[#i also think she's been saying it for awhile now and we just haven't seen it] YES ME TOO. Not looking forward to people whining about how the first time we see it is in a life/death situation again, even though it would be weird if she didn't say it then
yeah i’ve never really been waiting for beckett to say ‘i love you’ because i feel like she’s said it so many times off-screen and also that her actions always speak way more than her words, so we never really needed to hear it when we could see it so clearly? but i’m obvs not against her saying it either. i was super happy with how it came out in 5x19, though i guess not everyone sees ‘that’s one of the things i love about you’ and ‘i love you’ as the same thing, which is totally understandable. but yeah, now that it does seem certain that we’re getting an actual ily, i’d rather it not be in the heat of some dangerous moment thing because i prefer the quiet, intimate moments for such situations so much more, but like, i also love drama?? wow this got super long and i never really said anything concrete i just have a lot of thoughts about this!!
