#that last one is just me being petty that he wasn't in the halloween episode

[imjustavenuxwithaboomerang]

more random ej caswell headcanons because he's still one of my favorite characters

(here's pt. 2)

he appreciates praise so much (i don't even mean this in a sexual way, he just needs so much reassurance that he's doing well)

he can easily recite the alphabet backwards

^he could also burp the alphabet as a kid (he even taught ricky how to do it)

he knows how to sew by hand

^sewing machines freak him out though

knitting is a big no-no for him, ashlyn taught him, and he's not terrible at it but it brings bad memories

^he tried to make a scarf for cash once, made it too small and cash ridiculed him and refused to pity-accept it so ricky put it on franklin (basically cash killed ej's joy for knitting)

^he also made a sweater once but he forgot to make a neck hole so his mother used it as one of those sweaters rich people tie around their neck

he definitely uses fruit scented shampoo and conditioner (his most used scent is a coconut hibiscus) and he has caught multiple wildcats sniffing his hair, ricky and big red being the main offenders

he makes a lot of "that's what she/he said" jokes (ricky, jet, maddox, and gina are the only ones who find them funny, big red would find them funny if he understood them and ashlyn's sick of 'em)

when it comes to pda, he's good with hugs and holding hands but kissing in public makes him uncomfortable half of the time (but if his partner really likes it, all discomfort will go out the window)

he's one of those movie/tv watchers that will ask a lot of questions (even if everyone is watching for the first time), he has this in common with big red

he used to own a bunch of brand name sneakers but they were mainly for the caswell image so he doesn't wear them anymore

he either swears by candles or hates them with a passion

he used to want to be an astronaut as a kid (this is so out of left field) and he has definitely run around with an astronaut helmet on his head at one point in his childhood

his favorite fruits are strawberries and pineapples (simply because i said so)

he really likes halloween so he was sad that he wasn't invited to gina's halloween party and was even more sad that dani and mack were able to attend the party and stay (ricky told him all about the party at one point)

i might make a pt. 3 idk yet

The Rookie 5x06 Thoughts

Another Halloween episode! Is The Rookie finally establishing an actual timeline? It took a few seasons but we're here now.

Spoilers for episode 5x06 for The Rookie below. If you don't care about spoilers or have watched the episode, please enjoy!

Starting off with Wopez and Elijah Stone. I'm so excited for the upcoming arc with Elijah Stone. I can easily see this arc potentially putting a strain on Angela and Wesley's relationship for a bit only for them to come out stronger like they did the first time around. When this episode's description said that Wesley knew Elijah's lawyer I didn't think it would because they were engaged previously! And then to find out he cheated on her and not the other way around was surprising.

I do wish that the writers had alluded to Wesley's previous relationship prior to this episode. The reveal felt a little bit out of place left field since there wasn't any previous discussion of Wesley being in a serious relationship before Angela. At least with Angela we do have a scene where she says she hasn't been in as serious of a relationship before Wesley.

When Wesley was explaining his former relationship with Monica (Elijah's lawyer) to Angela, I appreciated that he confirmed to Angela that he wouldn't cheat because he is truly in love with and not because he's scared of her. Wopez for the win!

The last scene between Wesley and Elijah has me excited for the rest of the arc. Also I think that Monica is already stuck under his thumb because of something he has on her or she's actively working with Elijah of her own will.

P.S. Bridget Regan's performance of Monica was great to watch I know her from White Collar. I was trying to place her for like half the episode and when I finally placed her I jumped out my seat.

(I couldn't find a gif of Lisseth on the Rookie so I'm borrowing one of her from Legends of Tomorrow. She's in the last season if you want to see her in something else. Don't worry about trying to understand anything the show is basically a sci- fi crack fic so just enjoy the crazy ride.)

Celina continues become a better and better character with every episode. She's just so much fun to watch and get to know. Her falling asleep while standing up had me cracking up. The fact that she continues to process information that she sees and knows through her dreams is great. I like that Nolan doesn't brush her off even though he has his own reservations about it.

Celina and Nolan teaming up with the DEA agent to solve the case was cool to watch. The case itself was pretty interesting but I moreso enjoyed learning about the DEA agent and his connection to the case. (It was lovely to see J. August Richards again. One of the last times I saw him was on Agents of SHIELD)

Celina not being able to sleep and ending up at Nolan's house was hilarious. I was cracking up when Celina immediately passed out on the couch after listening to Nolan and Bailey argue. Celina wearing the Turning Red merch at the end was adorable.

Nyla and Angela's friendship is always great to watch. All of the Wesley, Nyla, Baby Harper and Lilah scenes were great. James coming to the station with the baby was so cute. Also the way they handled Lilah being uninvited to trick or treating as a family and Nyla reassuring Lilah that she can come to them with anything was so wholesome. Honestly, I just love their whole family dynamic.

And finally, Lucy and Tim. Tiny steps forward are still steps forward. Lucy pranking Tim by sending him on a goose chase around the city for his radio was peak comedy. As funny as it was to watch it also showed us just how well Lucy knows Tim and its somehow better than we originally knew.

Tim with that old giant radio and Lucy having to get a picture with it just shows that their phones camera rolls are definitely of each (and Kojo). Also the fact that Lucy called in a check in just to get Tim to raise the radio so she could get the picture was the perfect combination of smart and petty.

Pranks and Bets really are just their love language at this point.

Finally, we have officially reached Chenford pining era!!! Lucy and Tim looking back at each other in the parking lot but just missing the other looking at them. I call Lucy and Chris breaking up soon. (It would be absolutely cracked if they end up breaking up when Lucy and Tim start riding together again.)

That's it for now hope you enjoyed. Until next time have a great day or night. ✌🏾
