyes, “i love you.” “i love you too.” as he put the phone down, tangerine eyed him up and down.

“the bloody hell’s wrong with you, mate? look like you just seen a ghost or sum’in.” he commented, looking at the walkway to see if anyone was there. “y/n’s on this train.” tangerine raised an eyebrow, “so?” “so? what if they get hurt or worst?” his brother only snorted, finding him ridiculous. “why the fuck would they get hurt? don’t be absurd, lemon.” he told lemon, who was still looking bothered.

tangerine sighed, “this is why, as assassins, we don’t date. remember, we’ve got a job to do.” he nodded his head towards the sleeping figure in the other seat beside them. lemon nodded, “right.” “they’ll be fine. trust me.” tangerine assured and lemon gave him a tight-lipped smile.

the train ride for y/n was quite boring. they didn’t really know what to do for the next few hours of their trip. they decided to read a book or two.

after an hour of nonstop reading, they stretched and got out of their seat to go to the restroom. just as they were getting out, a man with long blonde hair and thick-rimmed glasses bumped into them. “oh, shit. i am so sorry.” “oh, it’s alright. coulda happened to any one of us really.” y/n smiled before moving aside to let him pass, “arigato!” he said with his american accent, y/n stared at him weirdly. “...okay.” they muttered quietly as they walked the opposite direction.

honestly, peeing was exactly the thing they needed. y/n checked their watch and realised they still had an hour or so before their stop. “god, i hate travelling.” they said to nobody but themselves as they finished up their business, wiping themselves and flushing the toilet. while they were washing their hands, they heard a loud knocking on the door. "come out, you dick! i know you're in there!" a growling voice yelled, startling y/n furthermore.

now, this would usually scare the living shit out of y/n but the thing about this was that the voice sounded exactly like their boyfriend. y/n slid the door wide open, and to their dismay, they were correct.

there stood lemon wearing a tie and jacket, bleeding from the nose with a decorative cut on his cheek.

"oh shit." he muttered to himself when he saw them, rubbing his temple with his hand. "lemon?! what are you doing here?" y/n asked, "and what on earth happened to your face?" they grabbed his face with both hands, turning it to the right and left direction in order to see the bruises better.

lemon grabbed their hands gently, "hey, hey, hey, don't mind these. they're nothing." he cooed, "i'm- uh- shocked! to find you on the same train as us, that is." y/n gave him a weird look, "us?" they asked as they were fully sceptical. "me and tangerine, o'course." he explained, but his lover only scoffed.

"wow, without me huh?” lemon couldn’t tell if they were serious or joking, but either way it didn’t stop his sweat from dripping down the back of his neck. “hey! what about this: i’ll join you once i’ve found tangy, and we can all ride the train together, hm?” he suggested with a nervous grin, y/n rolled their eyes. “alright.” they agreed, lemon subconsciously let out a breath of relief.

just as they were about to go opposite directions, y/n grabbed his sleeve. “don’t ditch me, yeah?” of course, he did exactly that. what? he had to go retrieve that briefcase he technically lost.

I have... pondered, about Bullet Train, and came to the conclusion that the next movie (if next movie there is, otherwise that's what fanfic is for)

-should still be in a transport. Metro, bus, tram, elevator, telecabine (the thing for ski), cruise, i don't care, just gotta be on a transport that makes a few stops.

-should have the fruit twins. Otherwise I'm not watching and I know a lot of people are not watching. We need Tangerine and Lemon and that's a fact. They can even get other names if they want (not against the flower names, not against peanut butter and jelly, go ahead guys)

-should have a dog. Yes, a dog. I have decided that whatever transportation there is, there'll be a dog somewhere. We got a snake this time, give us the dog next. In fact, get John Wick next. Crossover of the century. Give us a dog. Please.

-should include random resurrections just for the heck of it.

-should have random items as weapons. I'm talking toasters, lamps, skis, milk crates, phone chargers, tourist guides, knitting needles. The chopsticks and water bottle in the movie were awesome, I need more of it.

-should have more grandmas. I think every action movie should have a grandma. She doesn't even need to do anything, really.

-should have all the characters, especially Tangerine, get messier and more bloody as it goes. Am not talking full gore, am talking sexy blood. And messy. Tangerine with curls has my heart and soul.

-should have Lemon finally telling us what train he is, and describe to us all the trains. I NEED to know what train I am and he is the only person I trust to tell me.

-should have the fruit twins doing common siblings activities and shenanigans -being competitive, finding ridiculous nicknames, having a "YES" "NO" "YES" "NO" argument, falling asleep on each other's shoulder, taking ridiculous pictures of the other, all that-

-that's my list of demands, if they are not done i shall cry myself to sleep and write fanfictions. Have an amazing day ^-^.

