Anyone who has clocked my wallpaper and profile pic over the last few years will not be surprised to hear that I am OBSESSED with Capote vs The Swans! The show is magnificent and I am just so glad that this sort has finally made its way to the small screen. Tom is doing a great job, they all are, but Naomi Watts as Babe…?!? Give her the awards! She’s had me cry twice, and I know episode 4 is going to be heartbreaking 💔

Gosh same, I still think about it all these later (far too much!). I did read something somewhere (sometime) that Gibbs was going to have to kill Jenny but who knows

You know what I think about a lot? The NCIS writers strike.

What would they have done with Jenny Shepard? What was the original plan???

I just want to know.

Fuck it. I’m going to Scotland.

Well this episode is added to my queue….

[amphoraeimpetus]

But they are just friends....

if this isn’t the absolute sweetest i don’t know what is. he’s dictating a letter or something to della and notices mid-sentence (as he’s trying to stay awake himself) that she’s just…fast asleep. and he just stops mid-sentence and realizes how late it is and the fact she’s asleep and just smiles like….i’m dead thank you and goodnight 

[amphoraeimpetus]

I approve of this post. @blossom--of--snow now do you get what I was fangirling over??

Della’s Early Season Hair Appreciation Post

I personally love these all for reasons besides Della’s hair but that reason too

The fact they didn’t make a sequel to this when all the chain bookstores were going bust is a CRIME!

Here we are, screaming at the TV when they lean towards each other in rebellion!

The Look

Barbara Hale, in an interview, mentioned that ESG insisted on no romantic relationship written between Perry and Della but that she and Raymond would ‘add in a look’ here and there.

Here and there

You know, so that things weren’t too obvious

As if

we wouldn’t sit here 60 years later and dissect every look

every glance

every touch

and know exactly what BH and RB and all the writers thought went on between Perry and Della despite ESG’s requests

[amphoraeimpetus]

And then…..

Della: *sighs*

Perry: “Why the sigh? I thought dinner was excellent.”

Della: “It isn’t the dinner.”

Only @itssilverinia could pull together a coherent list like this after no sleep! Brava 👏

fav Diane and Kurt scene?

I'm not gonna lie anon, for reasons I can't explain I'm completely incapable of naming just one, even though I actually have a definite favourite. I just felt so bad not listing a couple of other scenes that I love, so I made it a list. You probably won't believe me when I say this but I really tried to narrow this down to a top 5 but I kind of didn't feel like sleeping last night and well... This is not what you asks for anymore but I sort of figured that this is still my blog and so I can do whatever I want with it. And last night I apparently felt like ranking twenty McHart scenes. Anyway... enjoy this.

(Disclaimer no. 1: There are so many more great ones that I would've liked to name, but this post is going to fuck up everyone's timeline as it is, so let's save the idea of me rating every single McHart scene for a point in time where we actually have access to all McHart scenes that will ever exist and then I'll just destroy tumblr and we'll all live miserably ever after)

(Disclaimer no. 2: Also please keep in mind that I finished this list at 7 in the morning, I haven't slept in 24 hours, so it probably won't even make sense to me as soon as I've gotten some sleep)

(Disclaimer no. 3: Apparently tumblr only allows me to put up to ten images in one post (which is rude af in my humble opinion), so I'm going to have to post this gradually in reblogs. I hope it won't end up being too chaotic)

(Disclaimer no. 4: The vast majority of the following gifs wasn't made by me. I'm not claiming that they're mine and if anyone would like me to credit them or take their work off this post, feel free to dm me any time!)

20. The One Inspired by Roy Cohn (3x02 TGF)

The one where Diane comes home after work and Kurt has knotted ribbons around their beer bottles because he's just straight up a lovesick idiot.

