The super bowl or whatever I'm not american

I have been so sad and so sick but my dear friend knitted me a tiny sturgeon and all my chronic pain and illness went away so here he is and hopefully he will cure all of your lifelong conditions

Look I love unconditional devotion love stories as much as the next person, but there's really something so deliciously raw about conditional devotion.

I have served you and I have loved you for decades, but I will not give up my principles for you. You cut out part of my heart and took it with you down that path that you insist on walking, but you walk it alone. Even when the bleeding, gaping hole you left in my chest kills me, I will not follow you.

gameshow voice: is it gay subtext or are the writers just so catastrophically bad at writing female characters that the only relationships in the entire story that feel human are the ones between the men.

Too much movement makes your joints hurt and too little movement also makes your joints hurt. This would imply that there's an optimal amount of movement that allows your joints to not hurt. This is a lie.

Mel practically hanging onto his arm like a monkey.

Langdon dropping everything when he saw she was hurt.

He made a joke to make her laugh and she was able to read the humor in his smile like a book whereas other times the jokes go over her head.

She then made a joke from a year prior that only he would understand, and he still remembered.

Dana and Perlah being confused and hit with "it's an inside thing".

Mel being uncomfortable and overstimulated and Langdon clocking that shit IMMEDIATELY.

Langdon ushering the police out of her room to give her space and even turning off the lights to make sure she won't be overstimulated and giving her a safe, quiet space to decompress.

All the little things between them is making me insane.

They knew each other for a DAY, mind you.

A SINGLE DAY. ALMOST A YEAR AGO.

NOW THEY'RE BONDED LIKE FERAL CATS.

FRANK. I know this scene was only like 2 mins long but i need to lie down forever now 👍

Santos' relationship with Robby as shown in this episode is so amazing. He makes a point of reminding her to go to counseling. Knows how sensitive she can be about abuse cases but let's her keep at it unchecked beyond reminding her not to jump to conclusions. (I don't want to say that he knows, but I get the feeling he might??? And that's so– love it if she truly has found that level of trust with him.) Describes her as "very confident, not afraid to get her hands dirty, strong patient advocate, fearless" when he's questioned on it and makes a point about not letting that be the impression Al-Hashimi gets of her.
