[littlelesbianlegend]

so you’re telling me eddie told buck “i wanted to tell you something” when buck event to pick him up at the hospital (after taking care of christopher for several days (weeks?)) after eddie got shot, told him he put him as his son’s legal guardian on his will a year before that because “no one will fight harder for my son then him”, told him “you keep talking like your expendable. you’re not” and they didn’t kiss? not even a little bit?

[eddiestightywhities]

Buck lets out a breath—one he hadn't quite realised he'd been holding in for as long as he obviously has—and the whole of his body sags with sheer relief the second he rounds that hospital door frame and Eddie is there, reassuring Buck with his small smile.

Eddie manages a raspy, “Hey, Buck,” and it might just be the most beautiful thing Buck has ever heard in his entire life.

Buck is nodding to himself, then, allowing himself to fully believe that Eddie is still here. Only now that he is seeing Eddie again, with his own two eyes at long fucking last, can Buck start to think about relaxing.

He's repeating these words in his head:

It's alright, Buck. He's alright. Eddie is still here and he's doing okay and he's gonna be fine, just fine, because you're gonna make damn sure of it.

The internal mantra is also, Buck realises, for the benefit of the universe, too, because he's willing the universe just to get it already. Buck is urging the powers that be, pretty fucking desperately now, to properly understand just how much he needs this man in his life.

Please, please don't take him away from me. Not ever. You just have to do this one thing for me. Please.

Buck would give anything. Anything at all.

Everything, actually.

And only after Buck has squared all of this away with himself, and the universe, can he finally smile again; smile back at Eddie—his Eddie.

Maura *about the Rizzolis*: “Every talk I have with you people gets more and more absurd!”

Jane: “You say "you people" like you're not a part of this family. I got some news for you, Maura Isles: you're already on the Christmas card.”

Rory and Lorelai having parallel breakdowns as they feel they're losing control and failing at what they've always wanted and them needing each other in that moment but having to go to someone else for comfort is a real ouch

finished s4 in my txf rewatch so i'm here's my top 10 so far. these are vaguely in order.

10. oubliette (s3ep08). this episode gives us soooo much big brother mulder. his gentle insistence that lucy, despite everything she's been through, is strong and capable and has value - that she can save this girl (and he's right). when scully calls him out on his overidentifying with lucy and he insists not everything he does or feels goes back to samantha...but when lucy dies, you know he's losing sam all over again. he can't save them all, he can't even save most of them, but by god does he try.

9. memento mori (s4ep14). cliche as hell but the fact that it opens with scully's sensual voice over reading her romantic diary entries which are addressed to mulder...insane. both of them facing a terrible reality, deep seated fears - losing her and abandoning him (is dying a betrayal?) the fact that he's ready to make a deal with the devil. the fact that skinner DOES. death vs love, fight!!!!!

8. beyond the sea (s1ep13). gillian is insaaaaane in the episode like how could anyone involved in this show not think she was capable of anything and everything? scully is such a great character in part because of the constant tension that exists between expectation and desire. the things she should want, the things she wants to want, the things she actually wants. she craves her father's approval while chafing against the weight of his expectation. the "i love this job" "you love your father" exchange goes craaaaaazy. and that's not even getting into the role reversal!!!!

7. pusher (s3ep17). another cliche but god does this episode go hard. another spectacular look into mulder's psyche and another situation that highlights the depth of their connection. when he kneels down in front of her and hands her his gun...i wonder how many times mulder walks into a situation and thinks that maybe he'll die. that maybe he wouldn't mind. i wonder how much scully knows that (her fear here makes me think she knows, and it terrifies her.) but all's well that ends well i guess (them holding hands).

6. end game (s2ep17). i just love that the narrative forces mulder to choose between samantha and scully and he tries to rig the game to save both. from "nothing else matters to me" to if anything happens to scully i'll kill everyone in this room and then myself. there's obviously a lot more going on here and i love all of it but that's my main takeaway. oh also dd rules in this ep. his regression back into a lost little boy saying "i'm sorry, dad," bill mulder you are bones.

5. wetwired (s3ep23). another classic "what are you afraid of" episode and this time the answer is "the prophet you are following turns out to be false." trust is their most valuable and sacred currency. the potential loss of that is truly devastating. let's not even get into the fact that mulder thinks scully's gone missing (again) and it's his fault (again) and he has to break this to her mother (again) and let's not talk about the fact that maggie defends mulder to scully and trusts him with her daughter's life despite everything. and let's definitely not ever mention the scene where he goes to id the body.

4. paper hearts (s4ep10). yet another cliche but there's a reason these episodes are well loved and considered among the best. "it's somebody though" just sums up everything you need to know about mulder. he is so deeply hurt and so good despite it all. he really is the best boy. another ep dd is superb in.

3. demons (s4ep23). part of the reason i love this episode is just because i think the premise of mulder drilling a hole in his head and injecting ketamine in it is hilarious. but also profoundly sad. can you tell i have a thing for mulder angst yet? and episodes that highlight how deep and loving his and scully's relationship is, however you interpret it? she's the first one he thinks of to call when he wakes up in a bad situation. she drops everything to be there for him. she won't stop him, she'll just take the keys and drive. what can i carry for you. what can i do. i will not let you go alone. another great example of dd's ability to play mulder at his smallest - when he tells his mother he needs to speak with her with his head down and his voice pitched just a bit higher...i'll jump.

2. ice (s1ep08). truly what needs to be said. i know this is a ripoff of the thing but i've never seen the thing so this is better probably. stuck in a small space, paranoia at the top of the world...also the guy who plays the landlord in new girl is here and i love that. both dd and ga are also both crazy hot in the ep. i think it just rules even as a standalone and is a great way to introduce someone to the series. just fun and sexy and tense.

3 (s2ep07). HE'S WEARING HER NECKLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

honorable mentions: lazarus (s1ep15); darkness falls (s1ep20); little green men (s2ep01); the field where i died (s4ep05); grotesque (s3ep14); terma (s4ep9).

where do i start a petition to ask duffers to recreate the opening scene from s4ep14 in 9-1-1 where buck is panicking and pressing on eddie’s gunshot wound in the moving fire truck and eddie goes “you okay?” with byler

[nygmobblepot-trash]

Not me writing Oswald fighting with Riddler about Ed and realizing it mirrors s4ep14 of Gotham where Oswald sets Riddler free.

It's so perfect. I believe Oswald would eventually see the mistake of freeing Riddler. He thinks that it's too late but we all know Oswald never gives up. In a drunken argument caused by Riddler complaining no one sees him. As Oswald argues he has a wild idea. If Riddler is cold hard logic, who is Ed? Riddler never drinks. There has to be a reason, right? Alcohol can make people feel and share things they keep down when they're sober. Surely this can't be used to free Ed.

I'm so excited to post this. I've been thinking for years how the big argument talking about their feelings would go. I think this is it.

Princess Cookie (s4ep14) is one of the most emotional episodes in adventure time for me
