One day, someone makes the mistake of mentioning Kate's wife when she's on the field and Gaz, Ghost and Soap expect her to be fine.

John knows better.

It takes John, Ghost, and Soap between them, with Gaz holding a hand over the guys mouth to stop Kate from genuinely being at risk of killing him. John actually lifts her off of the ground and walks out with her kicking and fighting to get out of his grip.

Ghost has to guard the door when he drags her out, Soap and Gaz can be heard getting a little hands-on with their interrogation. John’s grip on Kate is so tight that she'll undoubtedly bruise, but she'll forgive him when he stops her from losing her job.

"Kate- Kate, stop fucking- CALM DOWN- Think about it, it's a scare tactic. Sarah is at home with the cats, and she's fine, he wouldn't tell you about it if he wasn't going to touch her. She's alright."

"You don't fucking know that, you've seen the pictures, John. You know what he does to people-"

"Kate, calm down. Call her, phone Sarah right now and listen to her voice. She's fine, you'll be fine."

Even Simon has an undeniable picture of Laswell in her head. She's unshakeable, she's calm and she's fucking funny when she feels like it. But he's never seen this before, she's downright vicious and he can't help but watch with wide eyes as John grabs her phone out of her pocket and forces it into her hands. Can't help how his lip twitches into a frown that none of them can see as her voice shakes when she talks down the phone to her wife. How she slumps against Price and he holds her up, muttering quietly to her as her wife's voice speaks through the phone.

"She's fine. You're fine. He's a lying git, Kate. Nothing's going to happen to Sarah, you'd never allow it and neither would I. Hell, neither would Nik. The big bugger loves her."

Simon knows better than anyone that they're all human, despite all the rumours and the hero worship everyone gazes at them with. They're people. But sometimes even he forgets that Kate Laswell isn't a Station Chief, she's a woman with a wife at home and a group of cats that John likes laughing at pictures of. It's for that reason that he looks away, offers her the dignity of calming down in peace and slipping back into the Watcher persona without his eyes on her.

He pointedly ignores the grateful look John shoots him.

KATE BECKETT + character development

[echofades]

NCIS: HAWAI'I | 3.01: Run and Gun (Pt 1)

[rainbow-sunshine-unicorn]

No but I am once again thinking about how Kate is absolutely beloved by the entirety of Anthony’s family

Like, Violet is holding hands with Kate at practically every single social gathering we see in season 3

Benedict is literally her bestie and hypes her up all the time

Colin was heartbroken, in despair AND drunk in 3x07 and even then his entire face lit up when he saw Kate.

Eloise opens up to her, and values her advice so much

Francesca spent most of her very important Debut day tucked against Kate

And this is her with Gregory and Hyacinth

In conclusion, Kate is the collective Bridgerton family favourite

Yelena: Do you know what your shirt is about?

Kate: No, it just looked cool! Why?

Yelena: It is for Laika. One of the first animals to go to space.

Kate: Aw, so cute! What happened to Laika?

Yelena:

Kate: I expect they gave her a bone and a rub on the tummy when she got back

Yelena: Well, Laika unfortunately never made it back to Earth because shortly after launching she overheated, and she tragically passed away just a few hours after being launched

Kate:

Kate: You’re fucking joking

Yelena: I wish I was, no, she was launched on a flight that was pretty much one-way

Kate: There’s a dead dog in space?

Yelena:

Kate: So there’s a dead dog somewhere in the back of a frame of every film shot in space, like Star Wars

Yelena: I wouldn’t say-

Kate: There are dead dogs in Star Wars?

Yelena: Um-

Kate: That is unacceptable

Yelena: Laika’s satellite eventually burned up in the Earth’s atmosphere, but this was well after she passed away, as I say, it was just a few hours after launch that she died in-

Kate: I’m sorry can we just-

Yelena: Distress

Kate: - Have a minute’s silence for Laika.

Yelena:

Kate:

Nat: … When do we get back to cards-

Kate: I’m mad at you too.

Nat: Me?!

Clint: Next time let’s just stick to Uno

the LOOK kate gave the doctor after chidozie died. you just know she was silently taking back the "i don't thing you bring disaster" comment

[twopoppies]

Kate Cassidy posted a Liam compilation on Tiktok. I guess she heard her pap walks weren't that well received. Milking it hard now https://x.com/zquadrry28x/status/1865881296838316424?s=46&t=mvTAw9jWfh8OZn8f86CleA

Oh, my heart. Regardless of what any of us think about her, she’s the last bit of connection we have to Liam and these videos are really heartbreaking to watch. It’s hard to look at these and remember he’s dead.

He deserved so much better.

The way Kate did explosive heart eyes when Anthony said he wanted their child(ren) to know they're Sharmas too because she'd had to englishize herself to get Eddie a husband - shortening her name to Kate, not drinking chai, using the non-indian tools given to her for everyday things.

Anthony: the first englishmen in history to not erase a culture out of love

Mid-November 2008 : First day on the set of Castle (shared by Terri Edda) with actors Nathan Fillion (Richard Castle), Stana Katic (Kate Beckett) and Tamala Jones (Lanie Parish) during the shooting of the pilot episode "Flowers For Your Grave" (air date : March 9, 2009).

KATE LASWELL AND CO BOARDGAME NIGHT. POSSIBLY DRINKING. MAYBE MARIJUANNA.

