"I know, it's not exactly my idea of small talk either, but it's something we need to discuss." She brushed her fingers through his hair, resting her hand at the nape of his neck. "It's not so much the content of it, more what happens after I…"

Jethro glared at the words written in front of him. Her will wasn't more than a couple of pages, stipulating he was set to inherit almost everything in the event of her death, with the exception of a few other people.

"Yeah," he muttered hoarsely, "ever thought what would happen if I died first?"

For all the ✨ AMAZING WRITERS WHO AREN'T NATIVE SPEAKERS AND WRITE IN ENGLISH ✨ I bring you some amazing apps to improve it and to help you with your writings. So if you know someone who can find this post useful, tag them!

The examples are in spanish because it's my native language, but all of them have a lot of other languages to use.

◾ GOOGLE DOCS

I use this app to write. I'm sure everybody here knows it, so I'm just going to point out the autocorrect it has. Whenever you write a word, a sentence, or a verb that doesn't have sense, it will be underlined. And the autocorrect will show you the correct form to write it.

◾ GRAMMARLY

I use this app to re-edit my writings. It does the same that Google Docs but it also gives you synonyms for any words. Even so, on its web page, you can find all its functions. iPhone version and Android version.

◾ REVERSO CONTEXT

Please, don't use Google Translate!!!!! Reverso Context is really amazing. I use it for words, expressions, and sentences. It gives you a lot of options and examples, and you choose the one who fits better for what you are trying to express in your writing. iPhone version and Android version.

◾ WORDREFERENCE

This app is very similar to Reverso Context but it only works with words, not sentences. I only use it to find synonyms. The good thing it has is that this app includes a forum where people ask for expressions that, for example, are very common in the USA or England and you don't know. Or expressions in your language that don't have any sense if you translate them literally, but they have a similar expression in english. iPhone version and Android version.

◾LINGUEE

This one is also similar to Reverso Context and WordReference, but it's the one I less use. iPhone version and Android version.

SPREAD THE WORD! And if you know or you use another app for your writings, lemme know and I will add it to this post! ✨

I feel this in my soul

sometimes being a writer is realising that you can write the most self indulgent, soft moments between two characters and no one can stop you

“Gary Cole is amazing,” Kahl states. “You don’t replace a Mark Harmon, but I really can’t think of any show that has done as great a job replacing really major characters over the years, and really staying top of mind for viewers. You talk about somebody stepping up almost seamlessly into a role, and Gary Cole is the best.” -  Kelly Kahl

WHAT THE??

Fuck you Kahl! Nothing against Gary Cole since it’s not his fault but Mark Harmon fucking carried the show for almost 20 years on his back, stayed when he wanted out, worked harder and longer than any of the other cast members, was the to go guy for everyone on set and your fucking network did nothing to protect him when the lunatic spread her lies about him and now you say this? 

Mark Harmon deserves better than this shit. He IS the show and nobody can replace him, nobody. Not even Gary Cole.

NCIS - Gibbs Infectious Laugh/Smile

A sure way to brighten your day.

[jamjar98]

The fact that I am a few years older than NCIS' run on TV is testament to just how damn long the show has been on our screens.

My earliest memories of the show are foggy snippets of Gibbs, DiNozzo and Kate doing their thing in the big orange room. Perhaps the most memorable are the comments that usually accompanied the show as the beloved steely eyed silver fox commanded our attention on screen, "That Gibbs surely is handsome." My mother would comment.

I would rediscover the alluring pull of those dazzling blue eyes several years later at the age of 16. My sudden attraction to a man who could be my grandfather would lead me down a rather hilarious path of self discovery. Did I have daddy issues? Were those blue eyes really that beautiful that age wasn't relevant?

The show now in its 11th year, would provide an escape from my 16 year-old life. A time during which I was forced to make all sorts of grownup decision regarding my future, leading to various uncertainties of who I was as a person. Yet, those blue eyes were always there to distract me for 42 minutes. I had 11 seasons to catch up on and so the addiction started. It was my dirty little secret, while friends chatted about the latest shows and trends, I clung to my geriatric love.

Today, I am far from the nervous, self loathing teenager I used to be. Well, I'm not a teenager anymore but the nervousness drops by for a visit occasionally. Through it all, NCIS was my constant, my crutch when life was falling apart.

In a span of 7 years the show had taken me on quite the rollercoaster ride. I've mourned the loss of beloved characters. Fallen in love with ships that would reawaken my love of writing and ultimately remind me of who and what I wanted to be. I've said goodbye to the same beloved ships as they were gunned down in a diner. Sometimes they were left behind in Afghanistan.

In its 19th season, I have to face the hardest goodbye of them all. A farewell to those constant steely blues that can make me swoon. It's admirable that Mark Harmon stuck with NCIS for so long. There's no denying that I mainly watched the show because of him, don't get me wrong I loved the other characters, but we all have our favourites.

So after 18 seasons and 4 episodes, 7 years of my life, I too hang up my NCIS hat. It doesn't mean I won't continue to preserve my love of Gibbs through my fanfiction. But in terms of tuning in every Tuesday, and as of late Monday, it's a tradition to which I say "So long".

But you're not a real fan! I hear you shout, perhaps I'm not after all. Yet, I'd rather say goodbye to the show while I still carry a fondness for it in my heart. I would hate for beloved memories to become tainted with resentment.

I look forward to revisiting my love of NCIS and Gibbs in my writing. My drafts are simply waiting for my life to settle down first. Those steely blues might be gone, but they will never be forgotten.

But most of all I will forever cherish the friendship I have forged with @from-stone-to-hallows . Although the LJ Gibbs era might be over, ours is just beginning.

Season 19 Title Sequence

19x03 - Graveside Goodbyes

[jamjar98]

“Yeah. You’re alive all right.”

Just the bromance being their typical, married-couple-like, arguing selves again.

[jamjar98]

“I like to think we made a pretty good team.”

I can’t even call this a Gibbs and Marcie moment. It’s not. It’s a Mark and Pam moment. Do you see the way he is LOOKING AT HER?! The hug, the familiar smiles, the PURE LOVE that they literally cannot HIDE? Her wink and their little laughs. Plus, the dialogue, which feels more personal between them than their characters. It’s the most adorable moment. They may be actors doing a scene, but they can’t hide just how married they are irl.
