“you think you know me? well, i know you, deputy marshal raylan givens.”

Justified rewatch and I fear this is my new hyper fixation. I’m older and wiser and Boyd and Raylan are clawing at my insides.

[boiled-turnip]

I love the scene in Justified s6 where Raylan finally admits that Boyd is the only thing keeping him in Harlan and Boyd immediately goes, “Ohhh it’s like that huh??” and asks him if he wants a kiss. Cuz up until this point Boyd is the one who keeps accusing Raylan of having eyes for Ava and staying cuz he thinks he’ll win her over, and I like to believe that Boyd always knew he was what’s tying Raylan to Harlan but never thought that Raylan would have the emotional bandwidth to come to this conclusion himself and so Raylan would search for another reason in his mind to stay (aka Ava). And Boyd’s internal dialogue in this scene is essentially, Oh we’re acknowledging your weird soul tie with me that won’t go away until you put me in prison for life or into the ground now. I didn’t know you could do that. And from this point on he stops being suspicious of Raylan and Ava getting together lmao.

the character work in the X-Files pilot is exquisite. the first time I watched this episode, when Scully grips her arm rests on the plane and Mulder just rolls over to look at her while he lounges across a whole row like it’s nothing, I was like OH it’s like that? in that moment I got them both. the X-Files overall is great at making Mulder and Scully full people by giving them traits that are just part of them, and they’re almost never remarked upon or central to the plot, they just are. and that’s the whole pilot. Mulder reads his future partner’s senior thesis to get a sense of her. he makes every space his own but can never get comfortable. he takes runs but would like a running partner. he never seems to sleep. he’s wild eyed, but he still wants to back up all of his ideas with proof. Scully admits when she’s scared. she’s curious and she works late and she laughs when she encounters something she doesn’t understand. but she has Mulder figured out immediately, and she calls him on it. (“better than you expected, or better than you hoped?” like hello!!! that’s PERCEPTIVE, babe.) and it is remarkable that Dana Scully, skeptical scientist doctor, wears a cross necklace and it’s never commented on. no dialogue about what a mystery she is because she has religious faith but doesn’t believe in aliens. Scully’s just Scully. she isn’t someone to be solved. (neither one of them is treated as a puzzle to be solved; because they just get each other right away, and because the show gets them right away, the x-files doesn’t waste time making us ask who these people are. the question is always “what will they find out there?” they are the constant, not the variable, which is why they’re the heart of the show.) they’re going toe to toe the whole time, but every challenge they throw at each other only makes them like each other more. the pilot just gets immediately that these two people recognize integrity in each other. honestly Chris Carter made a faustian bargain to write eight good episodes of television and the X-Files pilot is one of them

One night after a tough game, JJ convinces Shane to go to a bar with the rest of the team. He tried to turn him down bc he's beat and just wants to go to his hotel room and get some sleep before an early flight tomorrow, but JJ had already anticipated this and got Hayden in on it so he wouldn't let Shane into the room. They end up going to the nearest bar they find "Come on Cap just an hour or two and we'll let you go it's right around the corner" and said bar happens to have a mechanical pull riding machine (no clue where these exist in Canada just dw bout it). Shane's competitive ass sees everyone there including his teammates fail miserably, so he decides to give it a shot to show them how it's done. Everyone is like haha until my boy is up there and lo and behold Captain Hollander is... really fucking good at bull riding? They all know Shane never half asses anything in his life but where the fuck did he learn to ride like this!? And Shane deadpans "It's about balance and relaxing your hips to move in rhythm with the movement instead of fighting it" and everyone's like ok sure??? Anyways, someone in the bar is a hockey fan and recognizes Shane and takes a video of him bull riding. In less than 15 minutes the clip is blasted all over social media and everyone is collectively losing their shit over Hollander wearing a backwards cap moving his hips in a way no human should be allowed to and riding like his life depends on it under dim sexy red lighting.

Cut to Ilya Rozanov hundreds of miles away up at 3 in the morning almost breaking his phone screen from how hard he's gripping it after replaying the 7 second clip for the 200th time and he's never been more hard in his life.

And he's the only one who knows where Shane Hollander learned to ride.

how it feels to call the fan favorite character a misogynist

[perlukafarinn]

They're shooting the shit in the Centaurs' locker room after practice and somehow the conversation gets around to hall passes, which then somehow, inexplicably, evolves into the guys talking about their 'exceptions'.

"Exceptions from what?" Shane asks, confused, only just now tuning into the conversation after spending the past ten minutes finishing up his routine (tm).

Dykstra shrugs. "Like you know how everyone has one person they'd theoretically go gay for?" Then, realizing who he's talking to, "Or straight for, I guess."

"I don't know," Shane says. This team really is different from the Metros. "Is this common knowledge?"

"Kind of," Holmberg chimes in. "Like for me, it would be Jason Momoa. I mean, have you seen those arms?"

Shane doesn't know who Jason Momoa is, so he just politely nods.

"I'd go for any of the Chrises, really," Hayes says. "Hemsworth, Pine, Evans..."

Ilya blows a raspberry. "Such basic answers. And this is blatant discrimination, how am I meant to play?"

"I'm picking that bartender at Monks with the snake tattoo," Young says, blatantly ignoring his Captain. "He seems like the sweet but dangerous type, you know?"

"It's not just celebrities?" Shane asks. "Are you actually gonna ask him out, then?"

Young shakes his head. "It's still just theoretical. I've never met a guy I'd actually go gay for but this is like... if I had to pick a guy."

"What about you, Hollander?" Dykstra asks, elbowing Shane. "Who's your exception? Theoretical, obviously, we know you're super gay."

"I'm regular-" Shane presses his lips together, annoyed. "Whatever."

"Don't be boring and say Rose Landry," Ilya warns.

Shane was gonna say Rose but as he pauses to think, he realizes he's got a better answer. "Actually, it would probably be Sveta."

Ilya blinks. "What?"

"Svetlana Vetrova," Shane says, like Ilya's issue is not knowing which Sveta he's talking about. "She's pretty, we get along great. And she knows everything about hockey, so we'd never run out of stuff to talk about."

Here is where Ilya should make fun of Shane for picking a beautiful woman he'd theoretically sleep with and only wanting to talk to her. About hockey.

That is what he would do, if his brain wasn't still lagging three paces behind. What the hell does Shane mean he'd go straight for Sveta?

"Nice pick," Dykstra congratulates him on. "She'd go for it, I think."

She would. This is terrible.

"Does that matter?" Shane asks, wanting to know the exact perimeters of this game. "Does that get you extra points?"

Dykstra laughs. "There are no points, it's not that kind of game."

Shane hums and promptly loses interest, realizing this is not something he can win at.

Meanwhile, Ilya is still quietly stewing over it would probably be Sveta. It's stupid and on some level, he knows that. Shane is super gay, no matter how he protests that moniker. Even if he wasn't, Ilya is it for him. There is nothing for Ilya to get jealous over.

Still, he should probably remind Shane who he belongs to. Thoroughly, over the course of a few hours.

Just in case.
