"If you really hate him, do what I do: give him an amazing night of unforgettable sex, then dump him. You’ll ruin sex for him because new girls won’t compare."

Meanwhile, somewhere across the bullpen . . .

Season 7 of Law & Order SVU fucking *slaps*

Like, every episode? Banger! Plot twist after plot twist! Heavy Melinda features where she’s shooting guns & sneaking around after the governement told her no. An entire episode where Casey & Olivia take on homophobes while trying not to punch them in their stupid faces. Huang’s in like, every episode. Dana Lewis introduction. Blonde Casey Novak. The guest stars??!! Incredible.

(Seasons 8 & 9 are also awesome. Would be better without fucking Dani Beck but the eps are Casey heavy so i’ll do it lol)

Olivia: What are you doing? You could have been killed. You can’t just follow me into fire!

Elliot: You don’t want me to follow you into fire, then don’t run into fire!

Waiting for these guys to make an appearance on SVU 3.0 in the future

Maybe these 1.0 characters can help create interesting story plots again

I was just thinking like. What personal stuff did we have in s3? We had wrath, but like. Anything else? What did we have in s4? We had idk I forget the episode title but the heart to heart in front of Elliot's house. But what else? s6? 11? 19? The tradition of this show is 20 episodes in a season that are just straight case of the week and then 1-3 episodes with a more personal bent. I feel like they are doing a return to traditional SVU - highlighting different characters, personal moments short and sweet and few and far between - and that isn't necessarily a bad thing but it no longer holds our attention. Because the new episodes aren't colored by nostalgia, the way 1.0 is when we watch it now. Because we can't binge them all at once when they're dropping one a week. Because I think the way we interact with TV, what we expect from it, has fundamentally changed. They aren't doing it wrong but they aren't living up to current expectations. And what we always have to ask, when something doesn't meet expectations, is - were those expectations founded? Were we right to expect something other than what we have received? Or, at the end of the day, is the hotdog cart still selling hotdogs, the way it always has

I just made myself emotional thinking about...

the way she used to soothed herself by running her thumb over Elliot’s mini shield (which storyline I'm very fond of)

*clatches her chest while closes the eyes in suffering*

And now she’s cupping his actual face with her own two hands, feeling his warm forehead and nose against hers, brushing his chin with her lips.

Hold all of him in her harms and be held both body and soul. (Hopefully) Really talk to him without reserves, like never before.

Finally, they're back home.

*ugly crying*

that pause after “i did” dragged on so much i for real felt my entire life flash before my eyes thinking they were gonna make eo fucking off screen canon.

Elliot: Honey, I’m sorry. I can’t really give you any advice because I’ve never been heartbroken but trust me that it will get better.

Lizzie, crying: Mom was right about you.

She no longer needs to sending him home to someone else now. He no longer needs to leave her.

I ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ

This scene is heartbreaking.

“Since I didn't like her straight away but it was hard to find people that felt the way I did at the time I actually googled "people who hate Meghan Markle" and Tumblr popped up.” I’ve been BRF fan since the 90s and William was the good looking, athletic guy reluctant to be king one day and Harry was the fun-loving party Prince. I thought Harry would be William’s Princess Margaret (sometimes wayward but fiercely loyal and do all of the social engagements the monarch didn’t/couldn’t do). I watched when Catherine came on the scene and then Chelsea and Cressida. Harry absolutely had a type, tall, blond, from a good family. Then we get to 2016 and there are rumors he’s dating some random American actress who no one has heard of with some dime a dozen blog and on some basic cable legal show that she’s not even the star of. Let’s face it, Suits is not Law&Order or SVU. Not to mention, she’s short, brunette, and not from a connected family. She appeared out of nowhere and all of is sudden has a VF cover? I thought for sure he’d end it then because none of his previous girlfriends talked about their relationship with him but Meghan did. Then there’s IG in Toronto and “the statement” and I knew she was going to be trouble. She made damn sure everyone knew they were together. She still does it, referring to “my husband” and Duchess of Sussex on every article ever written since they married. Superficially, she looked smug as hell too.

Harry absolutely had a type, tall, blond, from a good family. Then we get to 2016 and there are rumors he’s dating some random American actress who no one has heard of with some dime a dozen blog and on some basic cable legal show that she’s not even the star of.

Yeah so when the news started coming out that he was "possibly" dating this divorced American actress I was like "yeah right..." then when it came out she was half black i thought "not a chance in HELL is this true" because let's face it...this is the guy who wore a Nazi costume and was known for throwing around racial slurs. No way was this story true. Then it WAS true and I thought, eh maybe he is turning a new leaf. Of course there was talk he didn't know she was half black until they had been dating a while and he was afraid to break up with her because he didn't want her to call him a racist.

While all of this was going on we got the spooning banana Instagram post and then the coffee cup with bracelets IG post. When that came out and you saw she was baiting someone into connecting the dots so she could FINALLY brag about her once in a lifetime catch I thought "she's toast...nothing Harry hates more than someone flaunting their relationship and talking to the press." Because at the time Harry was way more tightlipped about his life than William. Harry guarded his privacy fiercely and was known to drop people faster than a hot potato if they talked about him to the press. I never thought the relationship would get past this point.

Then Love Shield 1.0 and I was like you..."uh oh...we are in trouble here..." Also because there was ZERO evidence she was being harassed and she claimed in the statement. There weren't hundreds of paps chasing her down the street like Kate or Diana. In fact, it seemed that Meghan was courting and LOVING the attention. Smiling big and bright at the cameras and making sure to wear her "H" necklace. This is when I knew she was a manipulator and a liar.

Then when she was in London and kept walking in front of the Daily Mail offices to get photographed. She looked ridiculous walking around London in her "wellies."

When "Wild about Harry" came out I 100% thought "that's the end of her" so when they were engaged shortly afterwards you could have knocked me over with a feather I was so shocked. I expected breakup news, not an engagement.