I'm saying Kate, her wife, John and Nik because Kate and John would never let the lads see them high.

Sarah insists that they play Game of Life because no one is getting through Monopoly if her stash is involved. They don't go your typical route and share a joint. No, Sarah likes baking so they have brownies.

It starts off fine, they're still a bit stiff around the shoulders. A little too professional for a board game. Nikolai and Sarah use their critical thinking skills and bring out a selection of various snacks before ordering pizza.

And then Kate starts smiling when she's reading out a card, she's flashing her pearly white teeth and Nikolai is half sure she doesn't know she's doing it. "Your pet goat wins a ribbon. Collect 120K from the bank."

It's a ridiculously unfunny card but the way John snickers makes Nikolai laugh and in the back of his mind Nikolai quickly realises that the brownies are kicking in. Sarah is still content and happy, no change in her.

"Pet goat?" John asks with far too much glee for something so simple.

"What kind of lesbian doesn't have a pet goat?" Sarah remarks, feigning offence.

Nikolai rolls his eyes and points to the board on the table. "She isn't a lesbian, she started off as a blue figure."

John had immediately claimed the blue car, Nik had taken the pink while no one was looking and it'd left the women to fight over who got the green car. Kate had won and coincidentally, Nikolai had pretended not to see how Sarah had offered her chest a feel.

"Lesbians can be blue, John. You English bigot." Kate retorts, barely biting back a laugh. The relaxed, almost giggly aura looks good on her. Nikolai has seen her during the hardest days of her career and he thinks she deserves as much happiness as she's feeling now. John might be his partner but Kate is one of his closest friends and he'd be lying if he said it didn't warm his heart to see the both of them so happy. Even if they're high as shit.

John only lets out a loud bark of laughter in response, sinking back into the couch cushions.

He watches as Sarah leans over and snatches a pack of Chips Ahoy from the table, tearing it open carelessly and shoving one in her mouth with a quite frankly pornographic moan that is hysterically funny to him. He briefly considers stealing one but John is slumped against his side and there's no way in Hell he can escape out from under him.

Kate looks back to her wife and then at the arrangement of snacks on the table before looking back to Sarah. "Hand me the Doritos."

Sarah does not have the grace to swallow the cookie before answering and it makes Nikolai chuckle. "Get them yourself."

"Give me the Doritos or I'll pinch you."

Sarah grabs the bag with a dramatic look of irritation. "Only because you'd pinch my tit."

Nikolai thinks John is half asleep with how quiet the other man is until someone knocks on the Laswell's front door, the undeniable joy on John's face is something he wishes he could photograph if he could remember where he sat his fucking phone.

The other man drags himself off of the couch and towards the front door with a pep in his step that Nikolai swears he's never seen before.

"Even walks like a gayboy." He hears Sarah mutter between cookies.

Kate breaks into a fit of giggles in response, pointing at John with a Dorito in hand as she tries to form words that just can't quite break through her laughter.

Nikolai would laugh if he wasn't too busy trying to kick off his boots without having to reach down and untie them.

The pizza boxes hit the table with a loud thud and before any of the three have a chance to react, John has already pinched the top one. "Dig in, arseholes."

I don't think people seem to understand that they could've given up. We know fox was blocking bisexual Buck and that probably means they were blocking buddie, so they could've given up. Buddie is a love story. Their devotion to each other is canon. There isn't anything the show can do that's gonna convince me they don't love each other. But they could've given up at any point. Backed off, actually give any other love interest a fighting chance, double down on them being best friends and not make it bigger. They choose not to. They kept adding to this love story as best as they could. They are best friends. They are partners. They are family. They would die for each other but they also have fun together. They have one braincell they keep pingponging between them. They love each other. That's a fact. That will always be a fact. They are each other's person. And now we are at a place where that can be explicitly explored. It's a slowburn. It's a network slowburn. The desire to rip your hair out comes with it but it makes the moment they finally get their shit together that much sweeter. We're getting there. Somehow y'all had more hope when all we had to go on was a couch. Buck is actually queer now. This time last year Buck and Eddie were getting a comphet ending. Now one of them is actually queer. We're gonna get there, but they are not just gonna trip into a relationship because they are too careful with buddie as a friendship to not address the issues and make things natural before getting them together because everyone involved in this madness knows what they have in their hands. They know once they get buddie together it's forever, they're not gonna rush into it now they have actual room to play.

The way Kate and Anthony were really just canoodling by the drinks table for most of the Ball

[noturlondonboy]

Yelena: Kate Bishop, I finally figured it out. And you were wrong.

Kate: I’m wrong a lot these days so you’ll have to remind me

Yelena: the awful father silly haha joke you were trying to tell me earlier. With the cows and the chickens?

Kate: yeah?

Yelena: I figured it out.

Kate: oh really? What’s the answer then?

Yelena: Ten.

Kate:

Kate: Yelena that’s not the right answer-

Yelena: shut up and let me explain Ekaterina

Yelena: your whole life, you’ve probably seen the joke as 30 and 28, both full numbers. But the 28 is not like that- it’s just the number 20, and the word ate, like food.

Yelena: you were wrong. The answer is 10.

Kate: didn’t- didn’t Google tell you the answer was 2-?

Yelena, forcefully: Goggle and the author were wrong.
