Day 2 → The Moment You Fell in Love with Ressler

[aussieokie]

In October 2019 @alyblacklist and @aussieokie visited several past Blacklist filming locations, and set about playing with our Blacklist funko dolls to document them! The following 25 posts are the fruits of that labour of love! 

We had so much fun. We laughed a ton, studied the scenes as we headed to our next location, and had a blast doing this -  and we hope you guys enjoyed it too!

REDtember Day 22 - The Stewmaker 104

Good evening, gentlemen. I'm Raymond Reddington. Oh, this is Special Agent Donald Ressler of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He insisted. Dying to meet you.

Keenler Week - Day 1 - Why I still ship them

I still see a future for Keenler because of all they have been through, both separately and together. And while I feel the ship has been very one sided - Ressler clearly loves Liz - I know that Liz cares for him. She trusts him, and confides in him. He is always there for her and their friendship is strong. And that is a good foundation to build on.

For most people, it was The Stewmaker 104 hug that started the ship. That definitely piqued my interest! (Mainly for the angst! :-) But then in General Ludd 108, I began to see them as a future couple when Ressler broke that icy exterior he’d been portraying and cared about Liz’s grief. And ever since then I’ve kept this ship afloat in my heart for 6 years.

They are the same, despite appearing to be different. Both understand what it’s like to work with Reddington, and the secrets that entails, which is something they can’t share with anyone else. Both have a love/hate relationship with Red, and know he cares for them.

They both lost their loves. They understand love and loss and the loneliness it brings. And I have to believe there was a reason they killed off their significant others and left them so alone.

When the other is down, they are there to support and comfort. Cue the blue blanket, tears and angst! When they break down like this, they need each other.

They will drop everything to help each other. Even when with someone else.

They will protect each other, and each will allow the other to protect them when they are unarmed.

They look at each other and then don’t seem to want to break eye contact.

Wing Yee Chinese food is their thing when they share dinner in the office after hours.That’s after hours - when normal people go home, they come back to work to be with each other.

They understand each other. They know each other incredibly well, and are simply perfect together.

I don’t know what the writers have planned, but with Diego saying in Season 1 or 2 ‘they want me making moon eyes at her’, and Jon B saying how flirty 608 was, it’s clear they are leaning toward a true Keenler relationship, and always have been.

Thanks! It’s a few months old and I added colour digitally, but it wasn’t very popular so I hadn’t posted that one. I will add it here
