REASONS TO CARRY SOMEONE. ( A PROMPT LIST! )

listen, i'm back home now, i'm thinking about things, and i saw the maxton hall gifset floating around and i was like. yk what. carrying people is elite content, and gdi y'all deserve elite content! as always, DO NOT ADD OR EDIT THIS LIST! and there's a lil spicy addition under the readmore, but i left it there just in case people prefer to have a not-so-spicy version.

[ SLUMBER ]: sender picks up and carries the receiver because they're so sound asleep that they won't easily wake up.

[ INTERCEPT ]: sender picks up and carries the receiver out of the room because they're angry and on the brink of engaging in a fight with someone.

[ ASSIST ]: sender picks up and carries the receiver away for medical attention because they've been injured and can't walk easily.

[ HELP ]: sender picks up and carries the badly wounded receiver as fast as possible to the nearest hospital or the nearest place to administer urgent first-aid.

[ ELATION ]: sender scoops up the receiver and carries them away after a mutual victory, or having just received very good news (or maybe they're both just very happy for some reason!)

[ HOME ]: sender picks up the receiver to carry them over the threshold of their new home.

[ AID ]: sender finds the receiver too weak to move, and scoops them up to carry them to get some help.

[ UP ]: sender finds the receiver and picks them up to carry them a distance after learning they're unable to get up.

[ BAREFOOT ]: the sender picks up the receiver and carries them inside because they're not wearing any shoes.

[ WEARY ]: sender notices the receiver about to fall asleep during a task, and picks them up to carry them to bed so that they can actually sleep properly for once.

[ TWIRL ]: sender catches the receiver in their arms and spins them in a neat twirl just because they want to.

[ HERO ]: sender notices the receiver about to fall from a height, and manages to intervene just in time, catching them before they get hurt.

[ FLASH ]: the sender and receiver are part of a photoshoot, and in order to finish the last of the photos, the sender scoops up the receiver in their arms for the final pose.

[ TRAIN ]: during a training session (for a fight or a performance, dealer's choice!) the sender ends up holding the receiver in their arms during their session together.

[ URGENCY ]: sender carries the receiver away from danger after the receiver is revealed to be unable to move, either due to panic or injury.

[ OUT ]: sender grabs the receiver and lifts them into their arms after noticing them swaying and beginning to lose consciousness.

[ SCREAM ]: sender spots the receiver in a terrified or considerably panicked state, and picks them up to carry them to a less terrifying place to calm down.

[ LAZY ]: sender concedes to receiver's requests for a piggy-back ride home because they don't want to walk anymore, and carries them the rest of the distance home.

[ CAREFUL ]: sender gently lifts the receiver out of their seat and carries them carefully to bed after noticing they fell asleep and not wanting to waken them.

[ HASTE ]: in urgent need of getting to safety as fast as possible, the sender scoops up the receiver and starts running because it's quicker and easier to just carry them than expect them to keep pace.

[ FURTHER ]: sender, during an increasingly passionate make-out session with the receiver, suddenly takes them in their arms and carries them towards the bedroom to continue their evening in private.

Left Outside

"Oh my god, you're frozen."

"You're shaking like a leaf."

"We have to get you warm."

"You've gone blue."

"You don't look good. Can you move?"

"Your teeth are chattering."

"Hey, hey, don't fall asleep."

"I know the snow looks cosy but it'll kill you."

"We're gonna get you warm!"

"One hot cocoa, stat."

"Okay, I know you're cold but we can't warm you too fast or you'll get worse."

"How long have you been out here?"

"You might need to go to the hospital -"

"Eyes on me, okay?"

"I'm going to hug you. For warmth reasons."

"I think you've got frostbite..."

"There are icicles on you."

"Your lips are white -"

"Oh, no, you don't look good."

"Hey, hey, don't panic. I got you a blanket."

"They - they left you out here? In a snowstorm?"

"What do you mean they locked the door?"

"Okay, come with me - nice and slow -"

"It's going to be okay, it's going to be fine -"

"Hold my hands. I'll warm you up."

"They're monsters. You deserve to be warm."

"You can't light a fire like that."

"I can show you how to light a fire."

"It's so dark out here..."

"Wait, I think - I see - is that a person? In the snow?!"

[heroesarecalling]

// I have so much muse for sirus pls

[heroesarecalling]

// plotting call (for any muse)

[heroesarecalling]

tacticalempathy asked: ❛ Could we, like, maybe not, with the physical violence? ❜ For Arlo meme. // always accepting!

There's a sharp inhale and exhale from Arlo. The two had been sent to interrogate a suspect and from the moment Arlo walked in to the house there was something that rubbed him the wrong way. The way the suspect talked about the victim, blaming her for her own death; Arlo didn't like it.

Arms crossing across his chest, he lets out a breathless sigh.

"Sorry, he just... he just really pissed me off."

He pauses to give himself a moment to collect himself, to get back on the right track.

"I should let you do the talking from now on. I'll... try to control my anger."

Mindhunter Sentences, Condensed

(Sentences from Mindhunter (2017-2019). Adjust phrasing where needed)

"You're not responsible for diagnosing anyone. That's not your remit."

"Are criminals born, or are they formed?"

"How can you figure out the criminal mind if you can't even figure out your girlfriend?"

"It's not easy. Butchering people is hard work."

"I'm not an expert, I'm not an authority - I'm just an extremely accomplished murderer who spent my adult life successfully evading capture."

"I need you to understand that whatever you think, there is a distinct possibility that he's manipulating you."

"Listen, we need to know exactly how worried we need to be."

"How do we get ahead of crazy if we don't know how crazy thinks?

"You're the modern Sherlock Holmes!"

"It feels good, doesn't it? To fly home having got the bad guy, just like in the movies."

"I didn't see it coming. You could have been killed, and I didn't see it coming."

"What else is a criminal except somebody who can't function in society?"

"You know, psychopaths are extremely skilled at imitating human emotions. It's how they manipulate other people, or how they gain power over their environment."

"The way a person kills is as individual and distinct as the way they have sex."

"It is not an easy thing to break a human being's jaw."

"If you've got all the answers, what do you need from me?"

"If what we're doing doesn't get under your skin, you're either more screwed up than I thought, or you're kidding yourself."

"What's the point in all this if we don't apply it to the real world?"

"I'm trying to warn you that your attitude is going to bite you in the ass!"

"You might not want to follow a federal agent. There could be consequences."

"You've gone quiet. Normally, if I accuse someone of murder, if they haven't done it, they won't shut up. They protest their innocence."

"Is it a fair experiment to be working backwards from a conclusion?"

"I would say that making furniture from human remains qualifies as organised."

"I believe all great things are created in the place between method and madness."

"When we empathise with a psychopath, we actually negate the self. We deny our own beliefs about decency and humanity, and that can be very dangerous."

"Is all of that fresh-scrubbed earnestness just an act, or are you truly oblivious to the wreckage you leave in your wake?"

"To find connections, unfortunately, we have to wait for more bodies."

"Can you see, just for a moment, how it might be perceived when you present a profile without ever having been to a crime scene?"

"Seems to me that everything you know about serial killers has been gleaned from the ones who have been caught."

"Children do not simply forget trauma. No one simply forgets."

"You can't force a square peg into a round hole just because you want it to fit."

"This is his one chance to get the attention he feels he deserves."

"We did our jobs. We have no control over anything else."
