Ok so I know I posted the whole set, but I keep coming back to this particular moment-

Because look at this whole situation. Aziraphale steps forward, directly into Crowley’s shadow. Not only is he getting closer, right into his personal space, but suddenly Crowley's face is going to be a lot clearer, not backlit anymore. At the same time the Crowley's hand retreats just a little from almost grabbing and dragging Aziraphale's cravat to doing a pointy finger. And then we have-

Where the eye contact is basically the most indecent thing I've ever seen. It's just... a lot.

PLEASE LOOK AT VIKTOR'S FACE

Jayce's hand on Viktor's neck (the thumb on the angle of Viktor's jaw then under his ear...) seems like it's pulling him closer with the arm movement, he looks at Viktor briefly and closes his eyes, clenching his teeth (to brace for impact I guess), and u can see in Viktor's eyes that he watches him do that THEN also closes his eyes and goes for the forehead touch... he trusts him and follows his move...

also this might just be me but Viktor's expression reminds me of the younger Viktor (obviously he does look younger/healthy here anyway on purpose but yk) bc it feels like a sorta ''oh, okay we're doing that now'' moment he used to have with Jayce of following his lead when he had a hunch or something, it feels genuine, earnest and most importantly, trustful.

idk I might just be insane

EDIT : closer version

Love how your Mirai Nikki header is abt a guy trying to get in a women's bathroom. If even that upsets you, you know yoiur problem, and might as well admit you want women to have their spaces taken from them right away.

You know that’s just what it looks like from the third person camera angle. There are actually both men’s and women’s bathrooms there but he can’t get into either. And seeing as how I’m a short and pathetic transgender guy, I relate to Yukiteru (the guy) and I have kept it there for a while because it’s basically a summary of what my life is while trying to take a piss.

You may see it from your angle as just men trying to get into the women’s restroom, but really both are there, people are just uncomfortable and reject us from using either.

I wanna talk about this beautiful gif of this pivotal moment within this epic fight scene. To me, it's everything they could have had if they would partner up long term, either for light or dark - a perfect symbiosis of controlled strength and raw power.

First of all, it's beautiful even without the yin/yang, light/dark, etc allusions

Rey gets a boost, more power if you will, by balancing on Kylo's back during his backward thrust.

Kylo is directed, without having to look back, by Rey's hand on his thigh (she's the one who looks back)

So anyway, just wanted to say that if they can fight that well together after only being frenemies for a short time, imagine how awesome they'd be as practised battle buddies

While Carmilla is definitely letting her soft side show in Season 2, I want to direct everyone’s attention to the Season 1 finale kiss.

She’s not smiling before Laura says ‘wow’. Because before Laura reacts, she’s scared. The last person she revealed herself to like this turned against her, and threw her into the dark for decades. And even when she does smile, you can see it’s all nerves.

Note how Carmilla’s face falls for a moment. The way her eyes move down so she can put her hands on Laura’s forearms. That’s not an instinctive ‘i want to touch the person I like’ move. That’s a grip to hold her close, because she’s terrified that Laura could still pull away. She can see the way Laura’s reacting that feelings are reciprocated, but she is still so, so scared.

She retrieved a cursed sword from the bottom of the ocean for this girl, and drove it into the heart of the demon that has been plaguing her for centuries. Came back practically from the dead (again) to finally kiss her, and have that kiss reciprocated. 

But she is still so terrified of the idea that Laura Hollis could still walk away.

Carmilla has always been a bundle of PTSD and moral brambles and insecurity issues.

The interview

We have a case

Jenny and Ryan are pregnant

And the not so interesting case continues

Beckett calls Castle and says they need to talk

The fucking swings

Castle speech (and I think he's breaking up with her)

Castle dropping to one knee "Katherine Houghton Beckett...."

... will you marry me?"

I really really love this gif because it says a lot about the kind of relationship zayn and liam have. If you pay close attention, you see that liam's initial intentions were just to flip zayn and pin him to the ground, like he does with any of the other lads. But look closely and you see that as soon as liam grabs zayn, he realizes that he would hurt zayn by tackling him to the ground so roughly, so he kind of slows down and puts his hand on the ground first so he ends up taking most of the fall himself and zayn doesn't get hurt. (even though zayn still ends up on the floor)

It just goes to show that liam was willing to hurt himself in order to protect zayn and this makes me mentally unstable.
