quarterfinals (round 9)
descriptions under the cut
fault hallway -> did you really expect me to cause your death? what about your kids? what about me?
rotps hospital -> "olivia" "elliot"
#what if the deepest truest love you have known is an albatross?#what if it comes with a cost?#what if that cost is the lives of those you've sworn to protect?#what if you're sorry but you know you would make the same choice again?#what if you banished that love?#put an ocean and silence and a decade between it and you?#changed your life and your clothes and your home and your coffee?#and still still still you find yourself back at that very same place? next to them? teary eyed and speechless in a hospital waiting room?#each escape a trap door dropping you back to the moment you realized that not only are you doomed to love every version of this person#but also that you would CHOOSE to?#its a devotion that is intrinsically linked with betrayal#and yet they would each be erased without it#so yes i voted#but really it doesn't matter! these scenes are trick mirrors!#wherever they go that's where they are#(polling)

i don’t know what you guys are all complaining about i love that svu has vaporized olivia from woman on the verge to lady cragen
#she's behind the desk she's giving advice she's scolding the kids#she has a life we know nothing about but we know she's Seen It All and also is Lonely#i haven't been saying much about this season because here is the humiliating truth:#i am letting the cop show make me sad#(i should know better)#yes the lack of eo is a bummer but we've done it before we'll do it again#but having a season of genuinely interesting character work re olivia#to have the narrative directly engage with her as a soft furious grieving woman#to question her state of mind and what she does to herself in service of The Calling#only to not simply backtrack but neutralize her fully…#yeesh#is it a coincidence m has barely spoken a word about svu on any press appearances this season?#well no because what is there to say really#this is not a landmark season and there are zero plans to move olivia forward#she’s right where we left her tune into nbc thursdays at 8pm eastern#BUT what makes me most sad is that this shift was a demand from the viewers#(again! i should know better! and yet!)#i am just. a little heartbroken to have it confirmed that much of the audience loves olivia on the condition that she is Good#not only because she very much isn't#but also because that is boring and dangerous and speaks to our deeply warped perception of what it means to be a complete person#more specifically a complete woman#yet the audience lets out a sigh of relief! saint olivia is back! she is a Strong Woman giving Lawfully Good advice! phew!#remember when she was a little broken and volatile and seeing ghosts don’t worry she’s fixed now :)#please note my reaction is certainly tied to other real life happenings including 11/5 looming#alas it’s where i am#anyways dw you’re a loser

elliot and olivia: seeing how many civil liberty violations they can get away with in under a week
finn and munch subplot:
#one of the Great duos#this is what the current show is missing#@ svu bring back the silly duo#we need one to balance out olivia fighting the horrors#fin and bruno have potential run with it!

yeah, well, you know, i mean. things change.
#i just adore how chris played this scene#like elliot is coming to terms with...something#so focused and careful and weary#olivia rocking back and forth#their knees softly tapping#the best of friends#my god this reminds me of when we were young!!!#svu#eo

playoffs (round 5)
descriptions under the cut
burned steps -> 2. Liv. Meet me downstairs...Liv From: Liv
spooked -> just coworker Things
#if i think about burned steps too hard i fear i may never stop#olivia going to him in the middle of the night#cup of coffee as a white flag#the two of them tender and tired and so damn fond of each other#elliot using his words:#i can’t fight with you like we used to#you left and i was altered and i am too afraid of what it could do to us#no music#no cliffhanger#no teasing#just#two people who need each other#two people who need to be seen by each other#and as this show and Them trudge on it aches my heart more and more#reaching and trying to be better and still so young i could cry i hate it here#(polling)

playoffs (round 4)
descriptions under the cut
you would've loved it -> kathy is brand new dead but liv would've loved their apartment in rome!!!!!!!!!
ohio diner (Kill a Man while Holding Hands) -> i bet that mac and cheese was actually so good, too.
#diner scene is probably a better moment#and i adore the metaphor#but i just have such a soft spot for that scene in the snow#the little smile that slips across elliots face as she trudges towards him#he is mourning his WIFE and that is very real but he is just so happy to be looking at olivia again#the affectionate little eyeroll she gives when he says he's “not big on public speaking”#because she knows this man even still#olivia trying to small talk until she looks like she very well may pass out when he brings up the roman palazzo he lived in#while she mourned him as if he was dead#how all those years she wondered about him and fought for her life and built a family he was thinking about olivia and what she would love#how even though he blew up his life and put an ocean between them to escape her pull there was always a place for her#and of course...elliot straightening and buttoning his coat as noah runs towards them! getting ready to be introduced to her son!#my man. no.#the absolute grief on his face as they run away without him#the cost of his leaving just beginning to settle in#he doesnt even know her boy's name yet#ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh#svu#eo#(polling)
