#bless this analysis

Why am I reading this brilliant but heart-wrenching Starscream analysis dear gods this will be a slow painful death

[idealisticrealism]

So I made this post earlier this evening and saved it to my drafts to deal with later...

Just spent like an hour trying to write an in-depth analysis of how I viewed the events of Watershed...

And in the end I gave up because it was simply too tiring haha. Why can't there be someone else who can eloquently put into words why the proposal was seriously really bad but also seemed totally designed that way?

Because wow you can't tell me that Beckett being afraid and conflicted about choosing the uncertain fate of her heart over a guaranteed safe option of an incredible career life and Castle having the best of intentions with something but going about it in completely the wrong way and ending up making a complete mess of it is at all out of character for them

These two are flawed and moronic and totally getting in their own way on a fairly constant basis but they keep trying because deep down they know they found something real and even though it scares the crap out of them both they still want it

And the beauty of each of the mistakes they make is that each just inches them closer to figuring it out; every setback gives them exactly what they need to figure out how to move forward

So, when she says no--

It is the first step towards yes.

  And then I found this.

My prayers have been answered.