I felt that review on so many levels, the accuracy of it all 😔😔😔😔😔

stuff i liked about bullet train (2022)

a semi-exhaustive list of my thoughts when watching the movie in the theater and proceeding to freak out about it for more than a week straight

spoilers under the cut!

staying alive in multiple languages really scratches the itch in my brain

its so funky i cant stop thinking about it

THE TITLE CARD WAS SO PRETTY

AND THE CHARACTER INTRODUCTION SCREENCAPS WERE BEAUTIFUL IT LOOKED JUST LIKE A GAME

idk why but brad pitt actually looks like a ladybug in the movie

i cant place it but its just there in my mind

Bucket Hat Brad TM

the glasses were so cute

THE CITY WAS SO GOOD DAMN

THE NEON LIGHTS REFLECTING OFF THE RAIN PUDDLES WAS SO– *SCREAMS*

the truck that almost ran over ladybug in the first part was the same truck that lemon hit the prince with

from the moment i saw tangerine i knew everyone would be thirsting over him

i was right

BUT WHY DID HE LOOK LIKE A MONKEY WITH THAT BEARD THAT BOTHERS ME TO THIS DAY

the entire "17 kills" montage was so funky and fun i enjoyed every single second of it

@fatconut said they looked like a couple of youtubers streaming in this gif and i can't get it out of my head this is your fault

i saw on imdb beforehand that logan lerman was there and I MISSED THE FACT THAT LEMON PUT A PERCY STICKER ON HIS FOREHEAD

THAT WAS SO FUNNY

BUT AS A PJO FAN I WAS MAD AT MYSELF FOR NOT NOTICING IT AGH

lemon constantly infodumping and ranting about thomas the tank engine was something i related to on a spiritual level

that man is REALLY OBSESSED and i am here for it.

WHY IS THE PRINCE SO PRETTY LIKE I WAS SCREAMING AT HOW GOOD LOOKING SHE WAS

the schoolgirl outfit threw me off but she's committed to the aesthetic and i applaud her for that

the entire white death scene with him doing the revolver thing was so damn cool like oh my god

paired with the slo mo

im screaming

SO

CHANNING TATUM WAS RIGHT

ATJ LOOKED SO SO GOOD IN THIS MOVIE

like the scene where he gets off the train to confront the gang members as proof

and the camera was slowly spinning around

AND THE SLO MO??

i'm aroace but DAMN HE LOOKS SO FINE

it's so bonkers that everyone

and i mean EVERYONE

on the train is so good looking

like the wolf??? his outfit is so well planned

he has such a good sense of fashion

AND THE SCENE WHERE LADYBUG USES THE BRIEFCASE TO DEFLECT HIS ATTACKS

THE CHOREOGRAPHY WAS SO GOOD IN THIS MOVIE IT REALLY BLEW ME AWAY

on another hand, ladybug leaves a trail of dead bodies in his wake

and they were all mostly unintentional this is so funny to me

like imagine him going for a nice retreat in like hawaii or somewhere

and someone rats him out and it turns out to be one of the wolf's gang members or something

and then a coconut or pineapple just falls from above them and. clunks the bad guy in the head

it's not even intentional lmao

ladybug just wants to enjoy his life

he's so pissed over carver's stomach thing

let this man rest

tangerine definitely has anger issues

when ladybug kicked him off the train

"that door is closing" THE PUN

he's so committed and so pissed off at bucket hat brad

he literally screamed when he chased the train

AND THAT MAN HAD THE BALLS TO JUMP ON IT

no you don't understand he keeps surprising me every single time

my dad was sitting beside me in the cinema and he audibly exclaimed when tangerine cracked the window in like only 4 punches

that man is STRONG strong

THE FIJI WATER BOTTLE LMAO

WHEN LEMON WAS INTERROGATING THE PRINCE HE KEPT DRINKING THE SPIKED WATER

I WAS INTERNALLY YELLING FOR HIM TO STOP

the ladybug fight with the hornet was so fun

and it was kind of ridiculous how she died

but ladybug literally said "i got infected so you have to be infected too"

