stating the obvious here but 35 portland row is so beautiful as a whole.
i mean theres death and misery and reminders of what's lost soaked into the very floorboards, stained carpets and horror stacking up, tragedy you can touch and something you can't look in the eyes waiting with your blood under its nails. but there is also sugar on the table.
there are pictures on the wall and dishes in the sink and beds with extra blankets and laughing you can hear from the stairwell, and i mean you know who it is because you've heard it enough and you know hes throwing his head back because that's how he sounds when he laughs that hard, and I mean sometimes youll still take a blanket from your bed and sit under it with her because it feels even more like home that way. sometimes youll find your clean laundry on your bed and it's still warm.
I mean it is so so so cold outside and its cold inside here too, but ours is a different cold. cold like a hand in yours right before you grab it with your other to bring warmth. it's a gentle kind of thawing when you feel boiling waters steam on your cheeks and it's a gentle kind of thawing when you start to hear the house creaking as a contented sigh, and then you'll sigh too, and i mean theres death and misery and reminders of what's lost soaked into the very floorboards, but when its spring again we'll do spring cleaning together like those happy families on tv. there is sugar on the table for you because someone remembered how you like your tea.
The most important thing about characterization of the Doctor is that they simultaneously be an awe-inspiring ancient eldritch of incomprehensible intellect and power, and also the biggest dork you have ever met.
They walk in eternity, they're made of fire and ice and forever, and it is so embarrassing to be seen with them in public.
I’m crying 😭😭 he trusts them so fucking much
Watching The Corkscrew Job and just ...
Eliot trusting Parker and Hardison enough to go into a situation where he's about to have no oxygen. He would hear over the comms that they're facing down henchmen who are trying to stop them. He doesn't know how long it'll take for them to get air flow happening again.
But there's an innocent person to protect and he has faith in his partners. Faith enough to willingly risk his life time and time again - not just in this instance, but all the others we see over the course of the show. Because Eliot knows that Parker and Hardison will do whatever it takes to protect him, just as he protects them.
There's just something so profound about not even having enough air to draw breath - but it doesn't matter, because you know your partners are out there, fighting to get that next breath to you. And it might take longer than expected. It might not go smoothly, hell, it might not even work at all. But it doesn't matter because your faith in these people is greater than the instincts screaming for oxygen.
Eliot can't breathe without them. But he's used to that - he's been living this way for years already. So he holds his breath and trusts.
I'm trying to prove something.
Revisiting this point from an earlier post of mine about how much I love that Lockwood & Co. specifically does not do this to Lucy:
Can we TALK for a SECOND about how the writers wrote the whole Towel Scene (which admittedly did not make the final cut but still) and managed to make LOCKWOOD the most uncomfortable out of three?? Because he's a massive dork??? Instead of the girl who's literally standing in a towel in a hall with two boys???
Like they put the love of Lockwood's life in a towel in front of him and rather than taking it as an opportunity to objectify her and make her an object of lust, they turned it into an absolutely hilarious moment that showcases not only how much of a dork Lockwood is, but how SAFE Lucy is in that household. Yes it's funny and very awkward but it doesn't broach the sickening feeling of a girl being exposed and unsafe and objectified.
I can't even begin to express how comforting it is, the way this series lets Lucy be safe in this area. I wish I could explain it more clearly but the words aren't wording. Y'all get it.

My tribute to Andre Braugher, thank you for Captain Raymond Holt ❤️✨
Basically the show
Barnes: You're not to operate this agency without a supervisor.
Lockwood: Not to worry! I have a permit.
Cuties
GUYS we got new thinking cloth content from joe cornish's instagram
some highlights:
"George's biscuits, DO NOT TOUCH. GET YOUR OWN LOCKWOOD"
"CEO of cooking" - George
the three exclamation marks after "rumour he was eaten by rats!!!"
"Probably CAT again" in reference to Mrs. Wick's house (it's from the books it's the thing from the books!!!)
Lucy calling lockwood a pedant after he fixes her grammar
"Mustard is the fool's condiment" - Lockwood
Lockwood being angsty and quoting FRANKENSTEIN god i love him
LOCKWOOD QUOTING EMILY DICKINSON "Forever is composed of nows" GOD I LOVE HIM
"George stop being so annoying" - Lucy
"TEA EMERGENCY, we're out of Pitkins! Can you get some from Arif's later? :D" (yes the :D is actually on the cloth)
THE LITTLE DRAWING OF THE TRIO DONE BY ONE OF THEM, IDK WHO BUT IT'S THE CUTEST FUCKING THING IVE EVER SEEN (first image, lefthand side)
I don't know I correctly interpreted who said all of these, but I'm pretty sure blue pen is Lockwood, messy scrawl is George, and slightly neater scrawl is Lucy
Enjoy :)
My all time favorite quotes of Hardison and Elliot showing support for Parker (S02E13 - the Future Job)
Tara: “He is good.”
Hardison: “He should be shot.”
Parker: “…cut off his arms. And his head. Yeah, I wanna kill him. Can we make that happen?”
Elliot: “Yeah, I can. I mean, I could…” (heavily implies murder)
bi culture is having ur first bi panic between glen and maggie from twd
All I could think about when it showed the pit of Tartarus was that that young boy who tapped his mom on the shoulder to make her smile and makes jokes to hide his unease and loves blue food and just wants to be normal and that young girl who couldn’t pick which candy from the gas station and believes love is transactional and was a gift but then a problem and has never seen a movie are both going to fall into that massive hell.
And they are going to survive it. Together.
Random stuff I love. Currently obsessed with Lockwood and co. Pls go stream it on Netflix we need season 2!!