This scene, you guys... it's the gift that keeps on giving because I will never stop mocking Kurt for his inability to tie a simple bow. It gave us domestic McHart. It gave us a great kiss. It gave us "Hans and Franz, your safari buddies" and "baby zebra bbq", two of the best things Diane Lockhart has ever said on both shows. It made "Mrs McVeigh" canon. It just deserved a spot on this list.

19. Silver Bullet (2x15 TGW)

The one where Kurt really wants to go on vacay with the idiotic overworked love of his life and tries to talk her into it by agreeing to make it a marriage proposal, because he probably thought, "Huh. Might as well tie the knot [you know, because he's physically capable of that] while we're at it 🤷🏻‍♀️", aka the one where McHart completely owns the idiots in love trope.

This is not going to surprise a single person out there who's part of the fandom because I've been going on and on and on about McHart and Costa Rica for years now, and I won't let anyone hear the end of it. Never. Never ever. You're welcome, world.

Anyway, iconic scene. Deserved a spot.

18. The Wheels Of Justice (4x19 TGW)

The one where Diane short-circuits Kurt's brain by merely walking into the same room he's in.

Also the one where Kurt bursts out laughing at the idea of working on the Colin Sweeney case because it's just so ridiculous: him, the "I don't take on guilty peoples' cases because I have moral standards" guy working on a Colin Sweeney case, a man who's killed approximately 78352 of his wives. Ridiculous... Laughable... Exactly up until Diane bats her eyelashes at him and smiles very sweetly and asks him, "Just do it for me?" while tilting her head aside and yeah, the next scene he's in he's working on the case.

Also the one where the joke's on Kurt.

Underrated scene. Deserved at least three-hundred emmys in the category of "entertaining idiots who deserve an emmy or three-hundred". Didn't get the emmys but did get a spot on this list. And I'd say that's close enough.

17. Day 492 (2x13 TGF)

The one where Kurt said "Go to hell" to a couple of FBI agents and Diane reacts by fucking him while said FBI agents can hear them through the bugs they put in their house.

I honestly don't know where to begin with this scene, I actually tend to completely block it out of my mind because I always feel like it's something we collectively hallucinated as a fandom. But I'm glad I remembered it in time before I finished this list because it's just a god tier scene and the kiss is absolutely perfect and the way he blushes is adorable and the way she smiles at him melts my heart and I'm rambling now but you get it. You get it.

16. Previously On... (5x01 TGF)

The one where Kurt pulls Diane aside from a room full of people to privately tell her that RBG has died because he doesn't want her to find out in an environment where she feels like she has to keep herself together when she really can't and he tells her in a way that almost makes me tear up right now as I'm trying to describe it and he just really wants to be there for her in a moment where he knows she needs him to ground her, as he always does, and Diane, thinking this still has anything to do with politics for him, argues that he doesn't have to pick up those pieces because he doesn't share her beliefs, and Kurt tells her that he can still feel bad for her because this is about them, about his love for his wife who he knew was going to be crushed by this and he genuinely just wants to be there for her because he cares, and she says that she doesn't deserve him and she calls him "babe" in a way I never expected this stupid word to be able to break my fucking heart, and they hug and it's honestly my no. 1 favourite McHart hug so far and now that I'm writing this, I'm realising that this scene deserved to be so much higher on this list but I literally don't have the energy to change it again, so you'll just have to act like this is actually in the top five, along with the other five because numbers don't actually make a lot of sense anyway.

What a scene. I need a glass of water.

15. The One About The End Of The World (3x10 TGF)

The one where we probably got the peak of domestic McHart and Diane's hair is messy and they're both wearing pyjamas and Diane says she loves Kurt and she also says "British, blah blah blah" which is just hilarious, and they're on the couch and they're just so married that I almost cannot believe it but I won't doubt it for a second because it's not like my body could possibly function if it wasn't true.

I just love this episode. I have my fair share of complaints about season 3, but this episode? I loved it so much. It's one of my all time favourites. And I make silly little noises whenever I watch this scene. Absolutely deserved a spot.