"i'm mansplaining again, sorry"

he knows his mistakes

ALSO. THE CINEMATOGRAPHY WAS SUPER CREATIVE HERE

LIKE

OKAY

THEY'RE NOT REVOLUTIONARY BUT ITS RARE TO SEE SOMETHING THAT FUN THESE DAYS

it's so funny to me how the elder uses his cane to pick up the briefcase and hand it to ladybug

either his knees and back are too weak since he's old (but he literally fought the white death with a sword so that's an unlikely reason)

or he's just into the wise old man aesthetic

i don't know

when the white death and his henchmen were waiting for the train at kyoto

the scene was so ominous oh my god

the fog

the music

the slow panning

it's such a strong contrast from the other stations

like the other stations were a bit plain and busy like a normal japanese subway

but the one in kyoto was entirely filled with fog and mist and you can't really see the ground and the land behind the white death

it was crazy

• RYAN REYNOLDS

all the plot points slot together so well

agatha christie would've loved this

the white death's wife was fridged in the most insane way possible

and her husband is super delusional

like dude

your wife died because of ryan reynolds and now you've hired multiple assassins to kill each other on a fast-moving bullet train

hollywood should really hire him to write their movies

this guy has some really good ideas

there's a snake in the toilet

THE FINAL FIGHT WAS SO INSANE

THE ELDER'S SWORD WAS SO SHARP IT LITERALLY CUT THROUGH THE SEATS AUGHDJGH

HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO BLASTING THROUGH THE CINEMA SPEAKERS AT FULL VOLUME REALLY SOLD IT

IT WAS SO GOOD I REALLY WANT TO WATCH IT AGAIN

I WAS SUPER HYPED

AND THE PART WHERE THE TRAIN HURTLES OUT OF CONTROL AND EVERYTHING WAS FLYING

YOU CAN TELL THEY SPENT SO MUCH TIME WITH THE CGI BECAUSE IT LOOKED SO GOOD

I WAS SUPER IMPRESSED BY THE FIGHT SCENES DAMN

unfortunately they've caused thousand of dollars yen in property damage

like honestly

who would pay for all this

(the elder, probably)

and then the white death was giving his entire speech

with the prince's gun

and i was like

OHOHOHO GO FASTER

TRY TO SHOOT LADYBUG

I DARE YOU

it was so satisfying when it backfired because he deserves it

BUT A CHUNK OF HIS HEAD LITERALLY GOT BLOWN OFF AND I WAS LIKE WOAH

THE LEMON/TANGERINGE REVENGE SCENE WAS SO SYMBOLIC BUT AT THE SAME TIME SO FUNNY

LIKE IMAGINE RUNNING OVER A GIRL WITH A MACHINE GUN WITH AN ORANGE TRUCK

Conclusion: i love this movie way too much and i don't plan on stopping soon

Sorry but I saw this and...

(What's written on the image) (idk how to do this help)

Ladybug: Character ties their hair back/up and becomes very efficient. They could do anything. They could win an argument with God.

Tangerine: Character's hair is loose when it's normally contained and they are kind of feral. Nothing can stop them. They could win a fight with God.

(@dawn-the-rithmatist was the op I think)

Where the hell was the Bullet Train driver

so stupid

I love the book version of ladybug from bullet train sm

🚄 I love this movie so muchhh!!💖💖💖💖💖

🐞 ✨lucky boy ✨🐞

Bullet Train is my new obsession now, nobody say anything-

was rewatching the movie (again!!) and noticed a lil something

okay so you know how Tangerine and Lemon in the movie discuss their (very sophisticated) code names for their job on the train?? and how outside their Kyoto job, they don't actually go by Tangerine and Lemon????

but despite that, they've taken the effort to change their pfps to images of a tangerine and a lemon respectively???

with this in mind, does this mean they change their pfps to reflect their code names for every job they take?? why???? why do they need to do that???

right off the bat, I think Lemon's definitely the one who does this (because Tangerine would insist it's unprofessional, or something). this is his phone, after all.

BUT, is this only on his end, or does he force Tangerine to change pfps on his phone too because he wants them to match?

if ever, I bet Tangerine just lets him do it because he knows, through experience, that it's best to just let Lemon do His Thing instead of fighting it (Lemon always gets what he wants in the end anyways so he just gives up :D), even if he thinks it's dumb.

going back, why? assuming their phones are burner phones they use specifically for their jobs, they're probably going to (or were supposed to) throw them away the second they finish their current assignment. they probably don't contain any identifying information for their own safety.

if we go with this, then that means that changing their pfps was just a thing Lemon wanted to do for no reason other than just. wanting to change their pfps :) and Tangerine lets him because it makes him happy

ik it's a really small and dumb detail shown for literally 3 seconds but I think it's very silly and cute idk!! 🫠🫠 I love the Fruit Bros so much

(p.s. still going crazy over the 🍊 emoji being officially named tangerine and NOT orange. Bullet Train fandom we won)

Bonus doodle below except its REALLY old like almost 2 months ago TW: Blood!!

BT doodle dump !! I just had these sitting in my files and I don't really like how they turned out, but I'm satisfied enough to post them :)
